On s2 of a rewatch and I forgot about this scene! Quinn’s trying to help huck find a new family after becky killed them and huck drives her to a house. Says there’s a dad and a daughter, mom died from cancer a few years ago but they’re finally doing better.

“This isn’t what you wanted at all.” “They’re not for me.”

…a close talker who stands too close! Am I right?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I watched it through high school and I think I was so blinded with the main love story that I didn’t realize how much of a villain Olivia is. I only ever disliked her for her treatment of Jake but my god she destroyed so many people’s lives to benefit hers.

Also I disliked Mellie for some reason and now I can’t even find anything that she did wrong without being forced or tricked into it ( mind you I’m only on s5)

I love that Olivia gets shit done but she really became Rowan’s greatest achievement after a while.

Does anyone else think secret service toms story line comes out of no where and doesn’t really make any sense? Like his sudden daddy issues obsessive kind of uncontrolled character doesn’t seem like him

It feels like he was their only option of a character that the fan base already knew

Interested to hear others opinions on him and his character

my god I know it's crazy. I started watching Scandal (In Italian, I'm Italian) for the first time 6 months ago and then rewatched it, then again in English, and now I'm on my 4th rewatch. Really I can't seem to find anything good enough to binge watch. Also, I'm SO in love with Jake, in his prime, season 3-4 he's chef's kiss. Then it goes downhill unfortunately

Mabubuntis kaya ako if nag do kami ng partner ko sa ika 4th cycle of my menstruation? By the way regular ako.

Okay maybe a hot take here but I think the show got better in the later seasons once it started focusing less on Liv and Fitz and more on mellie in president and the other characters.

I liked season 1 and 2 and was checked out during 3 4 and 5 and got back into it in 6 and 7.

Honestly sometimes I think the show would have been better off without Olivia

I can’t stand her in this season, I really can’t… anybody else feel this way?

What was your favorite deceptive act on any of the seasons? Just one.❤️‍🔥 One of my favorites was Justice Verna Thornton tried to assassinate the president. I was shocked when I watched it for the first time.🧐

Doing a series rewatch and I got to the episode where Mellie’s sister visits the White House yesterday. I always wondered what she was referring to when she said “the dirt I got on you, sis…” especially since they weren’t raised together in the same home, or ever had a close relationship. Mellie must have been a teenager then, since we know that she left home for undergrad and law school and then settled down in California when she married Fitz.

Feels like a missed opportunity that could have revealed more about where Mellie comes from and what she’s been through. The show delved into Olivia and Fitz’s daddy issues, but only briefly touched on Mellie’s.

I may be alone in this: the Scandal - HTGAWM crossover was complete excess from Shonda Rhimes and her team. I just found the whole thing unnecessary. The two shows just don’t have the same vibe or mesh. Scandal had to slow down its pace to match HTGAWM. Scandal rarely if ever waded into policy, it was mostly political intrigue, affairs, and assassins. I was just not a fan of the crossover and I think people mostly love Kerry Washington and Viola Davis’s interplay (which WAS fun I can admit that!). Also I can’t get over that Bonnie’s actress played a character that died in Scandal season 1.

I’m glad David Rosen died, he’s just too fucking naive for me. What do you mean you’re meeting up with Cyrus in the night WITH EVERYTHING YOU KNOW?? Can’t even believe he was the attorney general with his level of naivety.

Did anyone else absolutely LOVE when Annalise dragged Olivia. The white women could drag live when she rightfull deserved it all of season 7, but Ms. Keating came in and dragged her to the basement.

rewatching and i can’t believe how much mellie went though to make fitz president (don’t even get me started about big jerry’s dumbass) and how she stuck with him through EVERYTHING and he’s literally a fucking idiot.

Watching scandal for the first time. Why is Olivia so mean to her dad in season 7…like yes he did horrible things but damn she aint have to take his dinosaur 😭

I genuinely cannot stand Fitz. I believe he loved Olivia, but he wanted to control her. The way he spoke about her when she hurt him, and the way he spoke about Mellie, as if she wasn't the mother of his kids. LIKE HE'S SO UGH.

I loved Ballard so much more. Yes, he was absolutely insane, but he was so much better for Olivia than Fitz. I wish that was an ending but we all know Olivia was ending up with Fitz from the beginning. SIGH.

Like it’s so good and diabolical

What made Susan unelectable? I remember Mellie said Susan was unelectable… why was she?

Just finished the show as a first time watcher (literally ten mins ago)!!! I was always seeing Olitz edits and various other Scandal related skits on my tik tok FYP and felt it was about time I gave it a watch. It took me a total of 3 weeks and many late nights but it was well worth it.

That show was honestly a rollercoaster of emotions and I enjoyed every bit of it!

The B613 storyline ruined the show, I do wonder though if Stephen and Harrison stayed would it have been different?

What was the point of rigging the election to make Fitz president? Why did they commit this massive crime just to put that man in the White House? It wasn't as if they fixed markets to their liking, or passed a bunch of vanity bills or broke up human trafficking rings. I get that they all wanted power, but once they had that power, it didn't seem like they did much except try to keep Fitz in office. They weren't particularly ruthless with it in terms of policy, and they certainly weren't saviors of the world. It just seems like a lot to go through for no real benefit

When Harrison laughed and said "hahahaha I'm Quinn bitch" 🤣🤣 I laughed so hard!

I know he took Quinn because Olivia took his bones but I'm not exactly sure if the show ever gave a reason for why she took them in the first place.. I just don't see any reason for her to have wanted the bones. Was it just to kind of "assert her power" over Eli? Or did I miss something?

My God. Fitz and Olivia are UNBEARABLE!!!sheesh. I fast forward all their scenes…I’m tryna figure out at what point did they “fall in love” cause it just seems like an extremely lustful sexual attraction since day one and Olivia always looking like she finna cry…I cannot with their characters. I’m rooting for everybody BUT them!

I just finished a binge and went back to the start. So refreshing to see an Olivia I don’t despise.

Quinn looks like a baby!

My thoughts amount to one sentence: What a shit show.

It doesn't even deserve a post but it still needs to be said

i’m not dying peacefully till i find out if kerry and tony have done it😭🙏 this is genuinely killing me. tony’s wife is the strongest woman ik.
