Turn Down For What?!?!?

"Scandalous Thursdays!"

"Hi!  My name is Faith Margaret and I watch Scandal."  I enjoy it.  Thoroughly…and will blog  right here about all new episodes on Thursday nights beginning next week.  Oh!  Your theories about what is happening next in this suspenseful show are welcomed along with my musings.

“Be nice to them.  Just be nice.”  Mellie and Fitz putting on a front for their children that are growing up far from them just to pretend everything is fine.  I wonder how often does that happen around dinner tables every day as parents work through their marriages over time?  Clearly this is a disconnected family and the children feel uncared for and unimportant to their very cared for and important parents.  Bringing the kids in town to smile for the cameras and give the American people what they want to see…a family.  I was wondering just where the little baby was and he gets plopped on Mellie’s lap just in time.  I don’t even want to think of the challenges our current First Family must be enduring.  #notetoselfreadSashaandMalia’sbooks

Olivia is finally over Quinn because she pulled a gun on her and chose to walk away but Huck is feeling Quinn. So, the gross cat is jealous of Quinn and Huck and is turning into a stalker?  “You want me to kill him?”  Who tells their boyfriend it’s sweet of him to ask to kill the cat that is bothering her?

No she did not!  Olivia had a lot of nerve telling the Vice Presidential hopeful to stay away from Mellie.  “Glass houses, Olivia!”  But that Mellie is s l o p p y!  She gets caught with her slip showing (almost literally) by none other than her husband’s agreed upon mistress!  And her daughter!  “You were on your knees with Uncle Andrew!”  BOOM!  Then baby girl goes on to tell her daddy, the POTUS that Mellie is “doing it” with Uncle Andrew.  Oh, Lawd Jesus!  That’s a full 10 years of therapy RIGHT THERE for those poor children! 

I never trusted Harrison’s temptress and for good reason.  She is trying to save herself from Mama Pope who is no joke!  That temptress talks Harrison out of his tight pants (they make me very uncomfortable, by the way) and drugs him so she can get all the business out of the gladiator’s lair.  Interesting how Mama Pope is always in a scene decorated with grays, blacks and whites.  Just darkness and evil.   

 

“I am Command!  You don’t tell me to do anything and I am not your bitch!”  Oh, my! The Fake Command is trying to come into his own, huh?  He basically tells the POTUS that he ain’t running nothing but his mouth and he ought to stick to doing the easy stuff like giving interviews and shaking hands.  And here comes old Cyrus thinking he can actually harm The Fake Command for killing his husband, who was going to bring the entire White House down by snitching to poor David Rosen.

Now, on to the dysfunctional Pope Family!  Girl, you better listen to The Real Command and stop trying to dig up dirt on B6-13!  Didn’t you want him to be Daddy last week?  Here is Daddy being Daddy this week giving you a little bit of information to do what he’s pressuring you to do.  Save the Republic.  Mama Pope drops a line to Olivia and tells her she’d rather be at traitor than be the help to folks who’s messes she fixes and cleans up.  And.  And.  And!  Mama Pope commenced to threaten Olivia to mind her damn business!  IT’S ON!!!  Fascinating twist of the age old story of black women cleaning up behind everyone else and making everything alright for them with little regard for their own well being.  *message*

 

I still do not like Quinn.  Not one bit.  She’s quickly become a bit of a villain of the show and I really wish she gets whatever is coming to her already.  Oh!  I have never been able to lick a man across his face like that and get him all hot and bothered.  It’s just…nasty!  But Quinn and Huck are on another level and it’s working for them.  Cue the music, “Me and Mrs. Jones got a thang going on!”

Ladies and gentlemen, The Real Command versus The Fake Command.  Let’s get ready to rumble!!!!!  Round 1…ding, ding!  The Real Command offers The Fake Command a bit of mentorship to get through his new task?  Please!  “We are not equals.  Nor will we ever be.  You are alone.”  Basically, don’t come to me asking me for a damn thing, sucka!  And The Real Command didn’t even flinch when The Fake Command threatened to kill him.  Game.  On.  

Olivia ear hustles on a husband and wife quarreling over their affairs…literally.  Wouldn’t you listen in if you were her?  Hell.  Yeah.  After Big Jerry raped Mellie and impregnated her with the POTUS’ brother/son (wait for that to come out), Mellie told the POTUS she was no longer sexual after the birth of that child.  The POTUS waited for 10 years for Mellie to get her groove back again to no avail and ultimately another woman…enter Olivia…catches his eyes.  Now that the POTUS knows Mellie indeed likes to partake he feels betrayed and blames her for ruining their marriage and their children.  Mellie!  Tell him about his mean old dirty Daddy already!

EVERYBODY WAS JUST OUT OF DAMN ORDER TONIGHT!  E’RY DAMN BODY!

The Fake Command knows about Mama Pope and them…until next week
