Well, It's About Damn Time!

"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.

Annnnd, she’s back!  Shonda starts the 4^th season off with…  Well, y’all saw it.  *fanning self & crossing my legs*  Jake is still not hot.  Sorry, ladies.  But the scruffy beard added a little “something something “ to his overall look.  We all know Julia “Jules” Baker can’t make it out there on a private island with a man and not a care in the world without being dragged back into the fray. 

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of that foine brotha, Harrison that wore the tight pants and suspenders and talked really, really fast while staring intently in your eyes.”  Damn!  Damn!  Damn!  Maybe Columbus Short can now have several seats in his real life and get himself together.  Shonda gave him a proper send off

In memoriam...

though with the Queen of Soul singing in the background.  Who knew Harrison grew up in a group home?!?  The gang all showed up to pay their respects, even Command.  And the show moves on… 

And we’re back!  Cyrus got a makeover and some…hair.  Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?  Is that Ellen Degeneres’ wife, “what’shername” playing a role on Scandal?  Lizzie Bear?  What exactly is her role, though?  They said she was on Twitter and I hardly recognized her.  Cyrus breaks the news to the POTUS about his forbidden lover returning to DC.  That just throws a wrench into Cyrus’ plan to run the country with the POTUS standing behind the podium. 

That damn Quinn is back!  Ugh!  It’s been what, 5 months and I still don’t like her.  And she is going to make up the revised, “Olivia Pope & Associate” as the first member of the team to find their way back home.  Huck is having a hard time (and sporting a horrible bowl cut) doing a little spy work as a Geek Squad guy, “Randy The Smart Guy” at the Smart Counter.  How.  Pitiful.  Was.  That??!  Ohhhh, but he is still Huck despite the name change.  And Randy The Smart Guy is the reason why Olivia is going to have to come back for good.  He is her baby.  Like, literally.  Her first project.  The original gladiator!  

Now Abby is the Press Secretary looking mighty in charge and doing her best to imitate THE Olivia Pope?  Ole fake a@! “O-Wishia!”  Fly handbag, cute dark coat and all.  Poor imitation.  And Olivia read her up and down for attempting to throw shade her way, turned on her heels and did the Olivia Strut.  She’s baaaackkkk!!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!  Mellie is out of control strolling the White House halls with her usually perfectly coiffed hair, clad in Uggs, baggy sweats and some flowing Japanese kimono as she eats sugary cereal right out the box.  I literally laughed out loud!  And then felt crappy as I watched her lay on the grave of the son she struggled to connect with because she thought he was Big Jerry’s seed.  *moment of silence*

So, the POTUS tried to kill himself and Mellie saved him?  That will come up again later this season.  “Madam First Cray Cray” keeps a Chanel handbag full of the skeleton bones of the POTUS and one never knows when a bone will peek out of the Chanel bag.  “When you see her, you’ll tell me.”  See her, see her?  Or like, see her strut past the in the halls of Congress?

Dinner with Daddy!   I love when they get together!  I have such high hopes for them.  If Olivia or Julia or Jules or whoever she is this episode could reconcile her daddy issues, she could move on.  Right?  But then we would not have a show…now would we?  Scratch that.  Command still manages to show up at the dinner table and weaves all kinds of crazy lies right to his daughter’s face.  What is his angle this season?  I still have this strange feeling that Command and Mama Pope are in cahoots. 

David Rosen punked out…again…and did not do a thing with the incredible gift Jake gave him.  Typical.  And now he and Abby are ex lovers.  With David Rosen as Attorney General he can’t very well expose B6-13. 

Here we go, ladies & gentlemen!

I am still a fan and eagerly waiting to see how this thing plays out.  Mellie is going to be the character to watch this season.  Now to watch, “How to Get Away With Murder”…that is already confusing me. 

Side note:  Ummm…does Shonda have 1, 2, 3 television shows on primetime television on the same night?  Like back to back?!?  Yes.  Indeed.  She.  Does.  She’s bad, bad, bad!

Side note to the side note:  I think they invested in a better brand of hair for Julia Jules Olivia Pope because it is even more flawless than last season!  Waiting to see what the wardrobe show...
