"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.
“Heyyyyyyy…” *snapping my fingers* Is that Ron Isley?!? “Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowing
through the jasmine in my mind…” I
promise whenever the episodes begin with a little soul singing we are typically
in for a good time. Fingers, legs and eyes
crossed, yes? Dream interpretation is an amazing thing, especially when your
two lovers and your daddy are in your dream or nightmare! Anybody know where that lovely duvet on
Olivia’s bed came from? Better yet, where
can I get that black and white coat Olivia has synched so tightly around her
waist? F l y.
Cyrus with his boy toy again. Like, literally boy toy. He wants to take care of his new project that
is claiming to be without a father. He
has to know better. I am still trying to
figure out the role of Ellen’s wife besides her wanting to bring Cyrus down for
some reason.
Now O-Wishia aka Red aka Gabby but is really Abby has
resumed the role of being a friend to Olivia because they connected over Olivia
crying over a man. Ain’t that the way? And the POTUS entertains 1 minute too long of
his conversation with her and allows her to tell him that he should tell the
woman he loves that the man she is having hot, lusty sex with is alive?!? Please.
It’s nice to see Huck having a little bit of fun instead of
being the tortured soul he always seems to be.
And we know why. He is playing
video games online with his little guy.
That’s sweet. And kinda
creepy. Parents, pay attention to what
your babies are doing online. Anyways,
this could be a really interesting story line…
So Mellie has found a mentor of sorts in an old First Lady
that schools her on how to be powerful behind the most powerful man in the
world. I am not quite sure I can imagine
Michelle going for drinks with Hilary or Laura, though. Looks like Mellie is back in the game, baby! Perfectly coiffed hair and perfectly tailored
blue dress and all.
Command is a bad, bad man... |
While I appreciate the lesson on the unfair characterization
of women as “bitches” when we are direct, assertive and clear, it was a
bit…forced. Try again next week,
writers.
Jake and Olivia still don’t make a believable couple to
me. He is the consolation prize for her
because she can’t have the grand prize.
Fitz! I mean really…Olivia
doesn’t even know anything about where Jake comes from or his family that lives
in some Midwest town. Jake and Olivia’s
love affair is as much a fantasy as their sordid involvement with the
POTUS. “I want you to know that not
choosing me is okay.” Damn.
So, Command grew up in Detroit, huh? Figured!
He shows up at the White House to collect his dog, Jake from the POTUS after
said dog strayed and now he wants to discipline said dog properly. The POTUS and Command are now on the same
team? Of course! Jake is their common foe and they can bond
around their disdain for him. I wonder
which of the two dislikes Jake the most?
Command likely will never care for any man that attempts to love Olivia
but now he finds POTUS to be useful.
“Stay focused. Do what needs to
be done. Don’t be swayed by anyone. Give
her what she wants. Satisfy her then do
what needs to be done. Stay objective. Stay clear.
Don’t let love cloud your judgment.”
Damn! We all could use a little
Command in our lives when we are wrestling with love and relationships,
huh?
Command leaves the POTUS and makes his way to Jake to give
him some straightenin’. It is like he
has to have this confrontation with the men in Olivia’s life. He made a good point though about how
arrogance and the need to swagger can deter men from what they could have. Being the master manipulator he is, Command
plays with your mind until you are utterly confused about what is really goings
on. So now Olivia has to save Jake and by
taunting her love box in front of Fitz she just may have accomplished her
mission. Silly man. “You may be Command, dad but I have weapons
at my disposal. Weapons you cant
possibly posses.” Well alright now,
girlfriend!
Side note: They need
to replace Harrison like yesterday. The
2 team gladiator force is not doing it for me. Side note to the side note: 3 more episodes left and neither Shonda nor Debbie Allen are writing or directing any of them. Another sigh.
