Jealous Fitz

[miltonsong]

It is amazing how many times Fitz has seen her having sex with someone else.  lol

Olivia has been recorded or documented having sex four times without her being aware of it.  She is the queen of the underground sex tape.  Fitz maybe should have told her that Jake had a tape of their encounter and he saw it.  lol

[baronessvondengler]

Once with Fitz on the trail, once with Edison, once with Jake — what am I missing?

[call-me-thirsty]

The Oval Office, inauguration ball night. I think it’s about time someone was like, “hey liv, people keep recording you having sex. Just a friendly heads up!”

[miltonsong]

Everyone has seen her bits and pieces all over Washington.  lol

[thefandomdropout]

With Huck in her pocket how the fuck does Olivia still have sex tapes of herself floating around D.C. ?!! How ?! C’mon Huck !!! Liv needs to learn to spot covert surveillance if she plans on maintaining her lifestyle and OPA.

[loveistheessenceoflife]

DEAD ROFLMAO

[sale-aholic-deactivated20190809]

Here is my problem with the Edison photos. Were they sitting up in bed with the windows wide open for all to see? Because in those photos, it was clear, no draperies, curtains, nothing. If so, anyone could have taken their photos. No telling who else has them as well.

[messyunicorn]

Yeah the pictures looked odd.

[baronessvondengler]

But who thinks anyone will be taking their photos that high up in the building? There’s no building right next to my apartment, for instance, so I tend to leave my blinds open.

commentary

[therawrchannel]

[corinnestark]

That look on her face in that first tile. I just want to give her a hug.

[lazyexceptwhencooking]

Her voice cracking throughout this scene is what broke my heart. She basically called herself and life toxic. To think of yourself like that is horrible!

[scandalouscastleanatomy]

That’s why I empathize with her, mostly stupid, reasons for always being the first to pull away from their relationship. When Cyrus gave her that little speech about Fitz being pure, I think that she really believed/s that. That he’s too sensitive, too untouched by the real world for them to ever have a relationship where it is in any way advantageous for him. She really believes that she lives on the dark side of the moon and instead of letting him bring light to her world, she shuts him out and pushes him away in fear that he won’t be able to handle the darkness. I just want her to communicate that so they can be great. Is that too much to ask?

[lazyexceptwhencooking]

They are so stupid and I love them. One thing that I’ve learned from experience is that fear is one powerful inhibitor. The fear of someone/thing happening or not happening. The fear of the unknown. What if factors. It can all cripple one from doing what they actually want in life. I see that in Olivia all of the time. Better to deal with other people’s problems than your own.

[corinnestark]

Sigh. All of this. I didn’t fully grasp that Olivia saw herself this way until 319. Those babies need each other and no one can tell me differently. 

[opasyndrome]

yep perfect for each  other

[corinnestark]

I DON’T CARE ABOUT HER!!! Ugh. How many flashbacks to we get of the actual star of the show? You know, Olivia Pope? If the flashback isn’t about her, it shouldn’t be there.

Is this truly fucking becoming the Mellie show? Please tell...

Olivia Pope

In short, “the girl has issues,” Washington said with a laugh.

As for Olitz, the ‘shipper name fans have given to Olivia and President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldywn), Washington was typically…

[blipsterinsverige]

'“Shonda is pulling a Bush and going Operation Shock and Awe in the back half of this season. She’s dropping bombs over Baghdad,” he said'

2) And look how successful that was wastefool

And

3)

Damn Columbus

[marsofbrooklyn]

The cast has drunk the Kool Aid.That is more than clear now.

[salemgirl0625]

Instead of writing good stories they’re are more concerned with shock and awe.

[bronzekat]

not impressed.

LOVELY Babies

[kerlivia]

I love that various websites posted this picture!!!!

[opasyndrome]

so  close

[gladi8rs]

Scandalverse: Since the Toxic "Whore" question should be addressed to the writing room. Who follows any of the writers? Just curious and if so fling their names this way, please...I have reasons hehehe. Please and thank you.

No, I am not putting this down. I have a bee in my bonnet.

[scandalbitchinheels]

Please share if you find out!  I am not wanting to let this go either. 

[gladi8rs]

Oh I will…there is method to this woman’s madness, baby.

Zahir McGhee (@Zterps) Heather Mitchell (@HeatherTypes) Chris Van Dusen (@chrisvandusen)

[gladi8rs]

Thank you.

[opasyndrome]

yep, we  have to  thank  the  writers  for  giving  us this version of  OLITz, obviously  not  following proper  methods for developing characters,  and  who  doesn't "write for"  their  lead  characters.....and  follows no  logical  patterns.....   why  should  we  care about  Mellie's  HS  days, you  haven

t  seen anything abut  Olivia's  college  days, when she  met  Cryus, that  would  be interesting, and  go  along with  the plot!!!!! 

[sale-aholic-deactivated20190809]

Interviewer: Kerry, we are glad to have you here. How is your day?

Kerry: It is great, I am blessed to work with such great actors such as Tony Goldwyn and those others. They All are simply lovely people.

Interviewer: So, I heard you use...

[opasyndrome]

hmmmmm

[kerlivia]

When Tony is directing, i am the most poorly behaved actor on set. {Just to drive him nuts? - RS} Absolutely!

I love it.

WELCOME TO SCANDAL 101- Music- You’re All I Need to Get By from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

This piece of Motown Gold was immortalized into the SCANDAL fandom during episode 2x20. Earlier in the ep, Liv came to the White House and threw down the Gauntlet to FTGIII  basically saying, ‘put up or shut up, motherfucker’ (something that I really want to see reversed in Season 3. I’m so sick of seeing Liv run and Fitz beg. Nope. I want her to stop running, woman up, and frickin’ earn her Fitz. It would be even better if Baby Boy actually threw the EARN me thing back!) and in response to that (and some timely advice from a certain sassy political dragon…), FTGIII showed up to her place and sat with her as they ran out an ultimatum clock.

The scene was one of the best of Season 2 and of the show in general plus it was the precursor to some high quality Olitz citrus so…yay.

You’re all I need to get by. Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you, And it was plain to see, you were my destiny. With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride I’ll sacrifice for you Dedicate my life for you I will go where you lead Always there in time of need And when I lose my will You’ll be there to push me up the hill There’s no, no looking back for us We got love sure ‘nough, that’s enough You’re all, You’re All I need to get by. I all, you’re all I want to strive for and do a little more All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one You’re all, You’re all I need to get by. You’re all I need to get by. Like an eagle protects his nest, for you I’ll do my best, Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me Darling in you I found Strength where I was torn down Don’t know what’s in store but together we can open any door Just to do what’s good for you and inspire you a little higher I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn’t have a goal Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination You’re all, You’re All I need to get by. I all, you’re all I want to strive for and do a little more All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one You’re all, You’re all I need to get by.

Ol[tz is all I need

[mintysmiscellany-deactivated201]

Lol just saw that the Jake promo shots had 25 notes and the David promo shots had 17 notes. Meanwhile…Harrison (who can’t get no respect from the writers) is at over 300 notes.

[induetime00]

Someone posted SF Charisma photos layout…even tagging KW, SF, and Olake…it got an AMAZING 7 notes total.

Cast being asked what they can reveal about what’s coming up on Scandal after they won the Image Award. Love Columbus’s joke about Tony tap dancing in the Oval Office 

[tonyssidechick]

I love how Tony seemed to be in charge of screening the questions. You saw how he did it at the end…that’s our Admiral. The deep voice isn’t just used to keep us moist.

[marsofbrooklyn]

The last sentence!!! He’s the male lead, it comes with the territory.

[opasyndrome]

hmmmm

[kronosinasuit]

Kronos! Just finished listening to "DrunkScandal" podcast for S2E:11 "A Criminal...". It was great. You, @katinapavela, @mellygrant and the call-ins. What really stood out of for me of from the freewheeling discussion was when you said that S3 was completely forgettable and their wasn't one thing memorable about it. The entire season? Maybe E2 "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" when Jake was released from the hole (who wouldn't want to forget that?) But the entire season? Really? Wow! That's harsh!

Woa!

I just realized I never answered you!! Please forgive this horrible monkey as I grovel at your feet!!

But back to your question, do I think season 3 so far has been forgettable?

Well… Yes. I know it sounds harsh, but I’m putting it here in comparison to season 1 and 2 (or 1 and 2a). Just thinking about it, there’s one minute, the trail, the couch, the closet, the Great Read of Edison, Cyrus calling off the hit, Huck in 752, Defiance… I mean I could go on.

But then I think about this season so far and… Vermont and Rowan. That’s all.

Yes there have been fewer episodes and yes I have seen them less than I have season 1 and 2 —- but I haven’t felt the same urge to re-watch this season as a whole like I did the other two (and multiple times).

So, what is the cause of this?

Thinking about it objectively, there have been so many twists and crazy plot and character moments this season - surely it would be memorable to say the least?

And yet it isn’t.

And the only reason I can think why, is that the crazy moments in season 1 and 2 were grounded in a strange Scandal-verse reality, where all the actions (though mad) had a cause, a motivation, and a consequence.

The stakes were high, and they kept getting higher — but they also had a reason to move.

Now in this season so far, characters do things for the sake of doing THINGS!! rather than what their history and personality dictates. THINGS!! happen but I no longer feel the weight and importance of them because it seems like they will just be dropped and moved on from.

I mean Vermont-gate was amazing, but will it actually affect Olitz? Other than them popping in mentions of Jam and knitted sweaters in their future arguments/conversations? Ok they’ve made progress, but they’re still in this weird holding pattern just for the sake of it.

Also, the main jaw dropping OMG moment of Olivia’s name being leaked was promptly swept under the rug, and the very thing to cover it up was the same giant plot point and looming catastrophe of the entire first season.

Season 3a is forgettable to me because it seems to be just sound and fury signifying nothing.

However, they do have a chance of turning that around in 3b. They could pick up lose ends and bring down the consequences like a heavy axe.

They can make that shit get real.

Then I’m gonna remember it.

[corinnestark]

I agree with practically everything you said here, Kronos. I’ve had the same response with the lack of wanting to rewatch eps. I still go back and watch eps of season 1&2. The only ep I’ve watched rewatched since 3a ended is 308. As much as I’d hate for Olitz to be on the outs again I really think they need to address the fact that it was Fitz that outed Olivia. The whole arc got swept under the rug so fast and it had such dramatic potential. The problem is that since Olivia forgave Fitz of something much more damaging, i.e. him being responsible for her Mother’s death, the idea that she couldn’t forgive him for just wanting to tell the truth seems like a stretch. That’s the problem when you go immediately for the #omghastagletsbreaktwitter moments - ultimately they start to feel insignificant when there aren’t any consequences.

[iknowwhythesongbirdsings]

So…I’m very likely alone in this…but that’s okay…but personally I hated the idea of Fitz being the one to out Olivia. I felt it was a convoluted plot twist that went nowhere and made Fitz seem like a lovesick schoolboy bent on having the girl he loved and not thinking through the consequences of his actions. Few people understand that

everyaction has a consequence better than the leader of the free world, given the weight of the decisions he must make daily. I never thought making Fitz the outer was a good decision plot wise, just like I never thought having him kill Verna was a good decision. It doesn’t help that I live and work in the DC metro area and my work and performance lives bring me into contact with Congress and the White House…so nothing about Scandal has the look or feel of reality to me. So in the end, I really don’t care that there were not consequences to him for outing her, though I agree that it would make for a more substantive story if there were. I’m just so overwhelmingly disappointed with everything that Scandal has become.

#Scandal, S01E06:  My personal, all-time favorite scene from Olitz.  And this was from Season 1, which helped to lay a rock-solid foundation for their epic love affair.  Olitz for life.    -Redorkulous

[seveneaglestar]

This is mine too because it showed me how much Fitz really does love Olivia. Before this scene I didn’t buy his love for her, but TG did a fantastic job of showing Fitz’s love for Olivia and the pain of losing her again.

[marsofbrooklyn]

This had been my number one until Vermont is For Lovers, Too where Fitz had that monologue and his voice cracked and you could see the longing (similar to the longing in this scene) in his face and eyes. I will always contend that this was the best episode of the series. Excellent from start to finish.
