“You are my daughter. You can name yourself traumatized, you can try to run away, you can live and breathe at the beck and call of that man if you refuse to bear any shame, but the last thing you will ever be, as long as I walk this Earth, is fucking mediocre.”

Love how Papa Pope will give the craziest monologues about like killing people while wearing grandpa sweaters

I would actually love a prequel series on Eli Pope. How he got involved in espionage and black ops. How he ended up the deeply cynical person we meet in Scandal. Was he like that early on? Or did it happen gradually over a long time, a series of increasingly dire compromises of his soul? Did he still have a bit of it before he realized the truth about Maya?

I mean, this is a man who lived through the Cold War, desegregation, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, Stonewall, the rise and FBI sabotage of the Black Panthers, some of the U.S.'s most egregious destabilization actions worldwide, just. SO MUCH. How much of his character is explained and informed by the heinous shit he's seen done in the name of "freedom" and never punished? That's a story I would be riveted to.

I’m rewatching Scandal (I guess I don’t have enough political chaos in my life?), and it’s hitting me that the show really kicks into gear when Eli and Jake join in Season 2. I like Season 1, but I’m ready for those characters and what they bring — B613! Olake! — to the show.
