My latest Twitter Feed- Re: #5candal expectations- Time of Healing for Liv and Year of Olitz...
Subject: #5candal #Olitz crunch time...
1.I probably sound like a broken record but #5candal better be the Time of Healing for Liv and the Year of #Olitz all the way through!
2. Not 5A, not an episode arc, not 5B leading to a rip-off, the WHOLE ENCHILADA. #5candal should get Liv some real help and keep #Olitz solid.
3. And since the #5candal promos have put #Olitz dead center ('at last', anyone?), nobody should be shocked that we expect them to deliver.
4. In previous seasons of #Scandal, #Olitz was implied and teased, giving the writer's room room for rip-offs. Not this year. It's do or die.
5. #5candal needs to return to the original formula (OPA/WH) and the focus should be on Liv, Fitz, and #Olitz. Everything should orbit them.
6. There's plenty of drama to be had in #5candal without screwing Liv and Fitz over solo or breaking #Olitz up again.
7. So far, the #5candal teasers and promos have been on track for a solid, sensible season but it's Shondaland and anything can happen.
8. Hope for the best, expect the worst, as I've said before. I want to see what's going to happen for #5candal and I'm looking forward to 9/24.

Lynn @iwrite4olitz1 They say getting Liv help wld be boring but there's so much room for story there. Wasted opp. if they don't take it.
9. @iwrite4olitz1 If they can make a whole season arc (Grey's 4B) of Meredith Grey seeing a shrink interesting, then they can with Olivia Pope
10. @iwrite4olitz1 It's necessary. Olivia went through hell and back plus she's been a bubbling cauldron of issues since the Pilot.
11. @iwrite4olitz1 To not let her at least consult with a shrink is like a drop kick to the teeth of every WoC with issues.
12. @iwrite4olitz1 Even the strongest "strong black woman" needs support and guidance from an objective party to keep things balanced.
13. @iwrite4olitz1 I'm gonna keep on them about it. If we can get #Olitz progress by going HAM, then we can get Liv some real help soon.
