I just stole @LuvTLC’s avi. Girl you can’t post shit like this!!
Well now that you’ve thieved it from her, you’ve pretty much guaranteed she never will post anything like that again. And believe me, she will always have more.
I was going to post a whole Tony and Kerry album, because I got a lot of pics, but since my avi is being used without my permission, I am just leaving what I posted. I hope everyone enjoyed what I did share. I’m sorry I won’t be sharing more.
The dearly departed Osborne said something to Olivia before he went to that great sunset that I think will play out in the next season.
She is important because she is the gatekeeper of important people. He had a file on her because of who she represented. The powerful people of the world whose secrets she guarded carefully as she fixed their problems. And Olivia threatened back to him she has people that are above his pay grade that could handle him with just a call.
So that black file. Olivia being exposed isn’t just a personal crisis, or a mere mistress being exposed, it is literally a threat to the entirety of the Republic.
Why? Because she holds the secrets of numerous congressmen, senators, judges, and a President in her little head. And being exposed, put out there, means that they don’t just dig about her but they dig about her clients. Who works there? Who has she helped? Why did she help them?
That little black file is probably her nuclear option. So when shit hits the fan that little black file opens all of its secrets.
This is a very dangerous game.
I can not wait to find out all the dirt and secrets are contained within the two folders Liv gave to Harrison! These folders will definitely come into play in season 3 and within the plot line of Liv getting out of her own mistress scandal.
LMAO! I’m remembering how before this episode aired how folks took the preview and dissected the mess out of it. We were analyzing blurs n shit. Snatch Yo Ass Gate (#SYAG) was born and each time we saw anything relating to this scene, the description became “Lawd Jesus, it’s a fire!” LOL!! We knew we were in for some business, and those quick flashes of the above in the preview sustained us for the whole week. Then there were the caps and red circles and arrows that were pointing things out, analysis of hand placement and other NSFW descriptions. That was some seriously thirsty sophistaratchetnes right there.
I swear. The shit we do in this fandom.
^^^And this why the Scandal fandom is the absolute best by far…
is what he wants in his life besides Olivia Pope. I’m serious. He needs to find something other than the Presidency or Olivia that makes his life matter to him. Something he’ll fight for. Painting. Anything other than Olivia because I need him to show me some fight. Something he won’t budge on. Something he won’t let go of. Something.
And a real friend. I need Fitz to find his fucking Huck that is down for whatever and is loyal to a fault. Let it be Tom. I don’t care. Because he needs somebody besides Mellie, Cyrus, and little Teddy to talk to.
I want him to have a crisis he solves totally without help. I want him to pull a David and kick everyone’s ass while getting ahead.
I just want Fitz to find himself. Seriously. Shonda? Seriously.
milton, this—for me—was precisely the point of the Oval Office scene between him and Olivia. That scene wasn’t so much about a break up as it was about the two of them needing to handle shit for themselves to be better people in order to have any kind of future together. It doesn’t negate what they have achieved in their interpersonal relationship. In that respect, they have grown as a couple.
I think it was a break up and not a break. Olivia knew as well as Fitz did what recommitting to Mellie meant. What Mellie’s terms were. So Olivia telling him to go back to Mellie meant that she was breaking up with him. Because Mellie won’t come back to him unless he promised not to see Olivia.
Do I think this break up can make both characters grow? Yes. But I also think that it was a break up in the real sense of the word.
See, I don’t think Olivia was telling him to recommit to Mellie. The language she used was very deliberate. She said, “Run clean. Run with Mellie by your side.” That’s entirely about optics so that he can win the presidency. That has nothing to do with committing to his actual marriage, only the public perception of his marriage (well, at least what they thought it used to be). The reason why Fitz dropped to his knees with Mellie is because he had so viciously vituperated the shit out of her in that hospital room, that he then had to go to her and eat shit because he realizes Olivia was right: he needs Mellie to win. It’s a fucking fantasy to think he can get a divorce WHILE running as president. A Republican one at that. Olivia had to be the adult in the situation, similar to what Cyrus told him earlier.
I remain unconvinced that that was a real break-up, especially in light of the last minute editing choice made by Shonda. We know their relationship technically did not end. It doesn’t matter now because the mistress bomb is going to force them to come together to determine a real way forward to a future they can actually have together. There’s no way they are going to navigate misstressgate without each other.

I think Fitz knows what those things are, but the fact that he can’t have Olivia or they aren’t together, those things don’t matter to him, because he’s not complete without her. And I agree, I think they have grown , but I also think in order for them to be happy, they need to stand up to the people in their lives. I understand what Olivia was trying to convey to Fitz in that last scene about all their actions. They need to stop letting people think for them. That’s their main problem. They need take control of their lives, and stop trying to control situations.
True. You can only control your reaction to a given situation, not the situations existence itself. Well said.

When intelligence speaks…AUTO REBLOG
If Jeff Perry doesn’t get an EMMY/Golden Globe/People’s Choice/Screen Actor’s Guild award and all of the others for his portrayal of Cyrus Beene on this season of Scandal, I will not be responsible for my actions. The scene in the ambulance ALONE could be on the only scene on the reel and he should win ALL THE AWARDS!
Best !!
YES and YES! The difference being for two he is their Avatar. For the third, he is their greatest love and she has no desire to be POTUS…that is the difference.
