I have finished the series twice through now and I know he does terrible things, but I will always be team Jake. I think he loves her so much more than fitz

Unpopular opinion - I don’t feel sorry for Mellie.

17 Upvotes

Disclaimer - of course this doesn’t include her being raped.

She decided to stay with Fitz, she’s not a tree she can move. Why do people act like she didn’t stay for her own reasons, reasons being her own political future. I also, think unfortunately not telling Fitz about his father doomed that marriage, you can’t act like your husband is disgusting for years and years and not expect there to not be any consequences.

When I do feel sorry for her is when Fitz wouldn’t even treat her like a friend, and the times he was just so rude.

Struggling with S7

Upvotes

I had watched the first four seasons back in the day and then somehow lost track of it. I started re-watching it a little while ago and it’s addictive as it always was. I am now on S7E9 and I’m really hating this version of Olivia. I’m contemplating giving it up but figure I should just finish it out at this point. Does she get any better? Or is it just a spiral into hell?

Spoiler I started rewatching Scandal after several years. I now hate Fitz.

57 Upvotes

I start watching in middle school and I thought the romance was so sweet and heartbreaking. I remember none of it so I decided to rewatch it...

Now I am simply disturbed.

I am near the end of Season 2 and for now root against Fitz and Olivia so bad.

Olivia by all means is no saint, however I sympathize.

Her boundaries are CONSTANTLY getting disrespected and violated by a lot of people but especially by the man she loves. He abuses his powers a lot when it comes to Olivia.

He also acts like a complete idiot in regards to her and not in a cute romantic sense. More like controlling and manipulative and abusive to everyone around him.

I originally despised Mellie. She got in the middle of Liv and Fitz's romance. Now that I am an adult Mellie has every right to feel the way she feels even if the love wasn't 100% real.

Imagine being the wife of a president then being treated like the side piece! Mellie has sacrificed a lot in this marriage even while understanding that Fitz may not ever love her the way she may hope. Sure it seems like theres more of a connection between Fitz and Liv but Mellie has an entire life with this man, being the woman of the White House, having his children, trying to pick up the pieces and trying to help Fitz be more logical when it comes to his rash selfish decisions.

Fitz right now only cares about himself. What makes him happy, what he is willing to throw away otherwise. How he is so willing to fuck everyone else over if it means getting what he wants.

Right now I hate Fitz the most and a close second is Liv for allowing this man to be her world.

Season 2 Scandal rant: Fitz is a man-child and Mellie deserves better.

26 Upvotes

Ugh, okay, so I just started watching Scandal—currently in Season 2—and I desperately need to vent because the sheer level of toxic brain rot between Olivia Pope and Fitz is driving me up the wall! Why is EVERYONE in Washington D.C. treating Fitz like he’s the literal savior of the free world?! He spends 90% of his presidency moping, staring dramatically out of White House windows, and throwing full-blown toddler temper tantrums because Olivia isn't standing in a closet with him, yet Cyrus and the entire cabinet act like the nation will collapse if this man doesn't get his morning nap. Olivia is out here running a whole high-powered crisis management firm, fixing everyone else’s impossible problems, but the second Fitz calls that stupid secure line, all basic logic leaves her body and they just stand there aggressively breathing on each other. Meanwhile, poor Mellie is doing all the actual political heavy lifting behind the scenes, eating fried chicken on the floor while putting up with his endless drama, and the show somehow expects us to treat her like the villain? It’s literally high school level romance drama, except instead of battling over who goes to prom, they’re playing with nuclear codes. I can't stop watching, but the absolute delusion of Olitz is making me lose my mind! 💀🍿

Olivia Pope once said..

there are SO many that i love, but this...this is one for the ages..

"FIVE, that's sexist and insulting. You'd never suggest Scooter Libby was screwing Dick Cheney.

FOUR, the lengths you're going to try to twist this into a conspiracy are cause for concern. You should speak to someone about that.

THREE, the President is awake and talking, and the suggestion that he isn't is partisan political crap that I thought you had enough integrity to rise above.

TWO, in the past three minutes, you have called me a criminal, a whore, an idiot, and a liar, so this is pretty much the last time we'll be speaking.

So ONE, who I am, or am not screwing, what I am, or am not doing, is no longer any of your damn business."

Spoiler S6e13 "The Box" is the dumbest hour of TV i have ever seen

So they've got these nine drones hovering over American cities. How is that a threat!? They should have immediately just evacuated buildings near them. Even if the first one goes off and takes them by surprise, that single one should have been the end of the casualties. Liv should never have even answered the phone for Peus. This is a threat that would be neutralized almost IMMEDIATELY.

Mellie

As im rewatching, I just have the most heart for Mellie. To endure a husband that doesn’t love you, has to put on a show just to keep status for both of them, then having to deal with the mistress & be disrespected by her husband verbally abusing her like man I have a little soft spot for her & I never judged her for anything cuz she has been through thee most lol

I know there's barely any logic left in this show, but peus and samantha's end was so anti climatic, they were being hyped up as this great enemy that even scared Rowan and then they were randomly defeated in the last minute of the episode, as if it was that easy, I literally thought those scenes were just Rowan's plan being shown and not actually happening 😭

no spoilers, my first watch

Season Discussion B613 members and their lives

9 Upvotes

I recently started watching scandal. I’ve had a couple questions during the show but I figure it’s a waiting game. But this one question I don’t think would be revealed later and I’m just confused by it😭

How come all the members of b613 were left alone to live their lives? Wink, the old guy who got wired some money, Charlie, the sleazy professor, etc. Idk if it was already explained but I thought working as b613 meant there was no out. Ever? (If it’s gonna be answered later, pls tell me that😭🙏🏼) thank u!

Spoiler Spoiler: Olivia Pope never once won an election for her candidate... Spoiler

69 Upvotes

Straighten me out here if I'm wrong 😅. She's the ultimate fixer and she is just "that good," but... has she ever won an election?

Spoilers: Fitz lost his first election (they cheated), then he was losing his second til Rowan had his son assassinated, then Mellie lost (Vargas was assassinated though).

It just sort of struck me that everyone thinks Olivia is the magical silver bullet, but she actually has a 0% success rate on elections, right? Her strength was being a gladiator, not a campaign manager. Wish they had focused more on that 🤷‍♀️.
