Anyone else watch this show and want to talk about it?

I caught up on S1 and S2 via Netflix and am watching them as they roll out this year. I'm kinda over Olivia slugging back wine ... and being distraught because Fitz lied to her. I'm not sure when he's ever told the truth! ... and some of the story lines are meh. But something keeps me watching.

Actually, last night's new show had Lisa Kudrow as a wanna be Presidential runner ... and she had a scene that was so amazing, I wanna watch it over and over ... in fact, I might go watch it again ON DEMAND.

And there's some good casting, though I dislike Tony Goldwyn, who plays POTUS.

It's so soapy and over the top, but it's on against NOTHING, and I usually enjoy it when I watch. I love Kerry Washington, so that helps.

I thought Lisa Kudrow was AMAZING.

My favorite character is the damaged guy that used to be in that secret hit squad thing, what's his name? grrr

Oh, I kind of like Mellie too. The election stealing POTUS though, who can't seem to make up his mind about women? Annoys me.

too funny Mariah - my two most hated characters. Honestly I don't like many and I said to Icy on another thread that I do not know why I watch it. Guess for the few sex scenes. I guess David may be my favorite character. They did have too many cuts of the wine - just chug the bottle. Liked the song. I don't watch Shondra"s (sp) other shows so this is a first for me. I decide every week whether to watch Elementary or Scandal. I like looking at the new guy - who was in the thing with the old damaged guy - he's hot.

I remembered - Huck is the guys name you like. He annoys me

oh and I can't follow the Quinn story at all. It's a mush to me. Melly is too much based on the Clinton thing. I hate when Olivia and Fitz say "Hi" so over it.

See now I went to have another glass of wine and remember more - lol - come on now. Olivia's father killed her mother and the person that was ordered to kill her mother was her lover - potus? It's out of control. So ridiculous.

It does have that tang of "someone in the room did it" that soap operas usually do, because someone who isn't acting on the show can't have a scene to confess that they are the criminal ... considering they have a world of actors easily and readily available, I think they could have had another pilot of the plane than the POTUS.

I like Huck. I used to like Quinn, but with the whole "Mama Got A Gun and She's SO STUPID she thinks it's a coincidence a B613 guy shows up to teach her how to use it" ... puh-leaze. But I guess that idea goes along with the small cast problem I mentioned above.

Who is that guy playing the other pilot? I need to google/imdb his hawt ass.


ETA: OMG, Scott Foley! First husband of Jennifer Garner! I wonder if she imagines him when Ben is huffing away ... [cough,cough] ... uh, he's damn fine: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004930/?ref_=tt_cl_t10

yes he is. I've seen him in other stuff. Seems like he pumped up for this role but not too much. Just about perfect.

Forgot I used to watch him on The Unit. Yeah I watch all those types of shows. he was the good looking one. I think he got hotter with age.

Oh, he's definitely improved from his FELICITY days. He's movie star material now! Young Indiana Jones or something ... better than Shia LaBeouf!

totally = hot hot hot. Hope he stays on the show. If they kill I may kill the show. I'd like him and Olivia to get back together in the sexual healing way

SL is not even close

So am I the only one who likes David whom I think used to be on West Wing- he's not cute but I think he looks better too

Yes, you might be the only one. :)

I was not a fan of THE WEST WING nor SPORTS CENTER (right? that was his other show?) ... and something about him reminds me of a frog.

That rant by Lisa Kudrow is now pulled out and featured on Upworthy:

It was a great speech but seriously - what qualifies her to be president if this were real life?

What qualifies ANYONE. I think of the presidency as a "learn as you go" job for people who are already smart. Unfortunately, sometimes we get privileged dummies.

Last night's episode ... I guessed. When they said "one person was escorted off the plane" even with the idea that it was a man, I said "oh! Her mom's alive!" ... basically, once they cast someone in the role (for the flashbacks) I should have seen it coming.

But Quinn -- who is STUPID, obviously, is a bad storyline. Huck should not be ignoring her, because exactly this could happen.

AND how gross was that -- that Melly was raped by Fitz' father and her first born son could be his? Some stupid writers to say that she could bounce back to blackmail by the very next morning. Actually, you could say that they wrote it all as if Melly did that on purpose, but the actress didn't play it that way ... which was an error on her part or the director's.

I was bummed it was Barry Bostwick who played the scumbag. Love him - from Rocky Horror to playing the Mayor on Spin City (one of the few sitcoms I ever liked btw)

It could be but let's say Fitz has spermies that don't work. Could she have done it again for the 2nd child? Did she use someone else for the 3rd child? Who fathered those children. I suppose that's a storyline they could develop. Perhaps she wanted a 2nd and actually went back to daddy to get her pregnant again. I could write this stuff. We saw her have sex in the shower once with Fitz but that doesn't mean she wasn't getting it on the side to get pg right after she had the shower sex since they rarely if ever had sex anymore.

Yeah I also figured that too about O's mom. Why bring her up if you are not bringing her back.

This is beginning to get really stupid. Can you tell me to stop watching. It's so silly and OTT. I started to tape and watch late at night while I'm nodding off so if I make mistakes in commentary please correct me since I nod off and miss a bit in between or simply don't remember.
