A fairly low key episode by Scandal standard but there was still loads going on and the story is building nicely. It's just a shame that the episodes are so spread out at the moment.
Best bit: no Quinn at all
Had to bump this thread. Latest episode was cracking and it looks as though Quinn is going to be written out.
Does anyone know if season 2 is being aired in the UK?
I didn't like Quinn in S1 or for most of S2 up until the last few episodes... I really like her and Huck working together.
BID ditto that to the max.
Avoided reading the spoiler but if she goes then the series will defn lose something, though I can't pin down the right word to describe it... darn it. :mad:
"I had a very difficult time getting through that day.....Recalling his first day on the Scandal set, “I finished filming [another show] at 1 am, went to the [Vancouver] airport for a 4 am check-in, got on a flight [to Los Angeles] at 6 am, got to the set of Scandal at 9 am and started shooting at 11:30 am. I was completely stressed out and tired.”
It was good to find out about Huck's past... I think I'm a little bit in love with him.
I was in tears from the moment Liv said "you left me all alone" until the end of the episode, it was really emotional the whole way through.
Sometimes I think Shonda overdoes it with the speeches (in Scandal, Grey's & PP) but the ones last night from the Gladiators to Huck, from Liv to Fitz & from Fitz to Liv were perfect. Although Mellie has to be the speech queen... I don't like Mellie but when she delivers a speech she gets it just right, the actress is amazing.
Finally got to watch it Last night only recently caught up with the whole show I love it! Hucks been my favourite Gladiator from the start but his story was sooo sad I was in bits too Loved the scenes between all the characters some shows can overdo emotional stuff but this was perfectly done!
Can't believe there's only 3 more to go Mellies a right cow but Bellamy Young is amazing !
BTW why isn't this thread used more often!? Surely there's more Gladiators out there?
Mellie is a cow and I love Fitz & Olivia together, but I can see where Mellie is coming from... As unfortunate as it may be, Fitz can't have the presidency and have Liv. Is Mellie really wrong for trying to force his hand and make him choose?
This show is quite addictive. It's not afraid to show the american legal system and the political classes as corrupt entities.
Another reason to love this show is Guillermo Diaz, who plays Huck. He's appeared briefly in the Shield and Weeds, and each time has delivered a memorable performance.
Olivia: Huck, I need to know if info on B16 was to go public.. how bad is it?
Huck: Let's just say, we did things that would make it hard for you to sing the national anthem and mean it.

Depends how you look at it If its from an Olitz point of view than she's a total cow but yes you have a point there's no way he can have Presidency AND Liv but Mellies no saint either she can hardly claim to be the innocent one either

Mellie is most definitely no saint, but Fitz knows exactly what she's like and all about her own political ambitions... Yet he still hands her the ammunition to destroy him.
Olitz are quite possibly my number 1 tv couple at the moment, but Fitz is a bit of an idiot in how he handles everything.
I use to like Olitz but now they are so burnt out. I think they've done everything they could have done to the couple. Fitz is not so charming anymore, he is a murderer, selfish and quite pathetic. He is also a cheat and hasn't treated Olivia with respect ever since the defiance fallout. He got Jake to spy on her for God's sake! It's always about him and his needs. It's time for Olivia to move on with someone that won't cause her any pain or stress. She is losing her true essence as a character especially when she revolves everything around Fitz. Olitz are doomed in my eyes. Their relationship is based on deceit and lies. How can they ever be truly happy?

She kind of tried with Edison and well she did lie for two years about rigging the election.
Both of these people have hurt each other numerous times.
Shonda loves her couples drama....look at Meredith and Derek from Grey's Anatomy.
Oh my word, what an episode! I Don't know how to do spoilers, so I won't reveal anything, but the episode was certainly packed with surprises. I am so glad there is to be a season 3.
Comments
They ordered way more than the first series, so hopefully there will be 22.
There's a full 22 but no new episodes until March 21 according to the sources I've read.
Cheers, that's quite a wait.
Still it's good we've got a long season, it is a quality show.

Good. She served a plot purpose in S1 but has been a waste of space in S2.
Apparently he's in episode airing 9 may in US

I know what you mean. Huck's back story was heart breaking.
I was in tears from the moment Liv said "you left me all alone" until the end of the episode, it was really emotional the whole way through.

It was so sad.
Mellie better sleep with her one eye open.
Can't believe there's only 3 more to go

I've loved Guillemo (sp) ever since he was in Weeds. He can play a mean man better than anyone I know!
