Re: Scandal -- Season Finale -- "Grant: For the People" -- 5/17/12
On your first point, I couldnt tell if the first lady didnt know about the Olivia affair, or she was pissed that he indded had another affair with someone outside of the "circle". She seemed to also be upset that Olivia left them, meaning the team behind the president.
Very true. i thought she was being pretty specific, apparently not enough.

Olivia made Huck promise not to kill the VP CoS and he didn't: he had someone else kill him (at least that's the assumption but we don't know for sure). Technically he kept his promise but like I said, you have to be more specific especially when dealing with folks who have a flexible sense of morality.

Ok didn't see that ending coming at all...WTF? Now I want to know what happened two years ago and what strings did Pope have to pull to get that verdict.
I know she's pregnant and all but I still want to strangle the wife. Really, you're going to basically force him to go to war on national TV using pregnancy hormones as a rationale? I know POTUS here needs to grow a backbone but war is serious, you want a president that's going to take a few minutes before sending troops into any situation, jeez.

Yeah, that was one hell of twist at the end. Should be very interesting to see how everything went down to lead up to that point.

I thought the president's rant to his wife was interesting.
Because yes it was highly insulting but at the same time, boy did she deserve it for what she pulled. But you hear something like that at any other time and you'd be screaming for his head on a platter.

This show certainly delivers the twist endings - that's for sure. Heck, they have more twists per episode than any other show I watch. Really loving it.

Well the conspiracy just keeps getting deeper and deeper. How long will it take Malina's character to piece everything together and get himself into even more trouble?

David Rosen and Abby had better tow the line or the oil guy might blow them up real good.
The tension between Cyrus and his husband should be fun to watch and Huck on a date was cute in a creepy sort of way.

Holy shit, the POTUS got shot. That last scene was totally unexpected. The scene is in the video above. I loved how the episode ended so abruptly. Saw the ratings for Scandal were a season high last night.

I was hoping this episode would get a thread because OMG that ending! That came out of nowhere. I wonder whether the first lady was in on the assassination plot given how she was acting in the car. Does anyone think the oil guy didn't engineer this?

Re: Scandal -- Thursdays (ABC)
Shonda Rhimes said it was alot tougher to write season 2 because she essentially had to construct 2 separate story arcs
