Scandal season finale

[pugz]

Lots happening tonight

[pugz]

Poor little Jerry

[bbaggins]

There's only 20 minutes left and I have no idea what the cliff hanger is going to be this season. Last season finale was amazing.

[Vespasia]

I'm so glad Fitz finally did something right. The way he acted with Mellie earlier was the kindest I've seen him behave.

As soon as I saw B613 spy Secret Service guy touch Jerry's shoulder before he walked on stage I knew something bad was going to happen. I think Daddy Pope was involved, with or without Momma Pope. His being in the hospital was mighty convenient.

I'm so glad this season is almost over. Hope next season gets back on track

SERIOUSLY! Hopefully Fitz recommits to Mellie and Olivia can go back to kicking ass and taking names.

Momma Pope ain't dead.

[pugz]

Papa Pope. As badass as ever

[pugz]

No way is Mama Pope dead

[Vespasia]

Oh fuck you Fitz. "Where's Olivia?" You big fucking baby.

Poor Mellie. She loses her son and her husband, again.

[bbaggins]

Just posted on the ML Scandal thread but I'm not mad at the finale but this was nowhere near as amazing and suspenseful as I thought/hoped it would be. I'm just "meh" about it.

I guess liv forgot jake choked the shit out if her a couple of episodes ago. And of course killed the father of her god child. And used to spy on her. I am going to need for her to get some better taste in men.

YES! Did they just glaze over the fact that Jake had his hand wrapped around her neck?

Anybody watching the Jimmy Kimmel Scandal special?

Shonda and a lot of the cast are going to be on as well.

[cookiemdough]

I am wondering if that is why Columbus short has been on the downward spiral in real life... He was killed off scandal

Sigh. With the exception of poor lil' Jerry dying and Huck going back to his family, this shit was boring.

I know right? Mama Pope being alive wasn't even a "shock." Fitzgerald had one redeeming moment this entire season and it lasted all of 30 seconds. I dont know if there's going to be another season but if there is and the first episode is as lame as this whole season, I'm done.

Was anybody else thinking while were talking about sedating Mellie and the family, that they should be giving them and a whole bunch of other people antibiotics to prevent them from getting meningitis.

I know that wasn't the point of the episode, but it stuck out to me, likely because I like science stuff.

Right?  He was blood spraying all over the place and no one else became ill?  And where was the baby?

Also, Quinn's annoying.  Fitz and VT...Vt is over, dude.

No one cares about Mama Pope anymore.

It was boring, but every morning show is all "SCANDAL AMAZES".  No. no.  It only amazes people who like boring tv.

I thought it was pretty good.

Yes, Quinn is annoying. I was thinking who's wearing lingerie like that in the middle of the day during her and Huck's yucky sex scene.

[Vespasia]

Let's not speak of the Huck/Quinn sex scene 

Overall I thought the finale was fine. It left some suspense for next season without being a giant cliff hanger. I really hope that next season is better overall. I know it's been said a million times on here but less Olivia/Fitz angst and more fixing is the only way I'll stay with this show next season. 

I wonder if Olivia running off was written in so that Kerry Washington can have a lesser role in the first few episodes next season? If for some reason she can't get back to work full-time right away after having her baby. I can't imagine that would be good for ratings though.


The Harrison cliff hanger will make Shonda's life a lot easier if the actor ends up in jail.

Sorry, I was annoyed with it as I remember the first season. I lashed out on Shonda

Yes, please, I need to bleach my eyes and brain after that. It was so icky to put it mildly.

I actually liked it. Daddy Pope is a beast. I knew Mama Pope wasn't dead and there is bound to be more drama for her soon. I want a new love interest for Olivia maybe they will bring in some fine, dynamic butt kicker for her soon.

If we lose Harrison then we will really, really need some new eye candy for next season. Scott Foley is OK but he really only does it for me when he takes his shirt off.

The meningitis thing bothered me too - Tom gave it to Jerry by rubbing it on his ring and then rubbing his back and no one else gets sick, not even Tom?

I thought he injected with a little needle he had on a ring?

Tom's ring had a needle or something on it right? So he essentially injected Tom  with the bacteria. I doubt it would hit him that fast but I can see how others wouldn't get sick.

I took a quick look and it looks like bacterial meningitis isn't spread by casual contact: CDC link 

Maybe Megan Heimer will come give us her expert opinion? 

[eponinepontmercy]

So were Mama and Papa Pope in it together? I kind of got that impression when Fitz said she was connected to the meningitis, and the look they gave each other at the end.
