Scandal 5/17

[Deleted]

In some ways I hate this show. So much of it just seems stupid and unrealistic. For example, why do all those people need law degrees if what they do is basically private investigation and PR?? That said, I also can't stop watching, and feel like it's actually gotten pretty good in the last two or three episodes.

And who the hell is Quinn? This is an interesting twist. Are there some clues that were dropped that I missed, or was this just completely random?

Oh, and I was also like WTF is she thinking to pull the scissors out of his neck??? Maybe he would have lived if she hadn't made him bleed out.

I like your taste in shows.

Did you know Olivia is actually based off someone IRL? I had no clue til I read TV Line's post-finale interview with Shonda tonight.

That said, I don't think they all have law degrees. Like I don't think Huck does. That's not his specialty, as we saw a couple episodes back. He just knows enough to follow along. I don't think Abby does either.

I love this show. I kept thinking I'd get tired of it, but each week got better and better. Although, I was scolding Quinn for being stupid enough to pull the scissors from his neck, especially since she did it before she had anything better than her hands to use as pressure on the wound. Idiot.

I don't think there's been any clues about Quinn. They said in one episode that Cyrus couldn't dig up any info on her because she didn't seem to exist past xy time, but that's it. Excited for next season, but it's supposed to be short too- 13 episodes.

Ha ha ha, too funny.

My other shows are Private Practice, Revenge, Smash, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big C.

Oh, and when they come back, I'll be watching Weeds, Homeland, and True Blood.

What about you?

[Dumbledork]

No PP, Big C, Homeland or TB. I kept saying I was going to start Big C and Homeland, and I'd catch snippets here and there and liked it, but I just never got around to actually watching them.

What is Quinn's true identity? I always thought it was odd that someone so shaky and nervous would be chosen to be on Olivia's team.

[hannamarin]

I am haing trouble understanding how Quinn could have ever got a law degree without an identity?
I think she is the daughter of someone like a dictator? Or a mafia boss? It cant be a really bad thing or she wouldnt be released by that detective guy.
I really thought the presidents wife was going to be behind Amanda Tanner

[backinpgh]

I loved it.
It seems like the law degrees help them get around the legal process when they need to.
Can't wait to see who Quinn really is!

[thatgirlang]

To PP about Olivia Pope being based on a real person- I didn't know until recently. It's very interesting! I read an article about her. She consults on the show. She worked for Daddy Bush.

As for Quinn, my friend thinks she is the real Amanda Tanner. Don't ask me to explain her theory! Lol

I thought this too!


As for the rest - I liked this show when it started, but I like it more and more each week that I watch it. I can't wait to see what happens next season.

[lilygirl]

Another vote for her being the real Amanda Tanner though I'm not sure how that would have gotten by Billy Chambers.

I'm hooked.
