Spoiler Alert – this blog is dedicated to my addiction
Scandal so indulge me for a minute as Liv and Fitz like to say. Just one
minute. So here we go…
OMG! OMG ! OMG!
To all the @Gladiators out there, we all know what that
means. To the nonGladiators, you missed an awesome show last night. Shonda Rhimes and her team of writers are the best
writers on the planet in my opinion. There is nothing that can top ABC’s
Scandal – not even close. I can say that because I am totally biased and I don’t
really watch anything else on TV because it is this show that keeps me coming back
every single week to get my Scandal Fix.
Just when my interest was starting to wane. Just when my
faith in where the show was going was starting to slip away, last night I was transported
to a whole new level on my favourite show ABC Scandal. I am literally obsessed
with this show and last night there were so many OMG moments that I lost count.
OMG! OMG!OMG! No one is safe on this show. Nothing is out of bounds. My heart
is still racing. Palms are still sweating and it’s the next morning already. Totally
awesome show.
As I told one of my
fellow Gladiators during the intense tweeting and Facebooking session last
night, my little Samsung tablet could not keep up with the pace that the tweets
and posts were streaming so it kept freezing. I swear there was steam coming
out of its top as it froze several times. Frustrating me to no end
particularly when I felt I had something so profound to say. But then again I
was so transfixed by the show that I didn’t mind not posting because I didn’t want
to miss a word. How many negative can you count in that sentence. Hopefully
they cancel out to mean something positive but whatever - it is Scandal after all!
I am an #Olitz fan all the way but last night I was on the
fence for the first time thinking that #Olake may not be such a bad option
until Liv turned her back on Jake sending him off the edge. Giving him what
little nudge he needed to assume his whole Command persona and go in my opinion
“Postal”. The monologue he started and sorted ended with showing that he has
some deeply disturbing issues going on in his background that can make him
become as cold as ice and as calculating as a fox. Remember power corrupts. And Jake is
about to become so corrupted with so many scores he wants and needs to settle that it is firghtening.
Chilling thought really.
And then Liv turns back to Fitz and says to him, “Let’s just
stop pretending. Let’s just be here.” At first I thought she needed to add, “Be
here right now in this moment. With me. You and me together.” But I guess she didn’t
need to because when she grabbed his face and took command of their situation
for the first time, her actions spoke louder than any words ever could. The pain in both their faces. The kiss nearly
melted my heart. Liv just brought everything back to the present moment. Insulating
them from the past and the future that may never be. The reality that is them
rather than the fantasy that may never happen for them. “There is no Vermont.”
I nearly cried. Sealing their moment with that hungry kiss made me weak. So once
again I was strongly an #Olitz fan but with #Olake not too far in the background.
Quiver. Quiver.
And then just when I thought I could not be stunned anymore
or there could not possibly be anything else that could be done. Jake turns up
looking as fine as ever in his black turtle neck and pea jacket, as we called
them back in the day, and appeared to shoot people he should not be
shooting. I mean after all isn’t he Command
and doesn’t he know that he has been elevated to have people that do that sort
of stuff for him. Or was he just trying to show that he is not just a pretty face
but a cold and calculating murderer too so he can recruit those who never knew
they were capable of being recruited into the elusive B613 into his fold. And whomever
he recruited knows not to mess with him.
I don’t know but all I can say is hats off to Shonda Rhimes,
her writers and the Scandal team for hurling me back into my addictive state of
not being able to wait until the next episode of Scandal. How much more time
until next Thursday… 6 days, 137 hours, 8220 seconds – but hey whose counting…
Bring it on @KerryWashington, @TonyGoldwyn, @ScottKFoley, @ ShondaRhimes,
@ScandalABC. Can’t wait to see what
happens next. Next Thursday can’t come fast enough…
