I SCREAMED
jalie89 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
I didn't expect it to be like that.
roguewave3 30th-Nov-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
I started to clean my glasses when I heard the gun shot. I jumped back and scrambled to put my glasses on. Thank god for my DVR. I had to rewind it.
starsremain 30th-Nov-2012 04:16 am (UTC)
I jumped. 10:57 and my head's to the side, eyes closing, and I'm just like, "Okay, they go in, see Olivia and Edison, fade to black."

Nope. POTUS got shot AND THEN they fade to black. Shonda....
gaga 30th-Nov-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
right? of course shonda would slap you in the face 30 seconds before the episode ends
actxappalledx 30th-Nov-2012 04:26 am (UTC)

sapphirespells 30th-Nov-2012 04:33 am (UTC)

klutzy_girl 30th-Nov-2012 04:08 am (UTC)
Poor Mellie! I hope she doesn't go into premature labor or anything and she and the baby are fine. I was expecting it, but still, holy shit at Fitz being shot!

Tonight's episode was intense!

And am I making this up for some reason, or do Mellie and Fitz have a kid(s) that we never see?

fwee_prower 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
they have two boys
klutzy_girl 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
Thanks! I thought so, but they never seem to talk about them or ever see them and it's like they're acting like this is their first baby or something.
jalie89 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
Yes, Mellie and Fitz already have 2 kids together.
executivehpfan 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
Fitz and Mellie have two kids, Karen and Jerry.

And wtf, *poor* Mellie. MELLIE WAS IN ON THIS SHIT.
sapphire908 30th-Nov-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
Poor Mellie nothing! I bet she knew it was going to happen.
fakevoices 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
OMG
gl0ry_fadesx 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
AAAAAAAHHHHHH
ragechill 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
Hope he dies tbh.
executivehpfan 30th-Nov-2012 04:13 am (UTC)
Seriously, is there any more evidence that this man is NOT supposed to be President?

--Doesn't want the job
--Can't focus on the job
--Chief of Staff/Wife/Fixer Extraordinaire constantly run things without him
--Incompetent Secret Service
--Oh, and RIGGED ELECTION

Time to go the route of Nixon, Fitz. Or JFK.
klutzy_girl 30th-Nov-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
Don't forget the affair with Olivia! The man sucks at his job.

And Olivia should be punished for her the rigged election thing.

I also just really want David and Abby to get back together and happy.

I know he's just a fictional president on a tv show, but his lack of care for the office he has and his constant abuse of power enrages me

I'm like DEES R SRS TIMES! QUIT THINKIN OF GETTIN LAID AND FIX DA ECONOMY!!!
ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
Hahaha this list is so accurate.
ragechill 30th-Nov-2012 04:26 am (UTC)
Preach!
hearthecity 30th-Nov-2012 04:36 am (UTC)
lol I love that they tell him nothing. They all treat him like a dumb kid.
roguewave3 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
OMFG! 4 TIMES! He definitely got shot in the chest.

Who do you think did it? I'm not sure it was Hollis.
ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
I feel like Hollis/Mellie is too obvious.
roguewave3 30th-Nov-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
Me too

I don't get why all a sudden she didn't want to go to the party. She might have known something but if she did she would have went to Cyrus freaking out about it. Fitz dying isn't going to help her future political career.
jalie89 30th-Nov-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
Yes, he did.

Mellie seemed to be acting really weird in the car so maybe she felt or knew something was going to happen.

While Hollis makes sense to me, it doesn't really do anything for him if Fitz is dead unless he thinks he would/could have some influence with Sally Langston, which seems like a stretch.
executivehpfan 30th-Nov-2012 04:14 am (UTC)
How the fuck does the leader of the free world get shot 4 times?

Not only can they not lie properly, his Secret Service can't even service him. Hotdamn.


I think Mellie knew what was going to happen. The scene in the car might be a red herring, but there were other clues. Like her being the one planning this whole gala, her throwaway line at the beginning about thinking Fitz was dead and how ~a girl can dream.
lovemusicbaby 1st-Dec-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
I dont think Hollis pulled the trigger himself but I definitely think he had some kind of involvement... I wonder if it'll be a person we haven't even seen yet or someone we 'know'

I wonder if its the Billy Chambers guy bc they never really said he was taken care of, I assumed that Charlie guy took care of him but I'm not sure.

ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
Yay to everyone who joined us at scandaltv, boo to everyone who didn't.

Ugh, Fitz was such a perv tonight looking at pics of Liv in bed with her boyfriend I didn't care when he got shot. NAGL pervo.
roguewave3 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
I'm bummed I forgot to come by. smh

My mom said "He has got a lot of nerves". He is such a damn creep.
ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
Always next week!
joliebelle 30th-Nov-2012 04:25 am (UTC)
I just joined...we'll try again next week :)
badcord 30th-Nov-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
ooh, I was wondering if there was somewhere other than twitter to spam my emotions every Thursday lool
beaute__exquise 30th-Nov-2012 05:25 am (UTC)
I HAVEN'T WATCHED YET

Do you know where I can find a link?
sunshinesky 30th-Nov-2012 06:53 am (UTC)
I always want to join in the conversation but I'm on the West coast :(
post_dada 30th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
I loved Mellie's surprised face
prettywitch 30th-Nov-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
This ep was so fucking boring...but the ending has promise and Kerry looked fantastic!!
ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
Yeah, I liked the little interactions between Harrison/Abby, Huck/Quinn but Olivia and senator snorefest and president creeps-a-lot were such a yawn. As was James actually.
roxas39 1st-Dec-2012 05:00 am (UTC)

burn_a_miracle 30th-Nov-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
OMFG. I looked down for a SECOND and it happened.
lyssmich 30th-Nov-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
How'd Quinn catch on, though?
hearthecity 30th-Nov-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
right? She figured it out too quickly.
wanderlost 1st-Dec-2012 06:39 pm (UTC)
This was my major problem with the episode. Out of the blue she's Inspector Gadget?
whataboutdasha 30th-Nov-2012 06:07 am (UTC)
yeah that was weird, I thought I had skipped an episode bc that shit came out of nowhere
nene718 1st-Dec-2012 06:32 am (UTC)
she's probably been slowly figuring it out since the day the trial ended
executivehpfan 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
I CALLED IT.

So yeah, that happened. Flashback sequence next week, Olivia realizes how much Fitz means to her, he survives, the two of them reconcile, yadda yadda.

BUT CAN WE FUCKING TALK ABOUT:

Fitz spying on Olivia. With pictures. Of her and Senator Puddin'.

Kissing.

In bed.

I'mma just wait right here while you Olitz fans try to justify that shit to me.
jalie89 30th-Nov-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
He's not right for that, considering he is abusing he power and being a creep in general, and that's all I'll say about that.
ms_mmelissa 30th-Nov-2012 04:24 am (UTC)
Yeah, I feel pretty much over Olitz at this point.

Actually I've been pretty much over them since Hunting Season when he screamed at her cause she was moving on when he is married and his wife is pregnant.
executivehpfan 30th-Nov-2012 04:27 am (UTC)
And that was the final point for me, really. I cannot believe the shit he pulled in that episode.

And then the next episode, his stupid line about her ~joining him on Air Force One. Bitch, fuck you.

AND NOW? Nope. Nope nope nope. I can appreciate what they had in the past but he is a petulant, possessive, immature, selfish motherfucker and I seriously would like for him not to survive.

And Tony Goldwyn? Your expression as you sorted through those photographs DID NOT. HELP. SHIT.
angelicrealism 30th-Nov-2012 08:10 am (UTC)
Sorry I ship them HARD...and I make no apologizes for it. They're not perfect but damn they are the best thing about this show. Without them, PEACE..OUT. I love this show but not without my Olitz fitz.

And I didn't see it as him stalking her persay. I think he just wanted to know that she was okay not to mention he had called off the surveillance. He probably knew what he would find but opened that folder anyway to give him more of a reality check and move on with his life. And he's trying to..

But whose showing up to HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY?
actxappalledx 30th-Nov-2012 04:30 am (UTC)
Ikr damn can people stop shipping that terrible couple already. Like WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE HOW CREEPY AND INAPPROPRIATE HE IS
bonobochick 30th-Nov-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
But he didn't. He actually didn't want the surveillance on her anymore but his SS did it anyway cause they weren't informed they should've stopped. That was stated flat out in the scene, so it wasn't where he was intentionally spying on Liv & Edison. He did end up looking at the pictures since he had them but it didn't seem like something he enjoyed seeing.

Fitz has many flaws without creating ones that aren't based on what was actually shown to the audience regarding his intentions/motivations.
pivotandsway 30th-Nov-2012 04:53 am (UTC)
lmao @ senator puddin (pops)
evett 30th-Nov-2012 04:57 am (UTC)
All I could focus on is that she doesn't close her curtains.
sunshinesky 30th-Nov-2012 07:00 am (UTC)
I'm a shipper but damn Shonda's making it hard for us. Fitz has been SO frustrating. Like, he's full on obsessed with her, it's really alarming. I'm going to hope that the stress of not doing anything and letting his wife and chief of staff run the country is getting to him and he's not normally like this and also he'll work his shit out before he crosses anymore boundaries.

Some how I think I'm going to be disappointed.
pixiesilver 30th-Nov-2012 04:11 am (UTC)
Liv and her bf looked so good tonight
gaga 30th-Nov-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
i knew someone was gonna get shot but i thought it would be liv's man, i thought "nah they wouldn't shoot the president, that's cliche"

but they WENT THERE
roguewave3 30th-Nov-2012 04:16 am (UTC)
I thought it might be James in the beginning but then I thought it might be Cyrus since James was too busy fucking up his life.
leahkatharina 30th-Nov-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
i thought after hollis stormed into cyrus' office that it would be cyrus
