Scandal review – 3×12: ‘We Do Not Touch The First Ladies’

March 7, 2014 by couchpotato

In “We Do Not Touch The First Ladies,” Mellie (Bellamy Young) does, in fact, get touched. So that’s fun. But for the love of God, can we please ALL stop saying Publius?

Scandal review – 3×08: ‘Vermont Is For Lovers, Too’

November 22, 2013 by couchpotato

For an episode with Cyrus making a pivotal decision, Olitz sex, and someone eating their own wrists (!), Vermont is for Lovers, Too feels a bit like filler.  Luckily, it sets up for a promising mid-season finale.

Scandal review – 3×04: ‘Say Hello To My Little Friend’

October 25, 2013 by couchpotato

Mind = blown. I don’t even know where to begin, but let’s start with the big stuff: Fitz knows Eli/Rowan/Command (Joe Morton)! The man that Huck (Guillermo Diaz) killed last week was a pilot that flew the Operation Remington mission…but Fitz was the pilot on record for that flight. What happened?

Scandal review – 3×01: ‘It’s Handled’

October 4, 2013 by couchpotato

Courtesy of ABC

“Go big or go home!” That must be the mantra of the Scandal writers because the show has resumed with a bang. After an excruciating summer waiting to see what befalls Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), it’s time to see how she handles being at the center of the maelstrom.
