Season 3: Episode 9

So, after a small hiatus we are back with Quinn duck tapped by Huck in an effort to teach her a lesson. I was wondering where this was going to go considering that Katie Lowes is among the elite cast members. So, we all know that she wasn't going to die but she would have to suffer some kind of pain for her stupidity.

When Huck decided to pull her teeth as punishment, I immediately thought of the show Alias and the premiere episode when Jennifer Garner's character found herself in a pickle and something similar happened to her.

Anyways, I was expecting Huck to be somewhere in the shadows when Charlie came through. I knew there had to be something more about to go down because Huck wouldn't have just left her there binded.

Moving on, the least surprising part of this episode was finding out that Mama Pope was the culprit. I don't get why was there no questioning of how she was able to escape. I understand that it's a shock to them that she's alive, especially Olivia, but to just go hardcore on protecting this woman without finding out more was odd to me.

Oh Cyrus...

:laugh: James and his double entendre's were hilarious. I was glad that he had his moment in verbally destroying Cyrus, but alas it was only just a moment. Cyrus telling him that he wouldn't bust a grape if he worked at Welch's was too much. James did try to hold on to that moxie by packing his bag but all it took was an 'I'm sorry.' It's like come on James, listen to some Tay or something.



The confrontation between Jake and Fitz was okay. However, we get it, they both want to be Olivia's hero. Still not sure how Jake became a gladiator but okie doke.

The biggest shocker is V.P. Sally Langston killing her husband, Daniel Douglas. I was not expecting that twist, mainly because while Sally was obviously trying to mask her hurt after Cyrus dropped the bombshell on her, she did win that exchange.

Of course thinking back to all that occurred within the episode, Sally was in a position where I can understand (not excuse) her snapping. To run for the main office, she had to kick her morals to the side, she is running up against a man who has been her boss, and she had a husband that was overt with his attention to others. On top of that, she ended up finding out that said husband did more than flirt and actually cheated and was living on the down low, something that totally clashed with her beliefs. :smh:

This episode was kind of all over the place, but still enjoyable. I look forward to part two of the winter finale. :cool:

Couldn't sleep so I figured I'd just henna tonight.....catching up on the shows I missed this week.

Scandal was ridiculous :wow:


-Lawwwwddd I want nothing more but for Quinn to die. When it showed Huck had her tied up I prayed it wasn't a dream or a wish or a thought. I just needed it to be real dammit :to: I hate her so much. I hope Poppa Pope finishes her off before she destroys anything else. Toxic heffa.

-Am I the only one who died when he started saying YOLO? I don't know why that was funny.

-Felt a sliver of sadness for Cyrus but he's disgusting so that didn't last long. Mellie told him not to play around with his marriage :ufdup:
James needs to pack up that little brown baby and get gone.
-:skip: I honestly didn't see the whole momma Pope being a terrorist thing coming until the very last possible moment. I'm ashamed :disappointed:
-:camby: Bye Sally girl. Have fun in prison. Record your episode of Snapped and don't come back.


ETA: I'm starting to warm up to Abby. Didn't really care for her all that much but :leon: she's not too bad, I suppose. She'll probably be getting on my nerves next week but owell.

American Horror Story is next :blessed:

ABC Reduces ‘Scandal’ Order To 18 Episodes

There will be less Scandal on ABC‘s schedule this season than originally planned. The network has reduced the order for the hot Shonda Rhimes drama from 22 to 18 episodes. The network wouldn’t give a reason for the cutback but, of course, it is not because ABC doesn’t want a full season of Scandal — it would gladly take 40 episodes a season from its new flagship drama series if it could. But Scandal star Kerry Washington is pregnant, and it’s getting hard to hide the pregnancy in loose-fitting clothes for the normally super stylish and elegant Olivia Pope — and it’s hard to reduce Washington’s workload as Pope is the show and in most scenes.

The episode reduction would probably be an unexpected but welcome relief for Scandal‘s writers as it is extremely hard to sustain a dense serialized drama like Scandal for a 22-episode season. (The show did seven episodes in Season 1 and 22 in Season 2.) Scandal cannot be hotter — season-to-date, the series is up 57% in adults 18-49 (4.4) and 50% in total viewers (12.6 million) vs. last year. It is the fastest-growing returning series this season and in the so-important C3 ratings that determine ad revenues, Scandal just moved ahead of NBC’s breakout The Blacklist (3.58 rating vs. 3.55). Scandal also has been regularly building on its Grey’s Anatomy lead-in, by a best-ever 29% last night. A pregnancy of a series’ leading lady has led to shortening a season before, most recently with HBO’s True Blood and Anna Paquin.

Seriously though, it's for the best imo. I would not have wanted Kerry's pregnancy written into the story.
