I just can't buy Scott Foley as an elite-level super spy agent. Same goes with the guy from Father of the Bride playing another supposed badass spy. There is some whacked out casting on this show.

We really, really need some Rhonda back story.
Fox's sub-website The Lyon's Den has an "interview" with Andre and Rhonda. She heads a clothing line that has collaborated with Empire Records for certain things. It also hints that she comes from a lower class Southern background who has fought very hard to get where she is today.

Phenomenal. I hope Fox is ready to fork over the big bucks to Taraji and Terrence when their contract renewals come up!
I wonder how many episodes Fox wants for Season 2? Taraji has said in interviews that she likes doing 12-13 episode seasons as it gives her time off to do other roles. With the rise of popular cable shows, I've gotten used to waiting long periods of time between seasons (oh Game of Thrones, it's like a drought in the desert waiting for you to come back!) but I wonder if Fox will be tempted to go for a full 22 episode season. Back in the 90s, Melrose Place would have seasons of up to 34(!) episodes.

I thought Lucious said "thought" as well. I had to look up what "thot" meant when the Twitter was talking about it. Now get off my lawn.

The green screen effects in that rooftop scene were so horribly distracting. I know the show doesn't have a Game of Thrones level budget, but don't try if it ends up looking like crap. They should have just filmed that in Harvey's condo or some other set.
The rest of the episode was so been there, done that. I swear I've seen these same plotlines 20 times on this show already.

Taraji has a one-line cameo as herself in Chris Rock's recent movie Top Five. Awesome movie, btw.

I was intrigued by Cookie and Lucious' discussion re: The Nation of Islam and the apparently contentious relationship he had with them. Even Cookie seemed wary of them. I know little of the NOI so can anyone elaborate on this? Is this an issue in the hip hop community or the AA community in general? This is not the kind of things that are brought up on Days of Our Lives or Revenge!

I loved the episode but, mostly, I just want to know how the City of New York allowed the show to portray their deputy mayor as easily manipulated by sexual favors. Like, there were NYC logos on boxes in the office as Andre had the woman bent over the desk. Who signed off on that?
The show Boss portayed the mayor of Chicago and his staff as highly corrupt and ruthless so a NYC deputy mayor trading secrets for some hanky panky is par for the course.

How the hell?! Those scenes majorly drove the plots and added the drama.
The original episodes air with limited commercial interruption. I guess the repeats air with the standard amount of commercials, so some scenes have to be cut.

I want an Entertainment Weekly cover featuring Taraji, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Viola Davis entitled "The New Faces of TV" or something like that. Make it happen EW!

This is the weirdest coupling on TV, other than Jaime and Cersei Lannister of course. I love it!

My life will be complete if they show a scene of Cookie getting hooked on watching Orange is the New Black.

"And God, please do not withhold your blessings, even from hoes that hire skanks to spy on me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen. Hallelujah!"
One guess as to who said this.

I hope they use the clip of Cookie saying Grace at the Emmys later this year when Taraji is nominated for Best Actress!

Anyone know how many episodes Season 1 is supposed to have?
-
Entertainment Weekly refers to her as the EWW (Evil White Wife) in their recaps. I definitely think Rhonda is definitely a dangerous power player and one to watch. No one outside of her husband seems to know how ambitious she is, and she definitely carries Andre's balls in a little purse.
On top of that, she's very efficient. She may be in rollers and dressed in expensive, difficult to clean clothes, but that does not stop her from pleasuring her man. A drawer of bibs! You might even call her "brilliant".

"Shut up Dora!"

Rhonda putting on the bib to give Andre a bj was awesome. Did you notice their maid was right there too?
Cookie was amazing as always. Porsche was hilarious and Anika is her nemesis. I love that the cop's name is Agent Carter!

Those weaves, those nails, those CLOTHES! Cookie is awesome. Taraji P. Henson just tore it up. Loved her beating her son with the broom when he called her a bitch. Cookie don't play!

The tens of thousands of US Civil War re-creators don't seem to agree with you.
I would refuse to re-enact a battle on the exact battlefield with an actual combatant from that battle standing right there to win money for a game show. That would be the height of bad taste and a huge slap in the face of the veteran, who no doubt lost many of his friends on those very sands.

Rick Hoffman is just too goddamn good for this show. Those last 10 minutes were riveting.
Jessica just got Litt up!

That was an amazing(!) episode. I was crying when they visited the cemetery and then cried harder when they met the veteran at Juno Beach. I can't even imagine what that brave man felt standing on that very same sand where he and his fellow soldiers fought so long ago. Heck, it's strongly encouraged me to make a visit to Normandy sometime soon.
President Fitzgerald Grant: Smirker in Chief
in Scandal [V]
Why is Tony Goldwyn as Fitz always giving other people really dirty looks all the time? It's like his go-to expression (and is seriously unattractive when his face gets all scrunched and creased up) and Shonda or whoever needs to tell him to lay off.
