Ok, ToukisSmith, I will give you the hair thing. It does look rather "wiggy." I would love it if she could wear her natural hair, which she barely did even on the press tour.

Actually, the exterior campus scenes were most definitely filmed at my alma mater, The University of Southern California. Fight On! (The Scandal opener also featured the Rose garden by Exposition Park so Angelenos got a nice look an L.A. playing Places That Are Definitely Not L.A. Mixed review from me. Davis is excellent, and whoever's dressing her is doing a great job, but a pretty thoroughly unlikeable group of students. Despite all the comments about it being too dark I honestly didn't have problem following the night scenes. Also I no more expect this to be a realistic take on the legal profession than 'Nashville' is a realistic take on the music industry.

Pretty sure it was always intended as much as a soap as a show about the music industry, actually. I was actually amazed at how flat the season opener was. Didn't feel it was well paced at all. (I did notice Callie Khouri directed...wonder if maybe it was her 1st time, which would explain a lot) SO sick of Maddie's whining, and I WAS teenage girl once! The road trip was far too 'cute,' and bless his heart, the actor playing Avery can't do "drunk" very well. I'll keep watching, but hope it picks up a bit.
