S07.E14: The List


Recommended Posts

Wow. This episode gave me something I didn't think was possible with Scandal anymore- genuine enjoyment in the episode. I liked the blend of political intrigue and scandal investigation. It almost felt like a pleasurable throwback to seasons of yore. Cyrus is quite diabolical with his plan. It's like he has thought of everything at the moment. I still can't see how this will end in any way other than Cyrus's death, but at least for this episode, I'm interested to see where it goes.

I was disappointed in the "back pain" story too, and was hoping for a bigger payoff than yoga poses.  

I thought it was relatable, oddly enough. I’ve also tweaked my back doing yoga and it’s super embarrassing to admit. 

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this episode. I hate Liv and Fitz as a couple, but enjoy them as colleagues and friends.

I wasn’t a fan of their conversation about whether he was “inappropriate”. This is a man who had no qualms showing up at her house at all hours with secret service when she asked him not to. He moved her into the White House without consulting her.  Fitz has issues with the word “no”.  

I wish they hadn’t included that scene, or at least had Liv call out some of Fitzs predatory behavior.    It would have been nice to see Fitz realize that he was part of the problem; for that to be a bigger catalyst for him to work to make things better on the hill. 

Mellies take down of Jake was a thing of beauty, and I say that as someone who usually likes Jake. I’m glad Mellie saw through his bullshit and dragged him.

That could have been a final season redemption storyline in itself. Fitz asks each of the women he knows if she will tell him how she has been preyed upon. We've seen many of the stories but we'd hear them in a different context: the light of each character's awareness.

That might have gone a long way to redeem a lot. Even the legacy of a show about a black woman in a company town who "handles" powerful white guys' "misconduct" better than Harvey Weinstein's gladiators enablers ever did, and looks better doing it.
