Gladiators, What Color Was Your Suit?

Warning: If you haven't seen the Series Finale of Scandal...LEAVE!

The Olivia Pope Diet

Well Gladiators, you Lovers of Liberty, the show Scandal has officially ended. Many times it was enjoyable. Sometimes it was boring. But it was a ride.

Most of you know I was never #TeamFitz or #TeamJake. She could have stood in the sun in Vermont and I still would not have cared. I was Only a #TeamFixer fan. I felt like Fitz & Jake were hindrances to her job. I hated Olivia Pope gave up OPA. And yeah, a few fixer storylines showed up at the end, but the full fixer heart was missing in them. RIP Olivia the Fixer for the Civilians

I am happy that the viewers were shown humanism in Papa Pope. We never really got to see what he saw in Mama Pope and that is ok. We got to see he had tender spots around that crude, murderous, patriot heart of his. God Bless America!!!🇺🇸

RIP David Rosen Oh, you were not a B*tch. You were trusting a Dumb Butt. You trusted the one person I wanted dead.

Cyrus Beene...
I am so upset he walked away to live. Oh, the guilt in All he did will keep him hostage, but he alive & not in chains, like Jake. But that's life!!!

Well, Mellie is TV POTUS with Marcus by her side. Sally Langston will keep the Lovers of Liberty informed. Mr. & Mrs. Bernard & Quinn Gusky get to be a loving family. Abby will wrap up in David's love. And Huck can put the past behind. Eli Pope will still have Sunday dinner. All as Olivia Pope gets back to White and Live Free!!!

Shonda Rhimes always said she knew how to end Scandal. And that is what she did. Officially, It's Handled!!!

When TGIT Comes Back...

I know I have Big Bang Theory at 7:00 CST but after that I have had nothing to watch on TV on Thursday. And I am not accustomed for reading time to be on Thursday so, I can't wait for the return of TGIT on ABC (Gross that rhymed). Grey's Anatomy, Scandal & How to Get Away With Murder, all have been missed. So, let's catch up. Shall we?

Save your 'I don't watch Grey's Anatomy because... left, or died." talk. Until Meredith Grey is not on the show and the storyline is good (like it is), I'm still a fan. "Character Only" Fans leave. Now we left off with Karev proposing to Jo.

Will Jo say yes to Karev's proposal? I hope not. Jo is a mess and needs to emotionally grow up. I swear she is the same age she was abandoned at and she handles personal issues at that age. Then there's the issue with Hunt & Riggs. Riggs is Hunt's brother-in-law, maybe? If so, where is Hunt's sister? And of course, why is he sooo angry with Riggs? I will say that punch was intense. It truly said "So, you didn't believe fat ain't greasy. Well, I had to show you." Will Avery & Kepner get back together? I am tired of Japril's (Jackson & April) crap. Why have sex and both of you know that you are broken?  But we are left with Jackson going to tell Kepner something. If he asks for a divorce, I will cry. I ship Jabril. And we have already seen on the commercials that Meredith is going to be attacked. Does this means Amelia (who better not drink that drink she ordered) has to move back in to help Maggie with the kids? I have a weird opinion about Amelia. I like her but I want her to understand that as the Grey sister-in-law she doesn't have full rights to "Meredith" information.

Oh other than the intern Maggie Pierce is seeing, these interns bore me.

I don't care if she takes off the white hat. The Gladiators better be back. I am tired of Team Fitz & Team Jake stories.

I need Olivia to get back to OPA work. That is what I loved about older seasons of Scandal, Olivia Pope was still taking care of her work. Clearly, she is bad in the love life department. But why must her job suffer? I know this show is an exaggeration of a distracted person but come on. I totally understand her parents' underlying frustrations with her.

I bet this whole Fall season of Season  5,
He has been yelling this from the grave.

I just wish Papa Pope, Mama Pope, OPA, Abby, or somebody would tell Olivia Pope to FOCUS on her work.  Olivia Pope loves the shadows, I don't know why she experimented with being in the public as the girlfriend of Fitz the President, anyway. OPA better be back and if an abortion is what brings it back, so be it.

Confession may be good for the soul but it can still get you shot. Isn't that right Annalise Keating.

Oh but she knew to pull the "Christophe" card on Mr. Wes. Even shot and might be leaving this world, she knows how slip in a jab on those students. Oh her saying "Christophe" was not the only "What the Heck' jab she poked with. When she told Asher that the other 4 were responsible for the death of her husband, Sam, I flipped.

All because they said wouldn't help out with the body of Emily Sinclair after Asher ran her over. I'm so glad Asher is caught up on events. His cluelessness was annoying me. Now he is on an even playing field and the Keating 5 can be whole. Now as for as the burning question, Who is Christophe? I have a weird feeling he's a link to Annalise's female lover, Eve. I have a feeling she was the one who is responsible for why Wes/Christophe was an orphan.

I have a feeling Annalise may have helped Eve do some tidying up of her problem & she has some guilt on her. But we will find out soon enough. Plus, I get to see that fine, fine Nate Lahey. We will also get to see the Keating 5 work as a whole for a change. Oh and that little pesky issue of Catherine and why she is involved in the murder of her adoptive parents. She's not dead so, we can get some kind of answer. Well, after they give us a little run around.

So Thursday, my TV will be on ABC, TGIT ready. If you are new to the blog, I am one of those live tweeters. You can find me on Twitter, under the same name giving my thoughts as the show runs. I'll go back to watching Big Bang Theory on Friday nights on ONDemand. Alright, here to Thursday night!!!

Oh Shondaland and Those Crazy Season Finale Rides

Well, last night was the season finales of Grey's Anatomy & Scandal for the 2014 -2015 TV Season. Both shored up some open holes. Grey's Anatomy was good at it. Scandal was not as good for me.

Let's start with Scandal. I have to admit this season has be so-so for me. After Olivia was freed and Andrew was given a stroke, I was mostly underwhelmed. And that was even when I was given so many episodes of Olivia the Crisis Management Fixer(I am Not a Fitz or Jake fan). The Controversial Black teen shooting was great. I sobbed.

But like the episode when Marla Gibbs came looking for her friend who was Olivia's neighbor. The boring reveal that those little old ladies were lovers was not needed. Old people can be friends and seriously care about their well being. Whenever my grandmother makes her transition, all her little Mission sisters & Garden Club buddies will be there crying almost as hard as us. Go to a funeral of an old person, there are swarms of their buddies there boo-hooing, talking to long and to much and trying to run stuff. And I doubt they were sexing it up with each other. So I should've known the season finale would let me down some.
Okay so we found out what or rather who is Foxtail. It was Mellie and Eli/Rowan Pope finally got an audience with her. He posed as a donor for her Senate campaign and she then finds out he was there to blackmail her so he could get his hands on a list. The list provided was the list of the Grand Jury in the case against B-613. The next thing you know all 16 jurors & the stenographer are killed. Mellie put 2 & 2 together and went to Cyrus and he handled it.

Rosen stepped away from the case & Olivia went to work taking down command aka her father Eli/Rowan. She tried with the advice of her mother but ended allowing her father to cover his bases and "kills off" Rowan.

Mama Pope is let out her confinement as a result also. Then the idea about following the money finally hit Olivia (She only watched The Wire, once so she didn't know) and Eli is arrested for money laundering.

Yes, I'm still butt hurt about that

Now over at the Mellie/Fitz camp, Mellie becomes Junior Senator.

As she is giving her speech Liz (who in my opinion is still pissed odd about Andrew) tells Fitz everything. Fitz then cleans house. He tells Mellie to leave and fires Cyrus. Jake also decided to "breakup" with Olivia freeing her to be with Fitz. The last scene was of Fitz & Olivia standing on the balcony of White House basking in the moonlight.

Next season will probably not reveal the dream I think it should but as long as Olivia keeps Gladiating like she should and Mama Pope does Not run to much havoc, I'll be okay

Speaking of being okay, before I talk about Grey's Anatomy. Let me warn all you McDreamy (and Olake, Jolivia, & Team Jake) fans, this is not the place to bash Shonda Rhimes. Please hop off the Shondaland ship and let the true fans have more legroom. I am not a characters only fan. As long as the storyline is good... Only person that must be on Grey's Anatomy is Not Named, Derrick Shepherd.

I'll tell anybody I am not a fan of Richard Webber & Catherine Avery together. It's like Webber is cheating on Adele even though she is dead. But they had a nice wedding in the end. The negotiations scene was priceless. It was like their version of a prenuptial agreement. It was touch and go for a minute but thanks to Meredith Grey they should be just fine. I have to say through sorrow Meredith Grey is a Hero.

She brought the newborn infant of a man stuck in a car to him so he can see he had to survive to see his son. She let her sister-in-law, Amelia listen to the last phone call she received from her now deceased husband, Derek Shepherd.

Then she made her sister, Maggie tell her what was going with her. When Maggie told her that her parents were divorcing she let her cry for a moment and then told Mags & Amelia it was time to dance it out.

All while hosting a wedding reception.

Now can Grey help Maggie's new step brother, Jackson and his wife, April Kepner? I don't know who is wrong. oth are right, actually. Kepner needs to heal her way, internationally. Jackson loves her enough to let her go, figuratively & literally. He also loves himself enough to know he's hurting & not healing when she is gone. I am a Japril fan. I want them together. And hopefully next season, Season 12, we'll get to say Chief Miranda Bailey.

I love that she has finally found a happy medium between love & career.I was not feeling weepy Bailey a few seasons back. One of the two characters (Maggie) that I see myself in and she was acting crazy (I hear Football Nerd in my head & heart say "You act like that Bailey too". To which I am telling him the hush LoL). I can't wait to see who is Bailey's competition is on her road to Chief.

Speaking of Football Nerd, I made it through a whole season of Grey's Anatomy without him physically here on this Earth. He was my person when in came to the show. I discuss the show with other friends (that I truly love & appreciate. And better know it.) and I live tweet but talking to him about it was different. And yes, I have major "cry face" typing this by like Meredith, I will survive.

Alright, I will see you guy TV season 2015-2016 in Shondaland, if the Lord says the same. Yep, I'm still riding Grey's Anatomy, Scandal & How to Get Away With Murder until the wheels fall off or the storylines go dumb. So, see you next season!!!

Shondaland Winter Finale Recap (Yes and More Observations, Theories & Wishful Thinkful)

I finally left that place Thursday with a shocked & confused looked on my face. I was perplexed. Not only did Shonda Rhimes debunked All my Theories, she also gave me more to think about.

Grey's Anatomy

First I want to give Shonda Rhimes a Great BIG Thank You for the breakup of Callie & Arizona.

I hated them together. I don't like Arizona. She is a good pediatric surgeon but spoiled & selfish person. Callie can do so much better. I Do Not want them back together. Please Keep Them Divorced!!!

Arizona will be busy anyway. She has to learn from the great Dr. Herman before she dies.
Or will she??? Amelia Shepherd feel likes she could turn the illness around for her. Will she accept the offer especially since Arizona snuck and got her personal records to give or Amelia.

Richard & Maggie are finally starting to heal. Got a little shaky there for a moment. After she told him off on the Shepherd's porch,

I just knew it was going to be 2015 before she would come around. But I told you Meredith would be the common thread to mend all of this. I loved when Maggie told Meredith she was excited about dinner at her house because as a single person she was lonely. I really loved when Meredith took her to the Grey home and let her know that she was welcomed to use that as a loneliness refuge. 

Well Ellis Grey's daughters are playing nicely. Now can we get her oldest girl's marriage out of limbo when we come back. I knew he going to take the job. Meredith kept on pushing him.
I predict they will drag this out until the finale. And if the rumors about Patrick Dempsey leaving the show, a Divorce decree will be sent to Meredith.

The baby of April & Jackson is having bone problem in the womb. And who knows this, Stephanie Edwards, Jackson's ex.

I will predict there will be drama. The words jealous and bitter will thrown Edwards way. Jackson & April will fight about what plan of action should be done about the fate of Baby Japril. Catherine Jackson & Karen Kepner will join forces and become Super Grandmas to keep some sanity to these awaiting parents. I know that is frightening

Scandal

Ok I was wrong about a Mellie-Olivia showdown. But that Mellie-Elizabeth showdown was the best.

I can't wait for the a Mellie-Andrew showdown. Mellie is going spit fire upon this man's head. Mellie is Back!!!

Okay Olivia Pope has been Kidnapped. The Fixer has been stolen. First episode back, All hands will on be deck. That will include Papa Rowan/Eli Pope.

Oh Fitz & Jake will need his help. But when they find out Papa Pope's help comes at a price or he is actually working with Andrew & Elizabeth to set the "Fixer-Napping" up, they better not be shocked. If they are I will them that "Shut all That Crying Up" look of Maya Pope.

Oh and Huck's wife will come around and allow him slowly back in. Let's just hope it's not too late to save the mental stability of little Javi. He can't unsee his daddy kill that man and that can mess a kid up.

How to Get Away With Murder

Okay yes my theory was debunked. 

Now for my theory. Sam Keating's murder may have been an accident. He goes to confront Rebecca and it got violent and he's dead. She called Wes and the other students and they "help" her. Annalise Keating does Not know her husband is dead, right now. The point of the show is "How we, Keating's client & students got away with the murder & cover up of her husband". This will be a big cat & mouse game with one question, Will Annalise Keating ever find out?

All Sam had to do was die the first time when he fell chasing Rebecca and the others. The accident part would not have been so off. As for Annalise not know well she's like Papa Pope on Scandal, they just have to know everything. I could Not with TV when they showed her at that desk when Wes apologized to Sam's lifeless body.

I can't wait to see the events that she saw through her eyes. 

How does I feel about Sam being the murderer? I'm good with that. It gives him another bargaining chip to use with Keating. I am just happy it was not Fine. Fine. Nate.

That character is already bitter & scornful because he lost his job (Because of Bonnie, not Annalise and I wish that would be told to him). I didn't want my Eye Candy to be a killer also. My heart couldn't handle it.

Now my heart can handle that Nate, Annalise, & Bonnie are in on the alibis. When Annalise fired Bonnie, I think that was a rouse. Annalise may have been planning to kill Sam herself and Bonnie was in on the plan. The plan went awry when 4 of the Keating 5 and Rebecca got in the way. Plans had to change when she saw him dead. Wes filled her in on the details. That phone call to Bonnie was so Annalise could catch her up to speed on the details.
Nate is in on the 2nd albi after Sam was dead. Why??? Sam is dead & out the way. I'll keep you secret as long as you have sex with me. Also if Nate gets his job back, don't be surprised. Also don't be surprised when 4 of the Keating 5 (maybe all 5 if Bonnie who slept with Asher sways Annalise) get automatic A's in the class. 

Laurel will tell Frank during pillow talk. Sam will be at a crossboard.

The Season Finale we will find out who actually killed  Lila Standgard.

So that's that!!! I might be back after the first shows of the Spring. I have feeling Scandal will move quick with getting Olivia Pope back. She is the linchpin. 

So would do you think about what is going on in Shondaland so far? Leave your comments in the inbox.

Oh Yeah, can we All sing "Vagina"!!! LOL That was so Funny!!!
I ♥♥♥ Drunk Meredith & Callie!!!

Shondaland Observations, Theories, & Wishful Thinking (Early Guess)

Spoiler Alert!

On Facebook I said:
Okay my fellow Shondaland fans, I have a feeling tonight's ‪#‎TGIT‬ might give me a clear theory on ‪#‎HowToGetAwayWithMurder‬ & more wishful thinking for ‪#‎GreysAnatomy‬ & ‪#‎Scandal‬ ‪#‎Gladiators‬. So as I say on Twitter,‪#‎ExpectABlog‬

Well here is said blog. I'm going to go in order of latest to earliest show order. So, I will start with "How to Get Away with Murder".

I have one minor observation well actually funny ha ha observation. No, it is not about Annalise Keating's wig.

Even Viola Davis has no good clue why she is wear that thing.
The nape of it is... look just get Annalise some better looking hair. How did she get that fine, fine, Nate with that hair? No, my funny observation ages me. Is it me or does

Alfred Enoch resemble C. Thomas Howell in the movie "Soul Man".
I laugh every week at that. Spoiler alert but Mark & Sarah (who happen to be in law school) makeup at the end.Wes Gibbons could be their child. An appearance by them as his parent, could happen. Alright, that's the wishful thinking. Now for my theory. Sam Keating's murder may have been an accident. He goes to confront Rebecca and it got violent and he's dead. She called Wes and the other students and they "help" her. Annalise Keating does Not know her husband is dead, right now. The point of the show is "How we, Keating's client & students got away with the murder & cover up of her husband". This will be a big cat & mouse game with one question, Will Annalise Keating ever find out?

Okay I'll admit this "Fixer Only Fan" has been enjoying Olitz free episodes to think about many possible Scandal theories. I only have one. There may be a Mellie vs Olivia showdown. I'm not talking about Mellie's Folders of Men tactics. Mellie is finally going to fight for her husband. And if this

Mellie with fleece wear and chicken in tow shows up, my money is on her.

Still don't feel sorry for Cyrus Beene and his hair plugs he got that happens to look like a dead muskrat. He can grieve screw that prostitute all he wants. His now lonely butt should not have had James, his husband killed. 

I'm full of wishful think when it comes to this show. Harrison may Not be dead, just shot. Quinn brought the information. They had a Graveside burial. Lord know who was in the casket. Oh and Eli Pope is involved. He could've hid him off like he did Maya. Also, Harrison still could be Olivia's brother. At the funeral it came out that Harrison was reared in a group home. The actual reason why Eli put him away (one way or the other), He could be the love child Maya and Dominic. Not because Harrison put 2+2 together.

 Again wishful thinking, Isiah Washington came back for a moment, if Columbus Short gets his head and issues straight, he could too. 

Where is Sally Langston? I know she lost the election but Fitz needed to make her Secretary of State. I know over in her Ellis Grey world, she has daughter coming out the woodwork but she needs to be on Scandal. She worked well as the conservative in the White House. I miss "Yum, Yum, Piggy Piggy".

Speaking of Ellis Grey, Maggie Pierce is her daughter. Her reaction to Weber finally admitting he was her dad, told me so. If she didn't act like Meredith, I don't who did.

Sad to say but Meredith will be the healer in the broken family drama. That's my theory. Oh and who is buying this Ellis grey didn't know she was pregnant story. Umm, why were she & young Meredith in Boston? My theory is she and possibly Adele, Weber's wife knew she was pregnant. Ellis went to Boston to have the baby and give it up for adoption quietly so that her husband Thatcher (who is Cyrus Beene on Scandal) wouldn't find out. Also not to cause any more drama in the Weber household. Thatcher may have been told by Ellis or Adele before their deaths both from Alzheimer's disease.

Another theory is Karev may have conceded the board position to the Bailey. Oh and I see him snidely admitting that to her when he can't get something done from her. 

If have a feeling Derrick will go test the waters in DC anyway because of this upcoming fight between Meredith and he. Could we get a Grey's Anatomy/Scandal crossover show via Derrick Shepherd?

Yeah, its wishful think but I bet I gave you something to think about. 

That all this is, my thoughts so far on the current seasons of TGIT. I'll be back sometime around the holidays during the winter hiatus. Let's see if my change or was I on to something.
