Have you ever made a post that never got to exactly where you wanted it, but couldn't bring yourself to delete it? I wrote this post before the last season of Scandal aired, and I honestly still feel the same way. So although it maybe a little late, here are my thoughts on Olivia Pope and President Fitzgerald.
I love almost everything about Scandal. The unpredictable story line, the characters, the clothes and more. But if the there is one thing that I hate about this show that usually gets me side eyed by fellow gladiators is the Fitz and Liv relationship. I thought that having their relationship was just going to be a story builder to the plot that would help Liv's character evolve, but didn't see it as being Liv's biggest pitfall. The fact that she's sprung on the president is her Achilles heel. A powerful, beautiful, attorney running things in DC but just can't seem to tear herself away from Fitz. And I don't know why. He's not good looking (even though Mr.Pres has abs for days), he doesn't treat her or anyone in his family right, and some of the love scenes between the two look more like rape than raging desire.
