I might have stated it in this thread before, but I hate the Gladiators, and absolute detest Huck and his twitches. Quinn is useless/pointless/annoying and irrelevant. Abby is okay when she's with the D.A. and/or working for/with Olivia. And I can't even remember the black guy's name, so that should tell you how I feel about him.

Olivia has become too whiny and taciturn. Her (alleged) attraction to Scott Foley's toothless, white-bread character is baffling. Her popcorn/wine therapy isn't quirky anymore, it's a cop-out. Olivia used to be strong, fierce, and a take charge force to be reckoned with. Now she's a crybaby. Way to defang your heroine, Shonda.

I love/love-to-hate all the White House peeps. I love Cyrus and his husband. I love Mellie's scheming and bon mots. I love David the D.A. They're the only things that are keeping me tuned in.

I think the exact opposite of this, but had to comment because you were so specific! Love it. (Black guy is Harrison.)

Every time Quinn kissed that psycho spy guy I wanted to barf. I really hate her character and storyline. She is dumb, dumb, dumb.

Hee! I swear, I watched the show the other night, and I'm pretty sure someone called his name, but I still didn't know his name until I read your post. I think Columbus Short is kind of a turd in real life, so maybe some of that is creeping into the way I feel about him on the show. However, he is the least developed member of Pope & Associates, so I don't feel that we've been shown enough to be invested in him. IF you want believable loyalty and devotion to Liv, there's Abby. With the subplot of Cyrus bringing back that one guy he fears, maybe we'll get more back story on Harrison this season.

Quinn is so effing stupid it hurts my head. I can't even feel remotely sorry for her. I want her shipped off to the hole in the floor pronto.

Ditto. There was a time and place where I did feel sorry for her in season 1 and in the beginning of two because she was so royal screwed over by people she knew nothing about. But now? She's so fully aware and walks right into the bullshit.

Lie in that bed, Quinn. LIE.IN.IT.

[bklynred]

Quinn is, indeed, a dunce. When Huck tells you to do something--or not to do something--you listen. You listen to the wetworks expert from a secret cell the president can't control. Even I know that.

I feel like I read about a Harrison backstory coming up, but I forget where. I only truly trust the redhead (not b/c of my fetish, I mean admiration!) and Rosen. And Finch, who got written off b/c I think Cusick may be a dick to work with.

[mementomori]

Hope Quinn gets killed off. She's astonishingly dim and annoying. Could do with a few less characters right now (cute boring Jake, worn out his welcome Rowan, brain trust Quinn, flannel-addict Huck) in favor of developing Harrison, the awesome veep, and more Josh Malina. Khandi Alexander can stay as long as she likes. She is always welcome!

[twodollars]

I don't know I kind of feel for Quinn. None of the gladiators tell her anything and Huck decided to just be an asshole and freeze her out. She is pretty much dependent on them for a job because they destroyed her real life and then they treat her like shit. I hate that they are making her a traitor though as an excuse for why they've treated Quinn as an outcast this whole show. Quinn is pretty much the Alex of this show that gets shit on all the time. I hate that about Rhimes's shows.

And Mellie is the best character on the show hands down. And with every episode I am more convinced that no one should be that invested in electing or re-electing Fitz as President. The guy is dim, selfish and weak. He's basically an attractive W with the sleazy parts of Clinton's character thrown in. Yuck. Worst president ever. If he just let Mellie run the country for him, his approval ratings would be sky high. That is one smart, conniving woman.

I have a question. Every time we've seen VP Langston's husband being handsy and inapproriate, it's been with women. Since when does he bat for the other team? That seemed to come out of nowhere.

[twodollars]

Yeah, that seemed bizarre and out of nowhere.

[Spinderella]

I wasn't expecting that, either. Maybe it was just a rouse of some sort?

Let him come across as handsy and too friendly with the ladies as if he's just a really woman-lovin' kind of guy, but it was just a little overkill for what he's really into? Blah.

Seems like this show has a lot of marriages (with kids!) of convenience in every corner. Like who would have though that Cyrus was married before with a wife? Was that revealed before? Because I don't recall it.
