This episode exceeded my expectations. It was actually quite good and like I said before, I figured that an Olitz reunited would be too much to ask right now but there's 10 episodes left in the season and The Creator is gonna have to change her methodology with them if she wants to get a renewal for Season 5. And remember when Defiance came out and we thought that Olitz was burnt toast? Of course, they ended up broken up again but they got back together and made a couple of strides forward in the wake of that fuckery and I am going to have a little faith that it'll happen in the wake of this one. On that note, here endth the liveblog and I will attach the series of Pro-Olivia yet sad tweets I put out in an effort to calm myself down.We may not have our Olitz back but we have our Fixer home and that...that makes this episode a good one for me. Have a good rest of the evening and weekend. See you guys next week!
#TGIT #Scandal 1. This time, I actually understand Liv pushing Fitz away. There's a bit of merit to this break up this time.
#TGIT #Scandal 2. She's dealing with guilt over an unnecessary and bloody war.
#TGIT #Scandal 3. She just went thru the worst trauma of her life. She is in no place to be with anyone rite now, not even the love of her life
#TGIT #Scandal 4. She's pissed that he did what he did becuz she feels like he squandered the Oval and the compromises she made 2 get him in
#TGIT #Scandal 5. Not that he ever asked her 2 but still, that anger is there. Also, she's pushing everyone out, not just Fitz.
#TGIT #Scandal 6. Liv is in survival mode. She wants 2 Fix/Handle it herself but she doesn't know how so she's lashing out.
#TGIT #Scandal 7. She's shutting down rite now. Should she have thrown the Ring? No. Am I sad that Olitz aren't 2gether? Fuck yeah I am
#TGIT #Scandal 8. Am I angry at Liv? No. I understand her reasoning this time and it actually kinda makes sense. Kinda. Not completely.
#TGIT #Scandal 9. This is another setback for my OTP but I take comfort in the following three facts and I hope y'all do too.
#TGIT #Scandal 10. Fact 1: The Ring was chucked but Fitz didn't take it with him and Liv didn't throw it out and mean it.
#TGIT #Scandal 11. Fact 2: She didn't just tell Fitz to step off, she told Ballard to go too. Both men r on equal ground with her 4 now.
#TGIT #Scandal Fact 3: We've got 10 eps to go and The Creator doesn't want 2 get cancelled or rioted on. The only way 2 do that is Olitz.
#TGIT #Scandal #FreetheFixer I may not have my OTP but my Fixer is home. She's got healing 2 do but she is alive and home. Solid episode.
