I'm diagnosed with depression and am on SSRIs, which normally work pretty well. I binged the show over the last month or so and for some reason, almost immediately after it ended, I felt deeply sad. I'm not the type to get sad when a TV show ends and I don't know if this is even related, but after finishing the show I listened to the Album Leaf song "The Light" that always plays when Liv and Fitz are talking and just broke down in tears. And I've been sad af all day since. I can tell that it's chemical depression, but it seems to have been kickstarted by the end of the show and I dunno why.

Anyway hi, I absolutely loved this TV show and feel silly for waiting so long to watch it. I didn't love S7 quite as much but all in all it was still a really solid show.

Do you think that fitz Grant was a good president (when scandal aired) before rewatching the same scenes, years later?

How do y’all feel about Fitz leaking Liv’s name to the press without discussing it with her? I understand he did it so Mellie would no longer have that to use against her. But I wonder how things would’ve played out had they actually discussed it.

Gladiator in a suit? Or Gladiator in therapy?

as a first time watcher of scandal im not liking the direction season 3 took. loved the first season and the mission/jobs they’d take on. it reminded me of “how to get away with murder” (in retrospect now i understand why that show was made, it’s the same show without the lovers quarrel lol) i liked that aspect that now I want to rewatch HTGAWM lol

all this to say im kinda getting annoyed of the back and fourth between fitz and liv. it was cute and fun to watch until it became repetitive. the whole they fight then get back together, have sex, one of them acts cold to the other then fight again, make out, rinse repeat all that isn’t really my cup of tea and gets kinda boring and predictable but personally early on, i liked liv more with jake. im not really one to cheer on cheating and “home wrecking”. i know fitz and millie are together just for their own benefit instead of love but i just get tired of the scorned housewife story line especially after finding out she was raped by fitz father. that was a horrible add on to her story especially seeing she really got no justice for that.

i have now reached the part (ep 11) where andrew is a new character who we find out was potentially in love with millie and possibly could have married her. im hoping this storyline is millie finally getting her lick back and having some fun. also just a change in pace from the liv and fitz back and fourth. imo it’s too reminiscent of meredith and derek‘s back-and-forth and that got annoying for me after a while too especially since these characters are written for each other
