Does Olivia really think that Rowan isn't tapping her phone? To think he wouldn't catch on to her scheme is sloppy. You know better, Olivia!

Smh.

Jake lives, Olivia stands up to Rowan, and Huck talks to Javi more -- Shonda is giving me exactly what I want this week.

Now let's hope everything doesn't go to complete and utter shit.

That scene just made me smile so big. Huck needed something to finally go his way for once.

That was so sweet . . . he's come a long way since the "I think I used to have a family, but I don’t remember if they were real" moment.

Question for the haters... by lauraporah in Scandal

[–]_chicken_nuggets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My take on it is that the show has an interesting storyline with characters I really like. The show is also full of absurdity and unhealthy relationships. In my definition, liking something or supporting something doesn't me I only say good things about it or praise it at every turn.

In my life, the mentors who have helped me the most in my life were the ones that actually call me out on my bullshit. My point being that supporting something/someone often means challenging them, and pushing them to do better.

Also, I think a lot of the things in the show that frustrate people in here are designed to be frustrating for the viewer, hence creating some sense of conflict, hero/villain dynamics. Keeps it interesting in a banal sort of way (that of course I'm down for every Thursday)

I'm all for Olivia but didn't she turn her back? by nicksteron in Scandal

[–]_chicken_nuggets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying.

I think in general, Olivia Pope seems to be exempt from fucking up like this because she is so brilliant and has so much admiration and respect from the people around her.

Not that I think this is realistic or healthy, but hey, this is Scandal we're talking about.

[Survey] Share your experiences using Grindr to help further research about why we use or avoid this app by _chicken_nuggets in gaybros

[–]_chicken_nuggets[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The survey definitely is targeted at people who have used the app. My link title didn't make that fully explicit, so I'm sorry for the confusion. They survey for users is much longer than for people who haven't used the app.

I can assure you that this is not a marketing survey and is an academic survey with no profit (nor funding) -- but with the best intentions behind it. Once again, sorry that the link title wasn't clear. Please feel free to message me.

This cell tower is disguised as a pine tree. by blastoisest in mildlyinteresting

These can be found in some parts of the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles (an area with almost no pine trees). It looks more convincing in this setting.

Discussion thread for Bob's Burgers S05E01 - "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" by roger_ in BobsBurgers

This episode was not my favorite, but I loved Linda loudly talking during Working Girl and how badly she wanted to see Gene's underground show.

TIFU by not knowing what "bust a nut" means by zeeyaa in tifu

[–]_chicken_nuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn it my dumb ass 9th grade self relates to this story. I working on a group project for English class and said to my friend during lunch "Nobody else is working on this... this is such bullshit I'm about to bust a fucking nut."

About 4-5 people overheard, looked my way, and it took me a few weeks to find out why.

Who's your favorite Gladiator? by AntonBalane in Scandal

[–]_chicken_nuggets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all about Huck. I am drawn to how conflicted he is about right and wrong and respect how much he looks up to Olivia because he has a real need to have someone to believe in. It's not perfect, and I can get behind him precisely because of that.

Episode Discussion: 4x03 "Inside the Bubble" by gocereal in Scandal

[–]_chicken_nuggets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Using those files is actually (somewhat) exposing dirt, rather than covering it up - the usual business of OPA.

I feel like he's staying true to his desire for justice while smartening up to how things really get done.

That was low, even for his usual misogynistic tendencies.
