Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 5, episode 1: “Heavy Is The Head”

Heather — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:00:50 -0700

They might as well have called this "Killing Bex Porter." I don't know yet if we'll stick with Scandal recaps, but I had to cover The One Where They Kill An American From Iowa Who Had Married A Foreign Prince. I mean, they even had Abby talking to Liv all about how she can't imagine what…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4 finale

Heather — Sat, 16 May 2015 15:00:53 -0700

I read somewhere that Shonda Rhimes says she quite likes writing herself into a corner and then giving herself the summer to figure out what the hell to do about it. Of course, last summer she wrote Columbus Short into a corner in case he needed to be fired (which he did); this season, she wrote…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 21

Tell me, Fug Nationals: Does this disclaimer always/often run in front of Scandal?

Because I watch it next-day on Hulu, and this is the first time I've noticed it there -- or at least, the first time in a while. It certainly wasn't present during some of the more awful recent…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 20, “First Lady Sings The Blues”

Heather — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:00:40 -0700

Let's get right to what everyone is wondering about:

Yes, the OPA conference table DOES still look good with a mostly dead body lying on it. And let us also compliment the work of Russell, who not only stomped the yard right out of Jake, but then cleaned it up so that Quinn…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 19, “I’m Just A Bill”

Heather — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 21:00:30 -0700

Well, Susan Ross may be a bit of a Mary Sue right now -- she is too awesome to be true -- but her parts of the episode had panache and life, which only underscored how grim the rest is. With apologies to Scott Foley, who can only do the job he is given, whenever…

Fug the Show: Scandal, season 4, episode 18, “Honor Thy Father”

Heather — Mon, 06 Apr 2015 21:00:26 -0700

Did you enjoy one blessed week fee and clear of B-Ieber? Because it's BACK, and it's opening its gaping, salivating mouth and preparing to chow down on the remaining four episodes of this show.

We begin in David Rosen's office, where almost nothing good ever happens, if you think about it.

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 17, “Put A Ring On It”

Heather — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 22:00:13 -0700

This episode was much better -- it felt like a step back to the Scandal of yore, albeit slightly marred by the fact that it's HARD to backtrack when just last week Huck was cutting the throat of a young woman so casually, for selfish motivations that he made sound so urgent (and yet also…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 16, “It’s Good To Be Kink”

Heather — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 19:30:24 -0700

It's the Lena Dunham episode, ladies and gents, and it is all about the bang -- both the ones on her wig, and the sexual kind.

Lena plays a brilliant former chemistry major turned ex-EPA employee who has decided to have kinky sex with all the Washington power players she can, and then write a…

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 15, “The Testimony of Diego Muñoz”

Heather — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:00:02 -0700

In case you're wondering, "Diego Muñoz" is Huck's real name. And you're crazy if you didn't think I just sung to myself, of this noted deathmonger, "Where In The World Is Harmin' Man Diego?" Listen, I NEVER said I wasn't a total hack.

Also not a hack: Susan Ross, bless her. Let's start there.

Fug the Show: Scandal recap, season 4, episode 14, “The Lawn Chair”

Heather — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:00:59 -0700

This episode, thematically, took on the maelstrom that was Ferguson. For recapping purposes I find it hard to weave in and out of that narrative while making capsy comments about Fitz's relative worstness and Cyrus's hair and whether people in the White House are stupid. So, the storylines in this recap are NOT presented in order of…
