JM: I mean, of this season, anyway.
SF: Probably of all time.
JM: Are we calling it?
SF: I feel like weve accomplished what we set out to do.
JM: Write a handful of largely substanceless puff pieces and release them on an irregular schedule?
SF: That was our original goal.
But weve got one more to crank out, so lets do it.
Lets discuss Thats My Girl.
JM: Thats my boy.
This episode was a real humdinger.
I knew what was going to happen, and I still wasnt sure what was going to happen.
I mean, you offed your father-in-law for $$$ before the credit roll.
Still, you couldnt have held the mans hand as he expired?
Maybe stroked his hair?
Offered a little solace?
SF: It wasnt in the script.
What do you want from me?
I did feel bad about it, though.
JM: Also, Jeff Perry in pajamas.
And what a romantic rollercoaster Cyrus was on in this episode.
I completely bought into Cyrom.
I really thought Tom and Cyrus were going to make it work.
Cyrus was a bit cold when breaking up with Tom, didnt you think?
JM: I did.
SF: No reason, no choice, just its over.
And that was after theOf Mice and Menlow blow.
I noticed he left Killed Jerry Grant, Jr. off his babysitter resume.
A favorite moment: Fitz says Vermont, and a nation of Olitzers sigh.
Man oh man, Fitz and Olivia got me all in my feels in that Oval office scene.
SF: Me too!!
I got a little excited there.
That Liv/Fitz scene was great.
Especially knowing that Fitz had seen her medical records and knew about the abortion.
What a shame Abby didnt realize that her desk has drawers.
SF: It put a great spin on the I support your decision line.
Well done, I thought.
Also, the scene between Mellie and Fitz was beautiful.
JM: The lets-fight-in-a-convention-hall scene?
I was rooting for Fitz and then Mellie… it was really well written.
Real tears, from her eyes, nicely done.
JM: Hey, thanks.
SF: …on Portias part.
I see what you did.
SF: Im really interested in how the next season is going to play out.
Relationship-wise, election-wise, Rosen-wise.
Does his term end when Fitz leaves office?
JM: Holy smokes, never thought of that.
No fixed term for an AG!
DR could be out of work… again.
Mind if I say it for what could be the last time?
SF: Knock yourself out.
JM: Im the Attorney General of the United States.
SF: Youve still got it.
JM: And dude, whats going to be with Jake in season 6?
Are you going to wind up a heartbeat away from the Presidency?
Scary, scary thought.
SF: And what of Cyrus?
Hes kind of an island right now as well.
How will he scheme to win the election?
JM: And so many weeks before theyre answered.
I guess that wraps upScandaluntil next season.
