I.LOVE.THIS.SHOW!

Olivia has left her role as White House Communications Director for the President to start her own crisis management firm. She is a professional 'fixer' who makes problems go away before anyone even knows they exist.

I missed the episodes while they were on, so I ended up picking up the DVD season 1, and I'm hooked. It's fast pace doesn't bother me a bit. I can't wait for season 2.

I love it too! Olivia's my favourite, even though we don't really know tons about the other characters yet.

Oh Huck, got issues, major issues, and now he's let it out of the box I hope he can stuff it back in.

The inspiration

Judy Smith

Crisis management guru Judy Smith is the woman who inspired the new ABC drama "Scandal." The show revolves around the character inspired by Smith. Olivia Pope is played by actor Kerry Washington, a self-proclaimed gladiator in a form-fitting Tahari suit. She devotes her career - those near her would say her life - to helping people get out of a bind.

I'm just gonna say this then leave it alone

Olivia and President Grant good chemistry even though it's wrong it looks so right

The first Lady scares me and I admire her at the same time

Cyrus doesn't scare me so much even though he can be evil as hell

Harrison I don't know what he did but he's one quick mofo, I like him

Abby kills me and I can see where she's coming from, she doesn't play at all

Quinn is as cute as she can be and I can't wait for next season to see what the big mystery about her is, she seems so innocent.

The Vice President is a trip she's a mixture of all kinds of people.

Huck, wow, just wow

Yep, me, front and center next season, even if it doesn't last long.
