dumbass do u ever think maybe just maybe people talk differently in different parts of the country?
I was leaving that alone ^^^.
Pops knocked her teeth out with words 1st episode didn't he!? Like pow! And reduced her to 10 years old within a 2nd. That shit...
"What did i tell you!? "
"WHAT did i TELL you."
"ugottabetwiceasgood"
"LOUDER!"
"You gotta be twice as good!"
YOU've got to be TWICE as good to get HALF of what they've got!"
Made me sit up in my chair. Reminded me of Hubb and Jordan when he got on her case. Dad's disappointment was PALPABLE son! He was thoroughly disgusted with her. Hell he basically called her a negro bedwench. He should've. Man that would've made bw who watch for the loving the whitey HOT! Probably would've rioted lmao. Loved it.
Nah remember. He never loved Milly. Milly was cheating on him during the first running remember? He got with Milly because his dad set him up with Milly. Did you like Cyrus this episode? lol "I'm an animal but i'm YOURRR Animal."
its crazy cause he said all of that and i was thinking it for a while now, you got all this shit and you gone throw it away to be the first lady....when senator dude was trying to get you to be all that you were pushing him away like nah bro i needs my power
their whole relationship.. just nah..
dad said the real, but it just drives her to disobey him. guess she must blame him for her moms death or something. when he said.. "you lifted your skirt and spread your knees"
i was like
is he talking to his daughter? i don't remember the milly stuff but you're probably right.
Cyrus is always crazy... my favorite part though was the vice president. when she had enough of him talking about her god. she was like i don't say shit about you being gay and adopting a brown baby and dragging her into all of your shit.. i keep it professional... and he had a look like "well got damn she's right" but he was about to do the very thing that he told olivia he wasn't going to do so maybe that will come out later. who knows.
i need to watch strike back before i go to tutoring
I get it and then I don't. I can't think of many depictions of black women on television so when a decent one comes along AND in a soap operatic context, it may be hard for alot of women to resist.
But is it me or does this show CONSUME the women that watch it? I mean, does every status update have to be about Olivia Pope? I don't even watch the show and I have a sense of what's happening on it. I so want to say, "commenting on the show EVERY WEEK as it happens indicates that you have no life whatsoever", but I guess the broads say the same about us when it comes to football.
it became a chick show over the last half of the season.
it started as just a fixer type show. then it turned into a soap opera with tender moments and shit smh
I dont like the whole she fucking the President. A true hardcore proffessional wouldnt do that. I wouldnt see a problem if they were just attracted to each other, but they actually slept together and the first lady encourages it, as long as she keeps her first lady status??!!
Nah, I don't like that at all!
yea i don't get that. the dialogue is one of the best parts of the show. i know people who talk like that lol.

scandal got every histrionic bitch with anything above a masters degree thinking they're olivia pope with snarky catch phrases & clever/truthfully mediocre dinner pontification.
Bitch ass... I have been to DC several times and have many friends and family there... People don't talk like that...shut the fuck up and have a seat. Besides, she and those workers of hers are the only ones that do that fast talking, like its supposed to be cool and chic or some shit.
Don't have one anymore. Always like Halle Berry but used to be Sanaa after Love and Basketball then Julia Stiles after Save the last dance now I keep up with no chicks.
This...
Ugly truths are better than pretty lies.
Fake marriages (bearing false witness- a lie) is just as immoral as infidelity.
That's why ladies against adultery can be into it. Because the wife was a willing participant in a fake political marriage that wasn't based on true love.
A lot of black people have taken to this show because of the keeping it real factor. As we grow to be mature adults, we lose the brash realness of our feelings and the ability to share them in a real way (ie sugar-coating).
This show blows the lid off of all things fake. Kinda like what would happen if keeping it real went wrong then really right again. In the end, the white hat of truth always wins
Didn't dad lay that shit down! That scene alone proves Shondra's writing is something serious. And when the VP was ripping into Cyrus...“I have never once mentioned what I think of your Godless homosexual lifestyle and that poor sweet brown baby you dragged into it." again her character consistency is on point.
you don't have to be a fan, but to say that the writing is bad...c'mon now... I can't help but formulate opinions of people who say they can't keep up with the dialogue but i'll keep them to myself

ur not even worth it. u win.
im ridin w/ the lil girl from beasts of the southern wild and angel bassett.
the rest can kick rocks...
Let me tell you a story. I know a lawyer who works for a certain us senator. She allowed someone to videotape her giving pussy to mouth while Mary's in town.
That's no regional dialect--only Olivia Pope and her staff do that bullshit..have you ever noticed it's to music? Again, it's supposed to come off as slick, but to me it's annoying.

duck tales.
so an attorney that works for a sitting us senator let U know that she has a disgusting career threatening sextape of her bleeding in somebody trifling mouth?
nah...
not going to stunt might check for it plus seeing Kerry on the screen cant be a bad thing.
No. the guy dug into her and she sucked him off. She's apparently nuts. But this guy has enough personality to disarm a couple folks. The stories he has told me
You're not worth it either asshole. I'm not trying to "win"..there is nothing to win here. I'm making a fucking observation and coming in here calling someone "dumb ass" and trying to act like talkinglikethiswhilewalkingnonstopandnottakingafuckingbreath is a form of dialect or speaking in DC. GTFOH. Really.
I've got friends from the burroughs..they all take a breath between words like normal human beings.
Maybe folks do talk like that. The west wing had characters talking like that.
when they do the fixing stuff it's great.
the other people on the show story lines are great too.
its just the soap opera relationship stuff that ruins it a bit for me but that's the part that keeps the ratings up...
people do talk like that. she just hasn't encountered them and that's ok

That's why I started a thread. My sister has been losing her mind, waiting for the new season, every black female I know went crazy this past week! This show has become a religion to them.
I've always been happy for Shonda Rimes. Being a black screenwriter in Hollywood is not an easy feat and she's done it, with hit shows to boot.
I know she had to save her ass, but my only criticism of her is how she turned on Isiah Washington. Let's be honest here--Hollywood is ran by all gays, so she know she has to stay on their side.
It's not an accident that the VP on scandal was written as a gay. I think that's far fetched bullshit too, but I know the fags are loving that character.

"I had the actors talk so fast because they had 70 pages of dialogue".
There you go...
what does that mean?
does that change the fact that i know people who talk like that?
no...
Viola Davis, Taraji Henson, some of the chicks on Orange is the New Black are definitely on the come up. There's some talent out there.
what does that mean?
does that change the fact that i know people who talk like that?
no...
This is not about saying there aren't people who talk fast. Of course out of the millions of people in the US, SOMEBODY talks like that. That's not the debate.
The discussion is why Olivia Pope and her staff talk in rapid speed. Again, I'm not the only one to notice it. Someone asked the producer/writer of the show about it and she addressed it. That's why I provided the link.
but so many black women have recommended it I have to at LEAST watch a few episodes.
ur def right. i do like taraji p.
what does that mean?
does that change the fact that i know people who talk like that?
no...
and it isnt a new thing either
The West Wing did the same thing
and a lot of independent films...
as matter of fact any one who has seen a Mamet play knows ALL of the actors have to speak in this off beat pattern when they say their lines... (ie: The Unit)
