Huck might do<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to Fitz when Liv’s reputation is irrevocably damaged by this absolutely ridiculous affair).<\/p>\nThis is what I don’t understand<\/strong>: how could Liv look at Fitz (how could FITZ look at FITZ?!) for 22 minutes, knowing that his wife was somewhere waiting for him to come back to her. How could Liv not say, “You need to talk to your wife, tell her it’s over. You’re being a complete coward by sitting here with me and letting the clock run out.” Why don’t Liv and the OliviFitz fanatics demand that Fitz EVER be a man and be responsible for his life choices? Things are always happening\u00a0to<\/em> Fitz. He’s never responsible for what goes on in his life. It’s his horrible daddy’s fault or his horrible wife’s fault or it’s horrible Cyrus’s fault or horrible LIV’s fault (y’all do remember when he “hated” Liv and called her a WHORE after having sex with her in a closet, right?!) Fitz is never to blame for why he does what he does.<\/p>\nAnd back to Mellie.<\/strong> Yes, she’s terrible. She’s calculating. She’s cold and withholding –probably very much like Fitz’s own mother, based on the irritating and entitled way he moves about the world, but that’s another blog post. But she’s still his wife. He took vows with her. He’s had children with her. He’s spent over a decade of his life with his woman and it doesn’t mean anything. \u00a0Why, because she’s not Liv?<\/p>\nWe’ve already seen that Liv doesn’t get special treatment from Fitz. When he believes someone has “wronged” him, he believes his actions — even to the point of MURDER, people!! remember that??–are justified. He can degrade and destroy Liv emotionally, call her a slut and tell her she’s nothing to him, because Liv did something he didn’t like. What makes Liv or anyone else think he would treat her any different than he is treating Mellie if things continue to not go his way down the line?<\/p>\n
Mellie and Cyrus and Charlie and many others on “Scandal”<\/strong> and other shows<\/del>\u00a0(scratch that–there are no other shows besides “Scandal.” It’s the only reason your television was invented.) those folks are despicable characters that we love to hate. But the thing about those other characters is that they don’t pretend to be anything other than who they are. Those characters are not championed as the “ideal” by masses or themselves. But on this show and even in real life, people are falling all over this Fitz character as if he is in anyway desirable as a person–fantasy or otherwise. But from the affair, the constant disrespect to his wife and children and even to Liv, whom he claims to love, all the way through to the murder of Verna, we see that\u00a0Fitz lacks integrity, human decency and common respect. This narcissistic man-child shouldn’t be desired, he should be committed.<\/p>\nAnd that’s all I have to say about that.<\/p>\n
