I love this show! Last night's episode was particularly good, no?

Wow, that Huck with his "whiskey" problem was scary, yet oddly vulnerable. I don't trust the girl at the meeting who held his hand. A plant?

I still don't like the long-haired girl who hates Quinn. The ambiguity of who's playing whom is interesting between her and David.

Part of me feels bad for the First Lady...

The real woman behind the Pope character was on The Daily Show earlier this year. She's really well-spoken, and refined looking. Very impressive.

I really want to love this show but I wish they would talk normally, it is losing me, who came up with this anyway? I'm sure nobody talks this way in real life. Can't hear very well and can't read that fast to even know what is going on half the time.

That's the one thing that still drives me nuts....the fast talking. I really wish they would slow it down a tiny bit.

I think the fast talk is what makes it a fast paced and exciting show. Slowing the tempo would take away from what makes it great.

I'm wit'choo guys on the fasttalking. I can't understand half of what they're saying. But Fritz has a point, it adds to the high-stress high-anxiety aspect of the show.

Subtitles would be nice.

Yeah, they would ^^^ but as one poster said, "I can't read that fast either". It's a no-win situation but I'll keep watching even though I miss some of the dialoge. Like when I used to just look at the pictures 'cause I couldn't read!

I saaw the redhead who plays Abby on a repeat of NCIS, she played Gibbs' dead wife, Shannon. I saw the original eppie but Scandal wasn't on the air yet. She looked much prettier because she didn't have her "Quinn" face on.

I have to record it and watch it later because of the fast talking. Then I use closed-captioning to make sure I get it all. If I don't, pause/rewind, etc. It's hard work watching this show!

Yeah, it is really a job for me to watch it!
I also get a little perturbed thinking they feel this is so "in" and hope other shows don't start doing it too because I will have to go back to reading books since all I do during this show is read and rewind.

I don't think it would hurt this show to slow it down just a tad. Just enough to still keep it moving and fast-paced but not lightning fast. I noticed on the last episode, even the medical examiner was spewing the facts at breakneck speed. Come on. It's just a bit much.

That said, I still think it's a great show, it would be even better if people didn't feel like it was whizzing by so fast.
