Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} in the Moment by Olivia Jake Kerry Washington’S Favorite ‘Scandal’ Season 3 Moments Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} In the Moment by Olivia Jake Kerry Washington’s Favorite ‘Scandal’ Season 3 Moments. The Emmy-nominated star of ABC’s smash-hit drama tells the stories behind Olivia Pope’s wildest, craziest, and most scandalous moments from the show’s third season. Kerry Washington. Craig Sjodin/ABC. Season 3, Episode 1 “It’s Handled” Olivia’s name is leaked as Fitz’s mistress. Hunkered down in a bunker, she, Mellie, and Fitz argue over what details about their relationship they want to make public. I don’t remember exactly, but this scene was maybe seven pages, which, in television, is an eternity. It felt like shooting a play. It felt like doing a play, to have three of us in a room for that amount of time. And the scene had such a huge beginning, middle, and end, and such an arc. It felt like a beautifully written one-act play. Everybody has their own moment. I love both of those actors so much, so to be able to get that opportunity with them was so fun. The three of us are all Broadway actors. We all brought the same excitement about the theatrical element of it. We rehearsed it like a play, thought about it like a play, and lived in it like a play. I feel like the three of us could have done that scene for weeks. There’s such a shift, too, in the way Olivia is speaking to Mellie. For me, that’s one of the important dynamics of the show. It’s impossible for there to be a good guy and a bad guy. Everybody’s relationships are just so complicated. Their personal histories are so complicated. I think Olivia goes from being angry at the judgment that she receives from Mellie to having to be in touch with that compassion and shame around her own choices. Season 3, Episode 8 “Vermont Is for Lovers, Too” Fitz brings Olivia to the house in Vermont he had built for the two of them. I thought this scene was so beautifully written. It was so unexpected, that the house in Vermont would be for her. And then there was this beautiful journey from anger into passion for those two. I think even just the idea, the very, very romantic idea, that he built this house for them is so breathtaking. And Tony’s monologue, what he did with it was so beautiful. We had the pleasure of being directed by Ava DuVernay in that episode. It just was so much fun to break down the moments of that scene with her. She really loves actors and gets actors. She gives such a beautiful space for actors to explore and dance and do what we do. So it was thrilling to be able to do that scene with her. Season 3, Episode 9 “YOLO” Olivia hugs her mom and puts her on the plane to Hong Kong, only to realize seconds later that she’s a terrorist. I thought that writing was so great in this scene. I did not see that twist coming in that episode. There’s this thing that happened this season, because of the storylines with Olivia’s parents, that you got to see the sort of unraveled Olivia Pope. This scene was really fun for me because I felt like you start with seeing little girl Olivia, when she runs out to her mother and hugs her you see some of the innocence of heartbreak and how she’s never been able to have a relationship with her mother. So it’s so vulnerable and raw, and there’s a real sweetness to that connection. And then it so quickly turns to horror. I loved the challenge of that moment. It was one of the many moments that I give credit to our writers for being so courageous and bold in their choices. Then that cliffhanger last line—“He’s not the monster. She is.”—we all were like, “This is not the season finale!?” Season 3, Episode 10 “A Door Marked Exit” Olivia goes to the bunker where Fitz and Papa Pope are after realizing that her mom is the terrorist. I really liked this scene because it was a moment where, finally, Olivia one-ups her dad a little bit and figures out what he’s all about. And I just love all the stuff with Tony Goldwyn and Joe Morton as well. Again, our show moves so quickly, so when you have those moments of two or three people in a room just laying into each other, I think it’s such a treat. You don’t often get the opportunity to do that in that way. It’s really only theater. So much of our show reminds me of really great theater. I used to say in Season 1 that Olivia Pope is always the most powerful person in the room, with the exception of one room, the Oval Office. That man has so much power. But I think now we’ve come to a place where it’s her dad and Fitz who she struggles with, in terms of how to stay in her power. Season 3, Episode 16 “The Fluffer” Olivia confronts vice presidential candidate Andrew about his affair with Mellie. To me, this scene was like old school Olivia Pope. Like old school pilot on the park bench. And I loved it! It’s a version of Olivia Pope that we hadn’t seen in a while, because so much of that season was about the unraveling of Olivia and the vulnerability behind the mask of Olivia Pope. That to me felt like a moment where she really needed to put on her “Olivia Pope,” quote unquote, identity. I loved playing that version of Olivia in the context of all the trouble. She was becoming so unraveled and undone, so it was nice that she was forced into that old ray of dealing with clients. We kept joking about the show evolving and blossoming from this love triangle into this five-pointed star. It’s no longer Mellie and Liv and Fitz. It’s Mellie and Liv and Fitz and Jake and Andrew. It’s much more complicated, which is wonderful. I also loved that moment because Jon Tenney is so fantastic, and his character is so unafraid of Olivia that she lays into him in that really old school way. His response to her is about Fitz, like wow, what has he done to you. I love that, too. They really have the capacity to battle, those two. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds, because I love his relationship with Mellie. He really sees Mellie and values Mellie. That was put to an end at the end of Season 3, but one never knows… Season 3, Episode 18 “The Price of Free and Fair Elections” Olivia tells Jake that she is the scandal and asks him to stand in the sun with her. I really love this because I think Jake is a person who is really just down for Olivia. He is truly, unconditionally supportive of who she is and wants to be with her. I really liked that scene because it was the moment of Olivia expressing that in order for her to get her life together she has to press the reset button. She has to deal with herself and walk away from it all. The fact that he says that he can do that with her is so powerful to me. I think Olivia believed, in that moment, that to reset she’d have to do it completely alone, so being invited to have a partner in that felt really special. And I love, love, love working with Scott Foley. I find our scenes to be some of the more challenging scenes, because their relationship is so complicated. They don’t have the unbridled passion of Liv and Fitz, the kind of sweeping, romantic, idealistic pining for each other. Their relationship has much more angles and complexities. Liv and Fitz have complexities in the dynamics and outside circumstances of their relationship, but their relationship—how they feel about each other—is very clear. It’s very different with Jake and Liv. How they feel about each other is really complicated. Even though she tells him that she’s in love with someone else, he’s willing to go with her, and you don’t get the sense that he’s doing it because he has low self-esteem. He’s very masculine, he’s very empowered, he’s very smart, he’s very sophisticated. He just is willing to be on this ride with her for who she is, not who he wants her to be. It’s funny because Shonda Rhimes keeps calling Season 3 the dark season, because it was very, very dark. And not just for Olivia, but for her parents and Mellie and so many other characters. So the idea to need to be in the light, to be in a place where secrets aren’t hidden, where you can just be in the sun—it’s such a powerful metaphor. At the end of Season 2 when the big reveal happens and I said, “Dad,” Joe Morton and I kept asking what our relationship was and the writers would say, “Oh, we’re not sure yet.” So we had to do it 17 different ways. I had to say, “Dad,” as if I was happy to see him; “Dad,” as if I was upset to see him; “Dad,” as if I was scared to see him.

    Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation within Genre Television by Courtney Suggs A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Studies Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katie Foss, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Sally Ann Cruikshank ABSTRACT Using textual genre analysis, this research studied representation in primetime soap operas Scandal, How To Get Away with Murder, and Empire. Two hundred and eighty- three episodes were viewed to understand how black female identity is represented in primetime soap and how genre influences those representation. Using Collins (2009) theory of controlling images, this study found that black female protagonists were depicted as jezebels and matriarchs. The welfare mother stereotype was updated by portrayals of black woman as hard working. Soap opera conventions such as heavy talk helped provide context to stereotypical portrayals while conventions such as melodrama lead to reactive characterization. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………….….....1 Background……………………………………………………...………........3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW.....................................................................9 Black Women in Scripted Television…...........................................................9 Television Effects on Viewers……………………………………………....14 CHAPTER III: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK………………………………....18 Representation Theory……………………………………………………...18 Genre Theory……………………………………………………………….19

    The Sound of Hammers Must Never Cease: The Collected Short Stories of Tim Fulmer Party Crasher Press ©2009, 2010, 2014, Tim Fulmer. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Tim Fulmer. This book is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and perhaps the result of a psychotic breakdown on the reader’s part. This definitive collection of Tim Fulmer’s highly entertaining short work includes an introduction by the author and sixty-one stories that chronicle the restless lives of what have been called Gen X and Gen Y. From the psychotic disillusionment of inner city life in “Chicago, Sir" and “Mogz & Peeting” to the shocking and disturbing discoveries of suburban dysfunction in “It’s Pleonexia” and “Yankee Sierra,” Tim Fulmer tells us everything we need to know about growing up and living in North America after 1967. His characters are very scary people -- people with too much education, too much time on their hands, and too much insight ever to hold down a real job long enough to buy a house and support a family -- in short, people just like how you and I ought to be all the time. These are stories of concealed poets, enemies of the people, awful bony hands, pink pills, sharp inner pains, Jersey barriers, and exquisite corpses. The language throughout is unadorned, accurate, highly crafted, ecstatic, even grammatically desperate.

    “OBVI WE’RE THE LADIES”: THE UNRULY WOMEN OF POSTFEMINIST TELEVISION _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing Studies _______________ by Jennifer L. Roche Summer 2015 iii Copyright © 2015 by Jennifer L. Roche All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION For my husband Alex and my father John. Thank you for your unending support and for your appreciation of complicated and unruly women. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Obvi We’re the Ladies”: The Unruly Women of Postfeminist Television by Jennifer L. Roche Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing Studies San Diego State University, 2015 In recent years, the attention of the public and the media has turned back to issues affecting women around the world. During the postfeminist backlash of the 1990s and into the early part of the twenty-first century, women’s issues were pushed to the backburner and “feminism” became a word loaded with negative connotations. Today, people are seeing the effects of this unfortunate backlash, and activists, politicians and entertainers are returning their attention to issues of equality. This renewed interest in equality has created a kairotic moment for Hollywood to change the dialogue about women on screen. This study analyzes two of the top rated, most highly acclaimed shows on television that were created and written by women and investigates, through a feminist lens, how the leading female characters in these shows represent rhetorical constructions of women and of feminism. Using the shows Girls on HBO, written, starring and created by Lena Dunham and Scandal on ABC, written, produced and directed by Shonda Rhimes, this paper traces issues of character development and story arcs; body image and notions of beauty; positions in both the private and public spheres; and personal relationships, and argues that today’s leading lady is a postfeminist version of the unruly woman.
