New Scandal promo
(None of the following is a spoiler, and neither is anything in the promo--in fact, I think there were at least two almost identical scenes in previous episodes.)
Are they still trying to sell Fitz/Olivia as a love story? Because for a 10-second promo that includes exactly one line, it comes off like the beginning of a very, very disturbing horror movie. And the fact that this is what they choose to show as as the promo for the upcoming episodes, a snippet in which Olivia silently stares at Fitz while he spouts his possessive bullshit, is frankly disturbing. Especially since it opens with a shot of her looking at something, presumably Fitz, looking positively terrified. And since she's wearing two different outfits in that snippet, that's at least two different scenes of her looking alarmed in Fitz's company, and if the major arc in those episodes in not 'bringing Fitz down so Olivia and everyone else can go on with their lives without this creep lurking in the shadows behind them' then I think I'm bailing out.
What is it with the showrunners depicting obsessive dudes and their determination as romantic? (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I'm looking at you.)
