Hart of Dixie : Oh It's Coming Baby, Just You Wait..


   All right, I'll admit, the lack of Wade and Zoe content got to me, it was hard ya know and I just gave up, man.. But here I am ! I made it, slowly fast-forwarded my way through all of it, one episode at a time and today, I saw this. 'Wanna know what this is ? This is a precious little thing called reward.




   So, since Wade and Zoe broke up, it's been hard. Season 3 picked up like a year later and Zoe's got a new boyfriend, Joel. She still had a few scenes with Wade, and at some point he used to actually tell her that she was still in love with him. To her face. Multiple times. But then he became friends with Joel, and later started dating Zoe's cousin. So that was the end of that.




   Now, it so happens that I like Joel. He's your classic all around decent guy and I actually think he's perfect for Zoe. You can't deny that they really work, they're very similar but she's more impulsive where he's calm and likes to actually think before he acts or speaks. And I'll just say it, they're actually kind of cute together.




   But anyway, in the last episode, Wade's dad showed up at Zoe's birthday party, positively drunk, to meet his son's new girlfriend.




   It's always been obvious that Earl was a fervent supporter of Zoe and Wade together, and he only just found out about the tragedy that left millions devastated a few hours before, when he ran into Zoe. He thought they were still together, had been together for about 2 years now and were buying a house.




   And it was hard for him to accept. It was hard for all of us.. So he gives Zoe a piece of his mind. If you were still his girlfriend. *slow clap* Spoken like a true believer. With everything he's already done for -Zade I guess it's called, kind of sounds like a cheesy cool but not cool guy's name.. But anyway! With everything this man has done for our cause (because nobody ships George and Zoe anymore #willyoujustgiveupalreadythishasgoneonlongenoughgoddammit -getting side tracked again, I have the attention span of a 3-months-old golden retriever) he deserves a goddamn award, it's so freaking adorable that he's so bummed about it. Favorite character.




   So Wade comes to take care of it and his dad is all like "well come on let's do this" and they're all like "yeaaaaah maybe naaaaat..?."





   And then he gets sulky and grumpy all 'I don't care! I don't even wanna meet the bitch I hate her already!"




   And then BAM. Voice of God. Or the audience, whatever..




   He says it all, that they shouldn't have broken up, that they were perfect for each other and they could have had ruled the world together and have sassy little babies and.. all right I'll stop, he didn't say it in so many words but let's be honest here, he agrees.




   This reminds me of why I love Hart of Dixie, it's cheesy and expected but it's all good. It's the kind of expected where if I was there I'd be like 'Mmmh well, this is interesting *wink* what an interesting turn of events !"




   And thanks to the delicious awkwardness that floats all around them, at some point they desperately look at each other like 'I need eye contact with a person that feels what I'm going through right now!





   And at some point, it gets sad for me. They did make a horrible mistake by letting each other go (Earl's exact words btw) and I know they're gonna get back together but their breakup was still really sad and painful on both sides, it's just a really sad thing to think about. Yeah, I get a little emotional with this show I think maybe it's 'cause it's such a happy show so when they're sad it's like, really sad, I don't know anyway it was a sad moment for me okay !




Also, they're totally touching hands. Yeah it's a little blurry don't be a baby about it !




   So he says thanks in a super meaningful way with super meaningful eyes and that's the end of that !




   I want them together. I know they'll get back together eventually. I want it fast but I don't really. I want this to be well done and to come naturally. I actually feel bad for Joel, I don't care about Vivian but Joel.. Plus, he's friends with Wade, ugh man it's gonna be so awkward. And sad, of course yes, sad. But Wade and Zoe -fine, Zade is on its way back, if we take this as the writer's way of telling us so, and I do believe we do !




   Anyway, that's it.. I have nothing else. Until march.. I'll never understand why they need to make their breaks so long, it's like they feel if it's only 2 weeks, we'll mind or they gotta make it worth it or something, like 'okay fine we're taking a break but then we're taking a real long ass break ! Also, I watched Star-Crossed, have a few thoughts about that. Revolution next week, words cannot describe what I feel. And Teen Wolf is awesome even though I'm too lazy to write about it ! And now that's really it, have an awesome day !

Revolution : Obsessive Rambling


   Just a few thoughts on Revolution*Charloe, before I fully enter the depression stage of my Revolution*CHARLOE withdrawal. Yes, I'm obsessively rewatching Charloe scenes looking for clues and signs of the universe, don't judge okay.




   I'm still worried about the Duncan/Connor coalition, don't deny it we all are, mostly because I'm not sure of how Monroe feels about Charlie. Or, like, how he sees her.. Does he still see her as a kid ? And what exactly is the dynamic of their relationship ? I think he feels very protective of her when he's the only one with her, like he feels responsible for her safety. He would feel super guilty if anything happened to her when she was with him. I'm sure even he doesn't know why that is. Unless he does and it's just pure paternal concern.. Urgh, revolting.





   I think they understand each other. Charlie understands his relationship with Miles (love, resentment and wariness) and maybe even how he came to be a psychotic dictator ! Or not, I don't know.. But she does understand him to some extent and he understands her hate towards him, or used to since there's not much of that going on anymore.. And he's the only one who seems not to take her help and tolerance for granted : Rachel's not getting as much reproach now so she's like 'everything's good again yay, Miles is Miles so if he needs something Charlie's expected to oblige, and Gene and Aaron don't really count.. (sorry Aaron.. f#ck you Gene). It's actually the same for Bass. Miles expects him to help. Somewhere around episode 7 or 8, Monroe was supposed to protect Aaron for a while, Miles expected him to like, take every risk necessary to save him. With the whole Charloe "you came back" thing, Charlie expected him not to give a f#ck. And was pleasantly surprised when he did. And he expects her to dislike him and not want to do anything for him.  





   They're basically the same. They don't expect too much from each other. They're both pretty damn helpful and obliging all the freaking time. Other similarity? Huge abandonment issues. Have lost their entire family. They still have Miles though, both of them yes, and I guess Charlie kind of has Rachel but I'm not entirely convinced that's better than no mom. Okay I feel terrible for saying that, long live all the mamas in the world ! Anyway, they're both tanned and pretty, what more do you need ??


And when they're looking at one another they can't seem to stop.. Didn't even intend to make it sound poetic but it just happened ! Coincidence you say ?! Ha ! B!tch pleeease !
 
   They're both good at killing. Great cause for bonding. Charlie's getting better at fighting so there's also that. And they're sassy, which is our greatest selling point so please do keep it up ! That's pretty much it I guess but hey, it's not that bad ! We got helpfulness, (HUGE) abandonment issues, no family, Miles, tan, prettiness, killing, the looks and dat sass ! That's pretty goddamn good if you ask me !





   Anyway this is all I've come up with so far.. There's not really much else to add since I've already been over pretty much everything remotely interesting to the Charloe persuasion. And, as you know, we have to wait another 2 weeks for new obsession material stuff. And yes I'm gonna leave you on that note because I'm an awful person !*evil laugh (arms raising and all)*

The Tomorrow People : Oh, My, How Things DO Fall Apart


   Okay, so there's this show, it's called The Tomorrow People, blah blah blah, Julie Plec, love triangle(s), etc. 

   


   So Cara and John were kinda sorta together--we're not saying it but it's for f#cking ever bitches kinda relationship. Until she met Stephen and just could not help herself. But it was really just a one time thing (at least that's its current status) and we haven't heard much about it since. And Cara and John have slowly been getting back to that magical little place called "Cara and John together, get your own girl, Stephen".




And finally there was some confirmation to that ! And it started out with her washing him, so..yeah. I think we've established that Cara and John have actual history and as close as we're going to get to chemistry on this show. Moving on to the actual plot.




   Stephen got his BFF, Astrid, in a delicate situation. Since he's a "Tomorrow person"*WORSTNAMEEVERSOMEONEHADTOSAYITTHERE* and Astrid knows about it, that makes her a super serious threat they need to eliminate or it'll be the end of them. Suuuuuuure. So Stephen quits, doesn't make sense but we need it to ensure actual plot progress. And yay we got a solution, a deal with the super big bad, I cannot remember his name and the truth is I just don't care.




   Stephen has to get the big bad's daughter who's been robbing banks and using her powers like there was no tomorrow (no pun intended) in order to get Astrid her shot at a normal life back.




   He gets her to their secret good guys lair and she's actually a decent person. She wants her powers stripped from her so that her dad will leave her alone and not make her work with/for him, maiming people and stuff.




   While all that is happening, John and Cara have a really sweet moment. No they don't, they could have, but they don't. See, John wants to talk about the fact that he kissed her and she kissed him back. Stands to reason, those are things that do need discussing.




   But Cara's not exactly seeing things the same way, 'cause if she's with him she can't be impartial. Okay.. So she rejects any and all possibilities of him and her being anything more than casual partners in saving their race. All right. Well Cara, go die somewhere cold and painful, yeah that's right, somewhere painful, I'm trying to like you but you're nothing but a constant disappointment. #EverybodyHatesCara




   John was probably about to say something really sweet and convincing but, cock block.




Nope, not interrupting anything. Can't you tell how casual this all feels ?




   So they brainstorm through all that's happened so far, and, finally, it does strike them as slightly suspicious that one of the most powerful and (possibly) the worst of their kind asked one little intern to get him his big bad empire's potential heir. Stephen doesn't agree, he wants to help Astrid and get it over with, but Cara unilaterally decides they're keeping Cassie (oh yeah her name is Cassie by the way) until they know what the hell is happening.




   This surprisingly good-ish decision allows Cara to actually go and talk to Cassie. And it appears that Cassie has no memory of her time in Brown, where she supposedly graduated. Interesting.




   Cara delves into the depths of her mind, it's all torture and crazy scientists/DAD, and Cara is too shocked to tell Cassie the truth about what happened to her. Sometimes it's the big decisions, sometimes it's all in the little details, but Cara sucks.




   Anyway at least they know why she'd rather have her powers stripped than be of any interest to her father and I'm guessing Cara's not okay with them just handing her over to the psychotic bastard, which, actually a good decision, good job you little.. I don't even know! So the plan is for Stephen to go to the meeting spot or search the lab where Cassie's brain was chemically and technologically abused or something, clearly I'm not in this for the amazingly sophisticated plot developments !


Don't criticize my amazing plot developments
 
   Stephen, being the badass that he is, gets captured. Now let's not make fun of Stephen, he tried and failed there's no shame in that.*small evil laugh* I actually like Stephen. I'm not rooting for him regarding the whole Cara's a slut situation, but I like him.




   While Stephen's being sequestrated, the underground people have to do something otherwise Stephen dies and the show's kind of over. So. John defies Cara's authority by taking Cassie and bringing her to Ultra.




   Cassie's basically a sweet British girl who seems like a really good person, but not in an annoying way which is so freaking rare these days, man... So for some reason I guess she's not feeling so hot about going to see her Daddy after all, but luckily this is TV land! Never underestimate the power of a good ol' motivational speech.




   Naturally, Cassie then goes in and saves the day. Stephen's safe, yay great idea perfectly executed except, oops, she's stuck with a psychopath that wants her on his side more than anything (mostly a hypothesis but either way, not a good situation to be in), but yeah great plan anyway !




   Cara is not comfortable with the way things turned out and most importantly she's not happy with John questioning her authority. In front of everyone.




   So she's pissed, her pride is hurt, and she's self-conscious about her ability to keep her troops in line. I understand the feeling, I actually could agree with it, but the way Cara handles things, I mean what the hell are you trying to accomplish here, girl ?! Threatening your years-long love to kick him out of the only place he's really safe because he disrespected you in order to save the guy you cheated on him with's life, well that's never the right way to go about these issues. I'm not even sure that was a real sentence but yeah you're in the wrong Cara. So John gets a little pissed and calls her bluff. Now, I like John and I like everything he does but that was not a smart move. Calling Cara's bluff in front of everyone ?? Didn't we already cover this ?!




   So Cara goes through with her threat and tells him to pack his stuff and go which is of course not the right decision since John was the leader and, basically, father figure of the group for a loooong time before she was put in charge like 2 episodes ago.. If he's not safe, no one is, it's called Survival Instinct Under Dictatorship you idiot ! Girl, I am done with you, this is the last straw I am not gonna force myself to like you anymore !


Disrespect me again ?! You going down mothafucka !

   John is somewhat surprised/revolted by all this but really, we all saw it coming. She was trying to make a statement here, to like, take back control (which she still had, materially) and he freaking tried to rip it away from her, you don't do that man, you just don't my little baby.


But.. I want to decide.

   Anyway, end of the episode, Cassie's screwed but she manages to warn Stephen, that he's a dumb idiot if he believed for a single second that her dad was gonna hold up his end of the deal. Astrid's in danger, but having lunch with Stephen's mom (no idea why, don't ask, plot twist) who luckily has powers to protect everybody, yaaaaay..




   I cannot believe this is Julie Plec's work. Even though the Vampire Diaries has been pretty bad lately *past couple years, no biggie* I still like the tone and (some of) the characters, and I'm actually really enjoying the Originals -even though they're shipping all the wrong ships..but we're not getting into that!- point is, I like Julie Plec's work but this ?! This is a disgrace. It's fun and the character dynamics are -we'll call it interesting. But it's just not good content, I don't know, I feel about this show the same way I used to feel about the Secret Circle.. Except not as bad because never gonna happen but yeah, that's what it reminds me of. Keep it up, I guess ?
