Hart of Dixie : Self-Destructive Wade, You've Done It Again ...



Damn you Self-Destructive Wade ! You suck. I love you and I feel for you but seriously, you need to stop doing stuff like that, it's not healthy !




So in the last episode Wade lost some contest he entered to win money for his bar, he got drunk and left the bar with a woman that wasn't Zoe. But we didn't really know anything, just that he had exited the bar with her ! They might have said good bye when they got outside, there was hope !




So after Zoe hears that Wade wasn't alone when he left, she confronts him. Yeah he was taking a shower at her place, weird ...




He tells her the girl just needed a jump for her car, he was just helping her out and yeah maybe she wanted his body, who wouldn't right ? But nothing happened. Pheeew, collective sigh of relief. Even though he was making weird faces, it's a good story. Believable. And he sold it pretty well, so for a second there I actually had hope that maybe, just maybe, it was all gonna be okay. 





Zoe agreed with me. She was all happy and relieved, splaying her hand across her man's chest. Zoe and Wade sittin' in a tree...




And then BOOM! She leaves and he stares after her. Bad sign.




Then Georges confronts Wade about the girl he saw him leave with. Wade explains, and Georges is like Zoe and me : satisfied and blissfully ignorant. Well my ignorance wasn't exactly blissful since I'm not in the show and therefore not a gullible bitch. Anyway George tells Wade he really is a changed man.


Weird face dude. It's like Adam from the Secret Circle all over again.


 And then BAM! Frome then on it's just an endless series of guilty looks.






And the guilt eats at him, at some point it's unbearable to watch like when he says he wants to tell Zoe something and ends up telling her she's amazing and he's lucky to have her. Poor baby. I know he's the jerk but I feel his guilt and resulting pain seeping out of my screen and into me.




He knows she's the best thing that's ever happened to him and that he just did the thing that would hurt her most. And it's killing him.




Then the most emotionally charged scene of the entire episode. In my opinion, of course. Zoe has agreed to be Wonda's maid of honor, which means she has to take care of Wonda's mom and make sure she comes to the wedding. Which she refuses to attend. The reason she doesn't want to come to her daughter's wedding is because her husband cheated on her years ago and she can't stand to watch her little girl open herself up to that pain. Sure, a bit emotional but not that heart-breaking right ? Right ?




WROOONG ! She tells Zoe the story of how she found out her husband was cheating on her : one night he didn't come home, didn't even call, came up with some lame excuse. Then he was acting "weird, distant" but at the same time "too sweet, too accommodating". The reason this scene is so heartbreaking is simply that you see a heart break, the subtlety of Zoe's understanding is what makes it so strong. It's not a big discovery scene where the chick starts screaming, crying or even breaking things. No she just hears another woman's story, another woman's heartbreak and she knows. In the blink of an eye she's not happily unaware anymore, no more blissful ignorance, the thought gets into her head and she recognizes it for what it is. The pain of knowing this is the truth, not Wade's lie, Tanzie's kindness but this, the fact that she was betrayed and she's just now starting to believe it.




I love Wade, I do but screw him, I love her more. Solidarity, sister !




Anyway after the most awkward of ceremonies, they calmly saunter to a bench to discuss Wade's foul treachery. Yes, just a calm little walk to an excruciatingly quiet breakup scene.




He's tense, he knows she's hurt and he can barely stand to talk without any big burst of emotions, his voice is strained, he tries to explain what the hell went through his head. Basically he's in hell. And she is heartbroken. And he knows it. Hell he probably feels it.




Anyway she talks, quiet as ever, she's sorry she pushed him to be someone he's not, but still what he did is unforgivable. So that's it, 16 episodes after they had sex and only 6 after they officially got together. Well at least, now they'll go back to bickering... Probably. Eventually.




This last picture is just because I really love Lavon, even if I don't talk about him because he's always with people I don't care about like Lemon, or Lemon's bestfriend, or George who just happens to be Lemon's ex. Actually, anything Lemon-related, I fast-forward. But I really do love him and he's a good friend.




So it's over, Zoe and Wade is no more. Please let it come back soon !!

Teen Wolf : The Fury Thing


With everything that's been going on I didn't catch up on Teen Wolf ! Well here it comes.




So Scott, Stiles and Stiles' dad were brainstorming about the mysterious killer and how to prove it's that guy that almost drowned. And they got to the conclusion that they needed to see the evidence at the station. So they go and the ex-sheriff manages to get them in. That's where it all goes to crap.

 

 So they watched the hospital's security footage and noticed that the creepy dude was at the hospital and that he talked to Scott's mom. So they call her and ask her to come in and tell the police what she saw. But creepy dude arrives.




So they're just waiting for Scott's mom while Jackson kills every police officer he sees. See that's the kind of thing I'm gonna miss this year ...




Anyway when all that was happening, Derek was waking up ! And good surprise, he's still the Alpha ! Yay ! The black veterinarian guy who's always there and always knows everything about everything tells him to not trust the big bad from season 1 and to go to Scott.




So he does. Because he's just so damn perfect. And oh the relief for Scott and Stiles.




But it was too good to be true. Or at least too easy. So Derek's paralyzed by the kamina's venom. Crap right ?




And then for some reason Jackson paralyzes Stiles too. So let's recap : Derek and Stiles are out of it, creepy dude is getting pissed, Jackson's just his usual quiet, submissive self, and Scott's mom should arrive any minute : Crap.




When she does arrive, creepy dude shoots Scott in front of her. So she's all "oh my god no let me look at him" but really it's just a bullet, Scott's fine but she doesn't know that. That's kind of a hard night for Scott and it's only gonna get worse.




See, even after they deleted all the evidence that could have led back to creepy dude, he still doesn't want to go because that's not exactly what he came there for. Yeah, his major problem right now is that he's becoming a kanima.




I love the two of them together.




Meanwhile, at the house of doom, The Argents are planning on going to the station to kill Derek.




So they get there, shoot around a little, throw a couple grenade things while Grandpa Argent is being poetic, quoting Shakespeare. I gotta say I kind of liked that "Well, let's give 'em some love" thing.




When Scott's running around trying to find something or someone, who the hell knows, he comes across Grandpa Argent who basically just tells him to go and leave the creepy dude and Jackson to them. In doing so, he's abundantly clear about the little secret deal they have. And Derek hears it all. Awwww poor baby ...




That episode was great, I mean there was action, blood, revelations, conflict, unresolved issues here and there, but it was missing one thing : the big bad. I like that guy, he's fun ! And he only got one scene in that episode and he didn't say a word he just witnessed Grandpa Argent fraternizing with the enemy.




Ha ! There ! I knew it ! I said it before and I was right, there was always something weird between Grandpa Argent and the kamina and there it is ! The creepy hand touching !




I didn't talk about Alison and her sudden I-want-Derek-dead mood, or that Creepy dude was into her, or that she had a weird moment with Scott where she threatened him with a crossbow, or that she's a waste of space because I simply don't care about her ! Same way I don't care about Scott, except worse.
Because I care about Scott as long as he has something to do with Derek whereas Alison just doesn't exist for me. There's still 2 episodes I haven't talked about ! Coming soon ...

Hart of Dixie : Jealous And Self-Destructive Wade


Hart of Dixie is a nice show about friendship and acceptance, but let's face it the real reason it's so awesome is Wilson Bethel. And the effect he has on our good Dr Hart !




Well this has been a lazy summer ! I'd started talking about the two of them but I didn't really get to the parts I love most ! Where it's all about subtlety.




So in a an episode of season 1, Zoe meets a cute guy at the Hammer Jammer ! His name is Jesse, he's funny, nice, easy-going and perfect ! But he's Wade's brother. Zoe discovers this somewhat important piece of trivia when going to stupid George's stupid bachelor party weekend or whatever !




We quickly learn that Wade and Jesse have a LOT of unresolved issues. They just don't get along there's the whole jealousy between brothers thing which is magnified by the fact that their dad is the "town drunk".




Anyway, things get heated between the bros and of course when the conversation drifts back to Zoe, Wade lashes out and says a whole bunch of awful things about her and, oh surprise, she's standing a few feet away from them looking like a lost puppy.




You got to give it to her, girl can look hurt.




And oh this shot ! It only lasts for a second but it's worth a 2h documentary ! I mean that look, come on ! Lost puppy ... Guilty lost puppy ! Awwww.




But that moment was mostly awkward, they just look at each other and look like the want to be anywhere else in the world ! But later comes the confrontation.




Zoe is really just a sweet ball of sweetness .. She's angry and hurt and it's just so damn cute ! And she's giving him a chance to take it back and apologize but this episode is in the distancing era. So Wade is just too happy to get an opportunity to prove he doesn't like her, to make her feel better.




What I love about Zoe is that after that conversation she "breaks up" with Jesse, they only met like a few hours before but still ! Wade's being an ass and she can date his brother if she wants to but no, it's not right so she puts an end to it.




And she's looking past Jesse, right at Wade. Awwwwww ! She's actually a really fragile girl, easily hurt and Wade was really a gigantic ass on that one.




 My god these characters are awesome, I cannot wait for the season 2 premiere ! October can't get here fast enough !

Teen Wolf : The Badass Is No More

Wow, I really love this show.




How did I not see this ?! That dude (I don't even know his name) was always creepy, and they weren't subtle about it either, I mean the thing with the photos, come on ! It was right here and I didn't see it.




Well I feel better knowing who's controlling Jackson (by the way, I'm just realizing it now but I finally learned his name !), I still thought it was Grandpa Argent - but it's not the most interesting thing on the show or in this episode. So let's move on to Derek.




Derek and Scott had a little conversation at the very beginning of the episode, - they're having less and less scenes together ... Anyway, it was amazing. It's the first time I notice, maybe it was always this way I don't know but I had a revelation : they're a couple.




"You always are keeping something from me !"
"Well maybe I do it to protect you."
"Doesn't me being part of you pack mean no more secrets ?"

I mean come on, what the hell is that ? Scott is suddenly an insecure needy girlfriend and Derek the strong and protective, more experienced boyfriend. They are so gay ... It's adorable !




Another sweet moment was when Derek had to lock up everyone in his pack (except for Scott). Of course the chains didn't hold and he was facing Erica and the black guy, who were out of their freaking mind.


LOVE this shot ...


But Isaac managed to control the power the moon had over him thus following in Derek's footsteps. And also he helped him restrain the 2 others since Scott was nowhere to be seen. As usual. 




But then of course stupid Lydia went ahead with her plan of screwing up everything they've worked for in season 1. Yay great idea ! I thought she was supposed to be smart ! Just because the big bad from season 1 (no I do not remember his name, I'll look it up later) threatened to kill everyone at her party even though he's buried, as in underground and, most importantly, DEAD ! They've been developing her character lately and basically all they've showed us is how clever (and tortured) she is. Couldn't she use that cute little head of hers to think for just a second and see it was an empty threat ?




I guess she couldn't. I hate this shot, a nervous and beaten Derek, what has this world come to ?




So the big bad is back ! At least I'm not worrying about the lack of storylines ..




Also, the death of Alison's mother made me cry. Yes I'm a girl and I cry. Uuughh. No but seriously it was a horribly sad and tragic moment, and I feel a little more sympathy toward Alison's dad, whom I don't think of as "that guy from the Secret Circle" anymore. I want to see the next episode so badly ! The kamina thing is pretty much over for me but I want to see Derek and ... the guy from season 1.
