Rant: Nuke: No. Just... NO.

Sep 23, 2010 08:58

I spend a lot of time on the LuRe LJ and the Soapcentral board, discussing Luke and Reid and to some extent, Noah. Even a few weeks after Reid's death and one week after the show ended, I'm still upset, angry and bitter. I probably will be for a while, with the emphasis on BITTER. But my one silver lining in all of this, is the fact that both ( Read more... )

But my one silver lining in all of this, is the fact that both fanbases got screwed over.

I know that's pretty selfish, but I feel the same way.

I saw nothing in their final scenes that indicates a Nuke reunion in the future.

NGL, as I wrote here, the way Luke sort of leaned up into the kiss/didn't push Noah away really bothered me, but some people's thoughts (mainly, their suggesting Luke only let Noah kiss him as a goodbye sort of thing) made me feel marginally better about it.

What made me feel even better about it, however, was Luke's face both after the kiss and, earlier on, when Noah made that comment about WOAK being the place where they'd also shared their first kiss.

Which isn't to say that I didn't find that kiss so utterly wrong (and in poor taste) on so many levels!

there are still people who claim that Luke is still into Noah, was checking out his ass when Noah left

BWAHAHAHA! BRB LOLing MYSELF TO DEATH!

I'm as much of a pessimist as they come, but even I find that ridiculous! XD

and that writing an epilogue (by ( ... )

YOU DO KNOW THAT YOU WRITE THE MOST EPIC COMMENTS EVER, RIGHT???

I really take comfort in the fact that the Nukies got screwed over as well. And yes, our guy DIED, but at least our guy was Luke’s first choice. Luke was IN LOVE with REID<3333. Noah = DEFAULT choice. It doesn’t say much about their relationship, if it’s only based on the fact that they’re both alive and gay.

I actually thought Luke looked really exhausted and just wanted Noah to leave already. And it really was a goodbye kiss. Luke didn’t respond to it, imo and he looked pretty damn uncomfortable.

Sorry about the belated reply, bb, but I didn't want to write a rushed one and I had to go grape picking with my parents, yesterday... ^^''

HAHAHA, I TRY. All jokes aside, you're too sweet. And I'm glad I did because I missed chatting with you! I know I hardly ever post, but I hope we won't drift apart just because ATWT is over. *hugs* Oh well, hopefully my Prison Break rewatch will also help once I get around to doing it. ;D

.:cacklesnort:.

the fact that NOAH even considered kissing him and then actually did, while LUKE IS STILL GRIEVING, BECAUSE THE MAN HE’S IN LOVE WITH DIED A FEW DAYS AGO, did bother me.

I can't bring myself to blame Noah for wanting to, because, after all, you're not ( ... )

Like the fact that Luke and Reid didn’t go bowling or didn’t go see a movie, says anything about the status of their relationship. Please.

Deep down, I know it doesn't, because they knew the important parts about each other, after all; still, IMHO, it was such a (397th!) slap in the face! Not only did they have to make the fact that LuRe didn't make love (I know it sounds cheesy, but that's what I believe it would have been) canon - when it could have been left to off-screen speculation - (and in front of Noah, no less!), but they even had to take our chance of picturing them at the movies together (or something like that) away from us!

Can you say GIANT, COLOSSAL, EPIC FAIL?!

You see, BB, the thing about replying to comments, is that I apparently suck at it... I'm balancing two majors and am an honorary member of the Procrastinators Union, so my sincere apologies for this epic, EPIC fail<3.

I know I hardly ever post, but I hope we won't drift apart just because ATWT is over.
I'm sticking around LJ and the comm., so if you are too, then we're good. I love randomly replying to your comments in random entries, anyway XD.

I can't bring myself to blame Noah for wanting to, because, after all, you're not responsible of what you feel, but his acting on those feelings was inexcusable.
Exactly. I'm not even mad at Noah for still wanting to be with Luke, but the fact that he won't respect the fact that Luke really, really doesn't want to be with him and actually acting on it, while Luke is GRIEVING, pisses me off to no end. And I don't think Noah's necessarily a horrible person, but he just does these things that piss me off.

Mostly (other than the leaning up thing, that is), it bothers me that the writers ( ... )

You SO don't, bb. And even if you did, that would *clearly* make two of us, so no apologies necessary. ;-)

Ditto and yay! =D

A part of me is sort of dreading them because I don't know if I'll have time/the time difference will allow me to participate and I'd hate to miss them, but mostly I'm really looking forward to the Epic Re-watches we're going to have at lure_atwt; especially for earlier episodes.

Yeah. Other than sheer indignation on behalf of both Reid and Luke, I felt a ton of second-hand embarrassment for Noah while watching that scene. >.<
