>< I loved the ep, but I hated it so much it wasn't funny.
+ Nate x Beth = OTP. Trufax. (Pffft, I've been denying canon since RTD pulled that stunt with the Donna-Doctor 'n the Doctor-Donna last summer, so why not carry it over to ES?)
+ Taylor/Patti bonding moment = totally saved the ep for me, along with all the Matt x Taylor moments. It was good to see Patti being nice to Taylor, and even more so with that "When have you ever known me to be wrong about something?" line. <3
+ Frank's "Let me take care of your brother for once" line? Also ep-saving.
+ The ending killed it. My word, Nate killed me with the "You're just like dad!" bit, and then Eli's reaction? And that to the whole "Oh yah, I'm just gonna black out in your living room now!" bit and the, y'know, LACK of a next ep preview, and this ending killed me.
ABC certainly does know how to piss off viewers, don't they? (They're taking notes from Joss 'n Rusty, honestly. >< )
"Nate x Beth = OTP" - Exactly. Time to FiwF. (fix it with fic)
The whole Taylor storyline was great, but like I said, I wished they'd spent more time on Taylor and Matt's fight - there was so much unsaid. I thought Taylor's speech at the end about all the fights they would have in the future was excellent and I really have made peace with this character. I flat out hated her in early season 1 - hated her with Eli from the very first episode - but I was totally on her side in this ep. Her indecision and turmoil rang very true. Just glad it turned out okay so they didn't have to make that gut-wrenchingly hard decision in the end...
And LOLZ to Matt's makeup sex line. ♥
The ending slayed me - before I'd watched it, when I heard that Eli had a bloody nose at the end of the ep, I just assumed Nate punched him. But to have it be a medical problem? I was shocked. The second wave of dismay was when I realized immediately after that we may not find out what happens for some time.
Dx My problem? Well, ok, two (maybe three) problems:
1. I have a 4-chap ES fic in-progress that was s'pposed to be out tonight/tomorrow but, because of Amazon/hectic life in general, didn't make it. 2. When I finally had time to write it, I made the mistake of buying the Dramacon: Ultimate Edition (and reading the whole thing in one night), which has left me with too much DCon inspiritation (oh yes, it's a word: inspiring irritation/irritating inspiration) and not enough ES inspiration. 3. I've got the first chapter done, and I hate it. And the third chapter was killed by last night's ep (and the second 'n fourth by other little annoyances in the show).
...that being said, I'm sitting down tomorrow, redoing Ch1, saying "PISS OFF!" to canon (in that grand RTD way I've developed since discovering Who), and trying to finish it. And leaving DCon alone. Dx
What's pissed me off about ABC: I've heard summer at least if ever. The fact that they have these next four eps DONE and are considering not even showing them has pissed me off
( ... )
Having no Maggie or Jordan in the episode completely sucked, if indeed it's the last episode we see. Especially Jordan when you consider the size of his fan base.
Maybe we'll be in luck the S2 DVDs will be released soon... I'm clinging at straws here, I know.
Glad to hear you're ficcing. Canon be damned, I say!
