Thanks and the L Word

[ralst]

Thanks to everyone who answered my fandom for a title question, they've come in very handy. Although as I didn't know half the fandoms it's made me once again realise how piss poor my tv watching has become lately. I would have answered individually but it would just have ended up with me writing 'cheers' fourteen times and that's a little mind

I think if they hadn't rushed the Alice/Tasha relationship and allowed us to get to know Tasha outside of her romance with Alice, that I'd have been much more into the pairing.

What got me about Alice and Tasha's argument about the war - after the t-shirt scene - was that they were actually arguing about two seperate, but related, issues and neither was listening to the other. Which is exactly how it is in real life, so they got it right, but as with real life it tends to annoy me and I want to scream at the tv for them to shut up and listen.

I still think Alice's behaviour towards the military closet was out of character. I can see her making the mistake at first, coming from a very open environment, but to keep doing it when Tasha had pointedly explained the problem, just seemed wrong. She might live in a bubble of acceptance but she also lives in a country where the political and religious right have a very strong and vocal agenda and, as a journalist, she would be more than aware of what can and does happen outside of her closed world.

Of all the new relationships Alice and Tasha is the only one that I feel could grow on me - if we're given more time to get to know Tasha and them as a couple - but only time will tell.

Talice? Not Alasha?

I think I prefer Talice - maybe Alisha. (Actually that reminds me of Papi so perhaps not! Although I quite liked ol' Pops in the end.)

Unrelatedly - I hope that Helena gets a better run next season cause that really was a useless storyline. Although I enjoyed the season a lot there were too many storylines and not enough time for each one - there was too much flotsam that should have been jetsam. Why introduce Catherine at all? Wouldn't it have been more fun to introduce Helena to the world of poverty and shoes that only cost $50 and grifting via say Papi?

Damn it Ralst we should be the writers! (As long as someone else writes the endings for us...)

I couldn't agree more. Poor Helena, stuck with such a pointless storyline when the opening was there for something really good. They seemed to add new characters left and right until they were well passed saturation point. They needed some internal stories to keep the numbers down.

If only we were the writes you could have your Talice and we could both make sure Helena got a decent storyline and love interest. And we wouldn't have to worry about endings as this show never really seems to do them.
