This Week in TV: Characters Making Questionable, Disappointing Decisions (SN, TVD, Merlin, GG, etc)

[sherrilina]

Man, this seems to be "Characters Making Annoying Questionable Decision" Week on my TV Shows, it applies to all of them! :/ Though still a few good episodes besides that.

Let's start with SN, which I only watched last night, since I was busy marathoning s6 with paradisekendra on Friday, lol...(good times, and I like the DVD case art, the back of the plastic

I really didn't like the dress Gwen wore in the first ep, either, but the other dresses she wore (which you really get to see in ep 2) are much better. The one she were in 4x01 was just awkward. O_O I don't really give much credence to "period appropriateness" anymore (I feel like Morgana threw that out the window with the halter dress she wore in the first ep, and then there were Elena's pumps and 18th century dress =P) -- I just care if the outfits look good. =P (Which this one did not).

I thought you'd be happy over Uther if you ever saw the ep! He's pretty devastated, isn't he? Glad you got some shippy moments. <3

poor Lancelot though, in that scene with Gwen, he loved her first...:(Ugh, yeah, I feel terrible for him (I feel terrible for all of them whenever triangle shenanigans come up, tbh), but then I always think, "Well, this is why you do not abandon people in a forest." XD I don't mean it COMPLETELY, but that's my go-to thought. =P And hey, at least now he has Merlin (they are ridiculously adorable together

Lol, I'm glad even you as an uber-Gwen fan didn't like Gwen's dress, wasn't it awful? It looked like something a tween would wear or something...I mean, as I said, it's all fake!period anyway b/c there is no true period--the castle is 16th cent, tomatoes are post-discovery of New World, homework is modern, etc--but still, I feel Gwen's dress doesn't look old-fashioned at ALL as the other stuff sort of does (even Morgana's s1 dress looked like it could be Dark Ages-y a bit, IMO).

I thought you'd be happy over Uther if you ever saw the ep! He's pretty devastated, isn't he? Glad you got some shippy moments. <3

Lol, you know me so well! ;) Thanks...

Re: Dan/Blair: Yeah, I hope so, though there are actually still C/B shippers (like you see still questions sent to EW.com asking for C/B scoops, etc, ugh, prob teeny boppers), so who knows if they realize this...:/ In any case, I finally took the time to get myself a D/B icon since we last spoke! ;)

LOL, I am so proud of you! I remain lazy and have yet to get one.

And yeah, even in my 4x01 reaction post I touched on that. That outfit was all sorts of awkward.

Lol, the other night after looking at some D/B stuff on Tumblr I was like "ok gotta do this," I just got something, figured I could always switch it out later! :p

And oh yes, I'll have to check out your review now that I've finally watched!

[hmsharmony]

LOL, that wasn't an attempt to guilt you into reading my review. XD I only mentioned it because I wanted to assure you that you weren't alone. =P Feel free to read if you'd like, but, as expected, it's mostly filled with a ton of, "ARTHUR AND GWEN, GWEN, GWEN, MY HEART, GWEN, THE WRITERS ARE LETTING MORGANA BE SUBTLE, GWEN."

[sherrilina]

Lol I know, but I did mean to read it but held off at first b/c I hadn't seen the epp (but now I know the setup I find myself utterly not caring about spoilers anymore, showing how little I care overall now perhaps). ;)

In any case I think we can file Gwen's second dress choice under the same "Characters Making Questionable, Disappointing Decisions" banner! :p
