yeah, like I said. It was a meh episode. I will keep watching because the show deserves a little bit of my trust to Make It Right since I've enjoyed it for so many seasons, but I was pretty MEH after this last episode.
Skeevy didn't BEGIN to cover it. Like, I could've dealt with Renee and Vlad, by itself. I would've watched that, though I STILL would've been disappointed that they gave Renee DIRTY RAPIST as her dramatic tension, when she's supposed to be paralleling Jack and they'd NEVER give that to Jack. I would've hatehatehated Dana's storyline all by itself, regardless. But it's this perfect storm of two concurrent storyline where women are being horribly victimized with this echo to another victimization storyline on another show, due to the actors involved.
I'll keep watching, but... I'm not as motivated about it. Which saddens me, because it's motherfucking 24.
I was more offended by the Renee aspect because she's a badass chick and I hate to see her victimized. Katee and her stupid storyline is beyond awful and makes me yearn for the days of silly angry sexual tension between Lesbo Carrie and Michelle, but at least I don't expect Katee's dumb storyline to be any good. Renee getting dragged into it just angered me a lot.
Which is a shame because right up until that last episode, I have really been enjoying the season. Hopefully they'll scale back. Is Terry Goodkind a guest writer or something this season, wtf.
I think I'm slightly more ok with Renee because I feel like Vlad is going to get what's coming to him via Renee in some totally badass way and soon, as opposed to Katee whose storyline has dragged and dragged and dragged and it's just endless fear and terror from her while she's progressively failing at her job because of it. We've at least got Renee getting into Vlad's face and still doing her job. Renee is still competent whereas Dana is just endless endless fail.
Same here. I really enjoyed the first four episodes. But now it's such a drag. Meh.
Bad enough with the turn in Renee's storyline and the continued grossness of Dana's. Like, Renee is supposed to be paralleling Jack in S2. WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HAVE TO PUT IN A FUCKING RAPIST AS HER TRAUMA. Oh right, because she's a woman. Worse still, every time CKR's character, Vlad, gets all creepy with her, I'm reminded of Leoben being creepy with Starbuck, because Katee Sackhoff is in the cast. And oh, what's her character doing? GETTING THROWN AROUND AND THREATENED. I have to watch her cower and fear, wonderfully echoed in my head by Starbuck's turn being terrorized by Leoben. WORD WORD AND WORD. All the non-con vibes are seriously squicking me out and are inhibiting my enjoyment of the show. :( :( :(
And here I was hoping we'd get some hotass Renee and Vlad being gorgeous and hot and criminal together. Those surveillance photos, man. INSTEAD WE HAVE THIS. URGH.
The Renee-Vlad arc went in NO, NO GOD NO-direction pretty quickly. I'm sad that the 24 ptb have to resort to this to create drama and tension. SO DISAPPOINTED.
