They fridged the best female character on the show, just because John apparently needed some angst and man pain in his character development. What the hell. It was literally the only reason why they did it. They rushed the relationship to the romantic stage, just so that they could fridge her. Her fucking last words even allude to that.
WHAT THE FUCK.
Unless we find out that she's in a coma during the hiatus and then she's magically resurrected by Root and the Machine because this is a sci-fi show, I'm not even sure I'll keep watching. The quality had dropped this season, but this is really too much.
Ah. Um, I completely disagree that the quality has dropped this season. I've thought it's been miles better than parts of S2.
I also refuse to think of this as a fridging, and wilfully see John's attachment to Joss as platonic. That kiss was totally platonic. His regard completely platonic.
(Yes. I know. I can see why you say it is a fridging, and yeah, it was super unfortunate and made basically NO SENSE given what we've had before.)
I'm annoyed that this is the way they went about things, even though I am pretty sure it was because Taraji has other worked lined up and couldn't commit to the show anymore. Carter's not really a character you can just phase out or ship off to another country. But my 'I fucking cannot's were more fannish 'eek, how could you?' than actual outrage. I'm heartbroken over it, wish she'd gone down more in a blaze of glory, but I still trust the show.
My problems with this season are several, mostly that the plot twists are always either weird (he's not a stalker! here, have a kid! even if he already has an adoptive mom!), or just do not make sense (you're a conman, but hey, keep doing your hypnotherapist thing in another city, nothing wrong with that). We had no scenes with Harold and John truly interacting so far, and the two main bad guys were both put into different locked rooms as if the writers just didn't know what to do with them. The only episode I truly appreciated was Shaw's
( ... )
Yeah, me too. And after that forced and very low-grade fanfic type love scene, too; it made me squirm to hear them both spouting such poor quality dialogue.
I'm astonished it wasn't leaked in advance, though ...
I am still refusing to think of it as a love scene. It makes so little sense with everything we've been given so far that, to me, it must be a platonic outpouring of love. And I will stick my fingers in my ears and la la la forever on the subject.
