Also very humorous. I love this show just as you do and so many things in the script was so hard to take and I felt they were just thrown in to make us gasp and fume. I loved how Jay Ryan subtly steered the whole season in the right direction, no matter what the script said or the manipulating spoilers said. He always seems natural and Vincent's actions and emotions are convincingly portrayed. I also appreciate how Vincent was portrayed in this season. He may lie to himself about the motives of his actions but he has the intelligence and guts to admit it. Unlike some I could mention. <br /><br />yvonnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-70787496419345536992015-04-03T04:09:26.705-04:002015-04-03T04:09:26.705-04:00Love Cat's hesitation and unease at getting Ga...Love Cat's hesitation and unease at getting Gabe's keys. Have they even had the exclusive talk? I feel like everyone is acting like their bf and gf, but they could just be dating. I know people who have dated for months without being exclusive...Please note her positive giddiness to use V's keys in season 1...Yes it's between good and bad people or beasts and V is a good person/beast. "Most likely, the only thing this confrontation did was to make Vincent realize that Gabe may NOT be the greatest guy for Cat after all..." YES V was all okay yeah you're right you're better for her until Gabe kept talking. VC in the car trapped was great. I loved Cat's TOO Close line, too. It really shows how she is aware of his physical presence and proximity to her. Like she clearly stays away bc she can't handle herself around him, like is too drawn to him. Loved the hug between V and C and how Tess reacted and that Gabe saw it. LOL Is Cat drunk? He hasn't made up for everything. My god. She's ridic. OOC. I am so sick oh I am with Gabe beig said forty times every ep. My god. When I saw the end scene I was like my god I am not even V and I can't even take any more rejection. How many times are you going to tell this kid you don't want to be with him? I am so happy she ended up staying the night. Thank god bc I couldn't handle any more VC pain. V handles her attempt to "break up" with him so maturely and nicely. I think VC still feel attached and not completely broken up which is why Gabe tells her to tell V it is over when it kind of has been for a while, albeit not emotionally. And why she calls the sex breakup sex. I liked V picking her up and them sleeping together at the end. Mainly bc I was so desperate for GC to be over. Yes, it kind of looks like cat cheated, but were her and Gabe exclusive? I still wish they hadn't slept together until they were back together emotionally and until she was officially done with Gabe. The writers did not handle this reconciliation in the best way. I'm just glad this happened so they could get back together and I would not be forced to watch the Gabe and Cat vomit inducing show. "Cat was never really “with Gabe”. She knew it and Gabe knew it better than anyone, which is why he was trying so hard to force his way in and get Vincent out of the picture" I'll take this. Also, I love that Cat said they both made mistakes bc yes they did. I just wish there was no confusion after sleeping with V. I think Cat is lying to herself and Gabe really. I think that's what's going on. I feel like Cat took her time taking V back...Nicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-28039630641479885862014-11-24T16:16:15.869-04:002014-11-24T16:16:15.869-04:00I kinda feel Cat took her time to take V back...

Should Cat never ever forgive Vincent even if she loves him and he has changed and regrets his actions? <br /><br />I am really not trying to argue, I am honestly curious about your POV. How does not being able to forgive make you a better person?

He really redeemed himself.<br /><br />Finally, at the elevator when Catherine tells Vincent "You don't have to do this for me," he just shuts the door in her face. I cheered because we were spared the usual end of that sentence "I am with Gabe now" <br /><br />I found it extremely vexing that Catherine couldn't shoot Sam even though he was only three feet from her, she missed entirely. That makes me believe that she truly did try to kill Vincent in Man or Beast but she is such a bad shot, she missed his heart.<br /><br />The end scene is so beautiful it takes my breath away every time. He is so distressed that he scrapes the food into the trash, then throws the plate in behind it. That was poignant and sad to me. But when she just can't back away from him when he whispers "take care" I was able to breathe again. That scene was everything right. <br /><br />I am having withdrawal pains, so thank you for a little BATB to hold me over.<br /><br />Marsha<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-71959712508880314692014-11-22T15:59:02.322-04:002014-11-22T15:59:02.322-04:00Thanks Alex!

It is basically Hamlet in an MC setting and it has a great love story, however, keep in mind it is VERY gritty, very dark, but def worth watching TVEmpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428867353988526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-88349211590149820222014-11-22T15:04:08.717-04:002014-11-22T15:04:08.717-04:00Great and insightful review as always. I liked how...Great and insightful review as always. I liked how you pointed out that Sam does not have all his knives in the drawer (who is now “playing God” and “ above the law”?). Here is a strange dialog in the dungeon: JT, protecting Vincent: 'Sam is a pycho. He baited Vincent.' Gabe, derisively: 'From inside the cage?' . So what? Vincent should be immune against mental abuse? But neither JT nor Cath challenges Gabe's strange criticism though it is obvious that even we the viewers are supposed to think Gabe is unfair. And Sam's beast was curiously ineffective. What’s the point of having a beast if he is just going to kill people in a car crash?. So true.<br /><br />Cath's “If Vincent is dead, you are dead”, surely she is not meaning that she would take revenge? Where is her humanity?<br /><br />In this episode Vincent stops deluding himself and sees and takes what he wants. In stark contrast to Cath who keeps lying to everyone including herself. I have never admired Vincent more than in this episode. Jay Ryan does a great job. yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951122882739058919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-84256915624702297322014-11-22T13:45:35.772-04:002014-11-22T13:45:35.772-04:00I wish I had been watching SOA.

Like you I mostly liked this episode, because it had its really great moments.<br /><br />The gummy worms<br />JT giving such good advice to Vincent<br />the car scene was priceless<br />AND THE HUG <br /><br />What I personally did not like about it was that Catherine did not defend Vincent after he caught Sam. She knew darn well that he did this to help her and still she let Gabe run on. Okay, so he might have had a point legally (it kills me to say that he might be right), but the way he was talking down to Vincent and JT got my hackles up.<br /><br />And later at the precinct when she talks to Tess about NOT asking Vincent for help, because Gabe does not want him involved, she is exactly repeating his words and it is so sickening. Even Tess mocks her. Where is her own voice, where is her common sense, her instincts, her BRAINS? Where is the real Catherine Chandler? This imposter is just a puppet and Gabe is her puppet master. I just hate her being portrayed like that.<br /><br />And later, after hugging Vincent 'in the moment', she ruins it by apologizing to Gabe. Like you, I so do NOT agree with the writing here. And I would like to know - really would like to know - how Gabe has made up for everything he has done? And I also would like to know how and when he became a nice guy? He who ran around with a syringe ready to kill beasts/people in order to flatline them - what is NICE about that?<br /><br />When I first saw the episode, I was overwhelmed by the ending and just happy that they finally were back together. Then, after multiple watchings, I had some doubts about what this said about Catherine's character. I mean, she told all and sundry CONSTANTLY that she was with Gabe and even if that was a lie, I would have preferred her to make a clean break before going back to Vincent. But now I take a more understanding view and your explanation is great and makes a lot of sense and has helped me even further to be at peace with this ending. <br /><br />Oh, and it totally reminded me of Gone With The Wind where Rhett Butler carries Scarlet upstairs.<br /><br />But, and there is always a but - this goes only for this episode, because the writer of the next episode ruins my peace all over again. But that is for next Friday.<br /><br />For now thank you again for a very entertaining and insightful review.<br /><br />Barbara<br />Barbara Crawfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713073643028066347.post-60651994026880679882014-11-21T17:56:42.106-04:002014-11-21T17:56:42.106-04:00i loved this episode - a few storyline issues as u...i loved this episode - a few storyline issues as usual but overall very decent writing and some genius scenes - ditto to ALL u said regarding the car crash scene, the rescue/hug scene and the end scene. And yes, I agree this was such a beautiful, emotional scene and yes many refer to cat cheating on gabe but I don't see it like this at all.
