citrusjava(all the people I have not replied to - sorry! These have not been the easies few days....)
I didn't particularly like Eileen - I didn't dislike her, and the actress seems cool - but beyond what the actress brought to the role, mostly all we got was "she's so badass".... I find that so - just - I would have appreciated more. The representation seems to have been good/appreciated, so yay on that, but come on, please, you're Robbie fuckin Thompson, please put more into this ep's characters....??
Mildred made me super uncomfortable - had there not been the thing abou Dean yes being interested, it would have read like nothing more than "old people are gross".... and even that was shaky, fetishized, and I felt was - like the people making this were not exactly sure whether it was a joke or for real ? I'm *sure* she was written to say the opposite, but for me it did not read that way .... and again, badass = very boring characterization, problematic to connect with etc.....
I never connected with Alex, I only connected with Clair on her first ep (mostly), nd I kinda try to like Jody, it's not that I dislike her, but again, I like the actress, could do with more characterization....
After the new ep is definitely would not want the Wayward Daughters theoretical spinoff....
I've watched the new ep a second time instead of sleeping to make sure - I didn't miss some awesome goodness, but it is just so badly written and just .... no....
Am I really the only person who feels this way?

Date: 2016-02-10 11:44 pm (UTC)I felt like the boys were uncomfortable - not critical so much as just utterly lost, because no one ever HAD this particular talk with THEM. And Dean's comments to Jody in the kitchen - "nice ambush" - seem to back that up. She wanted their support, but they were utterly clueless. They'd never been on either side of that type of conversation in their lives and were just totally uncomfortable with it.
I didn't feel like they were presented as being "in the right" AT ALL in that scene, I thought it was TOTALLY trying to say that Jody was being responsible and doing the right thing and due to their upbringing, they had no clue how to be a part of that. :/
