–Two Neal shout outs. I’ll begrudgingly accept them except what should be explored is dealing with this death. It’s insulting to anyone who has ever lost a parent or a child to think that you can get over this kind of emotional trauma in a few days.
I loved the snarky review (and don’t sell yourself short RG…there was more than enough snark in there to make me both laugh a lot and very happy that this show is no longer on my list of shows to watch) but this part right here is what still rubs me the wrong way. We were told back when it happened that Neal’s death was part of some ‘big, bold storytelling choice’ and yet they aren’t even dealing with it on the show. They actually lumped Neal into a group with Graham (who Emma barely knew) and Walsh (a freaking flying monkey) when we know for a canon fact that Neal was SO much more to Emma, especially since you know, they freaking SHARE A CHILD TOGETHER. It’s ridiculous how this show treats death like it’s no big deal for anyone. A close friend of mine from college lost her mom on Friday morning (the funeral is tomorrow) and I know for a fact that she’s not okay about it and probably won’t ever be okay (she still has moments over losing her dad which happened several years ago). My best friend lost her mom years ago and there are still moments where she gets sad and misses her presence. Another college friend of mine watched her husband die of cancer several years and is only just NOW stepping back into the dating pool again. YOU DO NOT GET OVER A DEATH IN A WEEK. I wish someone would write that on a pile of bricks and throw them into the two trolls LA offices. *flips a table* 😮
BTW-I’m glad the board is back up again. I was going crazy not having our haven available for me to rant in or flip tables in this morning, LOL 😉
