Great vid, Lisa. 🙂
I’m not questioning Neal’s love for Emma or anything like that, I’m merely wondering why the writers even bothered to create her and Greg (and their affair for that matter) if it amounted to nothing since their both dead?
You may not question Neal’s love for Emma because of the existence of FianceeTamara, but many people do, (“He can’t truly love Emma if he moved on and fell in love with Tamara,” is a very common argument for the opposing side in the ship debate). I think Tamara was there because they needed an obstacle to stop SF from hashing out their emo stuff right off the bat. If they’d already been able to be open and honest with each other, they couldn’t have written the dramatic, “I love you”s over the portal, and couldn’t be writing potential triangle angst right now. They wanna draw out the resolution of SF’s true feelings for each other for maximum drama and “will they, won’t they”, and him being engaged to Tamara was an effective roadblock.
