    They can “part of the plan” all they want. I watched the first several seasons. The plan was Lost Boy + Lost Girl find a family. Nothing anyone says will ever, ever convince me otherwise. The story was AMAZING, plotted out and sprinkled throughout. And then they killed a man for a ship. It is what it is, you know? The industry is political and stuff happens behind the scenes and it sucks. MOSTLY, I’m disappointed in myself for choosing to ignore what I know about the industry. This ain’t my first rodeo (though I can safely say it will be my last.)

    ^Every word of it is true, RG.

    This “relationship” (which isn’t even a relationship!!) is so unhealthy, it makes me nauseous.

    The impossible badness of it all just astounds me. They just can’t go that way. They just can’t.

    ETA: There is this, and I am going to hope and PRAY this is Adam tipping his hat, indicitive of what we’ll see on Sunday. Because I literally cannot go from now until then thinking it is going to be the other.

    Please. Please please please tell me this is NOT the story.

    Guy 1 –

    Is admittedly in love with girl, girl is admittedly in love with him. Guy and girl have similar concepts of future hopes and wishes. Guy makes two errors – one self-sacrifice out of the best intentions, second an inaction out of fear. Guy apologies for errors, states greatest regrets of life, makes it clear he still loves her, would like a relationship. Is blatantly honest about history and past and states that girl has every right to feel whatever and however she feels (even if it is hurtful to him.) Offers up a non-threatening option to commence relationship and states he will back off if she is not interested. Follows through. Sacrifices self on multiple occasions for girl. Also, listens to girl, makes girl laugh and is one of only TWO people girl has ever stated she loved in whole life.

    Guy 2 –

    States he is in love with girl. Girl does not reciprocate. Has made countless errors – including lying to girl, misleading girl, deceiving girl, omitting truths and physically endangering/harming girl on more than one occasion. NEVER APOLOGIZES for any of it. Guy states he is interested and would like a relationship. Girl is lukewarm. Guy states he WILL have her and continues to pursue her despite increasingly clear rejections. Guy performs “heroic” deeds for express purpose of looking good in girl’s eyes. Has vastly different idea of life and future than girl, tries to argue with girl about what she wants for her future. Is surprised to see girl smile, and pouts like a toddler when girl does not come running at his beck and call.

    PLEASE for the love of all that is good and left in humanity, PLEASE tell me this show is going to illustrate for us that Guy 1 is the guy we should all be looking for to complete our fairy tale.

    That is what they have shown so far. Show, stupid show, DO NOT do a 180 on us here. Please FOR THE LOVE follow through on what you have spent nearly three seasons setting up.

    Gaston was EXACTLY my thought, Jaxer. Exactly.

    Millie, this honestly has NOTHING to do with Baelfire. It has 112000% to do with how they may (potentially) be portraying abuse and manipulation as “romantic.” IT IS NOT OKAY and I am PRAYING that the show comes down on that side of the story on Sunday night. Because I just can’t deal with my anger if they don’t.

    Honest to goodness, if we end up with CS at the end of 322, I am going to have to stop watching the show… not because of any shippy anything but because of it perpetuating rape culture. Ugh, ugh… just ugh. I PRAY they are being idiots in what they are saying as they attempt to heighten suspense and “no spoilers,” and that they are not GENUINELY trying to tell us that “knocking down” the walls of a girl who has clearly, repeatedly said NOT INTERESTED is “romantic.” NO. It is not. It is that concept that puts untold numbers of women in destructive and dangerous relationships because they are taught that this BS is “romance.”

    You know what romance is? It’s “if you don’t show up, I’ll back off,” and, “I’m sorry, and “you can tell me anything” and then LETTING HER DO IT without anger or judgement. THAT is a loving, functional relationship. I hope and PRAY that I am correct that this show plans to illustrate it, plans to finish the non- relationship of CS for once and for all in the finale. Apart from shipping, MO322 or anything – please, TELL ME there is still some sense of responsibility in this world.
