reminder that tv shows are supposed to send a message and often times logic is besides the point.

you could excuse mike and els behavior in the beginning of s3, but the audience is supposed to find them annoying. you could defend mike at the airport but it’s supposed to be annoying. you could, of course, argue that el was wrong for hitting angela, but the creators want you to feel proud of her. you’re supposed to like miIeven after they reunite, but you’re also supposed to notice the couples in the finale.

#like if you’re annoyed with will in s4. that’s a you problem because they want you to feel sorry for him #you’re also supposed to feel conflicted about stncy and jncy #so many things are meant to create a certain reaction. they can be refuted and may be illogical #logically it’s bad that a girl smacks someone with a roller skate and gives her a concussion #but you are supposed to get excited about that #because you’re supposed to feel sorry for her and you want her to get revenge #eddie is supposed to be a loveable character. you could call him a hypocritical piece of shit but that’s not the initial message #that’s not to say that something is right just because you’re supposed to feel good about it #but it’s good to acknowledge that you are supposed to feel a certain way #so if you’re on mikes side in eps 1-2. that’s not the initial message they want you to receive #even if you’re right #is eddie a hypocrite and in the wrong? yes #but you’re supposed to like him. you know #talia talks (about the 80s monster show)
