[jacfletch]

if this is just going to make you miserable please ignore this but if it won't ruin your mood I'm interested in everything you didn't like about last week?

i havent watched the ep since it aired so these are things that i remember being annoyed about but i dont have the energy to find specifics from the ep or fact check myself so if something is blatantly wrong just let me know lmao

before i even get into anything specific, the biggest “issue” for me was how weirdly it was written. there were only 2 storylines whereas there’s usually 3 and i get that they probably wanted to do more scenes abt jac & chloe’s respective storylines, but having 2 DEEPLY emotional and dark ones without anything to break them up was a mistake imo. either commit fully to showing jac in the ward by giving her her own episode (they couldve made the joseph ep 3 storylines and this 1 only jac’s if they were worried there were too many jac eps) or let us actually breathe between a mental breakdown & the aftermath of rape. they couldve thrown some donna and xav scenes in there or some extra dofty if they were desperate, but only 2 storylines, writing wise, messed up the pacing of the episode pretty badly. we were sad about one thing and then we were sad about another thing and there was just NO break and it the episode left me feeling really...bad and gross

in regards to jacs storyline, i dont like that they didnt explain ANYTHING. like in my last ask, someone explained to me some of the process of being sectioned and yet there was none of that in the episode???? hello??? if this sl is about the important of getting help then show us how she’s gonna do that??? what does sectioning entail bc all we saw was jac negotiating taking meds and sitting in rooms alone. and i dont mind that jac lashed out at fletch or even sacha because i expect that from her, but i dont like that she actually slapped sacha and i dont like how they wrote it that sacha was more “i feel bad that youre in here” instead of how he probably wouldve been by putting her first, and then we couldve had a scene with him and fletch or him and essie talking abt his guilt. whatever. i didnt like it. i didnt like how obvious they were with the “3 wise men” thing either but thats just being nitpicky. i didnt like how a lot of things went unexplained like that woman that we were supposed to think was a metaphor but it didnt hold much weight or how jac actually hurt her hand. or even how long jac had been there bc it seemed like it mightve been a day or 2 but elliot JUST had surgery and he’s already checked himself out and is walking around? it just doesnt make sense. and the acting was good like...im never gonna say rosie isn’t performing her most bc she clearly is and i think bob and paul and alex did really well also, but the dialogue was so.....it aint it. like it was flat and lifeless and felt like they were going through the motions of what should be said but it seemed to ME that once jacs actual breakdown was over, the writers didnt really know what they were doing or how to say what they wanted to say. the jac/elliot scene was nice but other than that i cant pinpoint one scene of her in the ward that was actually stand out and made the rest worth it.

and then there’s chloe’s storyline. oh boy. i have gripe after gripe with her storyline and its 95% about how for some reason its about cameron? chloe was abused and raped and is now pregnant with evans baby but there’s more time spent on how cam’s dealing with the guilt of not helping evan??? litcherally don’t care about how he feels cos hes a shit doctor so i dont think if cam had tried to help him then evan would still be alive. anyway. i dont like how nicky was all over chloe during the episode and i understood how she was trying to help but she wasnt and she felt very overbearing. i love nicky and one of the things i love about her is how much she cares and what a dumbass she is so this made sense for her but even i felt a little claustrophobic with her (and cam) being on top of chloe every second of the episode. and then evan’s sister coming didnt feel like a natural progression of the sl it just felt like they were adding more trauma onto chloe. im tired of them piling shit onto her like. once she has an abortion can we please just let her live for a little??? sorry just dlgkjdf holby hates her so much bc even when theyre piling all this onto her, theyre not even giving her time to process or react to any of it?? they always make it about other people. and the last thing i have to say is what the FUCK was that last scene with cam???? like genuinely. what in the goddamn hell????
