geebsTV Commentary:
Secret Life- So Ben proposes to Adrian and she says yes. Interesting, I'm curious if the show has decided to do Ricky/Amy and Ben/Adrian. Which is fine by me, I'm kinda pushing for Ben/Adrian.
Make It or Break It- Argh, WTF Steve?! I thought he was gonna finally man up and show his daughter that there are consequences for her heinous actions. But then he goes and falls for her sobs. He had a chance to redeem himself and possibly let what Lauren did come out in a way that's more favorable for the both of them. But now I'm sure someone else will find out what Lauren did, and that he has now covered it up and it will totally bite him in the ass. Particularly within regards to Summer.
Oh, and as I figured last week, Maeve was totally toast. But it seemed like that would be the only thing that would snap some sense into Kaylee.
And now for the obligatory DW commentary:
Is it me or does the game have way more couplings this time around? I mean, you always had Lu Bu/Diao Chan, Zhu Rong/Meng Huo, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce and the Qiaos (I forget which one was married to which?) and later Cao Pi and Zhen Ji and Zhuge Liang and Yu Ying. I mean, SSX and Liu Bei were married, but the game didn't highlight it as explicitly as the other couplings. Though in this one they specifically mention it and show them actually together for a scene. I am curious though, now was SSX upset because she was felt her husband's grief upon learning Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dead? Or was it because she knew that meant he would be going after her family since its the Wu's betrayal that caused their deaths.
But I digress. I guess since as I just mentioned two of the Suns had spouses who were also PCs, did they bring in Lian Shi so Sun Quan wouldn't be left out? Also, its interesting that in the previous games, I thought they kinda paired Guan Ping and Xing Cai since they're the son and daughter of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respectively. I mean, they had her protective of Liu Shan, but he wasn't a PC. But now that he is (and Ping dies at Fan Castle), they're together. Guan Yu's other son, Guan Suo is also a PC now, but he gets his own gf in Bao Sanniang. And man are they sickly sweet on each other.
Of course, Guan Suo is portrayed as kinda girly, but still a ladies man- in fact when you're going around Fan Castle before the actual battle, one of the soldiers you talk to is all, "What's that in his hair?" (referring to some sort of fancy comb or bow or whatever) and they're all, "Should we tell Guan Yu his son has something funny in his hair?"
Anyways. the last faction, Jin has its own coupling with Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji. Interestingly enough, I've only seen Meng Huo, Sima Zhao and Lu Bu fly into a rage if you defeat Zhu Rong, Wang or Diao Chan, respectively. I haven't seen that with the Qiaos, though that may just be because I haven't seen them in a stage with their hubbies. Nor have I seen Cao Pi and Zhen Ji together- in Story mode, they're opponents, as the only time she's in a battle is when she was still married to Yuan Shao's son and Cao Pi steals her away. In conquest mode, I've faced Cao Pi as Zhen Ji, and they do have an amusing conversation whenever they fight, all lovers quarrel like. Though I do know Zhuge Liang is pretty chill if you take out Yue Ying.
But yeah, I don't think the reverse happens, i.e., the chyx don't get pissed if you take out their husbands/bfs, which is kinda chauvinist. Also I'm kinda curious about Cai Wenji. As far as I can tell, she's not attached to anyone- again, it seems like all the girls are someone's girlfriend or wife, but she doesn't seem to be anyone's. I mean, Xing Cai's not exactly attached to Liu Shan, but she's definitely fond of him.
Oh, and while I do like Zhong Hui's character design (and the flying swords thing is a cool weapon) his voice doesn't match his look for me. Its very annoying and nasally. I was expecting something more boyish sounding (though no less arrogant than his current voice). But I guess they already have a lot of boys (Guan Ping, Guan Suo, Xiahou Ba, Liu Shan), I suppose they were trying for something different and it just didn't work.
