geebsTV commentary:
Degrassi- Are you freaking kidding me?! Okay, so Adam doesn't up getting bashed like some spoiler guessed. Which would have been way dark, even for this show. Nope, its a friggin texting and driving PSA! Imogen (who I did not realize was totally a manic pixie girl this whole time) goes for a walk with Adam, they get caught in a downpour and she's all, sure, I'll just change in front of him! Between that and Dallas' advice to go for it to get over Becky, he and Imogen make out, stopping when Drew catches them.
But its a good thing, because it just made Adam realize how much he loves Becky, trying to get with Imogen just made him feel worse, not better. So he can't wait, he has to call or text Becky. So he drives off from camp, trying to get a signal, which he does during the drive, and ends crashing into a tree while trying to text and drive.
I'm kinda pissed about how pointless this all is! First off, they already had a texting and driving PSA already I thought, when the crazy girl Dave slept with ended up getting run over? Secondly, Adam and Becky were together all of 5 seconds before she had to go to Florida. They hardly had any time at all? And they just friggin killed off a character when Cam committed suicide, and had the gf having to deal with the death with Maya- she's still dealing with it. Now they're gonna use this to give Becky a crisis of faith and be all rebellious too?! What the shit, its fine to recycle plot lines, but wait a few years, not a few episodes!
Oh, and Ally gets Jenna and Connor back together (I didn't even realize they broke up over that whole him not wanting to have sex thing!) and Maya makes up with Tristan and sees Miles isn't shitty 100% of the time. He's still kinda a dick, but he has his good days.
Burn Notice- Seriously, I'm skeptical! With all the surveillance James has on the gang, even knowing Maddie's schedule, I cannot believe he does not know Michael is still working with the CIA to try and take him down.
That was interesting at the end though, when James was going to execute that guy for leaving Fi behind. Now did Mike and friends not stop James when he asked them if he should stop because they didn't want to blow their cover, or because they kinda did want a little revenge for the guy almost getting Fi killed?
Wilfred- You know, I realize this show is a dark comedy, but it can get downright demented and almost serious rather quick. I mean, Wilfred's antics are outrageous, and he constantly sabotages Ryan. And sometimes its funny and kinda his own fault. And sometimes you have episodes like this. Where Wilfred is like the devil whispering in his ear, making all sorts of paranoid statements. Like Harry seems all nice and trying to make amends and fix his family. But then Wilfred as all, "Oh, but did you notice how he was subtly undermining everyone and criticizing them!?" So then Ryan blows up at his dad, finally revealed his attempted suicide. His dad is very sorry and says all he's been trying to do is get his family back. And he really seems sincere.
But then Wilfred comes in again all, "Oh, he purposely riled up your mom so she'd make a psychotic outburst, causing you to blow up at her, and then feel guilty and the blow up at his dad for making him blow up at his mom. But then it would be all cathartic and he'd be forgive his dad and want to be a family again!" Given that Wilfred is most likely just a figment of Ryan's imagination, is this what its like for schizos? I mean, nothing so comical as seeing a person in a dog suit (well, maybe something that crazy), but really just this crazy voice that will nitpick every little thing and see betrayal everywhere? Like, I'm a pretty paranoid guy, but these people, or at least the way they're portrayed in fiction make me look easy going by comparison, I think.
And its funny, because half the time, Wilfred is often just teaching Ryan a lesson, showing him how some attitude or behavior he has is more screwy than he realizes. And that those are the source of some current problem he has, not Wilfred's antics. But then like I said, you have times like this, where Wilfred seems like he's trying to drive Ryan legit insane. Yeah, he's kinda insane already, but like a non-functioning insane person rather than someone who's able to get by. I dunno, was Ryan's dad not being sincere, is he really being manipulative, or are we supposed to believe that Wilfred is fucking with Ryan and trying to lead him down a dark path?
Heh, I dunno why, but I did get a crack over their mom referring to Kristen as "Desdemona". Because she is kinda down for that, as we've seen in the past. But what the?! So Kristen actually made the drawing with Wilfred in it?
