Ikr They have so many sparks when they are together

ZW are so good together I can see why so many love them.

Is it just me that thinks this is intentionally done by the writers??? Yes, I do think they wanted George to come off better to some people. But I also think they wanted the audience to have questions, like "why is he changing his mind so quickly and making all these declarations, can we trust what he's saying?" Stuff like that. Just because they wanted it to sound pretty doesn't mean they wanted everyone to eat up his words and trust him completely. Like everyone has said, he's said similar things to Lemon days before. Highly doubt we're supposed to completely ignore this. LG from what I've seen doesn't say much in interviews and plays coy. George has been written with flaws just like Wade, it's not like the writers don't know that, these characters are theirs, unless they don't know their own characters.

IDK....yeah, I absolutely DO think that they wanted more people to like GZ initially, but just for the sake of the triangle, not because they want everyone to like GZ and dislike ZW, but because they wanted it more even at least at first.

To me they wanted people to like Wade. Ep. 2 and 4 in the very beginning of the season gave me that impression. The whole first half of the season except for 1 ep. was mainly ZW and so many amazing scenes and not ZG, and so many fell for them during this time. If they didn't want people to like the pairing, they wouldn't have done that. I have to trust that the writers knew what they were writing. If they didn't intend the show to be a triangle before it started, I'm guessing they had to have fully changed their minds by the time they actually got into writing, because it was a full on love triangle by ep. 2.

I don't know, when I ship I always go with my gut instinct and what couple I really *feel* from the narrative shown, and there were things about ZW that stood out from the beginning, like ep. 2-4, and it had nothing to do with the bad boy thing....I've shipped a lot and I've shipped all types of pairings. I definitely don't automatically go for the bad boy, very far from it...in fact I don't see Wade as one...bad boys are supposed to be "dangerous" or have that element of danger and that's not there with Wade. He's a good guy who can be immature, insecure, and in the past a playboy.

It comes down to portraying two different guys and two different types of romance, but I feel ZW has been portayed as the one that seems like it can't work but then eventually becomes a whole lot more and with the connection that has always been there (symbolized by the fuse box even from the pilot). ZW is the type of romance that the characters themselves don't consider at first but ends up being everything they didn't know they wanted. If you know what I mean?

My honest impression? George is this guy Zoe was infatuated with from the start and that she built up in her head but then later down the line could really realize that she is not right for. I've believed there's an important reason they've portrayed Zoe as not being experienced in love and fixating on George as soon as she came in from NY. This is when she was missing NY and was vulnerable, and had a "type" that she believed was right for her from NY and her mother's influence. George is EXACTLY the type of guy Zoe would have gone for in NY. But now that she's in Bluebell and she's questioning her life and evolving is what she thought she wanted before going to be what she ends up wanting????............ ZG will happen of course at some point but I don't think it will be all that Zoe had imagined.

I agree with all this, except I think they already have something real..their friendship, and they've always had that spark and intangible connection (which is why I love that the fuse box is used throughout the show with them). They have that friendship and although they've both made mistakes with each other Wade has been there for Zoe and Zoe has started to see that there's more to him than meets the eye, not to even mention the good things Wade has done that she doesn't know about. She's already calling him out about his walls, that's a good start.

I don't think it's love yet or anything, but I do think Wade is a farther along then Zoe as far as feelings are concerned. He just won't admit it right now of course because of the George factor and his insecurities.

Tracie76

Great insight. I agree with you. I don't think the intention was to be pro GZ at all. I do think they are trying to get more people to like George or understand him more. And they do intend to show him as having more flaws. I just sometimes wonder at the execution of it. I think they are so committed to this triangle idea and that it actually is the weakest part for me. Sometimes it seems like to get it to work that is when we start getting angry Wade like last season and assy Wade in the first episode. Yes both traits are there but he was never that harsh at the beginning of the season. A smart ass yes. I just wish they'd find a way to write for GZ that didn't have to come at the expense of Wade's character.

I don't know when they intended the triangle but I do agree the writing was there from the beginning to set it up that way. I think when they initially conceived the show they thought of Zoe and George as the it couple. The writing is there to support that. And RB gave an interview recently that does confirm that was the plan. Then they started developing Wade's character. I think that most is due to WB and the ability he has with the character. They must have realized that they had something and went with it. The first part of last season was very pro-ZW. I don't think they realized how well ZW would catch on as a couple let alone Wade as a character. I'm with you.

And again in agreement on the description of both types of romances. As for the real comment. I do think that Zoe and Wade have something real, but it is in the very beginning stages. I think I was referring to a real relationship not their connection. The connection has been there since early on. I actually think that Zoe and Wade get each other. That is why he is able to push her buttons. He knows what works. And again as you stated she is starting to get him too. Last season she never would have recognized that the angry outbursts were his walls coming up and him retreating. She knew immediately this time what he was doing. I think she was able to finally see the real him that night (which unfortunately we won't ever get to see). He had no reason at all to have any walls up that night. He was in a good place and thought they were moving forward. She had come to him instead of it being the other way. She chose to be with him.

And honestly I think she made her choice that night of the fuse box. I think she wanted to be with Wade and just wanted him to give her something anything to give her reason to pick him. In the end it didn't matter because that is essentially what she did anyway. I think that night she decided to see where things would go with Wade.

Hope137

I really enjoyed your post. I never thought of it that way. I took the pessimistic road (from a Z/W shipper's perspective) and assumed the writers were trying to get us to love George. Yes, to even out the triangle, but also because they screwed up their "it" relationship by making most fans like Wade better. You could definitely be right, though: The writers know that not everyone will buy what George is selling, so to speak .

Again, good point. They introduced the love triangle and particularly the Z/W dynamic early on. If they didn't want people to love Wade, they're terrible writers. I forget that what we see on our screens was deliberately set up by the writers. Why set something great up only to disappoint the majority of your fans?

I've often thought this but have never been able to articulate it so well. George is her connection to NY. Their similarities and love for NY is the basis of their relationship. However, this whole show is centered around Zoe moving to Alabama, getting out of her comfort zone, and changing as a person. From a narrative standpoint, her developing a relationship with Wade makes more sense. Of course this is my opinion. I'm sure G/Z fans would say otherwise.

I like this thought. I did get the vibe that Zoe would have chosen Wade if he would've stepped up and thrown his hat, instead of his pants, into the ring. However, I do think Zoe's words to George in the cafe were genuine. But in the moment, the way she was feeling the night after her A+ sex (and not to mention the "connection") with Wade, I think she would've chosen him. I guess we'll never find out, will we?

Zapple

I'm waiting for the baby goat to cry out now! Seriously though ITA that Z was all about W in that episode underneath all the idyllic seeming ZG scenes. From the first moment, it's W she's is pursuing, wanting to know his feelings and all, not G. Even the scene in the cafe, although I think it's genuine because letting go of your fantasy guy overnight is not easy by any means, I was also struck by how disappointed she sounded when she said that her night with W was just a way to get over G "Apparently, that's it". I saw it as her saying that in reaction to what W is trying to make her think by being dismissive and she seemed pretty down about it because she was hoping for more.

I agree, but like Tracie, I think they were clumsy in the way they did it then as they've been before by having W come off to harsh.

Oh I have no doubt in my mind that they wanted a triangle from very early on - like you said, I fell in love with ZW as early as 2 and 3, mainly because of the obvious spark that they had onscreen. They are just so much fun to watch together

Totally agree about the gut feeling thing and it has been telling me that ZW are it almost from the start (except the pilot in fact). I admit to liking the love-hate relationship type of thing a lot, but I also just go with what I feel from the story I'm seeing develop. The development between ZW seems to be organic and to lead to them being together in the end. Also, one of the things that made me love W so much was the gumbo and it's about as far from being a bad boy as you can get. Like Tracie said, he's a smart ass and I love his funny zingers and the way he likes to get under Z's skin all the time, but it's the underlaying sweetness that makes him so great also.

I know exactly what you mean and I totally agree with it. I feel like it's between the one you want (rational) and the one you need (emotional). Z has always had her plans and G fits it so well, yet the whole point of her coming to Bluebell was to get to know her heart and I think she's finding out that you can't rationalize who you fall for and surprisingly for her, it's W that gets under her skin and that she can't seem to shake off.

Absolutely they do - plus they have something else: they know each other. Not just in a casual way, but they've actually seen the best and worst in each other and still want to be around the other person. That's a great foundation to build a relationship on IMO.

Hope137

I so agree about the cafe scene. She was saying sweet things to George as she was rejecting him, and I do think she has genuine feelings for him, but the "Apparently, that's it" was revealing.

I also agree about the Pilot: That's the only one where I strongly felt it was G/Z we were supposed to root for. Oh, and maybe Destiny & Denial because there were no W/Z scenes (I don't think) and they brought Tansy into the mix.
