Lately, my only hope comes from an old Jim Carrey - Kate Winslet movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I thought of the film the moment Bay told Melody, "I wish I had never even met him." Here's a description of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from November 17, 2012 by Wael Khairy: (https://cinephilefix.wordpress.com/2...spotless-mind/) In retrospect, Joel realizes that his relationship with Clementine is one of the most important things in his life. Despite the fact that he sees flaws in her, he is willing to overlook them. Even after listening to a tape of her listing his worst flaws, he still wants to be in a relationship with her.Charlie Kauffman’s marvelous screenplay revolves around Joel (Jim Carrey), a soloist stuck in the repetitive formula of everyday life till he meets the spontaneously carefree Clementine (Kate Winslet). Their relationship escalates into a supposedly dead-end when he learns that she had him erased from her memory. Furious and confused, he contacts the inventor of this advanced process, Dr. Howard Mierzwaik (Tom Wilkinson). Out of sheer desperation he resorts to the only logical solution at the time, removing her from his memory as well. But as he re-experiences the passionate days of their earlier relationship, he falls in love with her all over again. The experience of having his memories erased allowed Joel to survey his relationship and realize the beautiful times outweigh the flaws. That's what I hope for Bay to realize about Emmett, but without a memory-erasing apparatus, I am not sure how she might arrive at such a place. She doesn't even have her box of memories to remind her of the good times with Emmett."It would be different....If we could just have another go around....Remember me....Try your best....Maybe we can." What the writers of Switched at Birth did, by reversing all of the iconic Bay & Emmett moments, is very much like a memory-erasing apparatus. But the writers didn't leave one of their iconic moments untouched, for Bay and Emmett to return, as a touchstone. For Bay & Emmett, there is no "Meet me in Montauk," but still, I hope that Bay & Emmett's impulses, instincts, and emotions will somehow lead them both to return to Blue River Road. And like Joel & Clementine, I hope Bay & Emmett will decide to enjoy it. __________________

Unlike any other TV series I have ever watched, I get the strongest feeling that the Switched at Birth showrunner resents certain groups of fans. From her tone, she seems exasperated with us, even when she is giving away props. In the past, as soon as she expressed her irritation toward a group of fans on social media, that storyline would take a bad turn. For some reason, I think she resented Bay and Emmett fans most of all. I always felt like we were the bane of her existence. It seemed she suffered greatly trying to tolerate us and was never successful. I feel apologetic for liking Bay and Emmett, as if I am doing something that would anger her greatly. Lately, whenever anyone has the boldness to tag her in a tweet about Bay and Emmett, I cringe. I feel strongly that it's like fingernails on a chalkboard for her. That's sad to me, because she created them. I wish things had been different. __________________

I've said this already, but the writers had a literal gift from the gods, when they paired Bay and Emmett together. That kind of chemistry and charisma is so rare on film. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, for most showrunners and producers. Lizzy Weiss and Paul Stupin had it in the palm of their hand, and they threw it all away like it was garbage. It was a gift from the gods. I kid you not. That kind of magic doesn't happen very often. To annihilate it is unbelievable. I miss Bay & Emmett. __________________

The showrunner's decision to annhilate Bay & Emmett, and really, abandon Emmett's character altogether, is my biggest disappointment in all my years of enjoying fiction. No other story turn has ever been as unsatisfying to me. It's heartbreaking, but not in a cathartic way. Nothing is cleansed or purified by this decision. Instead the story feels sullied. I sense the showrunner's bitterness and disdain. Writers recruit, seduce, beguile us into their world. Only then do we trust them to take us on a journey. The writers of Switched at Birth abandoned that journey, and they were not even honest about the decision. I feel betrayed. The writers threw out just enough bread crumbs to make viewers believe the story would continue, but ultimately, it was the old bait-and-switch. We were promised one story and received another. Bay and Emmett are still beautiful, though. I still believe in their love. It's the writers who abandoned their story, not the fans. __________________

We need to start talking about some of their positives..
One of my favorites about them is that they were hearing and deaf, very different yet very similar. I loved how Bay learned some serious ASL for Emmett. __________________

I just really miss the in-depth stories that Bay and Emmett had before, I loved the drama and the intrigue of them without all of the heavy duty crap against them, let them have some family problems and be there for each other, or hell, let Bay's anyuresm become a serious reality and let them deal with possible outcomes of that. They work well together, not apart.
