Yeah, it just felt off in s5.
It's been a while since I watched that ep, so I can't really remember all that was said... was good to see some things getting rehashed though, even if they weren't exactly good scenes. & it proved that Gunn was right about Fred not wanting to live with the guilt in 4x05, because she admitted then that she thought about it everyday. If she had just listened to Gunn back then, it all would have been so different... __________________

I was away for a while and trying to catch up with this thread

Fans always say that Gunn was unnecessarily jealous, but he had every right to be. Fred should have trusted his judgement and not just turned to the first man who would try to use spells to make things go away. __________________

Glad you agree with my points, especially as it's not something that I see a lot of people talking about it! & I agree with you about how Gunn had the right to feel protective of his relationship with Fred. Wesley wasn't treating their relationship with any respect at all, if he thought he could steal Fred away, he definitely would have, no matter how ugly the circumstances might have been. Gunn & Fred were also dealing with something pretty big at the time, & they needed to heal together, which they just didn't get the chance to... Wesley didn't actually care about their happiness at all, if Fred was miserable because her relationship was struggling, that was awesome for Wesley, because then he could use that to spend time with her... he only wanted her happy if it was with him

I'll respond to all that tomorrow probably.
Sophie you can schedule the date and time for the watch. Saturday can be earlier than usual since I don't (at the moment) have anything planned for Saturday. |

I'm not sure if I'll be available for the re-watch, but I remember Supersymmetry very well, so I'll join you in discussion about it around that time

She always seemed more shy and "follow the leader" ish around Wesley. Her attraction to Gunn was much more apparent. Then came the kiss, and Wesley seeing them... Fred made a choice in that moment -- to kiss Gunn. That was a huge step for her, as someone who had been stuck in a hell dimension for 5 years and it showed how much she trusted Gunn. To be honest, Cordelia had a huge part to play in Wesley's behavior towards Gunn about the whole thing. She was the one who kept getting Wesley's hopes up about Fred, without any real proof of her feelings. (Again, I say this as a Cordy fan -- she shouldn't have intervened here ) __________________

You're definitely right about that, people try so hard to make Gunn the bad guy for some reason... & romanticize the hell out of Wesley's obsession with Fred. His thing for her brought out the worst in him imo, with every other storyline I can understand where he's coming from, but I just hate him when it comes to Fred & Fred/Gunn
How about early Saturday afternoon for the rewatch then? __________________

That's all part of people misunderstanding Gunn and wrongly judging him as nothing more than "the muscle", like he always feared. He had a big heart. __________________

I have the same kind of ideas about it, but maybe a little harsher & controversial
I think that people are just more comfortable seeing a moc play a side character, the muscle, the street kid, all those tropes... but struggle when it cames to seeing him as a love interest. They'd rather that role goes to the white guy That's my opinion anyway Quote:
