Yeah,that woman creeps me out. She makes me feel like she's about to put a hit out on that poor kid.

I think Gabe was just one of those older guys that circle around the parking lots of high schools. My friends dated 26 year olds back then and thought nothing of it.

Monte must be around for manufactured drama. :roll eyes:

Stef is a little odd-It always feels like Lena puts more effort into things. She also pours more affection, too. The relationship seems so unbalanced.

Ron_Beckett

Right! What's her deal with Jack? As it is she's using Callie. And who the heck knew about Callie and Brandon?! But what's her deal with Jack?

Yeah that's how I see Gabe too. Just a misunderstanding because of the age difference.

And I certainly agree about Monte. She's just there to add drama for drama's sake (I hate storylines like that!)

I don't see it that way. Stef has just struck me as more reserved. She doesn't like having the attention on herself, she's not a loud and vocal person. She keeps her thoughts and her feelings to herself even though she has people around her who care.

It can be hard for those types of people to open up and put attention on themselves so to other people it comes off as cold and abrasive when in fact they're really not.

Against_all_odds

Oh, ok. It just always felt like Lena was the one who tried to fix their problems. She didn't even get excited about the wedding.

I think someone at Idlewild could have seen them.

I think Jack may be at one of those private places and he's a threat to their image.

Ron_Beckett

It's not that Stef wasn't excited about the wedding. She truly was but in her own way. Again she doesn't like having attention on herself so when it does happen, it makes her very uncomfortable so it comes off as seeming like she doesn't care.

She certainly wanted to marry Lena but not in a big way that stated "oh look at me, I'm getting married and we're having a huge party!". That's just not Stef's style.

She did go along with the whole thing because it's what Lena wanted and it's what made Lena happy.

Stef is an introvert. Pure and simple.

We're not like other people. We deal with things differently and to others it may come off as in "oh they don't care" or that person is cold and indifferent when truly that's not the case.

Against_all_odds

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

Ron_Beckett

Glad I could provide a different perspective

Against_all_odds

Yeah, b/c she seemed frigid at times and it made me wonder what her deal was.

Against_all_odds

Damn...Callie was such a today. Where the hell did her common sense and ability to think for herself go?

Ron_Beckett

Another great episode.

-Seems most of us were right about Gabe; the fact that he was older than Anna. I do have to admit, now I want them in a scene together just to see what they would look like paired up.

-I was disappointed in Callie too. I love her, I really do but damn. She's letting Justine influence her in a way that's very negative. Callie isn't thinking for herself. As it is she totally pulled a 180- not supporting privatization and then supporting it. WTF?! Yes Callie is a teenager. Yes she's figuring things out but she had no right going off on Rita like that

I can understand Callie because I used to do that too- push my teachers, tell them what they were doing was wrong and my way was right. But as an adult now, it's easy to see how much of a kid Callie really is.

And she should have supported her moms and not gone off on them either!

Against_all_odds

Yeah,which is why I'm pissed. First of all,these are two people you waited so long for to be your parents. Second of all,they're doing it to be MOTHERS-That's how it works. What kind of parent doesn't annoy you and refuse to back down? Also,you shouldn't talk to your poor mother like that because OMG SHE HAS CANCER! WTF?!

I think she's just so happy about her voice being heard that she doesn't want to face reality. I'm sorry,but none of the adults are asking or saying anything unreasonable.

Ron_Beckett

So glad it wasn't just me.

I love Callie, I truly do but I haven't been a fan of how they've taken her this second half of the season.

Yes she's a teenager, yes she has a family, yes she's trying to figure out her life but still they're turning her into one of those stuck ups who seems better than everyone else.

I truly do think it's in part due to Justine's influence. That woman has made a mess of things. Sure she's come in with her big money and ideas but that's part of the problem. She's molding Callie into this power house woman and deviating the girl from the truth and from who she is.

And Callie is taking that woman's word over anything else- her own thoughts and beliefs, the suggestions and opinions of her mentor, and especially her moms. Callie's being influenced and in a bad way!

Against_all_odds

Kind of like Jesus and Hayley,but less obvious. I don't know that I like Callie and A.J.,though. It's another situation that's too close for comfort. Mike is sort of like the surrogate dad.

Ron_Beckett

Jesus and Lexi were pretty awesome. I actually think Noah's version of Jesus has better chemistry with Lexi.

Not sure how I feel about AJ and Callie. Although Callie is one of those characters who I just want to be happy regardless of who it's with.

Though I still 100% ship Callie and Brandon. That will never change for me.

As it was seeing Brandon with that kid and then holding the teddy bear made me wish for a Callie/Brandon baby

Against_all_odds

Brandon was better with that then I thought he'd be. I take stuff like this for granted b/c I didn't go to the best h.s. Half of my school had pregnant teens and women with kids. Anyone who dated them had to adjust.

I'm still angry with Lexi for what she did to Marianna. Wtf kind of friend was she? She dropped out of the race,so why accept being president?

Ron_Beckett

Yeah the whole Lexi and Mariana thing is so messed up. They are just polar opposites but can't seem to make their friendship work.

I actually think those are the best kinds of friendships because they balance each other out.

~*~*~

I wonder how much older that girl is than Brandon.

And her baby daddy is a jerk.

~*~*~

Oh and seriously- Monte has to go!

Dude for her to use Jesus against Lena was down right cold.

And seriously for a second, considering how Monte was with that student I was afraid of a teacher/student relationship! That's how messed up Monte is I think for me to even think of something bad like that.
