Guys...let's remember to keep the spoiler talk in the spoiler thread on the spoiler board or in the FM thread on the Couples board.
Thanks! I actually think I am going to head over to the FM couples thread in a bit b/c I'd like to chime in on some things. __________________

As for the episode... I actually suspected Mary had PTSD, or at least I hoped she did because it was the logical step after what happened to her. I knew she didn't really love Conde, she just wanted to escape. It wasn't obvious to some fans but it was to me. I think a lot of fans in their hurt for what Mary's doing to Francis are blocking her POV. And I get that. But she is not doing this to hurt him, she's not even thinking straight. I'm glad the show is making it more obvious now. Mary also showed that she wasn't as ready to be intimate with Conde. She looks uncomfortable so it's not as magical as she thought it would be. That's very realistic to me.
Toby is terrific. How amazing was that scene where he set her free to be with Conde. We can feel his pain so deeply, and I'd watch him acting all day. I don't think fans have to worry that they'd make him do something bad to make Mary look better. I think they are writing him very sympathetic. He was pushed, by Mary no less, to sleep with that girl after he had repeatedly said he didn't want another. He looks very good in my eyes. I was disappointed that he gave in and went with the girl, I wished he would had decided to move on another way, but oh well, what's done it's done. I didn't see it as getting even (meh, I didn't even think it was necessary to make him do it) but I get they wanted to show them in the same episode as walking toward different paths, moving on to other people and simply drifting apart. Catherine, not much to say other that I adore Megan. She rocks! The episode was not as bad as I though it'd be, actually. It was full of angst and it painted the relationship as salvageable. But, I don't think they can fix them that fast and easy. They are going to squeeze the angst, so we may see a turnaround in the next 2 episodes, an actual progress by the finale, and then they might start fixing the relationship in S3. It'd be unrealistic any other way. Quote:
But yeah, like you guys said, I just see it as them supporting the actor. They must know a lot of people hate his character, and that's not the actor's fault. So they might want to make him feel better. Quote:
Robin... I loved your forgiveness posts. I agree with most of it. It cheered me up a litle. __________________

Hi ladies!
TFTNT, Leah! I love the quote you choose. So sweet, and so true. makeitreign, I agree that we shouldn't get our hopes up about Monde being completely over after the next episode. As I said before, I'm just trying to stay positive, and I'm hopeful that it will be over soon (as in, a decent amount of time before the end of the season). Plus, nothing will stop me from relishing every single second of that argument they showed in the preview. Issi, your new icon is lovely. And Happy Birthday to Megan! merie, I completely agree with everything you said in your post. A lot of fans can only see how Mary is hurting Francis, and they can't or won't try to understand her POV. It makes sense. I like that the show is making it clearer now. She never really stopped loving Francis, and she doesn't love Conde. She's just trying to escape her pain. Toby is amazing I was very disappointed that they actually had him sleep with that girl, but I understood it. I think they are writing Francis very sympathetically. __________________

In defense of the fans attacking Mary, the show isn't doing a good job of executing this s/l. mary's ptsd is only shown through her relationships with two men. They've centered the post-rape sl on her romantic life, and it was a huge misstep IMO. It makes it easy for people to write it off as just them writing a forbidden love story for Monde, and the show is promoting it that way on social media. I know it's a different team, but they keep promoting Monde as a love story. And that does effect people's interpretation of Mary's actions.
I agree that any effort to repaid mary and francis should extend until season 3 Also, reign hit a series low last night with only 960k viewers. So it isn't just the fandom upset, casual viewers are walking away from the show as well. Last edited by makeitreign; 03-13-2015 at 08:12 PM |
