I'm fairly certain the Bobbseys' are hightailing it out of here by the finale, simply because I can't see there being a reason for them to stick around further after that. But who knows. I haven't seen the episode yet, but what I've read doesn't make me want to run and watch right away. It seems very meh overall. And the fact that the reason Nancy is in this mess to begin with is because she saved Ace, I'm not understanding his lack of involvement and a payoff here.
That said, I agree with you, S, that a lot of this is the result of them cramming a lot in so few episodes. This isn't the first time I've seen this happen with shows. They waste so much time on random filler and standalone props that they spend the last few episodes rushing to finish main plotlines they should've worked with more. This season has had some stellar episodes so I know they can do better. I just hope it turns around and we get some sort of Nancy/Ace payoff soon. __________________

And yes...I have no idea why they bothered making him the reason if he's not even involved??? Not even mentioned???? She's doing all these random things without her friends now? It just seems very rushed cause they just had to finish this stuff before the end of the season?? And trusting Gil???? Yeah...that's gonna end well. The last two episodes better be amazing or I better hear something awesome about Season 3 because my interest is waning. BIG TIME. I'll always, always, always love Nancy/Ace...but I'm not waiting forever for them. The writers DID NOT have to give them all that attention this season...but they did and now they need to pay it off with something. ETA: This show CAN and HAS done better. I'm very disappointed. __________________

Idk, but I do know they can do better and they better deliver in these last two episodes or give us some kind of hint for season 3, otherwise I'm not sure I want to wait either. My patience with shows has gotten a lot thinner over the years, especially now. It's much easier now for me to toss aside a show that doesn't make me happy. Life's too short. __________________

Same. There is too much tv out there for me to waste my time on something that makes me unhappy.

I haven't even seen the episode yet, but based on the comments on the board. Terrible writing was involved. Which is S2 to me in a nutshell. They couldn't even properly build Nancy and Ace with this arc given she did it for him. At least that's what we have seen and was told. He should be heavily involved in the arc and it brings them closer together at the same time. But no. TPTB put Ace with Amanda's useless a** and Nancy's boring FWB situation with Gil. There's nothing being built between N&A. I mean we know they're friends, but we're not getting any deep scenes between them. Something that pushes them closer together. More than friends. I doubt she knows his true feelings about things and his secrets. We know Nancy likes to keep her guard up, but he's not trying to get to truly know her. That arc could have done that. They're trying to deal with this Hudson thing while growing closer. I bet she doesn't even know his favorite band.

At this point, I just hope that her walls come down around him a bit. They dropped the ball to do anything significant this season.

Nancy will probably leave Everett alone with Gil thinking she has the situation under control and guess what will happen???? Mark my words, 2x17 is NOT going to end well for Nancy and Gil will be 100000% to blame. He's lucky if all he gets is dumped. He should get his ass kicked and I hope he does. This is the only prediction I'm going to make and feel 10000% good about. __________________

Or, the twist will be that he's actually the nicest guy in the world, and he's just been pretending to be a dick for rEaSoNs. Honestly, could go either way at this point. |

What's funny is since the last episode, I've seen a lot of converted Gil fans who are all screaming, "I LOVE GIL SO MUCH NOW!!!!" and praising him for helping Nancy kidnap Everett. So, if he turns out to be truly evil and not just a flaming dick, and he betrays Nancy and puts her in serious danger, it will be hilarious watching all these people having to walk their comments back. My concern is that Nancy going dark and kidnapping Everett and doing whatever else she may end up doing to him—WITH GIL, NO LESS—will put a serious strain on her friendship with Ace, because I could see that all being a huge turn-off for him and it all being something he has a hard time getting over. So, hopefully the writers have really thought this one through if they ever actually do plan on making Nace happen. |

I didn't think the episode was horrible tbh, but underwhelming.
I was kind of thinking Nancy might tell Gil that she's a Hudson, then he would tell them, but at least Nancy told Everett herself. I do think he'll betray her some other way though. Quote:
