Filthy Pickle

Yes, yes, yes, YES! Oh my goodness, this is so spot on with my feelings about Nora, it’s like I wrote this (I didn’t). I said it before, and I’ll say it again: one of the most artistically and intellectually insulting lines of dialogue between Eric and Nora was that whole “I’ve loved you for 600 years” crap. Yeah, it’s just a show. And it’s 90% dumb, 10% genius. This was just another example of that. This was the 90%. I can’t stand when writers inject information about a character with no lead-up at all, no history, no background. There’s no believability at all. They’ve loved each other for 600 years? Like, we never heard of this bitch before and all of a sudden she’s all up in Eric’s face and THEY are professing their 600 years-old love to each other? I can’t even. I mean really, even a dumb show can have some cohesion. There’s no excuse for plots this bad. And those pitifully horrible, unattractive sex scenes between the two of them…don’t even get me started. It’s not love and it’s not lust. It’s just embarrassing. Hey, DIRECTOR: When you have to make an actor PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS (on-screen) LOVER’S ASS CRACK during a sex scene, then you are doing something wrong. The hand isn’t a clue, director? You might want to put those actors in a different position, ‘cause the lap aesthetic clearly isn’t working. And then in the end when she turned from the Authority there was AGAIN no fucking lead-up, no evidence of change. Just suddenly, there she is in Eric’s room. For what? Oh right, for the horribly aforementioned lap screw. Anyway—she’s awful alone, they’re awful together. Skars, time for you to get off this obscenely horrible show. You’re about 4 seasons over-due for an exit.
