storytime!

So yesterday in between not studying for my exams and doing the laundry I watched the last ever episode of My So-Called Life. I, uh, was unimpressed? Mostly (and I don't know if this is a personal hang-up) because it seemed so much less feminist than the beginning of the series, when it articulated so much of what I found quintessential to female experience -- if there can ever be "a" female experience, possibly I just mean "my" experience -- so perfectly. I didn't actually enjoy the whole Brian/Jordan Catalano thing (I do enjoy seeing them interact, though), mostly because I think Jordan Catalano has so little personality he's entertaining as a remote kind of crush but not an actual love interest, and Brian displays alarmingly Nice Guy tendencies at some points.

These may be unpopular opinions.

I don't know. Also I've been reading some of the Television Without Pity recaps and have as a result been filled with rage and also the desire to yell "YOU'RE SO WRONG" at my laptop at inopportune moments, uh. Seriously - the reviewer doesn't like Patty! (Kudos to her for liking Sharon as much as she does though.) What is wrong with her??? And why review a show you purportedly love if you're not going to give more than one episode an A-rating? Why did you give Betrayal a B- rating or something equally abysmal?? (One thing it did inform me of, though, was the fact that the dude who plays Mr Katimski actually directed Betrayal, which I hadn't known and wouldn't have if it hadn't been for TwoP. Cool beans!)

Mostly I keep thinking about what happens after the last episode. And because for me, the Angela-Rayanne friendship was absolutely the whole point of the show, Rayanne comes into it, uh, a lot.

( Angela gets both Jordan and Rickie in the divorce. )
