This guy is the brother-in-law of Chris Cantwell, creator and showrunner of Halt and Catch Fire. There are a lot of deserving people out there right now, but I think everyone in fandom should consider helping this particular one. What does it have to do with fandom? Chris is actually offering FAN FICTION as an incentive–if the campaign hits $10,000, he’ll write an original Halt short story. If it hits $20,000, he’ll produce a new Halt script. Even if you’re not a fan of Halt, imagine what it would be like to get NEW MATERIAL for a TINY FANDOM from the actual Powers-That-Be. Intoxicating, no? Even if you can’t contribute right now, please reblog.
At first I tried not to ship them because of Jessica Alba’s character’s husband, and Gabrielle Union’s character had that thing with the dominatrix lady but with her gone (boooo) I am defaulting back to these two.
Juliantina clips? They should have them. Not those TVyNovelas clips, those are just bonus content, but the Juliantina clips themselves should have them. You may have to click on the subtitle icon at the bottom right:
And Jack had experienced abandonment throughout his entire life and thus had learned to figure it all out on his own. Maya came in and showed him that he didn’t have to do it on his own and that they were people who had his back. And Jack allowed her to enjoy life and that they were people who wanted to get to know the real her and cared for her. They were what each other needed at the time. However I much prefer her and Carina. 2/
Carina and Maya are good together because Carina isn’t someone Maya has to compete with and possibly hurt. She someone that Maya can enjoy for what it is and close enough to understand the choices Maya makes every day. She doesn’t push and lets Maya decide how fast she wants to take things. which is what she needs. The problem with GA and S19 is that the cast are so incestuous that everyone will inevitably hooks up with each other. Ex. Dean and Vic, Travis and Dixon and Andy and Rob. 3/3
Fair enough, anon, you can like what you like and those reasons do sound good! Jack just rubbed me the wrong way from the start and it never went away, it wasn’t him being problematic or whatever, I just don’t like him much. He does have his moments but for me that’s when it’s something not related to women.
But the Carina and Maya reason does sound good too, lol, one I’ll definitely agree with. Even Maya’s friendship with Andy has suffered because of her competitiveness, Carina offers something so valuable in being an also competent, ambitious professional woman who understands just what Maya’s job and life entail, but being removed enough to not actually be someone Maya feels she has to compete against. Although, like…Maya has to address that. There’s healthy competition and then there’s what her dad instilled in her and is making her think of death as a release from pressure and wrecking her relationships. Who’s to say she won’t think of a reason to compete with Carina anyway, like who’s earning more or gotten the most promotions within a certain amount of time? It’s silly to think like that but that’s what you end up fixating on.
Though of course she is working on it, she seems to have made more progress within the last few eps than she did in the whole show before. Well, the competitiveness was dormant earlier, but clearly it was always lurking and she knew it was and was almost scared of it. And it’s not that the progress is because of Carina, it’s that the writers are writing the two things together, exploring her more, she’s understanding that her way wasn’t working (the “I’m the truck” breakdown), the panic attack. And Carina’s there to support her and also be someone who’ll stand against her “personal relationships only distract” mentality. I’m so curious to see the next ep, Maya with her mom and Carina both. So many threads meeting!
I get what you mean, but I don’t really blame Andy for the writers’ bias. When they make Maya do something unlikable to prop up Andy, I don’t like Maya less for it, it is what it is with this show (and perhaps Grey’s as well?). It’s just filled with whatever ups and downs that will cause the most drama.
Remember how after the big tower fire at the end of s1, I think, Travis almost died because he told Warren to help a civilian instead of him and Vic got like, bizarrely mad at him for it? Not Warren, but Travis, the guy who, again, ALMOST DIED. For. Almost. Dying. But she’s cool now, everyone on this show goes through periods of self-righteousness and selfishness and heroism. Pruitt was so horrible to Andy and now we’re mourning him like everyone else. Andy gets it the most, yes, but it’s all part of the same…mechanism.
And is Maya more senior than Andy? Unless I’m misremembering, didn’t Andy get lieutenant first? Or did you mean something else?
