Totally agree with your post about the failings of Corrie tonight. Kate was very OOC in order to isolate Rana. I was hoping that Rana would be angry Kate told Zeedan and Kate might be hurt that Rana was ashamed to admit she’d been with her. Explaining their upcoming estrangement.What did you make of Rana painting Kate as an exception in terms of her sexuality? Rana still in denial or are they really going for Katesexual? I do think think the story is more than salvageable with a good ep or two.

Oh, it’s for sure salvageable. It was just so unnecessary to be so OOC today when there were so many other reasons available to them. Like you said, Rana being mad at Kate for outing her could have been a great way to separate them. Neither would have come across as a bad guy or OOC. I’ve always loved that they both have always remained understandable AND sympathetic (not exactly the same thing). Their motivations were clear and they appealed to the audience, which, in a cheating storyline is difficult! A waste of a couple of eps that could have been great. Just like, tone down the anger and make it more conflicted sadness. They did it in the first ep! I need Debbie Oates back, please.

Huh, yeah, that bit was weird. A weird thing to highlight for the show in that moment. Are they saying that for Rana the character it’s gonna be Kate and then just men in the future? It feels like that’s a very weird thing to set in stone about a character literally going through a sexuality crisis through which she’s going to suffer so much. All for one woman? She should love free and be out and proud for being Katesexual? I took it as her saying that to Zee in the moment, possibly even believing it herself, but mostly to try to assure him it’d never happen again. I mean, even if Kate’s the only woman she’s ever going to love, she’s still bi. So I hope she’s able to claim that at some point.

Sorry about the hope thing. English is not my language and I had to use translate on google I’m sorry if it sound wrong

No no no no no, anon, you were fine! You were absolutely fine, and it was perfectly correct, I understood exactly what you meant, and where you were coming from. No worries at all, at all. 

I’d simply meant these discussions overall were starting to become something odd to read, in that for what seemed a sweet f/f ship (albeit with some cheating), now we’re just looking for how low the characters will go. It wasn’t about you or your choice of words at all, anon!

i only saw the first gif in the main trailer but here are some other gifs i found ���� http://listhenchamp.tumblr.com/post/169688611528/counterpart-baldwinaka-sara

Ohhh. Hmmm. Lol, I actually remember that now. I think it was at the end of the first ep, the “this season” trailer? I don’t think I paid it much mind because at the time it was like weeks yet till the show started for real.

Thanks!

Hello, there is totally no need to apologize. You are so courteous. The scene with clare was in another trailer i saw, very short and fast. I guess it will be in ep4 or ep 5, maybe. Anyway, thanks for your patience and everyting.

Aw, no, no, you’re the nice one! Hmm, interesting. Fun fact, the actress who plays Clare also played Fara in Homeland, the Muslim woman Saul yelled at for wearing a hijab. Good times, good times.

So where is this other trailer? I’m interested…for a friend. >_>

Thanks for getting me absolutely hooked on the angst fest that is Kana. I love reading your tags! It seems they’re trying to keep the angst at 1000% and certainly going to drag it out longer than I even anticipated after seeing tonight’s eps. Also wondering with Corries 100 characters that the thing that’s going to come up short are the transitions? I feel like any time they want the story to take a turn it’s just a drastic shift, while the juice of the storyline seems pretty well developed

Yeah, it definitely seems like the rotated screentime makes some storylines move in fits and jerks. Especially with them being fairly lower-level characters. Rana in particular, who is really at the center of this story for all the things she is and all the people she pulls into this, has had some really long gaps in screentime, though Bhavna’s a champ and covers for that masterfully. 

Overall, I think we do get an okay picture of things, even if we have to massage our headcanons a bit.

Oh, and you’re welcome. 😀 A great time to be watching, eh.
