I don't even know where to begin


I guess I'll start with Brody running to Annie after seeing her for, maybe an hour. He came to her aid like she's his pregnant wife who had just been the lone survivor in a plane crash. He just slept with Bonnie earlier that day, but didn't care if she was ok until he was at her doorstep later that night. I'm no longer a fan of his character. That scene really pissed me off. But I'm also frustrated with Bonnie's ass constantly denying her feelings for Brody. The writing for her character is almost making me want to stop watching. I get that she's a caretaker to her family, but her selflessness is beyond frustrating at this point.

Speaking of pregnancy...lord Annie's pregnant...again! Rebel's going to really lose her *beep* now!!!! Pregnant with the president's baby is going to be a mess. I'm guessing she got pregnant well before the president's heart attack, because she was forced to take the morning after pill, and the timeline of the show since the heart attack wouldn't bring a result on a test. I'm thinking it had only been about a week throughout the first season to this episode. Then the fact that Annie's slutty ass wanted to have sex with Brody after he just had sex, less than 24 prior, with her SISTER. She also just had sex with the president days before, yet she's ready to sleep with Brody. Her character makes me sick! I tried to like her, but I just can't.

On to Valarie...I'm starting to get the vibe that she was also involved with the president. The way she acted while talking about the president to Dax made me think she was also messing around with him. I think maybe the reason she hates Annie so much is because she thought she was the only woman the president had eyes for. It had nothing to do with Annie's lies, but about competition. Again, that's all my opinion and complete speculation.

Dax's convo with the first lady sort of confused me. I'm wondering what his level of guilt is when it came to the president's heart attack, and what his motive for doing it was. The whole deportation was so cold blooded. Ok, he cheated, but deporting him and his family? It's almost unbelievable. I can understand a person being hurt and angry about infidelity, but taking it to this level of extrematy was ridiculous. It's like he went from having a look of love to the look of young Michael Myers right before killing his sister.

Last point...is Brody sleeping with the woman in the white car, Frankie? He seems very protective of her. I wonder why, as well as what their connection is.

See my post "Brody needs to keep his pecker away from Bonnie" to know how I feel about him running to his precious Annie and treating Bonnie as an after thought. He just proved every single thing Bonnie has been saying about being his second choice. I don't care how strong someone is, if they nearly die, you don't run past them to go hug on your ex-girlfriend because you're so worried about HER. And that he doesn't get that shows how dumb he truly is. Any high ground this dude had with Bonnie is gone so his whining how he's not going to let Bonnie do this to him anymore and how she doesn't care he can keep to himself. Maybe Bonnie wouldn't be treating you like this if you'd run to her first and been your first concern instead of the ex that abandoned you and was the President's sex toy.

In regards to Brody and Anna's great moment of passion I have only one word for it. Yuck. Talk about no chemistry. That has got to be the worst kiss I've ever seen. This show needs to give it up in regards to these two.

How can Anna be pregnant? Didn't Caitlyn force her to take the morning after pill before chasing her slimy butt out of town? I suppose Brody will offer to marry her so he can take care of the little wilting flower.

Not sure what's going on with Brody and Frankie, but it seems she thought the druggies shooting up the trailer park might be after her.

I kind of enjoyed what Dax did to Victor [minus what he did to the parents who are not to blame because their son is a faithless slut]. It made the Dax character more interesting to watch. I doubt anything will make Valerie interesting. But I agree she sounds like she's either one of the President's former sex toys or she wanted to be one.

Last season I didn't want Brody with either one. I know that people liked him with Bonnie, but the whole you've been with my sister thing before me kind of bothered me. Now I don't mind if they get together.

I can't say that I feel sorry for Victor. I thought that Victor was being a good friend, to Anna, when he drove her back home, but the way that he was acting in the bar and when he woke up and was kind of hitting on Brody was ridiculous! Dax was so worried about him and he's acting like this. I do feel sorry for his parents though.

I don't find Valerie interesting. She's too angry and it's boring to me. I bet that she got passed over for Anna and that is pissing her off.

I think you nailed this! Her anger and viciousness is so out of proportion, I have a hard time even watching her. She's like an attack dog. I can understand initially, to a point, but she's way above and beyond after their first interaction.

reply

Yes! When she was talking to Dax, I said I bet she was sleeping with the president too!


reply

Or that she was sleeping with Annie too and was jealous to find out that she was with a man!

reply

Fankie is Brody's sister maybe?

reply

I think so, too. Pops and "Sheba" had a thing and Frankie is the love child. Brody was very protective of her.


If the spirit can remain after the body's long gone, I think I can love you forever. Yu to Kyouji

Frankie may be Sheba daughter

reply

I think Dax may be Caitlin's brother.
