you can cut stars.

You do have a point about the storylines this season. That's a nice way of looking at it. I enjoyed the second episode more than the first for some reason, I think the storylines are starting to work better. The acting on this show is truly incredible, it never fails to amaze me. Love the screencaps :)

You're definitely right about the awesome acting. Even last year's storylines seemed a bit soapy, but the actors really delivered on it, so people bought it. This year is no different (except I'm definitely finding a few more things I dislike about it then I did last year). Connie Britton, particularly, in the episode blew me away. She was absolutely fabulous!

But perhaps it's the imperfections that make the show perfect. Unpredictable, stupid, irrational, illogical, imperfect, isn't that life? Yes!! so true!

See, I know people who've made the decision Tami and Eric did, so I find that completely believable.
And I don't see the murder storyline as being romantic - its more they're desperately trying to understand what's going on and how to get out of it. I didn't see that kiss as romantic at all.
But my God yes, those 4 deserves Emmys, Oscars and freaking Nobel prizes!

Absolutely!

Beautiful picspam by the way.

Kyle, Connie, Adrianne, Jesse, the four of you deserve an Emmy.

Seriously. I'm glad somebody else is saying it. Connie especially, she was amazing in this episode and looks great in the next one too.

This show is perfectly imperfect. All of the characters have been perfectly cast and it's a sham that more people aren't in love with this show.

Oh the acting blows me away each and every time. Connie is just.. gah, amazing. And I agree about the imperfections that it makes the show perfect. It just makes it all the more real, and that's the biggest reason why I'm so in love with this show!

I agree with you about the realness of the show. And I'm not going to get all wanky about the murder storyline anymore than you are - although I don't like it and don't like the fact that a totally unlikely and IMO, unlikable couple will be spawned out of it. But then again - I agree with you that that is kinda the point.

Also like you I'm not very happy with the characters or their decisions or the path they are all on, but oh man is it fun to watch these actors go to town on the overall fucked-up nature of it all.

Sometimes it hurts to watch this show because it pulls you so far in. But it's the good hurt, the 'I know I'm really watching something' hurt. I think honestly the thing I hate the absolute most about the whole Landry/Tyra thing is that so many fans are getting so upset about it like they can't even trust that after what we have seen this shows writers do that it's going to pay off at least in the acting and writing. I have faith even if I don't like it. Good TV isn't always about being comfortable or loving every single thing, sometimes it's that it just is. FNL just is good. I have faith in that.
