Talk:Tori Fixes Beck and Jade/@comment-1976613-20121202013604

What a great episode, it was much better than I thought it would be. It actually called back to multiple previous episodes, which I found to be great continuity. Jade was brilliant in this episode, as I expected. She was just the right amount of menacing, but she had her moments where she actually showed that she cares, like when she brought up her views from Opposite Date, which I am so glad she did because it develops her character so much more. But of course the person who's going to be most talked about after this episode is Beck, and I probably will have an unpopular opinion about this, but I think this was Beck's best episode as a character by far. We actually got into his psyche, he wasn't flat at all, he showed that he was intimidated by Jade early on, he showed fear, but he also gave an extremely legitimate reason that explained the whole ship to me. See I never got Bade, I just thought it didn't make sense, Beck putting up with all that jealousy and abrasiveness that Jade shows, but when he explained to Tori that he likes the challenge it all made sense. It's still not my favorite ship, but I definitely respect it more after this episode. Plus during the song I felt that Beck's emotions were spot on. They weren't over the top, they were subtle, he didn't beg for her back, he didn't cower like everyone else, he boldly went right up to the stage after the performance (which was great of course, but I had already seen it) and kissed her in front of everyone. If that doesn't show emotion or that he legitimitely missed her then I don't know what does.

The subplot was hilarious as well. Every time Cat screamed when she felt the butterfly it just got funnier. The Cabbie moments were really nice, but not over the top, it was just a genuine friendship episode. Plus the end when they commented on a mistake that I'm sure was made in production was a meta moment I really enjoyed. All around this was a really good episode and a continuation of a really fantastic season.
