Talk:Tori Fixes Beck and Jade/@comment-25462618-20140925130949

In all honesty it wasn't so much the episode itself that went wrong here it was the message it portrayed. Not-so-subtle sexism that when Jade broke up with Beck she had to do everything she could to win him back, even team up with her "false" rival. All Beck had to do was get bored on a date and get a convienent ephinany that Jade fit a generic description about what he wants in a girl. That sends an absolutely terrible message about self-esteem; take back your Prince Charming when he gets bored with another girl (who was clearly set up as a one-note anti-Jade plot device) with no questions asked. I mean there was also that whole "Tori Goes Platinum" almost-kiss incident, but that's already old news and clearly the writers pretended that never happened, so no use mentioning that anymore. Really, he should've been the one to woo her this time, actually prove he's willing to be here for the long haul and not just when he's bored, not the one getting the song sung to him. Also, no discussion beforehand about why they broke up (twice) before? That's just walking right back into the same problems that caused the demise of your relationship the first couple go-arounds. And I donno, Beck just seems to have become a mere plot device rather than a real individual character these days. And for god's sake, YOU'RE STILL ON A DATE! At least let the girl know things just aren't working out before you kiss your ex right in front of her. To be quite honest, I just think Dan and his team of writers are absolutely terrible at writing most kinds of relationships, mainly cause they take no consideration of actual cause-and-effect, no sense of continunity and keeping character development fluid. Given them actually having a talking through and possibly adressing their past romantic issues obv wouldn't look exciting, so I guess we had to go back to a fairy-tale scenario. Obv Im not a Beck/Jade shipper but I think those who do sail this ship deserved a lot better.

Anyways, just kind of a lackluster episode, the writers just seem to be getting lazier and lazier, although Andre's grandma and Trina's little meeting made them the new broTP. Given the higlight may be Tori's sweet, possible whammy moment of thinking the song might be for her and still cheering Jade on and singing along after Jade's kiss when it proves otherwise (or does it?), maybe the closest expression of unrequited homosexual love that Nickelodeon will portray for quite some time, if ever. Maybe she can console a jilted Meredith.
