Talk:Tori Fixes Beck and Jade/@comment-5002211-20121203212053

Okay now that the episode is over I'll say about it:

1) Rushed? Yes! Like most Victorious episodes lately, it seemed a little rushed. The last few episodes there were moments where I just stop and think "why are they showing this? it's dead weight, move on to the main plot". This was no exception. Which brings me to the next point.

2) The subplot: I know there are a lot of Cabbie lovers out there, but I could have done without the subplot. It didn't add anything to the episode.

3) Jade: I love Jade, and even though she seemed more rritable than usual I still loved her here. Had she been nice and sweet then I would have questioned the Bade reunion a bit, but she was her usual self, if not harsher, and he still wanted her back.

4) Did Tori FIX Beck and Jade?: Indirectly, yes. At first I was afraid of a Jade Dumps Beck remake, but it was nothing like it. Tori, by making Beck go out with Meredith, made him realize the kind of girl he truly likes. So, in a way, she really did help them get back together.

5) The viewers: I do worry quite a bit about viewers for this episode becauase I'm not sure it was promoted well enough. I spoke with two of my cousins, who are 12, and are casual viewers of the show (they love Bade and Tandre). They didn't know about Beck and Jade even possibly getting back together until I told them about it on Sunday morning. The reason? They only saw the early promo. They thought this episode was about Tori getting a bunch of guys to ask out Jade and Jade rejecting them all, etc, etc, etc. Of course, as soon as I told them what really happened they went straight to iTunes. WE all knew the episode title and plot, but the casual viewers don't know that stuff. Having said that, at this point, ratings don't really matter anymore since Victorious is no longer in production. I know Dan and the cast want to make a finale, but the network doesn't. I'm glad it did well on iTunes (like most episodes), because that's where the real profit is now.

6) "So what are you gonna do about it?": That right there symbolizes exactly what Beck described (to Tori) as a girl who challenges him. That was the exact opposite of what Meredith would have said. She didn't give in by saying "me too", but she didn't reject him by saying "too bad, leave".

Overall I'm satisfied. The bad news is, there are only 7 episodes left. Let's all enjoy what we have left.
