    Then last episode needed to be make all three dates awful or perfect. But setting one date aside from the other two (as a less idealized, more realistic version of love and affection) set up a narrative sign post towards that ultimate romantic choice (even as a throwaway line).

    Make all dates awful or make all dates perfect and the show has absolutely stuck within narrative parameters. The minute the show made one "better," it stuck a signpost there. Kicking it over and going "ha! fooled you!" is not redefining tropes, it's just bad writing.


    But was one réally better? Weren't Nathaniel's and Josh's date very much Nathaniel/Josh-dates and Greg's nondate very much a typical Gregdate?
    It's not like that episode stopped people from rooting for any of the guys.

    I cried when they pulled back from Jessica's doorstep and showed the rest of the Justice League there to support her.  Although I was slightly miffed that the producers didn't think to include Sheri, since I don't think there's any way she wouldn't have been there within the fiction of the narrative.

    The one black mark on an otherwise stellar episode was Clay telling Hannah that he couldn't forgive her.  What does she need your forgiveness for, asshole?

    Jessica pulled a similar thing on Alex at his party I think.
    I guess someone taking their life leaves you so powerless that 'blaming them' can happen.. Just like all those people who feel suicide is selfish, because you should think of all the people around you. (Personally not something I completely agree on. Sure it's sad how much Hannah's decision affected most of these people, but in the end 'think about the others!' is not the most convincing argument to somebody who's depressed (as well as probably convinced people are better of without her))
