13x11 You Oughta Know Postmortem


I’m really starting to feel like each episode as of late just has so much going on for it in a 30 minute period. I get that teens have short attention spans in this day in age however it just feels all over the place…..sure despite the episodes not being titled part one/part two the plots seem to flow over for two episodes at a time but still…..I think things would work much better if it went to an A/B format instead of ABC…..

Anyway my initial thoughts/comments on the plots
I’m going to assume Clare was A Miles/Tristan was B and Imogen was C and so with that in mind….

Clare…. Has the cancer spread to her brain or is the stress getting the better of her. She’s forgetting assignments, using the wrong wording, and putting out a libelous article about Zoe out in a national magazine. I think the latter alone is going to kill her chances at getting into Columbia that is if her grades don’t get the better of her first. Also Clare’s wardrobe this season is just awful at best.  Sidenote I can’t wait to see Clare’s reaction when she finds out Lenore is not just a friend and classmate but she’s also Eli’s ROOMATE…….speaking of when is Dorm Life Episode 2 scheduled to come out?

Also I want to point out in relation to Clare’s plot that Alli for the first time this season I didn’t want to punch in the face proving she’s much better as a satellite character then being in the center of another tragic love story.

And a third point from this plot… Clew yea total Bro-T-P

Tristan---- He just wants to have a best friend….however giggles McGee…I mean Maya says he has one. Tristan clarifies saying he wants a guy one and he’s happy that Miles invited him over…..truth is he invited all the grade tens at least those that matter plus a few random extras over to his house for a party and besides Winston is Miles’s BFF. Well Miles and Tristan make it onto the basketball team however only the Seniors are starters and Miles is bummed cause it’s just one more thing to disappoint his dad and all he needs is an edge and by edge he means steroids. Tristan ends up getting the hook up but not from resident dealer Zig who isn’t even in the episode cause he’s so disjoined from the other tenners that I feel he’s going to be phased into the black hole of no return one day….anyway back to the drugs he gets them apparently from Owen who I would think knows better since remember he pretty much shunned/dumped Anya cause of her drug use back in 11A.


Imogen--- She wants to have a TV Production/News/Broadcast I really couldn’t figure that part out club and gets it green lit cause it won’t cost student council which is apparently in the red financially any money thanks to a media grant…..however Drew stipulates Imogen must have a partner to run it….she agrees and makes Drew sit through the interviews and ends up picking Winston….sure he was horrible in his interview but there was no way she was going to pick Becky. Sure she was the best person bar none but she’s too perky and her audition about texting and driving….yea….big reminder that she was screwing around (making out) with Becky’s boyfriend before he died.  I have a feeling Becky and Imogen will end up getting close though and weather Becky switches teams or they just become a Bro-T-P as well I can’t wait to see more interactions between them.
