Or maybe I just object to the underlying premise that Jo is young and pretty and therefore *must* be unhappy without a man in her life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What changed for Jo between last week and this one? Zane didn't change, and we didn't see her get over her dumbassed issue.
Liked the ep, don't even dislike Zane as much as many of you do. But the writing of Jo/Zane is leaving me stone cold.
I like Callie. She's talky, but it's so much better than them turning away from each other because of the mutually fueled misunderstanding of the other's interest.
You know, the bit where the door closes between them and they both lean on it and sigh wistfully?
Nah, she put herself out there and stood behind it.
Cool.

Nothing. I think we are objecting to the last two weeks of Jo/Zane. No chemistry between the actors, the characters are wrong for each other, and we really really like Jo well enough not to want to see her fall for that dick Zane. Also while it is not impossible for someone like Jo to fall for someone like Zane, they did nothing to make us believe it. I don't get the impression you disagree with any of that, but could be wrong.

I wasn't asking you, Gar. I was asking the show.

Ah, sorry. Misread your post.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Never happened, Frank. Not at all. LalalalalaICAN'THEARYOU. It cut straight from Stark and Henry being evil mad scientist lab partners to Sheriff Tightpants Grabass in lurve.
OK, so what I'm getting is that I should only be half disappointed Sci-Fi made me miss the last five minutes, then?

Yeah, that always bugs me... when they drag out that 'they keep missing each other-but they both really LIKE each other so why can't they be together?!' thing. I don't hate Zane either, I just wish they explored more of the 'eureka talent scout' idea. thought that might have been fun. Where does Zane even live? Did I miss that?

I'm all for Allison ignoring Carter in favor of things heating back up with Stark, and Carter starting something with the nice invisible dry cleaning lady. Both couples make more sense to me than Carter/Allison did.
