I'm 3/4 of the way through Bunheads and dude, he's a stalker. I mean, a nice one, but seriously.
... and now I got to the end. WTF indeed! Well, that certainly changes the situation.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

I thought it had to happen -- there's no way to make her sympathetic if she's married to a man she doesn't love. Plus, the setup is clearly the relationship between her and her new MiL.
I'm weirdly disappointed. It's SO Gilmore Girls -- magical tiny town where everyone knows each other, Emily Gilmore in dance shoes, Lorelei without a daughter (but convenient teens for her to be cool with) and in dance shoes -- that it feels like I've already seen this show.

It is very GG, Amy. And I keep wanting to see Lauren Graham there--she's so much Lorelei Gilmore.
But I liked GG, and I'm in the mood for something light. So I might watch some more.
Although I think you could make her sympathetic: it was clear she really liked Hubble, and that could have been one of the storylines, the growing love. So I was shocked they cut it off.

Me too.
I am sorely disappointed. I love Cameron.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She's pregnant, right? Seems like an obvious set-up.

oh sweet mercy.

I was under the impression the first time they had sex was during the party, so pregnancy seems a little unlikely to me, but who knows?

In general I would go with the pregnancy storyline, but... here I think not. It's one of the advantages of a woman showrunner, I wager.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
in "real life" if such a situation occurred, the new bride would bolt from the town like her hair was on fire. Nothing really is keeping her here except the view from the master bedroom.
So the next ep really needs to sell why she would stay in that town now. I don't need a hard sell, just a reasonable attempt.

It's not like he would have had time to write weird conditions into his will, either, like, "You'll be taken care of for life, but you have to stay here and teach dance with dear old mom."
I'm going to keep watching for a little while because DANCERS! I hope the show finds its own identity, though, instead of just borrowing from the Gilmores.
