I just do NOT understand…

So let me get this straight…for 5 years an entire fandom has been seeing that these two people are utter soulmates in every way. Last year they finally made good on the promise to be there for each other in sorrow and in joy both at work and everywhere else. Their marriage was an extension of their deep love and respect for each other.

NOW all of a sudden you are spouting this complete nonsense about how essentially their marriage was some trauma response, they don’t really know each other, to justify total out of character actions to justify what I think promises to be a bullshit and poorly written show exit that will leave us all shaking our heads?

Just because you remark something in an interview does not make it so. We have seen this character grow and develop. Yesterday we saw a shell. Someone who can now justify Voight’s bad behavior and leaves his partner (let alone wife) to go into an unsafe situation alone while he sits in the van? What?

Well we are not having it. It just makes no sense. I would rather jay go out dying in character than not die doing shit that is completely OOC for the character that has been crafted consistently for 10 years. (Ok I do not want him to die at all I am just being dramatic to make a point).

Use what little Upstead screentime there is left to remind us how this is the best, well-crafted ship on TV that has proven to weather the best and worst together. Instead we are getting tension and insecurity.

In other news, the professionalism and work ethic of this cast and crew is admirable. I know Jesse said in an interview once that being on a soap opera for so long (in his younger days) helped you justify almost any crazy script or character shift but this has to be a lot for anyone to take in. And here they are killing it anyway.

Off now for a Burzek shitshow interlude before we spend his last episode watching what appears to be a character and ship assasination.

#gwen needs to stop giving interviews #make it make sense #hope you are all doing ok #also where the F was truckstead #are we assasinating truckstead too?#upstead
