Introducing Bluebell’s Ultimate Power Couple!

That’s a wrap folks! Hart of Dixie has said goodbye for the summer but the shenanigans of our favourite Bluebell residents will continue in the fall! That said, the finale was a bit lacklustre…a bit meh. And frankly, I’m not even sure I have a whole lot to say about it! But I’ll be sure to give it a try!

I did like the ending of the episode. Giving some of the characters a bit of a different direction might prove revitalising for next season. And hopefully create some new story lines, though preferably none which includes the giant asshole with a stethoscope, Jonah (ugh).

With fairy tale music striking chords in our romantic hearts, the dream within the dream turns out to be reality! Zoe did indeed have a good time with Wade no matter how much she wants to Inception her way out of remembering it! And then George walks in.

I’m about to make a questionable decision.

Last night was the penultimate episode of Hart of Dixie, Season 2. Aaaaand, well really there isn’t that much to say! I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it but I am interested in seeing how all this will come to head in the finale.

The good news? Hart of Dixie is getting a third season! I’m so happy this is turning into a little show who could. It’s quirky and charming and visiting Bluebell every week is guaranteed to chase the blues away (see what I did there?). Also, I’m seriously hoping we get to see lots more of Shelby and AB next season!

Another great piece of news: Rose is back! We need more Rose in Bluebell! She’s the only one who can talk some sense into our little drama queen, Dr Zoe Hart. To be fair though, it’s not entirely always Zoe’s fault that there is so much drama! She just kind of attracts the drama, poor thing! Thankfully there are at least three people in Bluebell that stand by Zoe despite the drama: Lavon, Wade, and Rose.

Now, I had a theory last week about break-ups, hook-ups, and possible marriage proposals aaaaand can’t say I was far off base there! But then again, May sweeps and all.

So let’s get to it!

Southern belle vs caveman is on!

Ah, Hart of Dixie, where are you leading us? Two episodes left of the season and I still can’t quite see where all of this is headed. Hopefully that means there’s something good in store for us and not just a giant ball of WTF!

I thought maybe Brick, Shelby, and the tumour were going to be a part of a season finale cliffhanger but no, that was all resolved last night (more or less). I’ve been warding off the feeling of dread I’ve had about the writers returning to the snooze fest that is Zoe and George, mostly because I just couldn’t believe they’d go there again and it looks like I was right about that actually, so phew. And then I’ve been feeling frustrated about the fact that while we get to see Zoe unraveling after her break-up with Wade, we hardly get to see how Wade is dealing with the fallout, except that he’s finally on a mission to prove he can succeed in something.

So…I don’t really have a clue what is about to take place in the final two episodes! And I hope that’s a good thing!

Back to last night.

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou…George?

There was certainly much ado about nothing and everything in last night’s Hart of Dixie. The residents of Bluebell were behaving like the Bard himself had put a spell on them! Or you know, it was Shakespeare Night in Bluebell and Dash (who else?) probably slipped something in people’s drinks to ensure a great performance.

In any case, one way or another the good townspeople had performance anxiety running out of their ears.

Zoe did everything possible to avoid having to be Juliet to George’s Romeo, Lavon had nightmares about repeating his stuttering scarecrow incident, Brick was busy playing shrink to everyone except himself, and Lemon and Wade had some creative differences.

So obviously things are really just the same old, same old in Bluebell!

It was those whistling show tunes ducks that did it, I swear!

Aaaand we’re back! Finally! This has been quite the hellatus, no Wade on my screen and generally a considerable lack of shenanigans for over a month now. I only survived because a) chocolate and b) Stephen Amell. Can’t go wrong with those two, ever.

So, back to Bluebell and we landed smack in the middle of…spring break?

Yes my dearies, turns out our lovely Mayor Hayes has been advertising Bluebell as the best kept spring secret and everyone is invited to Lavon’s Pond Party! Where shirts are less than optional, right Wade?

Nothing much, apart from the foam fighting, has changed in Bluebell since we last saw it in early March. Zoe and Wade are still broken up, Shelby is still moving in with Brick, and Lemon is still trying to keep AB and Lavon apart. Oh, and yes, Jonah Breeland is still an obnoxious little man. There, all caught up now, right?

That’s not to say there weren’t some delicious developments in last night’s episode! Let me highlight some of them for ya! Read the rest of this entry »

Is this bonding? Are we bonding?

Welcome to Bluebell, where pity pies are a-flowing, alcohol is consumed in large quantities, and everyone is handling the aftermath of one or another break-up.

Last night Hart of Dixie and Zoe Hart did their own version of the 7 stages of grief after a relationship gone sour. After 6 days of wallowing and eating what seems like every possible form of junk food ever existed in this world, the good doctor finally gets out of bed after spending some quality time with wine bottles and lollipops.

Shock, disbelief, and depression have all come for a visit and obviously Zoe isn’t taking her heart being broken very well!

Thankfully everyone’s more than willing to feed her lots and lots of pie! Read the rest of this entry »

Last week’s Hart of Dixie made me super mad and this week’s episode made me super sad. Kudos to the writers of this show, they always ensure that my feelings are anything but apathetic! And I’m kind of invested in the characters so maybe I’m taking things a little bit too seriously?

Right, like that’s possible!

Instead of the regular scheduled programme, I’m just gonna do some reacting this week instead of recapping. It fits better with the overall mood of the episode.

We pick up the morning after the disastrous Battle of the Bands competition that Wade so successfully managed to lose by being all self-destructive and horrible. I’ve been thinking about it a bit and even though I’m super mad at Wade for seemingly being incapable of growing up, I also realise that he has so many problems and issues that he’s absolutely never ever dealt with but instead he’s carefully avoided them by drowning himself in women, booze, and a careless attitude. Obviously any and all relationship with Zoe when none of these issues have been addressed and dealt with is bound to be a failure.

So, even though haters are gonna hate, last night’s revelation wasn’t really a shock and definitely wasn’t out of character for Wade. And there is something positive to be gleaned from the whole mess (though one has to look very closely).  Read the rest of this entry »

I’m so mad you guys! I swear there’s smoke coming out of my ears! So mad that I’m ready to resort to violence and slap that Wade Kinsella silly! Damn you Wade and your never-ending insecurities!

And then I’m also super happy because Tom and Wanda!

Last night’s Hart of Dixie was a very confusing hour for me. Anger and love just battling it out like a couple of demons in my heart. Or you know, otherwise known as oscillating between laughing and crying and screaming at the blessed TV screen (or in my case the computer screen). It’s safe to say that this episode brought out the feels! So many feelings.

Can we just start by talking about that AWESOME marriage proposal?!? That was without doubt the greatest marriage proposal I’ve seen on my TV, like EVER!

LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS TO FOLLOW!  Read the rest of this entry »

She didn’t?!? Oh, hell yes she did!

There you have it, the whole town of Bluebell headed straight to the Twilight Zone and took Zoe Hart with it! It has truly happened; the good people of Bluebell have finally realised that wearing short-shorts is not the worst thing in the world and have embraced Zoe as one of their own! It only took a year or so and a serious bout of the flu.

Now, Zoe has been trying real hard to fit in but some not so fortunate turn of events, involving parade damage, syphilis infected ministers, seeing ghosts in the woods, and a disastrous New York-themed homecoming party with no crab dip, have really not made it easy for our favourite doctor to get liked and loved by the people of Bluebell.

But she finally made it!  Read the rest of this entry »

Will you be my British gentleman, ’cause this is just like a scene from a Jane Austen novel!

Yes, yes, yes! Last night’s Lovesick Blues was adorable! And so much fun! And so adorable! Right, I already said that but you know, better to hammer that in so everyone gets it. A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. OK?

Keeping up with current affairs, last night’s Hart of Dixie brought the flu to Bluebell and it wasn’t pretty. Well, wait actually everyone looked pretty darn impeccable despite the flu. Let me just tell ya that when I had the flu earlier this month it did not look pretty. At all. Make-up couldn’t even save me. But then again my name is not Rachel Bilson or Jaime King so…

The flu comes at the worst time for everyone: Mayor Hayes, who’s deeply worried about flu season destroying strawberry picking season, Lemon, who’s worried it’ll put a damper on mating season, and Zoe, who’s worried the flu will keep her away from her lover for 48 hours, and poor Rose, who’s not gonna be making it to that Black Keys concert…again.

Turns out, to Lavon’s everlasting horror, that the town of Fillmore has come up with a devious plan to steal all of Bluebell’s strawberry-picking tourists: a TV advertisement that shows a lot of creepy Stepford Wives-like people chomping down on strawberries while making Monica “Mmm, so good” noises (OK, maybe not the last part but that would have been totally awesome). Obviously this can not stand!

And to the rescue comes…George? Read the rest of this entry »
