If Loving SoN is wrong, I Don't want to be Right!

[mood| sick]

So I just finished watching the penulimate episode of "South of Nowhere" and I have no words to express how much I love this show! Where's the dollar bill, cause I need some more of this crack.



So that opening scene in the bathroom was perfection. Ah, lip gloss flirting, who knew you could be so satisfying? Plus, it allowed Mandy Musgrave to deliver at line that was of equal hotness to those jeans she was wearing last week, "Trust me, it [if they kiss] won't be spontaneous" ... and *swoon*

Also, Madison and Mini-Madison (who I will forever love because of her "Madison your face! Your face!" last week when Maddy and Ashley were fighting) are hilarious. They're complete bitches (esp. Madison) but they're so funny. I mean Madison is no early 'Buffy' Cordelia Chase, but she's aiming for that and you gotta love her for it.

Also, Spencer got one of the best lines. To Glen, "Before I answer that I just want to say that you suck!" Hee. How many times have I wanted to say this Glen? Oh, they are too numerous to count. But it's nice to know the writers are aware that he's a complete ass too.

I have to say I felt soooooooo bad for Ashley for like the entire episode. First of all she has to deal with Spence calling her a ho ("You're used to being talked about, front page trash" OUCH!) and then freaking out at her when Ash said that Madison was trying to break them up. Ashley's "You know I'm sorry that this is so terrible for you, but what hurts the most is that you don't want anybody to think it's true ... even if it is a lie" made me just want to hug her. Then she has to deal with Glen all up in her face about turning Spencer gay, and then Madison and Tweendle Dum rubbing the Spencer/Aiden date in her face. Sigh, Ash gets shit on so much by everybody, and in addition to Mandy Musgrave's absolutely adorable pouty face just makes me want to hug her and get her a bowl of ice-cream perpetually.

Aiden, was actually cool. I loved how he kept on calling Spencer out on whether she really wanted to be with him on the Worst. Date. Ever. And yes, Aiden, you are whipped for driving the girl you were just making out with over to the house of the girl she REALLY wanted to make out with. And you're so much cooler for it.

Ashley kissing girls is hot. Her "friend" wasn't really, but the kissing was hot. I thought they were going to get all old skool Jenny/Marina in that washroom stall, and really they did in a PG-13 kinda way. But the best part of that scene was that it established that when Spashley happens we'll definately get to see kissage, and gropage, which gets two thumbs up from me.

And finally the end scene. SOOOOO cute. First of all, sleepy, coked out Ashley is hot. Seriously the messy hair and underwear lounging = hot. Also, I loved that Ashley spent the whole night talking about Spencer to Random Girl. Their love is pure! And Spencer got a chance to say the line that sent girls around the world swooning, "I didn't want to deal with being gay ... but I couldn't deal with not being with you" *SWOON* Also that scene brought the funny:

ASH: I'm not easy.
SPENCE: That's not what I heard.
Hee.

Plus, Ashley then laying her head in Spencer's lap as Spence stroked her hair was soo sweet and cute.

Sigh, I love this show. Is it next week yet? *rubbing hands together in anticipation of hand holding*

Yes, yes and yes. The addiction that is SoN continues and grows.

In addition to what you mentioned above, I also love all the scenes involving Sean. His defense of the alternate meaning of family. His gratitude and relief at his cousin's recovery, and the support he received from his friends was great.

Every time I think they're going to turn Aiden into another Glen, scenes like these come along and I'm reminded that he's far cooler. Even if he does act the high school jock on occassion. So whipped

A cute, funny, sad, awwww episode, that just makes me love Ashley and Spencer all the more.

But for ultimate cute moment I must nominate the first few seconds of next week's preview. So cute!

You are SO right about the crack. Cause my download is still... *looks at the window* Only 54% done, and this recap has me actually shaking for my fix!

Hi, this has absolutely nothing to do with this post (though I am now really interesting in "South of Nowhere" which I'd never heard of before), but I just wanted to let you know why some random stranger was adding you to her flist (not really random, though, since there is a reason). I found you because you are one of only two other people to list Letty/Mia as an interest (three including me), and then I thought you sounded very interesting when I read through your latest public posts. So hello.

I'm so addicted to Spashley goodness right now. It's amazing almost.

I can't wait for them to actually get together because this storyline has been so real and honest (if perhaps more positive than my own coming out).

I heard rumors that there will indeed be a second season, so I'm hoping they'll explore the Spencer/Ashley relationship to its fullest...and not just have them break up right away. I hate that.

Loved your review - right on the money!

Bwah! I agree with all of the above. Aiden is soooo a-dork-able when he's swooning over Spencer and clearly sees she wants to be with Ashley. I also love the moments when I yelled at the screen, "I don't care if you're doing a great job at playing a sixteen year-old, you have the amrs of the twenty-five year-old that you are Gabrielle Christian." and [at the hoe that makes out with Ashley at that teen-y bopper bar] "That is not the rack of a teenager!"

Also, suck-tastic! I TiVO'd it and the damn thing cut out before they showed the previews. Were they pretty? Was there much girl kissing? Or more to the point, much Ashley/Spencer kiss-age?
