Re: Eric & Calleigh #25 --Traffic-Jam In The Pleasure Grotto
What a crap premiere. I knew it was coming, but I was still kinda hopeful.
The triangle. Oh, man. First of all, Eric is seething with jealousy. The way he was looking at Jake, it's like he wanted to rip his head off (can't blame him there). So the heat is on. It doesn't look like Eric sees Jake as a big threat, either.
I don't know what to think about Calleigh. Being with Jake just seems so out of character for her. She doesn't really look at him like a woman who is in love. In fact, the way she looked at Eric in Burned... there's no comparison. She just looks at Jake like, "okay, good sex, good times." It just doesn't seem special. If it's supposed to be, then Johnny and Emily aren't selling it. It was really flat and they just don't match, physically or otherwise. It just feels really off. They're like two teenagers learning how to flirt for the first time.
After tonight, I'm pretty sure they're gonna have Jake screw up in one way or another. Either he'll get a job offer in another state and leave or he's gonna mess things up. It's really obvious. I was hoping Calleigh would leave him because it's Eric she loves, but that would be good writing and that doesn't go with this show. So I think things are gonna move slower. and it's gonna take Calleigh a while, because I think Jake is gonna break her heart. She's giving him a second chance thinking people can change and if this is a new and improved Jake? I don't wanna think what he was like back in the academy. A total scum.
The comments Jake made to Calleigh were pretty damn stupid and completely chauvinistic. Jake is kind of a pig and that came through tonight. And I'm sorry, but I don't think that's something the Calleigh we know appreciates. Jake is the kinda guy who sits on the couch all day and then orders his wife to make him a sandwich and slaps her in the ass as she walks by. So what is Jake and Calleigh about, really? They don't have a deep connection, they don't have much chemistry, their personalities don't match at all. I guess the sex must be good, but honestly, this is so out of character for Calleigh I don't even know what to make of it.
She's playing with fire and she's gonna get burned and Eric is gonna be there to pick up the pieces. I'm willing to put money on that.
