I just really love EClare ok
February 2012
lol. The dinner in Lovegames was so awkward. Clare was all annoyed off, Helen was getting drunk and having eyesex, with Glen, Jake was shoving chicken into his mouth. Then the one, in "Dead and Gone" was made awkward by Glen's comment about being a leg man, to Helen. No wonder Jake is so enthralled by the chicken. I wouldn't want to have to watch my father and stepmom be all gross like that, either.
I don’t like how Helen is leaving her in the dark. She just drops all these bombs on Clare and expecting her to just accept it. “Oh, honey, we’re divorcing. Oh, honey, I’m dating again — I know the divorce papers haven’t been finalized, but oh well. Oh, honey, I’m getting married. What? You’re with Jake? Sorry, lol, I’m the adult, so you to have to break up.”
It’s no wonder that Clare’s falling through the cracks. Her mom is acting like a 13-year-old who just got her first boyfriend, and if the description is anything to go by, her dad’s pretty much out of her life. Everything she’s known up until now is a lie.
It sort of stuns me, how protective Helen was, in season eight and how she is, now. It struck me as strange that she didn't even notice her daughter crying, at the end of last Friday's episode and the fact that she didn't think about talking to Clare, about how close she and Glen were getting. And that neither she nor Randall thought to talk to her about Randall's cheating, and she had to find out by finding the divorce papers. I'm hoping that the Summer/Clare storyline opens Helen's eyes.
I know, right? I mean. how didn’t she catch on that Clare was upset? I really hope that Helen smartens up too. She’s supposed to be Clare’s mother and yet she’s not acting like one.
lol. He really does need to learn table manners. He eats as if, he's not gonna eat for weeks. I'll probably find the awkward dinner amusing.
“I’M A GROWING BOY. I NEED NO MANNERS. OMNOMNOM.”
Jake's obsession with chicken disturbs me, greatly. And it still makes me facepalm that Jake is going to make family dinner even more awkward, by inviting some girl to one, in "Not Ready to Make Nice". I feel bad for the girl. I think that she is going to be so uncomfortable, betweem Glen and Helen having eyesex across the table, Clare shooting death glares, and Jake eating chicken.
Jake’s love for chicken makes me chuckle. And the boy needs to learn some table manners. But yeah, I agree… dinner is gonna be super awkward.
