Natural Camouflage brought on by an intense shy desire to become wallpaper?
I think she looks great. "Fashion" is just something that cliquish people arbitrarily define so they can shame other people for not conforming.
Disney pickled her brain with princess crap.
How timely that this episode turned out to be a condemnation of just that kind of cliquish shaming, and a statement of the principle that the only person whose approval you really need is yourself -- and that you certainly don't need the approval of people so shallow and petty as to think that how you dress or style your hair or whatever determines your worthiness to exist or be treated humanely.
This show's ties to Doctor Who continue... This episode was written by Gareth Roberts, who's don'e a bunch of Who novels since the '90s and has written several episodes of the modern Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Or if you wear your heart on your sleeve, maybe you shouldn't agree to be on a "reality" show. She wasn't aware of how people on that kind of show behave? And we should feel sympathy that she was ok with forcing people to magically worship her? She was childish and creepy.
Oh, great, blame the victim, as if the bullies were somehow entitled to be cruel to anyone who didn't see it coming. What a hideous attitude.
She was a lonely, vulnerable person who was taken advantage of by people with more selfish motives -- first the producers and competitors on the TV show, then Apep in the body of the witch. She made the wrong choices because she was goaded into them by her exploiters.
Oh please, Christopher. I wasn't BLAMING her for being stupid/naive but I don't feel sympathy for her either. This show is supposed to be silly and that's ok, but are we supposed to be ok with her enslaving others because her widdle feelings were hurt? Who was the bully here?
Of course she's responsible for what she did as the cult leader, but it is vile to say that the bullying the reality-show people subjected her to was her fault for not being "aware" of what she was getting into. She was the victim in that situation, and the ones you should be denouncing are the other contestants who bullied her -- or the producers of the reality show who exploited her victimization for entertainment, or the audience who gobbled up her victimization. Of all the people involved in that reality-show situation, she is the one least deserving of condemnation. The fact that she became a victimizer later on does NOT absolve her own victimizers for how they treated her then and there. Victims of abuse often do become abusers themselves, but their own abusers were just as wrong to do it as they were.
Well, this was a nice episode, with a cool, if subtle, twist, and some really good character work.
So Jones was immune to the love/obsession potion because he's an egomaniac in love with himself. That was hilarious all by itself. But Stone, well aware that he and Flynn are egomaniacs as well, knew there was more to it. Jones knew Cindy and loved her from before the love potion was created. I wonder if this means that Cindy will return before the season is over.
I also was impressed with Jones's insight at the end: It's not who loves you, but who you love. Jones has really grown as a character since the series began, and especially this year.
I also got a kick out of Flynn and Stone "complimenting" each other under the influence of the potion.

That's not how Jones gained his immunity.
Right at the end there was a second theory.
If they date, we'll see more of her.
Which should be fun.

Yup, I said that.
Sorry.
That couldn't have been it though, as the potion didn't create love. It created obsession, and Ezekiel definitely wasn't obsessed with her prior to exposure to the potion.
It's okay.
Maybe the love blocked the obsession. Or maybe it was the combination of egomania and love. It's insecurity that feeds obsession.
Sorry, I can't afford to buy any lightning right now. The charge is too high.
I'm jolted to hear this!
