Fitzsimmons

Episode Review

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR 4722 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty chill.

Before y'all freak out on me, let me explain:

1. We got a fantastic episode of our favorite science princess Jemma surviving and getting excited over science, which is beautiful.

2.  Elizabeth was so good!!!  She portrayed everything so well and I'm so happy she's gotten recognition for that!

3.  Have any of you read the Hunger Games?  I'm going to use lots of analogies to that, k?  Jemma is obviously Katniss, because she's the badass heroine survivor warrior.  Fitz is supportive, positive, friendly, helpful Peeta.  Will is survival-oriented, cynical Gale.  Sure, Gale helps Katniss through a fair share of difficulties and saves her life countless times.  But Peeta ended up ultimately saving Katniss's personality, or preserving it, rather, and that's why (spoilers) Katniss chooses Peeta in the end.

4.  It's just a "we're the only two people on the planet" scenario.  Will could be replaced with any other random human, and they likely would've had the same relationship.  They saw it as a zero-hope situation, so they tried to find something to be happy about with each other.

5.  Fitz isn't shutting her out, he's helping her do whatever she wants.  Because he's devoted and dedicated to Jemma.  He spent those six months trying to rescue her, and he spent all of his time supporting her when she got back.  Of course it's his duty to help her save the person who saved her, no matter what kind of relationship Jemma and Will had.

6.  When they reopen the portal and try to rescue Will, there's a good chance he'll be:
    a) dead
    b) insane
    c) mentally stuck on that lifestyle
    d) not ready for a changed Earth
    e) feeling too guilty about interfering with fitzsimmons

7.  Dillion Casey, who plays Will, is listed as a guest star

8.  They wouldn't have a long term character be introduced and kissed in their first episode

9.  Even if he does come back:
    a) the team would hate him
    b) he'd hate the team
    c) Fitz would befriend him and he'd feel too guilty again
    d) Jemma would realize how wrong they are together

In conclusion, Will x Jemma is just a phase.  It came from a place of despair and hopelessness, and they will move past it.

Also, I'd like to point out that I once again predicted this.  #clairvoyance continues.

Chill.  It's just a quick, stupid love triangle.  Every show has them.

Goodnight!

Peace Out.

UPDATE: So apparently Wattpad only allows 200 chapters of a book, so I think I'm going to try and stretch this out to the winter finale, and make a second book for 3.5 on.  Thanks!
