Finally...

Now we are getting somewhere... Watching this season has felt like eating wet cardboard, until now. I finally care. Please end this wonderful show in interesting way.

This Whitney girl is sooooo dumb

I just can't with Whitney's stupidity. I just can't. This was very painful to watch, this girl is the worst character ever. I'm very disgusted.

This season has been utterly awful. Bizarre flash forwards and random new characters that no one cares about. This was the first time i was completely hooked again and really thought they had it back. Whitney's section was incredible. Looking forward to the final episode now. Please though let this be the final season. They've done this show to death now. Quite literally! (Seriously how on earth can it continue without Alison and Cole?!)

This episode was horrible. Whitney has always had a skewed view of the world. But this episode made that painfully clear. She sat on the plane w/one of her father's accusers, who clearly stated "yes, i wanted to F him & NO he did not want to F me" & admitted her work wasn't good at the time. Then she blamed Noah for the depression that followed after Noah, flustered by her advances, told her the truth about her writing.

So, Whitney believes a 20-something who has the AUDACITY to write a "memoir," who does that at her age? A memoir??? Whitney buys into HER world view, all the while the audience is thinking she has the worst motivations in the world to take down a professor who DID NOT sexually abuse her, but rather, gave her a reality check & she didn't like what he had to say.

WHY Whitney wouldn't get angry about what the woman said, I guess only the writers know. It made zero sense. Worst episode of this show (well, besides S3 finale when Noah was suddenly sane & in Paris... that was the worst overall.) Any thinking person watching that exchange would feel bad for Noah, not Whitney. Noah had just agreed to pay much more for her wedding than he could afford, was kind & empathetic towards her, and in the face of exculpatory evidence, Whitney chose to blame Noah. Glad this (once great) show is heading toward its denouement, the writers have lost their minds & ruined it.
