[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really disliked Beth in the latest episode. She’s being petty, immature and unrealistic with the dance stuff. She wanted to skip Randall’s work dinner to go get drinks with her boss?  :roll: And she refuses to teach fewer classes or only weekend classes to accommodate Randall’s schedule? (His schedule is ridiculous in itself but she’s the one who has more flexibility here). She lost her job and was on board with him running (til she wasn’t of course). She needs to suck it up and do what needs to be done for her family. She’s putting her “dreams” ahead of everyone else when she had, what, 20 years to get back into it? NOW she decides to go all in? Selfish. [/quote]

I did not even really like the Beth centric episode which a lot of people loved.  In hindsight, I think it was because it felt foreign to the show - nothing felt familiar to the Beth we knew.  It was like the writers were trying too hard for a storyline for her.  So yep, apparently they took one of my favorite strong characters and turned her into a 5 year old.  She was mad her husband was late to a dance recital....for kids....that she taught for a few weeks.   That was so ridiculous.  I turned the episode off as soon as she started this fit. I think I am done.  [/quote]

Agree with both of the above. It just feels so inauthentic to the character and their relationship. The hallmark of their marriage was their good relationship skills— respect, communication, fair fighting, honesty. They’re displaying so little of it. I think that’s also part of why the whole city council story is so stupid. It makes no sense that Beth and Randall would decide to pursue that when they’d just adopted Deja. They were great parents, and it doesn’t ring true that they would take on such crazy time and logistical challenges when they were still settling into their new family configuration. Both of them lost parents as teens, so they’re both sensitive to the need to be there for their teenage kids.

I hate it when good shows get stupid.[/quote]
