I completely disagree with the first part of your post. I would, however, like it better if the storylines were more evenly spread out amongst the cast.
NO SHOCKER THERE, OF COURSE ITS ANDY...WHO ELSE! PLUS?!... Looks like Swarek is back with her YAAAAAAY COME ON Rooke Blue, give me a good pre birthday show with some good swarek/andy action!!
I not only completely disagree with the first part of your comment, but also with the rest of it. Andy is gorgeous, and for God's sake, she's the main character! I believe the other characters are just as great as she is, and they've got plenty of story!
Just because a girl is pretty doesn't mean that the plot of the show has to revolve around her while other story lines fall by the wayside without so much as a second glance. True, the other characters do have story lines, but do they impact the show? No. If they wanted this show to be just about her they should have called it "The Andy McNally Show". People call this the cop version of Grey's Anatomy but one thing that Rookie Blue fails at is the intertwining of story lines and interdependence of characters that Grey's has. Instead it just has Andy screwing up or being whiny about stuff during every episode. If no one here knows what a Mary-Sue character is, she is pretty much the definition.
I don't think the show revolves around her because she's pretty, of course it doesn't hurt, I think the show revolves around her because she's the main character and if you're bored with her whining about stuff and screwing up then watch a different show because as far as the ratings show the series is pretty popular just as it is. Quite frankly I'm so dragged into her plot that I'm afraid if they spent too much time on anyone else I'd get bored and possibly stop watching the show. P.S In Grey's Anatomy the main character in Meredith and for s good chunk of the seasons it is or was about her and Derek, they focused on the other people about as much as they do in rookie blue I'd say.
I didn't mean that the plot of the show has to revolve around her because she's pretty. I said gorgeous like great, awesome, that sort of thing. She screw up sometimes, but in so many times she has proved herself so good, like every human being. She doesn't have to be everyone's favorite character, like Meredith isn't my favorite character in Grey's Anatomy. But i desagree when people say that it's all about Andy. It's only natural that she shows up a bit more, but the other characters also have their space. Ok, maybe they should have more time - i'm okay with that. I would love know more about Dov's story, for example. But i'm sure they'll show it. It's just the overstatement that bothers me.

LIttle bit on the short side.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. She just got a boot, full-force right in the back. Something like that can be brutal, especially in a vulnerable position like that.
ReplyDeleteAndy's is the weak link of this show. she is so annoying... Please focus on the other characters.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you Bruce_F on the need for them to be more spread out.
