Hart of Dixie. And go!

Hi, I am Aimee and I am starting a blog as a way to get out all of my thought on the ridiculous amount of TV that I watch. I could take the time to tell you about me but are you interested…didn’t think so. Moving right along to my first post.

Hart of Dixie. Let me just say that I started watching this show because of my mad Rachel Bilson love. I was a huge O.C. fan (though admittedly I was late to the game, the show had been cancelled by the time I started watching) I had my reservations starting with the fact that wasn’t entirely sure I bought Summer Roberts as a doctor and finishing with the fact that her nemesis was named Lemon. None of that withstanding I found the show to be an endearing throwback to the old WB shows. It was very Everwood meets Gilmore Girls (and if you read this blog much than you will come to discover that my love for Gilmore Girls knows no end).

But, I digress, I thoroughly enjoyed this season and I was on pins and needles waiting for this bubble show to be renewed. I did a little happy dance when the CW decided to move forward with season 2. I was also fairly pleased with how this season ended.

************SPOILER ALERT*********

For those of those of you who haven’t watched season 1 or the finale please discontinue reading here. If you continue then you agree to my terms. Thank you.

Zoe Hart was likable enough. I did at times find her a bit small minded where the south was concerned. I wished she would try a little harder to fit in but then it wouldn’t much of show now would it?

The initial triangle of Zoe/George and Zoe/Wade interesting enough. I leaned Zoe and Wade from day one but I didn’t dislike Zoe and George. However, I was completely annoyed when George and Zoe went to New Orleans and had their little…thing…whatever that was supposed to be. George’s break up with Lemon was too new and it seemed out of character.

I was thrilled to see Zoe and Wade make amends after Zoe hurt him so badly. I was even more thrilled to see them move on what appeared to be the road to couplesville. And I wasn’t entirely disappointed in the roadblock thrown in their way i.e. George showing up at her door and confessing his feeling for her. I am definitely excited to see what will come to pass in season 2. Fall can’t get here quickly enough (not just for Hart of Dixie but for all of my shows…more on that later.)

One more thing I want to comment on…Lemon and Lavon. Wow, I was really impressed with this storyline. It seemed a little contrived in the beginning but I really got pulled into this one. Their emotion was palpable. Lavon was truly someone I could identify with…it felt real to me. I almost liked them more than Zoe’s love life (Don’t hurt me!). I am also interested to see what Lavon will do when he find out Lemon didn’t marry George. 

Oh, Lemon and George! How predictable? “Oh no! The long time love of my life had a relationship with my friend while I was away and now I can’t marry her because my hurt feelings are just an excuse to cannodle with the new hot doctor in town!” Really? Who didn’t see that one coming?

And let me close with this, the southern accents...yikes. As a girl who grew up in Georgia, I was offended. But I will admit they became a little less aggravating as the season wore on. So, let’s hope for some more improvement in the sophomore season.

That is all. Have a nice day!

Team Zade!
