UnREAL 1.10

Future

- the season finale both for UnREAL and Everlasting; for Everlasting things seem to move extremely fast and fluidly; ultimately UnREAL is about what happens behind the scenes and not about what happens in front of the cameras
- Rachel goes through quite a bit; she leaves Jeremy for Adam but that turns south when Adam gets cold feet after talking to Quinn; Jeremy gets wise to what she and Adam were up to and tricks Adam into confirming it for him; then Jeremy embarrasses Rachel in front of the entire crew; for her part Rachel does what she can to poison Adam's well and it seems to work
- Quinn doesn't have quite as wild a ride as Rachel; Chet undercuts her in a couple ways early on; she returns the engagement ring; she pulls a stunt on the Everlasting season finale which is being aired live and goes to prove how invaluable she is to the show and how inept Chet is
- the show ends with Quinn and Rachel hanging out after the season finale; it's a nice character moment which highlights how similar they are and how good they are for one another

- got to admit to a little disappointment with the brief glimpses at the season finale of Everlasting; I guess it is no different that in previous episodes; Everlasting contained most of the comedic moments; the darker and more serious moments happened behind the camera and offstage
- there were lots of little moments that crackled with energy but they didn't really add up to a big explosive ending; the ending was definitely more muted than what I hoped for or expected; honestly I wasn't sure how they could end it in a way that would fully satisfy me; it did keep me guessing right up until the very end as to how it would wind up
- among the little twists that I enjoyed was the return of Britney even though I had it spoiled for me, although all I knew was that she would be back
- does Rachel know that Quinn is the one who talked Adam out of running away with her? it certainly seems that way but the way that final scene goes with Rachel and Quinn makes me think that Rachel secretly agrees with Quinn that romance of the sort she hoped to experience with Adam is a bunch of BS
- I'm ready for more but season 2 isn't available on Hulu just yet
