Riley being Cory and Topanga's daughter, it makes sense for her to think that's the way it should go. <br /><br />I mind them STAYING with the soulmate concept, instead of doing the right thing and destroying it. <br /><br />What I wish they had done was deconstruct this more quickly than they have--knock Lucas Friar off his pedestal of Bucky McBoring/Disney Prince in Season 1. Hindsight's twenty-twenty, but an easy way to do this was to have him be Farkle's bully in "Flaws." <br /><br />Alternatively, I would have given Riley multiple love interests, two or three a season, and then have her learn something important about relationships from each: Don't put someone on a pedestal; Don't commit too quickly; Take an interest in their interests; Recognize the importance of privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382001792347152845.post-67371416976323230082016-03-20T11:25:30.265-07:002016-03-20T11:25:30.265-07:00that sounds hilarious.that sounds hilarious.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773515281303659184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382001792347152845.post-49911654575951353252016-03-20T11:21:16.297-07:002016-03-20T11:21:16.297-07:00Long time reader first time commenter.

Apparently in the first season of GMW Maya's character was supposed to be the bad influence on the main character and lived a rough life as their fathers leaving them like Shawn's and TK's did. But that has seem to change during the course of seasons 1&2 as Maya is becoming more of the lead role than Riley. Maybe instead of Riley having the older brother they should've gave it to Maya. Maybe next season her brother from her dad's new family will have a role in her life in high school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351686928378265446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382001792347152845.post-49680556580997564772016-03-19T06:28:10.141-07:002016-03-19T06:28:10.141-07:00Good review Christian.

Sorry I haven't been around.<br /><br />In response to somer, I think the whole "we were always good at talking with each other" thing, may not actually be "show, don't tell." I think it may have been Riley trying to convince herself a platonic friendship with Lucas would still be good. <br /><br />We are talking about a kid who was part of a supposedly close group of friends and apparently is so hopelessly oblivious to the world around him that he didn't know that Riley was a die-hard Knicks fan.<br /><br />Now in response to pwfan,<br /><br />It doesn't help matters that Lucas was part of the main cast. Topanga wasn't, really. If Riley fawned over Lucas from afar, it'd be far more palatable because as far as the first season is concerned, a distant crush has an element of mystery to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382001792347152845.post-77035716691527259352016-03-17T21:24:08.930-07:002016-03-17T21:24:08.930-07:00All of this stems from one common theme: the write...All of this stems from one common theme: the writers are not good at the whole "showing, not telling" thing.<br /><br />They *tell* us that Lucas is a great guy. They *tell* us that Riley and Lucas have a great relationship and were "always good at talking with each other". They *tell* us that Maya and Riley are very different from each other.<br /><br />We've seen quite a few times that none of this was shown to us. None of this stuff has a chance to organically develop because the writers seem so dead-set at some mysterious "end game" that they force the existence of these dynamics by insisting they are.somerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612903056132880682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382001792347152845.post-37259063881388382652016-03-17T18:00:02.093-07:002016-03-17T18:00:02.093-07:00Something came to me earlier today.

In Boy Meets World, during the Corpanaga/Lauren/Breakup arc, we had stuff going on that still moved around. Lauren also is 1000x more interesting than Lucas. It wasn't always good like when Shawn became an alcoholic, but there was also Eric Hollywood. They knew we were getting bored, so they sent Eric over to LA and he met Ben Sandwich and Shroder. We also met one of Michael Jacobs' bratty kids but man, that episode was funny. <br /><br />On this show, the kids sit around and mope about their first world problems.

The object of affection wasn't fleshed out. Throughout the 1st season, and parts of the 2nd, Lucas was nothing more than a façade. A 2 dimensional character with no character flaws. He was the living embodiment of an old school Disney prince. He was so paint-by-numbers, that it hurt Peyton's development. He's only now getting to act like a real person. On top of that, his only real life tangible quality was the fact he's not a bad looking guy, who girls would obviously swoon over. He was a Ken doll. You can't generate attachment or emotion over a Ken doll.<br /><br />2. Commitment too early. Riley was head over heals from the word go. There was no real time to show affection or sentiment between the two. To establish a base between them as characters and us in the audience. Cory and Topanga was built slowly over time. We knew they were meant for each other, but we enjoyed the ride to that conclusion due to the journey they took to get there. So far, the journey for Riley/Lucas has been an unpaved, bumpy mess. They even paid off on it at the end of Season 1 when they kissed. On kids TV, that's typically the climax of a romantic angle. And we got it way earlier than normal. That's just bad writing.<br /><br />3. Are they different? Are Riley and Maya demonstrably different as characters. As many have said, Maya is nowhere near the kid Sean was. Shawn wasn't a hellion, per say, but he also did have genuine problems and issues staying out of trouble. While Maya clearly has experienced a rough life, she really is just a rougher version of Riley. There aren't enough differences to establish that Lucas has hard choice on his hands.

Love triangles work best when someone has to choose between two different people, who often represent two different things (sides of a personality, parts of their life) and we have that. I just can't figure out where the writers went wrong on this. "Gilmore Girls" had love triangles that worked well.
