Tyra does need a good shaking at the moment. I'm not even sure what her reasons are. Does she have fear of commitment? Jean is pretty fantastic, but I must admit I'm really attached to Tyra, and Tyra/Landry, and really would like to see that come back, but Jean is possibly a better/healthier match for Landry. We'll see - or not! How many episodes are there left until they run out? :(
I really don't think it's the end of Tim/Lyla. The way Lyla said "he makes me happy" just smacked of her trying to convince herself, and I really do think Lyla feels a certain magnetic attraction to Tim, against all her best judgment. Charlie (that's his name, right?) is sweet, but rather boring and safe, in my opinion. She has a rebellious streak in her that I don't think she's going to be able to suppress indefinitely. I did love that she gave Tim the money, because the biggest thing I hate is when Lyla's prattling on about being a good Christian and opening her heart and all that, but then refuses to help someone in need. That was a gesture that showed me that maybe she really means it, isn't just in it because it makes her feel better. On that note, the huge church scenes make me really, really uncomfortable because that kind of worship just feels so... hm, I really don't want to be insulting here, but false? This huge modern cookie cutter building, platitudes being shouted at you (seriously, they jut say the same things over and over) and lots of waving your arms about - it just doesn't feel genuine to me. My point here though is that despite that context, they're really making me sympathize with Lyla, which I appreciate.
Haha, sorry, didn't mean to ramble!
The ratings make me so sad too :( This show is too good to die an early death. The writers strike certainly won't help either :(
