On the Rayna and Deacon (and their families) show...
Nashville 3.12 I’ve Got Reasons to Hate You
Three weeks on and Juliette’s fractiousness at being near ready to pop was pretty amusing. Glenn and Bucky have a lot to deal with from their singers – I mean, Rayna’s suggestion wasn’t really meeting the PR need as described by Bucky, even if it was all she could cope with. (This episode’s theme was definitely ‘powerlessness’, although I might not have worked that out if I had posted my reactions immediately and without Deacon’s second address to an AA meeting.)
Slightly unexpectedly, Micah continues to be a thing. His grandparents are still terrible at bringing up children. It shouldn’t take Gunnar to work out that telling their truth about Jason to a reeling kid led to his acting out.
Scarlett’s hair was MASSIVE in her first scene. She and Deacon were still funny until he had his seizure. Er, how did Scarlett emerge as is when Beverley is like she is? Although what Scarlett is asking/emotionally manipulating Beverley into doing is pretty major. Also, I presume they all knew Beverley’s blood type and that it was compatible, because they slid right past that to the more complicated test.
Meanwhile, I thought Panettiere’s slightly more bluesy vocal was good, while Maddie and Daphne’s track was too loud for their voices.
I melted at Avery being understanding, as he should be at this stage of the pregnancy. (I think it’s a bit rich having Juliette worrying about her voice as she’s not A Voice, as much as A Star, as per Jeff’s taxonomy.)
We avoided bad wigs in the flashback (although Britton’s hair looked in much better condition straightened out – maybe it was a good wig) with the effect. And so, the Bluebird was a bad idea for other reasons than the ones I thought (not enough people, not enough press or social media coverage likely). I thought Sadie was going to give her a ‘buck up’ speech.
Maddie was, as ever, such a teenager that her claim that Teddy respecting Rayna’s experience was ‘weak’ was derisory.
Really enjoyed the Claybourne-O’Connor singalong – I don’t think we’ve had many trios with two female vocalists and one male one on the show, so it was partly novelty. But how things ended up with that family was mainly about how much Scarlett needs Deacon and vice-versa, and what a number Beverly did on Scarlett, although I had masses of sympathy for Beverly too.
(Ay, Deacon needs to tell Maddie.)
I like that they found a way for Maddie and Rayna to help each other, and their song was lovely.
I would love it if what brought Jeff down was a suit from Angie his assistant about how he treats her.
So, is the show promising that Rayna’s head will explode in the next episode, in a sudden generic twist? Should I do a list of things that are unlikely to happen on Nashville? One of them could be that Daphne, angry that Maddie is getting a music career, turns her back on singing and sport and joins a street dancing crew.
