BLAH. First of all, let's talk about the Jabian scene. I guess I like it, it was cute, but it wasn't necessary to understand that Joy had developed and she and Fabian are friends now. She could have been talking to Patricia about it. That would mirror season 1's deleted scene as well as tie up all the Joytricia stuff. Joy could have apologized to her about being so crazy. It wouldn't have needed to be about Jabian. The purpose of that moment was that Joy has changed for the better and really has chilled out. We already get that she and Fabian are just friends. We don't need to be reminded AGAIN. But Joytricia...how about some closure there, huh? Why do only the romances get their neat little ending scenes? I'll say this now. I don't think romance should be this important to the show. Season 1 understood this. Fabina's ending signified some sort of triumph, not just in getting together but also getting through it. The spotlight scenes were not romance oriented, they were character oriented or at the very least friendship oriented, which I prefer far more than romance oriented. They were things like Nina accepting her destiny and Fabian being the one person not to show fear to Rufus. Things like Jerome flipping out and asserting himself on the good side. Things like Jason and Victor showing depth and some sort of character development. That's literally all I'm asking for. Character moments. Even just the way a character speaks or the expression on their face can tell you loads about them, the situation, and what they're feeling. Even Fabina was just a part of something bigger. It's why the final shot was the cup, not the kiss. It's why they saved all the mushy romance stuff for the very end. Yeah, everyone ran out to congratulate Sibuna at the end, but that was about as far as the whole feeling of character-importance yet. In fact, it just reinforced Fabina being super important to the inner workings of Anubis.

Yay, you agree on something :D (No, I honestly don't think Nina did anything all that useful except ask a dollhouse for help.) (Alfie as the Chosen One 2015!) Well, okay, fair enough about the dollhouse. Techincally it was because of Sarah but WHATEVER. :P Blah blah Patricia was here Patricia was there. Yeah, she was on the team. That's all she was. She wasn't doing anything that nobody else was. They had her in Sibuna because they had to put her in Sibuna. But with all they had her do they as well not have had her there at all because she didn't contribute anything that nobody else couldn't have. I guess she saved their asses once by dragging Eddie down with them and I guess there was the time she helped with the music task while Amber and Alfie could not. That's it. And the former moment was because of Peddie. The latter was because she was the only person on Sibuna who wasn't horrible screwed up by her curse. Her curse got her a hot kiss with Eddie. She really was proactive in season 1 because she had a whole mystery to herself and she was always suggesting ideas, going off on her own missions, being right there with Fabian and Nina while Amber kept chickening out, she worked her ass off back then and she helped bring the Sibuna team more down to Earth about what was really happening.

Yeah, there was struggle in season 2, but no conclusion. There was no scene where she showed she had overcome anything. She was bad at romance when the show started, and she was bad at romance when it ended. She learned NOTHING. Struggling with something does not mean that development has occured, just ask Joy, Mara, and Nina. They just needed to add a scene where she is shown to feel comfortable around Eddie, not just because she likes him, but because she feels confident, and like she knows what she's doing. Have her be like, "screw everyone's advice and rules. I'm different. Eddie is different. Our relationship runs on it's own rules." Have her actually TALK to Eddie about something more than her first kiss. Have the two of them actually learn more about each other. Have them communicate like actual fucking people. NONE of their problems were fixed except for Eddie's two-episode jealousy streak. Notice that Patricia was the only one without her own little moment at the end? All she did was dance with Eddie. That's because they didn't even bother to make her seem important or finish up any arc of hers or anything. They just ''danced. And she didn't even speak.''
