Ok, I know that watching this show in my early teen years and then now in my late thirties was of course gonna be different. But while there has been a lot of episodes that I found annoying, this one just absolutely passed me off!! Lucy catches Kevin and Roxanne dancing together. Whether you think that's justified or not... Maybe Lucy over reacted, maybe she didn't... But personally, I think he should have respected his fiance enough to keep his hands off Roxanne dancing or whatever. Lucy is a dramatic girl, not a new concept, but he knew she had a particular problem with HER. He works with and drives around alone with HER all day. Lucy does have to come to terms with that, but outside of work, that's all on him. And the fact that he can dance around with Roxanne and staring into her eyes (which is a heck of a lot more intimate!), but he blows up at Lucy for TALKING to Chandler about their shared career interest???!!! His arrogance gets under my skin bad.. And I'm not even a feminist, but to tell his fiance who she's allowed to talk to after he's been dancing around with another woman all night!!!! Total bull episode, and I'm glad I didn't really watch these last seasons years ago!!

Lost Souls - a metaphor for 7th Heaven
studioAT29 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
What a mess!
Brenda Hampton (Creator/Exec Prod) has written more episodes in this 7th series, but can't seem to be able to steer the ship back around to anything that resembles quality.
I am bored to the back teeth of the ongoing Lucy/Kevin/Roxanne saga. Kevin took the lead in being the jealous one this time around, and over what really?!
Roxanne acted out of character massively (not that she's been allowed to be much of a character at all - the back story they gave her felt massively tacked on) and Lucy continues to be hysterical. And not in the good way.
Robbie was 'studying', which seeing as Adam LaVorgna got the chop, could end up being a very long study session.
Chandler is looking one of the better new additions, but the knock on effect of his arrival being that Eric now doesn't want to be a Priest sends us again into 'Jump the Shark' territory.
Seeing as she has written so many of the episodes lately I think the blame for the shows very sudden decline can only be placed at Hampton's door. She dealt with the departure of Mary badly, and the new characters haven't gelled at all.
It's a shame to see what was such a good show seemingly now in freefall.
