I'm glad to see someone else who loves Beth. I already see ppl turning against her too. I understand that people want to protect Ellie, but I can't get myself to blame Beth for how she's lashing out. I think it's perfectly realistic how she's acting.
YES BETH LATIMER DEFENSE SQUAD 2K15
I haven't seen anything too bad so far but I've already seen, like, the rumblings of a fandom about to turn on one of the women and I'm not here for it. LMAO NEVERMIND I WENT IN THE TAGS fuck fandom
Beth isn't a removed third party viewer like the audience, she didn't watch Ellie try to solve this case for 8 episodes, she isn't someone who can prioritize Ellie's emotions over Danny's life. All she knows is her son was murdered by his best friend's dad and that her friend, the cop somehow didn't know her husband groomed and murdered Beth's son. OF COURSE she blames Ellie. OF COURSE she lashes out at someone she considers responsible for what happened to Danny, especially since Ellie is the only one whom Beth considers responsible that she can lash out at, with Joe in custody & her own family barely holding together (especially when her cheating pos husband keeps taking off UGHGHG h8 u mark). I love that Beth was and is continuing to be written with a realistic fury in her grief, instead of just relegated to the role of crying prettily.
"Ellie doesn't deserve it" -- no, of course she doesn't, but Beth doesn't deserve anything that's happened to her either.
