chicken girls ranting

let me just address first how there was no warning this was a season finale. i had very high hopes that there would be enough time for the writers to make things right but after finding this out, i came in with my expectations on the floor. they were so smart for this tbh

coach coop has always gotten on my nerves but the fact that he just let the girls kick harmony off the dance team is so funny. worst educator ever

these kids killed the birds of a feather choreography ngl and that little montage was cute but kinda strange how they all just knew the dance? fan behaviour.

super lazy resolution to what was actually really compelling conflict last episode. they made her cry!!! apologize to her please!!!

i'm so happy for all you harmony x simone stans out there. take this win. they were cute and it's nice that simone got closure over something that has been bothering her for a while

that said, brat is rewriting canon 2 years after the fact and it's so on brand for them. i really wish they fleshed this out more because it explains the initial enmity between the two of them and makes their relationship so much more complex

the growth of pk's character from s7 to now...that's my boy! i love peyton kaye with all my heart

claire making her first appearance in the episode after we were more than halfway through lol

that long post i wrote about poppy, walker and harmony? pretend it didn't exist because i was so stupid for giving the writers the benefit of the doubt. it's not a terrible ending to that particular arc but there was so much potential and it's all wasted

chicken girls is not about the chicken girls. it rarely ever does a good job exploring the dynamic between the core characters so i didn't really feel anything when claire, bel and leyla were saying goodbye to harmony. their interactions have been so underwhelming this season. i think they had this issue even with rhyme's chicken girls where at many points you had to wonder if they were even friends at all

overall, i feel like there were so many stories to tell with this group of kids and especially harmony which is frustrating now that she is leaving. they wasted their time on half-baked stories like the emerson conflict, gus x yasmina (the biggest HUH ever), claire and that grown boy and tbh i am so over whatever is going on with bel, eggie and eggie's cousin

is harmony actually leaving or am i in denial because of how unsatisfied i am with this send off?
