Thanks for the ‘ask’! I’m currently rewatching s7 (currently on 7x04--thanks for your patience, guys :) and will continue reblogging s7 stuff that I haven’t posted before as I continue my rewatch.

Well, I think Alex had had it up to here with “Tucky” bad-mouthing Piper and she drew the first (verbal) weapon that she thought would do the job quickly and effectively---the threat of sexual violence (knowing that Tucky was a homophobe). Alex isn't a violent person, so I wouldn't have expected her to resort to purely physical violence...or even the threat of it. I think she just said what she thought would work, without much thought about it. Knowing what I know now about Tucky’s past, re-watching it makes me feel badly for Tucky but (and I’m being 100% honest here) the first time I watched it, (a) I laughed at Tucky’s obvious discomfort because she was pissing me off majorly, too and (b) I was completely mesmerized by Alex’s power over her. She towers over Tucky and her line delivery...wow. Knowing that Tucky tried to kill Piper a few episodes later makes me feel less sympathetic towards her in general, but it doesn’t excuse the particular threat Alex used (and I like to think that Alex wouldn’t have said it if she knew that aspect of Tucky’s past).  Thanks for the ‘ask’ and apologies for taking a while to answer--I was a bit under the weather (mentally----this damned virus!) but I’m back now :)

Thanks, as always, for the ‘ask’!

I’m still using #lingering s3 bitterness in my tags lol so you know this question hits me hard :/ Of course, I was extremely disappointed that they resorted to using a cheap plot device like a love triangle that came wayyyyyyy out of nowhere (the one with Larry, of course, made sense---Piper was engaged to him when she and Alex reunited in s1). I think the show was just trying to (a) manufacture more Vauseman drama and, at the same time, (b) make Piper into an antihero because they thought that would make her (and Vauseman) “more interesting”. I find that ludicrous ---Alex and Piper’s relationship didn’t need more drama at that point--they were already at odds because Alex found out Piper had her thrown in prison again (not to mention the threat of Kubra hanging over their heads) *and*, this goes without saying, Piper is a fascinating, complex (maddeningly-complex, tbh) three-dimensional character who doesn’t need to be made more “interesting”. So yeah. It is what it is and thank god the Stella thing didn’t carry over into s4 is all I can add. Thanks for the ‘ask’!

Well, Piper asked Polly to call Alex’s probation officer *after* Piper and Alex had their visitation in 2x13 (in which Alex explained why she told the truth in court in 2x01). At that point, I think Piper’s (misplaced, it turns out) anger at Alex’s actions in 2x01 had dissipated and she was just left with sadness at the thought of Alex leaving forever (and fear of being left alone--which she tells Alex in that visitation)...so she rats Alex out and has her thrown in prison again. Favourite episode from s2 would have to be 2x10 because of all of the great Vauseman flashbacks, including their first ILY (which is one of my favourite things ever). I also loved 2x01 because Piper is such a great character and she’s in every scene in 2x01. Also, of course---their reunion in Chicago and Piper telling the court that Alex was the love of her life (the feels!!!) Thanks, as always, for the ‘asks’!
