Season 10 is sooooo long so I’m splitting the review in half.

This season to be has been the biggest example of the phrase “f*ck around and find out”

My biggest thing with this season? Fitz vs Adam & Eli. Now I expected to have a completely different reaction than I did this watch again, this is my second time rewatching the entire series but this is my third time with season 10. I watched season 10 as it released when I was younger, the memory is what made me decide to watch the whole show for the first time last year. When I was younger I had a huge crush on Fitz’s actor and thought some of his lines were funny so I was kind of blinded by that and not really paying that much attention. Last year, I figured that this was just one big mess, everyone had a part in it and they all individually needed intense therapy. While I still stand on that, I tended to blame Fitz more because of his final escalation and just how he’s presented as an antagonist and “bad boy”. BUT this time around? They’re all equally at fault. I’m not saying the knife was warranted, it certainly wasn’t, but at MULTIPLE times in this storyline, this could’ve been avoided. First off, Fitz & his friends are standing there talking, Eli’s being rude as hell when asking them to move, so they don’t. (To be fair, they probably wouldn’t have moved regardless) but at the end of the day there was more parking spaces, just go around them??? It’s a school parking lot it’s not like you have a specific spot, you’re not a teacher. You see im standing here…. Go around??? Eli doesn’t, Fitz retaliates by breaking the hood ornament. A fight is warranted there on both sides at that point bc you just damaged by property now I have to beat you up, I get that. If Eli wanted to fight Fitz, by all means swing. He ends up doing so anyway, WHY was it necessary to set him up as an arsonist to be arrested????? It was not. And really, after they both apologized, Fitz was gonna let it go. But there was a set up so whatever, we continue. Now, with Adam, I understand that he feels his pronouns were not respected, but Fitz and his fight club acknowledged that Adam was a guy, but that he also was physically in a female body and they did not feel comfortable fighting him but did not want to exclude him from hanging out and joining the club. Yes, there is and should be a larger conversation about trans athletes joining teams they identify with vs what they were assigned at birth, yeah, I imagine that could hurt a lot especially if you’re going through what Adam is with his dysphoria & constantly being misgendered at home. Also, they could’ve found someone other than Bianca, who outed Adam?? That’s a crazy choice. Adam had every right to say screw this and screw yall I’m done hanging out if I can’t participate the way I want. TOTALLY valid. His reaction however, to SNEAK ATTACK fitz in the hallway who thought yall were cool??? Yeah, you’re dead. I’m gonna beat you up actually, why would I not? You hit me first. “Freak” was a little much, idc how angry you get it , that doesn’t excuse blatant transphobia, and no matter what your initial stance or understanding was, that’s what it is now. You had a transphobic outburst. So now there’s beef again, Fitz, angry as he should be decides to double down on his bad behavior tho by spouting MORE transphobic nonsense and then hitting ELI??? FOR WHAT ADAM DID???? I’ve had enough, like that’s so much, and then for Eli to endorse a fight even tho Clare is the only one making sense like this has already gone too far, for Eli to just be like “Clare doesn’t understand guys” is toxic masculinity and that’s never addressed but whatever. Clare sets off a smoke bomb, something completely out of character, to protect yall. As her friends you would think, damn Clare must’ve been really worried about us to do something that drastic, maybe this is affecting more than us, maybe we should just chill out…. NOPE! Eli sets Fitz up… AGAIN!!!!! If I was Clare, this is where I’m like this no longer has anything to do with me, yall keep playing stupid games you gonna win a stupid prize, I’m out. What does Clare do… GO ALONG WITH THE SET UP. Boy I swear no one’s getting out of this arc clean??? Fitz goes to Eli, he’s like leave me alone, Eli MOCKS HIM?! and then Clare is finally able to make peace by going to the dance with Fitz, Fitz makes a gross comment after Eli starts antagonizing him again, idk what else he honestly expected at that point, Eli’s reaction is…. LETS POISON HIM! Like ok, at this point whatever happens you asked for, you just keep escalating all 3 of these men are incapable of letting anything go, ESPECIALLY Eli. And lowkey, Fitz is the only one willing to drop any of this, when you have the character who entered the storyline being the “bully” archetype come out looking the least messy, (other than Clare) then it’s really like wtf??? Yall knew Fitz had anger problems, did you think POISONING a man would garner no reaction??? How did Eli think that was going to go. Like you’ve played with my freedom twice, assaulted me twice, embarrassed me in public, and played with my health??? At that point it really became exactly what Eli had been quoting all season long “the only way to stop a bully is to make them scared” and Fitz had to finally scare Eli into leaving him alone. After he begged multiple times. Was his reaction over the top and dangerous? Hell yeah, but who’s WASN’T at that point? Fitz should not have been the only one locked up, all 3 of you have to leave my school actually. You’re all a danger, Eli got off way too easy with this. Maybe Adam & Clare should’ve just been suspended or something but if I was principal Simpson I’m kicking both Eli & Fitz out for good cuz that’s crazy. Yall look crazy. And you making me look crazy with the school board.

Sorry for the long rant there was just no good guy in that scenario and I haven’t seen anyone talk about why everyone involved in that sucks and not just fitzypoo.

Boooooooooo KC. We hate KC. Deadbeat Trash. (And he’s only gonna get worse) but also, Jenna dumb as hell for waiting that long, the diet pills? Pls.

Drew is a loser, I don’t blame Audra for her reaction to Alli tho, I blame Drew. because if you look at it from her perspective, your star athlete son is failing, this girl you know nothing about you find her kissing him instead of studying like he said he was , you don’t see anything else, just that, and the next time you see her it’s while the school is on LOCKDOWN BECAUSE A STUDENT HAS A KNIFE and you’re told your son is receiving oral sex in the boiler room???????????? Yeah what’s going on here????? I’m calling your mother little girl????? Drew should’ve communicated who Alli was and that she was helping tutor him and the only reason he knew as little as he even did before they even got to school. Was the reaction harsh? Yeah but it was human. Doesn’t make her a terrible person, just a concerned already strict mother, which Drew KNEW he had.

Also let’s talk about Drew cheating on Alli then going “it’s not my fault that sl*t through herself on me” bye. Loser. Cuz she’s single,you’re taken. No excuses.

So glad Fiona’s in therapy and getting the help she needed and deserved. Poor girl I hope the bastard that hit her BURNS.

Savy J is really cute, they remind me of the song “Casual” by Ian McConnell, give it a listen and imagine it’s Sav talking to Holly J. So accurate.

Connor/Dave/Wesley best friend group ever. Loved them they were adorable.

That’s all I got.

3 > 10 pt. 1 > 2 > 8 > 9 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 7 > 1

Is how my ranks stand halfway through season 10, let’s see if the second half can help it beat season 3.
