Blossom

I'll admit this episode isn't the easiest to watch. This is one of those rare episodes where things stop being funny and be downright serious. This episode just went to show how truely human Blossom is, it was also one that sort of hit close to home since Mayim was actually assulted one time.



What's interesting is in it's suttle senseablity which make it all the more unsettling and real. James Marsden (X-Men Trilogy, Enchanted) does a good job at portraying a bad guy you just plain hate because people like that do exist which makes it a bit scary. At first when you meet him he seems like just another ordinary boring good guy, it isn't until a lot latter on the date we see this character's dark nature creep up. I'll admit I felt rather unsettled and sick seeing it. Just seeing the motions Blossom was going though on the aftermath were realistic, it made me wonder if these were the exact things Mayim felt. That really made me feel a heavy sense of pathos for her character, when she was taking to her dad and then broke down and cried I wanted to hug her.



Down to the final confrontation at school, when we saw him trying to proclaim his innosence to her but Blossom isn't buying it, nor am I. I love some of the things she says and that wasn't Blossom talking but Mayim herself. Then of course he says something to her that just made my guts boil, at that moment I just wanted to kick him, what he said justified why I hate bad guys like him. And of course Blossom does the right thing at the end by going to the police, I loved that it just goes to Blossom/Mayim will not bend.
