1) This is the part of #Garron’s story that I am a little frustrated with. And this will most likely be an Unpopular opinion, but here goes.

This starts back in S1 when we have Garret in the love -

2) I stand by my belief that Garret was never *in-love* with Gwynn. If he had been, he would of never felt anything more than friendship for Talon. Plain & simple. And there is NO denying that he was attracted to Talon IMMEDIATELY & ended up truly caring for her....

3) Maybe even falling for her? Don’t get me wrong. He loved Gwynn, but it felt more of first crush with a childhood friend now a loyal subject kind of thing. There is a reason they never had Garret say ILY directly TO her like she did with him.

Anyway...

Here’s the thing....

4) I believe that Talon not only knew Garret was attracted to her/cared about her, but that she was trying to make him confront his feelings for her. She tried to call him on it I hopes that he would confront the situation himself. Garret didn’t. Or couldn’t? Idk.

5) It was really frustrating to watch. Because Talkn cared about Gwynn as well.

So after Garret “chooses” Gwynn and almost sleeps with her, Talon walks in on them and is hurt. Garret goes to explain/apologize whatever but Talon wants NONE of it. He leaves, and there is hurt.

6) Enter S2. Garret comes back, we all know what happens. Gwynn falls for Tobin in Garret’s absence & Garret proclaims that he knows things will never be the same between he & Gwynn. His interactions w/Talon are “Stab, sorry. Revenge. I’m sorry. Etc”. Other than “I missed u”...

7) There really isn’t any romantic tension between them. Remember, the last time she saw him he had “chosen” Gwynn. But she thought he was dead so we can cut the guy a little slack.

So now, in S3, right off the bat we have Talon pursuing a romantic relationship w/ Garret....

8) As a woman my first instinct is to want to protect Talon’s heart. Because if this was me, I would be wanting to know if he was wi th me because he wanted ME or is it because he can no longer have HER. Does that make sense? And the way that they have played this has not helped

9) Garret seems reactionary in this new relationship but has yet to really show where he is at. Did he ultimately “choose” Talon or is she his consolidation prize? (I don’t personally think that’s the case, but I think he needs to show & tell Talon). He is reacting to her but

10) .. not initiating anything.

My biggest pet peeve w/tv couples that first get together is when they don’t TALK about their feelings at all. I’ve had a few of th em they have made me want to bang my head on a wall. These two have that potential.

11) I sincerely hope that they do something to show us (and Talon) that he is not just with her because Gwynn is no longer an option. I want to know that Talon was *always* his choice and that what they have is far greater. I personally feel like Talon deserves to know this.

12) I also think th at its poor writing that this *hasnt* been addressed. Especially given how good of friends Gwynn & Talon now are.

Idk. I’m rambling. This may not make sense to anyone else. And I applaud you if you read the whole thing. I just needed to get it off my chest.

13) in conclusion.... Talon deserves more than being a consolation prize. And she needs to hear that and feel that.

Thanks for listening.

I may delete.....

Sorry for the 1000’s of typos! I was typing too fast. Lol
