ladybug_archiveSo part 2 of the CHiPs saga thankfully reaffirmed my faith in the show. I still don't find it believable that Ponch could find such an annoying person attractive, but he broke things off right after the kiss and said it shouldn't have happened. Both he and the girl decided by episode's end that there had just been some crushing/infatuation and they were going to be friends.
The best part of the episode was totally when Ponch finally chewed her out for being such a smarmy jerk all the time. And when both girls got disciplined for disobeying orders yet again.
The main girl randomly realized, after a while of being angry, that it was right for them to be disciplined. It didn't quite make sense to me that she would suddenly mature like that, as there was no scene really leading up to it. It reminded me of how Once randomly decided to make Hook good after having him be so nasty. But whatever, I was glad to see some acknowledgment by the show's writers that the character needed to get over herself and grow up.
Both girls finally did something right and made a good judgment call that helped bring three escaped convicts to justice. And they were made full-fledged motorcycle officers. So things ended nice.
... Except that Ponch's girlfriend never did stop being annoying or be willing to listen to explanations when the other girls were around (even though she KNEW they worked with Ponch and would be around). He really needs to find someone better than her. There's plenty out there.
I was going to write about our latest shopping trip, but I've had this entry up for hours with the computer on stand-by. I've been up doing Christmas things for hours and I need to close the computer and try to get some sleep. I could leave the entry saved in LJ and finish it later, but I think I'll post it now and write about the shopping in a separate entry later.
