things i’d have wanted to see in a season 2 of rotpl (fingers crossed it gets picked up by another streaming platform 🤞) (fuck paramount+)
Nancy having to come up with most outrageous excuses to cover for why Cynthia isn’t with the rest of the pinks/tbirds when she’s on dates with Lydia.
one of the songs from grease 2! my choice would be Back To School
Cynthia and Lydia discovering a queer bar
Edward deserves a cute boyfriend in season 2. We deserved more of his and Cynthia’s mlm/wlw solidarity
Jealous Olivia and Gil with them dating other people to piss each other off - I want all the angst and pining + more scenes of him climbing up to her room because that scene was too cute
PINK LADY HAZEL!!!! 🩷
more of the pinks/tbirds home lives? Potato and his fathers struggle with PTSD? Gil with his sisters? Cynthia’s mother? Stuff like that
The tbirds terrorising Mr Daniels
More petty Ms McGee - she too would make life difficult for Mr Daniels if he was to continue teaching at Rydell
Jane as class president!!!!
Villain buddy? I love the theory that he starts the rival gang to the tbirds as a big “fuck you” to his dad
More wally x hazel!!!! (also what about wally as a tbird???)
THE WHOLE ZUKO PLOT!!! i hope it wasn’t another love triangle for jane
Alot of people think that Dot and Richie are together in this but what is the reasoning for why would she want to go with Richie or the other way around why Richie want to go with her.
I think this part of a musical number, I have no explanation for why .
I know alot of people didn't want Nancy to have a love interest, but since it's one of the best guys in series I'm here for it!!!
Nancy's dress has little Nancys on it!!!!
(I didn't save the picture of Jane and Cynthia) Anyways Cynthia looks great in yellow, I know everyone thought she was going to wear a suit, I'm also sad about that but this proves she could look good in either.
When the news that this show was cancelled, I gotta say, it did more than take the wind out of my sails. First I was shocked, simply because, it just got aired and now, barely a few weeks after their last episode, they have cancelled and are going to REMOVE IT from Paramount+.
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
Followed by confusion. Whether it be the writers strike, the lack of views, the shit promotion they (Paramount+) did to get it circulated, they decided that didn't make 'movie box office numbers for it' and are bailing out before it found more of its audience just as it was starting to pick up speed...
And anger... This is a mixture of emotions but its mostly because the actors, the writers, the dancers, THE FUCKING MUSIC..
DESERVED BETTER!
Not only that, the cliffhanger they left us on makes me so sad on the things we will potentially never get to see.
Jane and Richie will never be reunited.
We'll never see Cynthia and Lydia grow in their relationship.
Gil and Olivia will never get together.
Nancy wont take over the world.
We'll never see Hazel in the Pink Ladies and how she plays a part in what they do now in situations.
We will never know what happened between Zuko and Jane.
Richie won't ever see the T-Birds again.
Mr. Daniels wont get fired. Buddy won't grow/adapt. Nor will Susan.
Frenchy and Rizzo will never be seen earning/getting their jackets!
Think of all the songs we could get! The representation! The references! The banter! The tension! The lessons!
Unless they get picked up by another network, we will never see any of those or more.
The Pink Ladies did not start teaching/showing us to go against the current and start making a fuss against the powers that be; to go out quietly into the night! We do not have to lay dawn and take it, and certainly not WITHOUT A FIGHT!
SO PLEASE!
You do not have to donate! Your voice, your signature is enough! As Olivia once said to our lovely lady Jane when she was feeling full of doubt and maybe some despair;
This episode was amazing! I liked the closure we got on most of the plot lines, and next season will sertently be an interesting one. All the songs were great, my favorite song was All In. I'm so happy Olivia didn't marry Mr. Daniels, he can eat shit. I feel like Nancy still needs to work on herself a bit before trying to date again. Cynthia's plot line in this was great, their song was great and I'm happy Lydia and Cyn got to talk. Think Pink was a great song to end the season with, it was super catchy and good. It was an interesting but good decision to make Hazel a pink Lady. Hazel is a really good character and I hope this means we will learn a bit more about her since she is now more of a main character. Again, I loved this episode. It wasn't perfect but I think it was a great way to end the season.
I love this scene because it's as if Potato and Nancy were like since Jane x Richie & Gil x Olivia arent working out right now, we're the current T-Birds/Pink Ladies It couple, so we need to serve hard. And LOOK AT THEM, THEY ARE SERVING.
So, here's the thing... by this time, the T-Birds have left.. Or are in the final process of leaving, since Cynthia states she doesn't wanna see Gil's face. And the only people who are still around, are the Soc's.
Right?
Nancy has kissed everyone. Even B- Buddy. But she hasn't said anything about the T-Birds.. Then again, it's not like anyone asked. Besides, I don't think she can. After all, different circles and all that.
And technically they aren't Pink Ladies- YET! But for the sake of my rant, it would go AGAINST THEIR FUTURE CODE!
Im getting a rant ready about the 'RULES/CODE' of being a Pink Lady, so I will spare you all the most of it here. But three of which need to be said.
Again, not the pledge, the RULES! You can even google them! Weirdly enough, only the ladies have Rules, whereas the T-Birds don't... W.T.F?
Rule 2: At no time is a Pink Lady to become romantically involved with a non-T-Bird member. Restriction is rescinded only after graduation from school or expulsion. A Pink Lady will not date a: Jock, nerd, Preppie, anybody non-cool, or member of a rival school or gang. T-Birds, not Nerds!
Rule 3: The Pink Lady jacket symbolizes that the wearer is the girlfriend / consort of a T-Bird member.
Rule 6: No Pink Lady is allowed to interfere with other Pink Lady to T-Bird relationships. If the leader of the T-Birds is spoken for, unattached Pink Lady is not permitted to trespass on fellow Pink Lady relationship. If the leader of the T-Birds is available (Pink Lady girlfriend leaves - see rule #3), unattached Pink Lady may make advances on unclaimed T-Bird leader.
So.... Nancy hasnt/cant have kissed Richie, Gil, Shy Guy or Potato.. That opens up the making of the rules of such. AND I want them to do it! I need to know how their 'code' comes about! Its briefly spoken in both movies, but never fleshed out much.
And I like to think that Nancy will kiss Potato here..
And either need a Dewey Decimal System or will help create the rules themselves to make things simple so as to not over complicate things in the ranks so to speak.
From what I know, each Lady has a Bird.
Jane and Richie. Gil and Olivia. Nancy and Potato... Cynthia.... Hmm..
I've got a thought about this.
In recent events, we see Cynthia in a leather jacket. That means, she 'leaves' the Ladies. Then again, I would still want it to say Pink Ladies on the back, but in T-Bird font, if that makes any sense. And if she leaves, who then takes her place?
My unpopular opinion is on Susan, believe it or not. And if that works out, Hazel would take Susan's place among the Soc's whether she takes up with Buddy or Wally- doesn't matter to me.
Susan wants to be loud. Be bold. Not do the things she's told. And if she is acting out and rebelling while eating burgers, she could potentially be a Pink Lady. And my pairing for her? Shy Guy. And I know he kinda has a thing for Cynthia but.. Think about it..
A bad boy/giant teddy bear who rides a motorcycle and is part of a gang (who is loyal to their girls). CLASSIC. REBELOUS. Good Girl ACT. But..
HE'S A GOOD. GUY! And I believe she deserves that.. (Don't remind me of her going after Richie to make Buddy jealous. )
In conclusion, Cynthia would be able to walk between both worlds, as it were and could even be with Lydia if that's the road she+ the writers decides to take.
I'm super tired and don't know if my rant made any sense, let me know what you think. I love discussing this show!
