Hey. Same anon as last week. Here, to ask you about The Purge – episode 5? Do you have theories for the upcoming episodes? Thanks :)

Hi, anon! 

I don’t have any theories, really. Just questions. The only thing I know is that Lila’s actress still has some more appearances left, according to IMDB, and really, that would have been a very lame death if this was her last ep. But where was she? Was she really behind the door listening to Jenna? Surely at some point what Jenna was saying would have made her open and pull her in. And they could have shown her not listening. So I’m guessing she wasn’t there? Which means some other scheme might be going on.

As a shipper, I very much did like that after finding out things were going to get bad, Jenna went up to tell Lila. She made a hell of a lot more effort to get to her than Rick. But that doesn’t have to mean anything as far as endings go. And we still need to see what happened to the end of Lila and Jenna (wait–could the rest of Lila’s appearances be flashbacks? I guess that’s possible, though unlikely, this isn’t the type of story where mourning is shown through flashbacks) where Lila supposedly lost control.

Wowwww, knew I shouldn’t have expected anything good from The Last Ship. It’s not that I COMPLETELY mind that Alisha’s first and only gf on screen was in the 5th and final season or that she turned out to be a psycho who betrayed her, but to stab her? She better not be freaking dead.

dammit am I gonna have to start watching The Purge now? gay stuff is happening?

Lol, the weird thing is, the f/f’s most likely going to end horribly, but I actually think it’s not a horrible show on its own? It’s trashy in a way that you would expect from a show about The Purge, but I’m fine with them treating rich white people as terrible and the cause of everything bad in the US. Like…it’s true.

 I do love Amanda Warren and was initially watching for her so take that into account on my description of the show. I personally would be watching even without any gay.

if kate and rana were to get married do you think they’d have a catholic-muslim wedding or not? i’d love to see both their religions for the wedding. how do you think they’d do it?

Sorry for the incredibly late answer, I forgot about this until quite absurdly, the Nick Jonas-Priyanka Chopra engagement pics reminded me, lol.

As it always comes down to, there’s a difference between what Rana and Kate as people would do and what Corrie would show. Corrie just doesn’t have the budget or time to show anything very elaborate and anything like what a typical desi wedding would be. And it would be the desi part that’s important, not just Muslim. Weddings are different across the Muslim world but desis like a specific kind of thing. That’s relevant because the role of Islam in Rana’s life is hard to pin down, she’s never been very religious and right now it’s been causing a lot of trouble for her, but she’s still very much Pakistani. And you kind of need a large number of family and friends for those ceremonies to work, they’re actually heavily involved, and at the moment they’re estranged.

In the ideal scenario if Rana’s mom did accept her and possibly even the rest of her family did, and Corrie bothered to show all this, there’d be several ceremonies, and Rana and Kate could be involved in both. As much as Rana doesn’t care about religion, I don’t believe Kate cares either, so she’d probably be willing to go along with what Rana wanted, especially if Rana tried to make it more desi and Muslim to try to appeal to her mom. There are so many ceremonies, there wouldn’t really be an issue including one more of the kind the Connor ladies have (without the drama). 

Aw, now that I think about it, it’d really all be very beautiful and fun, especially if Rana’s mom ponied up some serious cash to make up for being such a monster.
