A JoBromance Doesn’t Think About It

After last episode’s tepid cliffhanger, the stage is set for mild to moderate drama, and emogurl810 always delivers. Are you ready for yet another Disney Channel star? Can you believe Emily’s nefarious boyfriend-stealing compulsion? Do you know the five Ws (and the H) of journalism? Say, whatever happened to Alexis’ dad? Follow me into the void for answers.

(Note: same video, but this time with a morbid, poorly produced piano ballad about dying when you’re sixteen. Anyone who can tell me what this song is gets a special JoBromance prize.)

OMJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NXT EPISODE? WILL EMILY EVER BE GOOD LIKE MILEY? WILL ADA BE JEALOUS OF NALEXIS(NICK AND ALEXIS)? WHAT WILL JOE DO?

~emogurl810~

In case you’re wondering, Jason Dolley is apparently the star of a Disney Channel movie called MInutemen, and he appears to be caught in a perpetual gust of wind. It’s unclear as to whether emogurl810 has introduced him simply for the pleasure of his windswept presence, or if he’ll actually serve some purpose in the future. As of now he’s just yet another tertiary character with the ability to appear out of the ether into the JoBromance universe. Realismo mágico never looked so effortless; she’s really giving Gabriel García Márquez a run for his money.

This episode is mostly just the usual JoBromance antics: Emily inflicts her daddy issues on everyone else’s love lives, Kevin and Lorelai have a tedious dialog that’s curiously rooted in the foundations of journalism, and Alexis sings a song about her feelings. At first I thought this was another emogurl810 original because the lyrics are so empty and bizarre, but after a bit of Googling I determined that–believe it or not–it was actually written by a team of professionals and sung by Haley Joel Osment’s younger sister.

This song is the absolute epitome of all that is terrifying about the Disney Channel/Hannah Montana culture that has yielded the JoBromance. They’re not even feigning substance anymore, they just come out and say it: they don’t think about it. It reminds me of the part in Alfonso Cuarón’s severely under-appreciated Children of Men where Theo asks his cousin why he’s saving the world’s great art when in 30 years nobody will even be around to look at it, and his cousin replies “I just try not to think about it” (or something to that effect). It’s chilling, and I would argue that the JoBromance is a direct product of a culture dead set on aggressive not-thinking.

OMJ! I just go so serious! Sorry guys. Where were we? Oh yes, Alexis was about to make Nick feel really awkward by casually mentioning the tragic death of her father–a murder, no less! This is what I like about emogurl810: she’s not afraid take the JoBromance to the darker corners of existence. Kidnapping, murder, she’s got it all; it’s like a fucking John Grisham novel up in this place. Maybe my “culture of aggressive not-thinking” tangent was uncalled for after all. Let’s just hope she’s read enough crappy thriller/mystery novels to know that Nick ought to be the one who killed her father. It’s the only suitable direction in which to take the story at this point.
