I won’t lie to you: I have more or less (more) given up on the heart after Lucas and Elizabeth’s collapse.
But that doesn’t mean I’ve been completely eliminated, and when I see the dream sequences that people worry about when they’re Episode 6 of Heart Season 12, I have to check it out.
Once I do this, I wonder: Be prepared for racial material?
Let’s face it: Most viewers calling the heart are older. Hallmark tends to be older, which is why their most successful stars are middle-aged or older.
Even though advertisers will tell you, this is not a bad thing either.
The days of brand loyalty are over. Gen X and millennials now dominate middle age and we go where the wind takes us.
One day, advertising will no longer try to make money from children who still live in their parents’ basements and actually advertise to people who have cash-consuming, but it is not that time.
Therefore, the ratings tell us that older people are not good for the business. They are not. We are not.
However, this doesn’t mean older viewers can’t have one or two things.
Hallmark has been like this for a long time, especially when calling the heart, and discovering the enthusiastic hugs of middle-aged women.
Nowadays, some middle-aged women really like their content. Conduct transactions, sexual contacts, cheating and manipulation!
The heart is not usually those women.
So I wasn’t surprised to see the comments about the dream sequences started when Elizabeth was sick. We can call them fever dreams.
Those dreams of fever affected her sexual desire as she began to see Nathan from a different angle from what she had shared with us before.
When she dreams of shirtless Nathan chopping the wood, it gets very crazy there.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but in an era where holding hands is not the norm in Hope Valley, it stands out like a sore thumb.
Even more interesting is that when she was sleepy Nathan, those emotions translated into Elizabeth’s awake life, who should take off his shirt while cutting wood.
When she was sick, Elizabeth’s whole nature changed. She even seemed more comfortable in front of Nathan.
At the end of the plot, Nathan falls into illness and his own dream of fever comes to life.
Nathan imagines Elizabeth hanging her laundry in the backyard, grabbing her arms, and kissing her in the rolling sheets.
In any other show, it’s sweet, but it’s a kind of simplicity when calling the heart. It is indeed unheard of.
But the truth is that in the 1920s, sex life was changing.
That was the decade of baffle-the woman who was keenly shaking her hair (Elizabeth had grabbed the direction), wearing shorter skirts, and even began smoking and drinking in public.
Sexual behavior outside of marriage is also becoming more and more acceptable.
Women have more control over their lives, paving the way for decades of social change.
So, when the name heart tells the heart, how far is the audience willing to go, what kind of story?
If the show remains true to life, the character will inevitably change, opening itself up, including the shift in romantic expectations.
It certainly seems that the writer is testing the waters with these dream sequences.
So, how far are you willing to go?
Are you interested in watching Elizabeth change with Times, exploring her relationship with Nathan, and then tie a knot? Or is this too much for Hope Valley?
What about the other characters? Will it be easier to accept this transformation with someone like Fiona who has reversed the system and accepted independence?
As the logo changes, its contents also change.
There are 11 seasons behind, when calling the heart ready to develop, or is it more meaningful to end the story before the Valley of Hope looks too different from the world we love?
