rather liked seeing Tyra rub off on her--I was really hoping that we'd see some kind of friendship there, just for the effect it might have on Lyla. Me, too.
I think my main problem with Lyla is that she's such a victim. I'd been reading some article over on Jezebel about how the difference between a woman-as-victim (they were talking about on TV) was the attitude--that no matter how many bad things happened to Buffy or Veronica, they were never just victims because of their attitudes. Tyra strikes me as a woman like that. Lyla, on the other hand, just seems to sort of selfishly wallow in her own pain (now that's just season 1; I can't judge on 2 yet).
Ah. Here's the article Jezebel linked to: here it is
perhaps even especially due to "Texas forever" Ah, yes, but is the "Texas forever" really Lyla's thing or is it just part of her building her life around Jason? But I can definitely, definitely understand why they would seem so incompatible to you.
Also, Tyra and Jason and the almost-friends thing is awesome.
