DISAPPOINTMENT! HEARTLAND S17 Ep 10 Finale Recap and Reaction (Talking  

The heart is gone from Heartland. And now only having 10 episodes proves that the writers they have just don't have what it takes to make the kind of show we all came to love.

Dang, why don't you tell us what you really thought about this season? 😆😆 I agree that there ought to have been more resolution to the Amy/Nathan thing, but I'll be super honest that I did not feel nearly the same level of discontent with that side of things that you did. I guess it's because I am feeling that these things ought not to be rushed. It would have felt too pat if they had decided to become a couple when Nathan obviously still has unresolved issues. I guess I'm more of a slow burn fan when it comes to romances, if they're going to have a romance at all. Re: Tim's character development. Yes! 100% this was the first time he did not make me want to throw something at him for some inappropriate comment or bone-headed action. Maybe Jess is good for something after all, and that's smoothing his rough edges (which Miranda rightly picked up on). Re: Lou. I disagree about her not having anything (unless I misunderstood your comments). She's realising where she needs to be and how she needs to use her gifts and talents after coming through the shock of the past trauma that resurfaced when Nathan showed up. She needed that healing after doubting herself for so long. And now that we get that the source of her life-long insecurities was directly related to that deficit in her life (Tim's seeming rejection) I hope we'll see a much more self-confident, self-assured Lou. I anticipate Lou and Iris will probably have some business-related drama in Season 18, but that remains to be seen. Just no more Lou and Peter drama, please. The Chloe/Shane wedding was lovely. This, from Jennifer Hui (Chloe) about her experience: "When I auditioned for 'Chloe' the role was open ethnicity. At my first fitting, me and Jamie Block discussed the possibility of incorporating my culture into the wedding scene….I was blown away by the reception. From the writing to wardrobe to set design to make up to hair, everyone brought in an element of what a Chinese wedding would be like and it meant the absolute world to me. The splash of red, the dragon inspired hair, the double happiness symbol!" So that was really cool, I think. It was nice that Lisa _finally_ got to have a birthday celebration in an episode after how many years, and the cattle drive was a nice touch, since Lisa hasn't been on one of those with the family since Season Two (!). And of course the cinematography was top-notch, showcasing the natural beauty of Southern Alberta. I just love those widescreen drone shots. No real comment about Katie and taking that first (tiny) jump since I'm not a dirt biker and not a daredevil, but good for her for even attempting it. I won't dump on anyone's accomplishments, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant. I think that's about all I could say without going off on too many tangents. Thanks, as always, for your comments and opinions about the season (and the previous ones). Hopefully Season 18 brings about some of the resolutions you've been craving for these characters.

The the reason why Nathan didn’t show any romantic interest because he still heartbroken and I don’t know if he will be ready for a while He is not right one for Amy anyway. Amy needs someone to encourage and support her
