Hit the jump for why maybe the show needs someone to tell them they look weird in this tie. As mentioned before the jump, Masters of Sex came out of the gate this year with an excellent and intriguing premise that Bill and Ginny might be coming to terms with their relationship in a new way. The rest of the episodes this season have just focused on Bill being petulant.
For three years he held a grudge because Ginny wanted to refocus the study to be about the work, not about making their sex life into a full-blown affair even though it already was. And for three years and counting , Bill refused to understand why Ginny had to make that break.
Bill needs tending to β drop everything now. The thing is, of course, is that Libby could have been that person for Bill, but he rejected her. Then Libby started calling him out on his bull, and stopped making him feel like he was special. So now, of course, Bill wants nothing to do with her. Libby, though, has been suffering herself. But Masters β in its many missteps regarding Libby β has her going after Robert, as has been clear since the moment he was introduced even dating back to last season, when she danced with the black handyman.
Robert has never cared about Libby are anything more than a curiosity. Flo spells it out for Langham, while Bill and Libby live it out. But like so much of Masters this season, the results were hollow and far too telegraphed to amount to anything worthwhile. Maybe Masters needs to write this season off for the most part, and take a close look at itself and the direction its headed for its third season.
Musings and Miscellanea:. Ginny just waits around to take care of Bill and his needs. I loved her diatribe on Clark Gable, and confusing Langham with her role playing desires.
