Stage Fighting

Stage Fighting

  

 Hello. This is the third episode of Victorious, Stage Fighting. I woulden't say it's a great episode, but it's alright. The cast (bar Robbie) has to go through a Stage Fighting class. Tori gets paired with Jade, who fakes being actually hit by Tori. They end up making up in the end and become friends, which seems a bit odd given that we're only three episodes in and the major antagonist has developed to just stop being mean.

  It doesn't really stand out too much. I find that episodes that focus on Tori just don't have the same quality as those that use more of an ensemble cast. I would honestly say this is probably the one thing that takes the show down- Tori's character never feels like it has dimension to it, she is always the bumbling newbie with "incredible talent" and it just never feels rewarding to see her struggle or overcome her problems. It would be like if The Office used Ryan as a central character.  

        The B-plot is Robbie falling in love with any woman who gives him the slightest amount of affection due to crippling social inadequacy and low self-worth.

Ironically, this is also my B-plot. 

   I'm going to have to go with an 8/10 for this one.
