Nashville Review
ABC's Nashville made its return to primetime last night. The "fall finale" focused on the music festival featuring performances from Deacon, Scarlett, and Juliette, ended on cliff hanger; the classic "Who died" scenario?
As the episode ended, singer Will (Chris Carmack) stood along railroad tracks looking into the headlights of an oncoming train, and Peggy (Kimberly Williams Paisley) laid out after being shot. It was Peggy who died, and the episode that aired last night covered what happened after.
This is going to play itself out over the rest of the season. You have Teddy's (Eric Close) grief, what happens with the daughters, and Rayna's (Connie Britton) reaction. Teddy finds out the man who shot her blames him for his ongoing unemployment dating back five years. Rayna meanwhile has to make some tough choices about her new album, regarding the single that should launch it.
Will's alive. He ended up disappearing for a few days into the wild for some time away; Gunnar (Sam Palladio) brought him back to Nashville. He's struggling with his sexuality after a one night stand with another guy, putting an end to a dubious relationship with Layla (Aubrey Peeples).
Juliette (Hayden Panettere) is still in trouble with her fans for breaking up the "world's most beloved couple, with fans stalking her chanting "Juliette has no respect" everywhere she goes. She is misunderstood as to something she said and made Layla go on television to correct it.
Nashville Musings:
- The guy who shot Peggy is going to be tied in somehow to the scheme they were trying to hide in the first season.
-Will's struggle with his sexuality is topical. How accepting would country music be of a gay singer?
-When is Juliette going realize Layla's bad news?
-Layla will turn out to be partially responsible for what happened after
-When will Liam stop going back to Rayna? She's treated him like crap
-Deacon will end up joining Rayna's label
