Society: I Can't Understand You, Lois

As the rest of the show was just nje… Beth attacked the guys she’s been stalking after Thuli left her. Inno requested more shifts at the call center. Akua announced her engagement to her disapproving mother via skype after meeting her future husbands teenage children.

I have to dedicate my full wrath on Lois. She just gets my blood pressure boiling. Yah, I know its just a scene in a tv series as King K reminds me while I scream obscenities at the screen when Lois is doing all these stupid things! Aoa! I know it’s hard but how will drowning your head in an alcohol bottle make it easy and then use the baby to try to hurt the very same man you never gave a damn for when he was trying to save your marriage and make it work! 

I wish I was her mamazala! Nxa! Na tlo nkitse ngwanyana ole! (*smh* @ Segololo, the biggest scaredy cat making threats) and dayyynnnn! Samela Tyelbooi shines as this character.. She is soooooo good. I am certain that she will turn me into those irrational actor-attacking woman in a mall with how convincing she is as the misunderstood Lois.

She is forever drunk! Her drug stealing at her job is visible to others as her Dr Affair confirmed that drugs go missing on her shift. Her husband is angry, bitter and just wants to see his child whom she has no time for – and she gives him the runaround. When he does come to pick up his daughter as his legal right, she goes to where Mandla is staying and takes the child away, doesn’t put on a seatbelt on the child and speeds away in a drunken stupor while her mother-in-law is astounded at her stupidity!!! 

She gets into an accident just before the credits roll… I am so angry! Did Dineo have to die, if the poor child does? Lo has been trying to kill Dineo from the time she found out she was preggas, I guess she achieved her life-long wish! Nxa! Was it absolutely necessary for her to fetch the child from Mandla’s place? She should have just drunk herself silly and let the child have a nice evening with her father. Jaaslaaik!! Why, Lo, why?!!!! 

society_lois_1

I don’t know what Lo is feeling or the kind of pain she is dealing with… I pray and wish not to. I keep trying not feel any anger or judgmental feelings towards her as I know everybody deals with pain differently BUT I fail to understand her rationalization to herself about the choices she is making about her life. Even as a survivor of post-natal depression who loves her alcohol, I just can’t understand her need to keep finding and causing more pain. Her constant self-destructive behavior is just so unreal. DO some women go to these extremes to deal with pain?

yeh it really was soo predictable last night.i could smell that accident a mile away.and it was soo obvious that beth wasn't gonna pull that trigger,that some1 was gonna stop her 'just in the nick of time.....'.and it was just a matter of time before thuli left beth for good.me thinks thuli was just waiting for an excuse and beth gave her one.stupid. the only think i wasn't expecting was the reaction of Oldman Woods's kids.i thot they were gonna be ten times worse  than that kid Leandre on Home Affairs.

When is society ending? I think it's about time it ends. It has lost its spark. The Beth scene felt so unreal, it was too dramatic and over exaggerated. It was not well done. As for Samela, she does play the Lois character very well. Big ups to her.

Hi all, Beth's scene was so boring and unnecessary couldnt one of the guys hit her from behind or something Thuli is not even interested in the case why on earth would Beth behave like that.  she is just taking this lesbian thing too far those girls at soccer practice should have klapped her.  and lois i rest my case.

I am looking for Mr Wood, anyone please give him my digits....lol
Shame Akua's mom should give them her blessing bathong, but as they say sometimes our parents sense the trouble from the distance, maybe when the time goes on will see the dark side of him. but i hope not!

As for Lo, i rest my case!

Last night’s episode was mega predictable…..Next week will see Dineo dying and Lo surviving the accident, Mandla being mad like crazy at Lo nd wanting his child, Lo would be crying non stop nd apologising nd bla blab la then the “friends” will “meet” again nd be closer…..coz into ebadibanisayo kukufa….then Mrs Woods to be will tell them about her engagement nd the whole thing will some how be a turning point for Lo…..

Beth….your whole gun pointing crazy scene was so annoying….and why do you think Thuli is everything??? Just get over her already….you were nothing but sister Betina to her…just be glad that there’ll be no more cat screams at night….Mantwa irritated me when she said “am married and have kids”…how can she throw that at Beth’s face…after sleeping with her partner?? She could have said no I don’t want to get involved…not say what she said especially after the one night or should I say day stand she had with Thuli…

Tjo to the lesbian enamacici all over the face and neck….

the only think i wasn't expecting was the reaction of Oldman Woods's kids.i thot they were gonna be ten times worse than that kid Leandre on Home Affairs. Same here Ava…I kept on thinking wow!! Is these people’s reaction for real yah, those kids were not convincing so not realistic Sego

I couldn’t help not to lol at Akua’s mom words when Akua told her about the engagement…tltltltlltl…

i think Lo grew up as an unloved child ,who so much was expected of her.and that she had to put her needs and talents aside to please her snobish mother.it is all showing now,and she turned into a bad mother and a wife at the same time,as she does not know what she want's anymore.Even her proffesion as a Doctor is meaningless to her.she is now a drunk and an addict even during working hours.She must be stripped of her  Doctrate before she kills her patient's at the hospital.and be taken to rehab.

The gun scene was soooo whack,mxim.Like really now, there were like ten guys at that place,one of them even had  a bottle in his hand,and he couldnt use it to hit Beth...mxim!
Great acting Ms Tyelbooi,excellent potrayal of the alchie.
Shame Inno,I hope the 'I love God' phase stays with her for good.
I'm glad Akua is happy,hopefully it will last.Eish I'm also looking for Mr Woods :-), the old man be looking delicious man!
