Talk:The Pageant Pickle/@comment-24669562-20150911142215

Contrary to my last comment, this episode did not air until yesterday. I forgot until now that this episode was supposed to air about two and a half to three months ago.

Anyway, so who wants to hear me rant? Nobody? That's okay you don't have to but that's what I'm about to do, just giving a warning. So I'm giving you the choice now to go on and read this or skip it altoghether and save yourself some annoyance. This is also a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, although if you get upset very easily and or if you're  sick of D.W. doing what she does to Arthur, you probably better skip this episode.

You've been warned! (About my rant and spoiler)

Poor Arthur having to yet again do something his sister wants to do. And this time Arthur tries to protest against it, saying "Why do I always have to do what D.W. wants to do?" but again, D.W. tells Arthur it isn't fair and tells her the "good things she does for him." But does Arthur really have to do everything D.W. wants, or was he just saying that? Then again it does seem like Arthur is dragged into doing things D.W. wants to do instead of what he wants to do. He even begs his mother if he could skip it but just the same Mrs. Read tells Arthur he's going and that's final. And it seems Mr. and Mrs. Read are always on D.W.'s side and turn a deaf ear or something to Arthur. Arthur just cannot seem to get a break, no matter what he does! If I was Arthur I probably would have felt the same way.

But then again, we all have to do things we don't want to do, there's no doubt about that and no arguing about that. Still, I feel bad for Arthur. This almost reminds me of Drake and Josh, except there's one brother and two sisters and the older sister, not the youngest of them all, keeps winning over her older brother, or so it seems.

Then after hearing Arthur say it's going to be boring, she once again starts to get manipulative!

And Binky tries to make fun of Arthur, saying "Pagentface!" Binky, I thought you gave up bullying! Somehow I knew you were too good to be true, you're still a bully and I guess always will be! (In the words of Geri Halliwell, one of my favorite Spice Girls, "I'm a drama queen..." I really am, no lie. It's just that Binky said "No More Bullying!" Has he really changed or has he but is going back to the way he was, or has he never changed all along. I mean let's not forget that "Bang on a Can" episode where he composes this set of sounds and has his friends listen to it and when they do he "Ah-ha's" them or something. And turns out Binky and his friends are still Tough CUSTOMERS, or went back to that, after changing to "Tough CONSUMERS" (see the Last Tough Customer and Whip, Mix, Blend.) Well, we'll just have to wait for future episodes.

And after all D.W. has put Arthur through, Arthur gets wise to what D.W. might be doing, he, well, doesn't exactly know she's up to something though some say he does and I probably would have too if I didn't know better, but instead he has a hunch she's up to something and sure enough she was with that 2-person poem thing and then says no one will do it with her and lies about it and makes herself look sad just to get Arthur to lower his doubts and again feel sorry for her. Again, manipulater! And then Arthur, oblivious to what D.W. is trying to do, finally feels guilty and agrees to do what D.W. wants to do, only to find out later he's been tricked! Tricking Arthur into acting like a chimpanzee, not just in front of the preschoolers but in front of his peers, Francine, Binky, and Buster! Well, at least Arthur has a conscience and that's good, we all need one, and hopefully D.W. will become conscious of her conscience.

I won't leave out that she thought the pageant would be boring, and that she did try to make it more fun after hearing Arthur, but everyone, especially Emily, do not want to do that with her, not the 2-person poem, they probably would have wanted to do that with her but instead she manipulates Arthur into doing it, and getting Arthur to do something he was trying to avoid! And she's once again Miss Bossy Boots!, although Arthur should have been more enthuiastic in the chimpanzee act, well he was he just was hesitant and D.W. kept insisting he act more like a chimp and to be more enthusiastic.

Then Arthur finds out later that he's once again been manipulated by that coniving D.W.! And even after Arthur says "He'll get her back," and sorry to be the righteous one, well actually I'm not and shouldn't be sorry for being righteous, none of us should be sorry for that, although it is wrong to be self-righteous or over-righteous, but I hope Arthur remembers and realizes that "Two Wrongs DON'T, and NEVER WILL, make a right. Remember "Arthur's Big Hit?" Anyway, even when Arthur says he'll get her back, Francine tells him "Face it Arthur, you cannot win, she's smart." And alas, she is, well, smart enough to get Arthur to do anything but too, (what's a better word and less harsh word than stupid?) to not get out of making Arthur do what she wants and try to get her way. And her parents need to try to get her to face reality like out parents had to do with us, though I admit I didn't always like it, and what little kid does?

But is D.W. trying to be hated or trying to continue to stay hated?

I'm going to leave this link I found about D.W., http://www.buzzfeed.com/stinaa/18-reasons-why-dw-read-is-the-worst-cartoon-tv-ch-cf4u I don't know how many of you if any of you saw this already but there's a list of 18 reason why someone thinks D.W. is the worst cartoon character

Then again, maybe it's not D.W., maybe she doesn't want to be this way, maybe the creaters of Arthur are making her do this.

Either way, I probably shouldn't watch this episode anymore, it makes me upset. I'm just glad D.W. is not my sister! I wonder why the Arthur crew made D.W. a manipulating brat! And I'm sorry but, though I love the show "Arthur," sometimes D.W. makes me want to stop watching that show, she doesn't just annoy Arthur, not to mention manipulate and torture him, but she annoy me too. Me and a lot of other people, including the person who's link I left. And I'm sorry but she is much worse than Caillou, another widely hated preschool-aged cartoon character,

Well, though I'm annoyed at the hatred of Caillou, I guess I'm treating D.W. the way others are treating Caillou and I have a feeling others are getting, or will be, annoyed with me and my annoyance of D.W. I don't hate D.W. per-se but I hate what she does to Arthur and others around her, her parents, her sister Kate, and her friends. Will she ever grow up? I hope the answer to that question is yes, espcially by the time she reaches Arthur's age, and if Kate starts doing to her what D.W. has done to Arthur, D.W. might be sorry!

One more thing I have to say about D.W. and her manipulatings of Arthur, this Arthur-D.W. relationship is kind of like Maya and Miguel's. Anybody watch or watched Maya and Miguel? It too is a PBS cartoon and Maya and Miguel are also brother-sister, and not only is Miguel the older brother of his sister Maya, but Migel too is dragged into doing things Maya wants to do, though Maya has good intentions and Miguel tries to say no but it she doesn't take "No" for an answer and insists on doing things anyway, and then she gets herself and Miguel, and others involved into trouble.

Who's worse: D.W. Read or Maya Santos?

Yeah, that's it on this episode for me, I cannot watch this episode anymore. And again, I'm not reading rude comments, and I warned you about this comment so you cannot say I didn't warn you.
