Blood & Oil Season 1 Episode 10 – TV Review
It’s what we all wanted. For Amber, at least.
Blood & Oil’s over, and nobody will cry for it.
At least they got to wrap everyone’s subplots up.
However unearned and improbable those wrap-ups may be.

Resigned exhaustion.
With only one episode left to limp through after this one, it’s time to bring back that one issue that a soap of this low calibre should really stay away from: Native American race relations.
Well, if you’re gonna die without dignity, then why not really shit up the place, hey?

“Prison would be more dignified.”
Yes, Blood & Oil is still on.
No, I haven’t missed it while it was briefly away.
Only two episodes left after this one. Let’s grit our teeth and bear it, baby.

But damn, it looks pretty.
Psycho Partner is still alive.
Amber’s back on the bench.
Cody gets significant screentime.
It’s like Blood & Oil is purposely not delivering.

My complaints were heard? I am God.
Gosh, I’m glad the announcement of Blood & Oil’s season order reduction (and presumable cancellation) came out last week, or else I would be ditching this wasted opportunity of a show.
But, after this episode, there are only four left.
Amber takes a first tentative step off the bench this week. Let’s keep that momentum going.

And, if we’re lucky, a fix to that little pregnancy problem.
Considering the utter banality of Blood & Oil, I was considering dumping this weak excuse for a Revenge successor.
But with the recent news that the season order had been cut down to only ten episodes (and, presumably, will be cancelled after that), I’ve decided I’ll keep hanging on.
Maybe they’ll finally unleash Amber Valletta before the season is up?

I’m onto you, ABC.
Yes. Much like Regina in this week’s Once Upon a Time, Amber Valletta is getting sidelined to make way for yet more insane business decisions from Chace.
My enduring adoration for Lydia from Revenge is pretty much the only thing keeping me on the line, Blood & Oil. You need to put Amber on the fucking field, already.

No chair is safe.
So after last week’s soap operatic lull, we’re back to furious, breakneck speed.
And Chace has retained his outrageous spending habits.
Seriously, where is this show going to go? They’ve blown their wad every episode so far.
It needs some time to rest or it’ll get friction burns. Jesus.

She’ll do it, I tell you.
Well, after the destructively fast pace of last week’s premiere, it’s time for Blood & Oil to grow up and become a proper ABC primetime soap.
So get ready for arbitrary additional characters, poor communication between our leads, and a break-neck drop in speed.
At least Revenge had the revenge-of-the-week thing to keep it moving.

That’s a hard, toned act to follow.
With the sad, but necessary, cancellation of Revenge, I need a new “rich people doing bad things” soap opera to satisfy me.
So Blood & Oil is exactly what I’m looking for.
