Nashville: Unguarded Moments
November 19, 2015 11:47 AM - Season 4, Episode 8 - Subscribe
Avery tries to make his music more "commercial." Scarlett and Gunnar deal with adversity during a set. Will focuses on writing.
Really enjoyed The Exes acoustic number, but was a bit annoyed by the lead up to it.

Ha! I also didn't notice that much of a change in Maddie's hair. Yes, we get it, you're a pill. Congratulations.
I'm a bit confused about where they're going with Will now with the whole songwriting thing; didn't he already decide he wanted to be singing his own songs instead of selling them to the Luke Wheelers (or Averies) of the world?
I am not looking forward to the inevitable Deacon/Marcus clash. Instead, I am preparing myself for Juliette's triumphant return (which I expect to be glorious, so I will almost certainly be disappointed).

He wants to be singing, but all of his previous songs had been co-written or written by someone else entirely, so he's scared of being truly solo in the venture, I'm guessing.

And yes, I'm tired of Gunnar and his increasingly-awful hair.

I liked Gunnar showing some backbone for a change, and getting both the respect of his partner and what must have been some pretty good make up sex out of the bargain.
I wish they'd let Will be less of a victim. And wouldn't keep Deacon cycling back to his old irrationality.
Ah, Nashville, you could be a good show (again) if they just toned down the stupid.

I also like Will's storyline and his nerves at the Bluebird, but man was that song treacly (and the soft-focus Avery-flashbacks of Juliette were way too cheezy. C'mon, Nashville. Have a little faith in your viewers that they'll understand why Avery shed the Single Tear of Manpain at the end of that song.)
I am still reluctantly liking Luke Wheeler and his difficulties in trying to suddenly be a good dad and a good businessman.
And finally, I think it's telling that I honestly hadn't remembered that Maddie's hair was brown and thus her blonde dyejob was supposed to be shocking--in other words, she's having pretty much the tamest teenage rebellion ever and being a total pill about it and I'm torn between thinking that it's a realistic depiction of a 16 year-old and wishing that she would just be "grounded" out of the storyline for a while.
