Everybody's Fool

Tess really fooled everyone.

Author's Note: I concentrated on Tess's relationship to Kyle, Max and Isabel and the group as a unit.

A few people asked me what my intentions where, when I did this video. Do I see Tess as the bad girl or do I want to show that she wasn't able to act differently? I would say it's a little bit of both. I never hated Tess. Some people might scream now and ask me about Alex, but honestly I don't think she did that on purpose. It was just an accident. What reason would she have to do that, after all it only drew attention. Tess might know more about her powers and their previous life on Antar, but like the other aliens, is she clueless in many aspects. She only knows things Nasedo told or was willing to show her and I doubt that a warning about consequences, her powers might have on humans, was high on his list. She knew that there was a possibility that her powers could harm Alex and she risked that, but she still didn't want something to happen. Was she evil regarding M&L? Absolutely not. Firstly, it always takes two to tango and if Max wasn't willing he wouldn't have done it. Secondly wasn't that exactly what Liz and Future Max wanted?! So don't start on that.

But she fooled everyone and hurt a lot of people who cared for her in the process and she wanted to fulfill Nasedo's deal with Kivar in the end, even though I can understand her reasoning for that at least a little. Therefore I think it's save to say that this video can be a Pro- or an Anti-Tess video, it depends on the way you want to see it.

I'm sorry, but all of this tells me that Tess may have cared for them, but not as much as she cared about covering her own butt.

[MillersFehrsTabascoG]

Of course it was about covering her own butt. No question about that from me.

She screwed up and knew, that this won't be easily forgiven. She wasn't exactly liked before, so saying "Sorry, I killed one of you accidently" won't go over well.

[Cassandra765]

The thing is, I don't hate Max at all for sleeping with Tess. He was very sad at the time and she was there. And I don't think Tess killed Alex on purpose, but she should've gained enough of a conscious not to mindwarp him in the first place or told them what she had done, but she didn't. She was too busy trying to sell out her family to Kivar. That's why I hate her. But the video is really good. :)

Family is a very flexible word here. A family in my definition, is group of people who hold together, love & always support each other. You don't feel like the 3 wheel all the time or the homewrecker with them. People trust you and you feel safe.

I don't think the group was any of that when it came to Tess and I doubt she felt loved and safe with them. She knew, that right now she might be together with Max, but as soon as Liz gives a sign he will be back with her.

But everyone has another POV

I am HUGE Max Liz fan. I dont hate tess for sleeping with Max but for almost sending Max,Miceal & her best friend Isabel to their deaths intentionally!She may not have known what would happen to Alex but she did know what would happen to them and she still did it.Thats why I hate her! Great vid though.

[Cassandra765]

Sorry, but I'm a dreamer and a HUGE Alex fan. Killing him may have been an accident, but she shouldn't have been mind raping him for a month in the first place. And she didn't even have enough of a conscience to tell them the truth, even if it was at the last minute. I'm sorry, but even if she cared about them all, she didn't care enough to do the right thing. That is why I'll never be a fan even if I do understand some of her POV's.

[Cassandra765]

I wish that gave her an excuse in my opinion, but it doesn't. Especially because she DID have a family with Valenti's. They never made her feel like a third wheel or anything like that. Valenti thought of her like a daughter and Kyle looked at her like a sister. She had a family and look what she did. She made Kyle carry Alex's dead body. And however the rest of the group made her feel, it doesn't give her an excuse to turn them in to Kivar.

Another thing is that Liz was like "You were unfaithful Max!" and i was like "WTF Liz?! He thought you had slept with Kyle at the time and the two of you broke up? Not unfaithful, just depressed."

Also, Liz was more evil than Tess because it made her genuinely happy that Tess was dead and the baby was in a foster home somewhere (which has a very good chance of being like hank was to Michael). She knew it was wrong but she was still happy.

[MillersFehrsTabascoG]

I think she was just hurt. And it's not like Nasedo took the time to show her how to deal with disappointments, hurt feelings and stuff like that.

I think she just wanted to hurt them back and her feelings were clouding everything and she didn't really thought about what would really happen if they come back to Antar.

Thanks.

No matter what my thoughts of Tess are. You did an outstanding job with this vid. The video captured Tess's character perfectly.
