SV Day 5: Arcs ahoy

[impy]

5. Favorite arc/mini series:


   You see above where I mention The Evil Twin and you think that's going to be it, but no. It's an actual toss-up between the Werewolf arc and the Cheerleader arc. The werewolf/London arc gives us a call back to their trip to France and is also just bananas foster kinda crazy but the cheerleader arc gives me something I never knew I needed: Liz as a cheerleader.
It is also where I draw the line on the books that I can read and enjoy more than I want to nitpick into oblivion.

The cheerleading arc is amazing. Not only do we get Cheerleader!Liz (and a recall of Cheerleader!Lila), but it introduces Heather Malone as a true nemesis for Jess. Heather did Jess so wrong in the next arc (the Death Valley arc) but it was kinda delicious at first. Her going after Ken was going a bridge too far, IMO.

Nothing will beat the Evil Twin for best miniseries, though, IMO. Talk about leaping full force into the crazysauce! What a way to transition the series from series to mini-arcs - I've never seen its equal, before or since.

The cheerleader arc is pretty damn awesome (yay for cheerleader!Lila) though I will admit to tearing my hair out when Heather first appeared. Reading it as it came out was frustrating because Heather kept coming out on top and I wanted to punch her face. But as an arc it works beautifully.

The Evil Twin arc is when SV shone brightest and craziest and it'll get it's due later. Probably.

But now I'm left to ponder the AU where Margo successfully takes over for Liz and still has to pull off cheerleading without murdering anyone else.
