Right, let's talk about When Calls The Heart. Specifically, season 7. And even more specifically, when our friends across the pond in the UK *finally* got to see it. Seems like ages ago, doesn't it?
Remember the agonizing wait? It felt like everyone and their dog had seen all the Hope Valley drama except us Brits. We were stuck scrolling through spoiler-filled forums. Desperate to avoid knowing if Elizabeth chose Nathan or Lucas.
The Great Wait of Season 7
Honestly, the UK release dates for When Calls The Heart can be a bit of a mystery. It’s like they’re hiding the release schedule in Fort Knox! We're left refreshing streaming services every five minutes.
We’re not asking for much! Just a little heads-up. A simple "Hey UK, season 7 is coming on Tuesday!" would have sufficed. But no, we were kept in the dark.
It's not like we're asking them to move mountains. A few tweets, some fanfare. Is that too much to ask for loyal Hearties?
The Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Here comes the controversial part. I'm going to say it... I think season 7 is... overrated. There, I said it!
Yes, the love triangle reached peak levels of intensity. Sure, there were some heartwarming moments. But overall? It felt a bit drawn out. I think everyone was tired of guessing who Elizabeth would choose.
Don't get me wrong. I still love the show. But season 7 felt like it was trying too hard. I am just one member of the entire Hearties fandom!
Now, before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out. The charm of When Calls The Heart, in my opinion, is its simplicity. Season 7 got a little tangled up in the love triangle plot.
It's like when your grandma tries to make a complicated recipe. You appreciate the effort, but sometimes the simple cookies are best!
The Lucas vs. Nathan Debate (Still Going Strong!)
And let's be honest, the whole Lucas versus Nathan debate? It drove me absolutely bonkers! Team Lucas, Team Nathan – it was like a civil war in the Heartie community.
I think I was Team "Just Pick Someone Already!" I was over the constant romantic tension.
Maybe that's why the UK release felt so slow. They knew they were unleashing a tidal wave of opinions onto the internet!
Seriously though, it’s great to see the passion from fans. Just maybe, a little less arguing and more enjoying the heartwarming stories. After all, that's what the show is all about!
Looking Ahead to Future Seasons
Despite my *slightly* negative take on season 7, I’m still excited for what's next. I'm sure more drama, more heartwarming moments, and more agonizing waits for UK release dates will follow.
Hopefully, the folks in charge of distribution hear our cries! A simultaneous global release? Now *that* would be a true act of heart!
Until then, we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled. And maybe avoid the internet until we've caught up. Good luck to all the UK When Calls The Heart fans!
And who knows, maybe I'll rewatch season 7. Maybe I'll change my mind. But for now, I stand by my unpopular opinion. Bring on the cookies!
