South of Nowhere/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Was Kelly a huge bitch to Spencer or was she just frustrated that Spencer waited until they were at Make-Out Point to tell her that she wasn't interested, thus meaning she was led on. Spencer didn't exactly help the matter, never once asking if they were on a date despite Ashley making it obvious that Kelly was into Spencer.
  • Broken Base: Many fans were dissatisfied with the way the show changed late in season 2 and completely disliked season 3. A few were happy that Spashley was saved but many were disappointed that they killed off Clay and the Davies sisters suddenly got rich enough to drop out of school.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Paula showing up at the gay pride rally and accepting Spencer during the episode "Gay Pride".
  • Foe Yay (Arguably Ashley and Madison, Aiden and Glen in Season 1)
  • Psycho Lesbian: Carmen. It's very much open to interpretation
  • Seasonal Rot (Season 3. Executive meddling led to the loss of the show's head writer, to the creation of several goofy storylines, and to the show's eventual cancellation)
  • Unfortunate Implications: Carmen's homelessness combined with the fact that she was also gay and a Starving Artist.
