Rambling Pier Anon again… started watching. Wanna punch oscar. Am i supposed to like him? (Love the show so far btw, thx for bringing it to my attention)

I think it’s supposed to be a very non-judgmental show, where even though these characters do things that are often very selfish and morally incorrect, cheating, lying, and a lot more, we’re supposed to sympathize or at least understand them. The show gives us time with them to see why they do what they do, why it matters to them. 

And despite my clear bias to always favor women, I did go in with an open mind and was willing to see Oscar’s side of things and for much of the first season I did. Well, I always did, but it stopped being enough at some point. We see how many times he makes the decision to continue with Veronica and Sol and to not tell Alex and how he justifies it, and like, I’m pretty chill about affairs, so many of my f/f ships start like that, TV likes to create these overwrought situations where it’s so hard to just break things off, fine, but he’s just sooooo selllllfisssshhhhh for soooo lonnngggg. The position he leaves them all in! All three of them! When he leaves Alex just a goddamn horse? I just don’t like him. 

windscribe is a very easy to use and decent vpn service which has a free version that gives u an allowance of 10g a month, and it’s easy to turn on and off as needed. not a sponsored post LOL

Heh, no, thanks, that sounds promising. I know others have trials but they don’t usually offer that many gigs.

vpn 360 doesn’t charge you for a month, and then it’s $11 (but if you have a specific thing you wanna watch, you can cancel before it charges you)

Ooh, a time-based trial’s also pretty good.

DNS is better than VPS tbh. I use smartdnsproxy.com!

Oh, I’ve seen this suggested as a trick sometimes, but haven’t ever tried it meself. I’ll have to look into it. 

Also, remember that you may need to change your timezone to match the source and disable Chrome’s WebRTC.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!

Hey, do you have any suggestions for free VPN apps? I watch a lot of wlw YouTube videos and the VPN I’ve been using hasn’t been working lately. If you know of any that you can share, I’d love you more than I already do.

I’d love to help but aside from Opera, I don’t know of anything. There’s Tor, I guess? I pay for mine, which isn’t even a very good one lately, it doesn’t get through on some sites I’ve tried recently, but I’ve been too lazy to switch. 

Maybe someone else can help? 

Is it worth it to watch Nurses for the wlw couple?

You know, I originally answered this with no, but in the time since, I’ve had to drop three shows because I while I love the genre, I really couldn’t handle how meanly they wrote and I guess there’s something to be said for shows like Nurses that at least TRY to be kinder in their storytelling. 

If you’re asking if the wlw couple features enough to watch the whole show if you weren’t originally inclined, then no. If you’re asking if the wlw couple is enriched by watching the whole show if you weren’t originally inclined, then no. Caro, the love interest, doesn’t even appear in every ep, you could get almost all their interactions so far just through gifs. In fact, they’ve had five so far, I’ve giffed four. But if you want to watch an earnest, very Canadian medical soap where the second-billed character is wlw, you could try this, I guess.

What I liked about Dex and Violet. Was despite how it seemed like it would be set up for Violet to use Dex, they genuinely meet and had a connection and when they meet outside of that building you could see the struggle she went through debating doing her job and her feelings for dex.

Yes! I actually ended up really liking how they did it, the more I thought about it. They played on the viewer’s knowledge of tropes and the expectation that we’d immediately think Violet was playing Dex so that the actual twist would be that she wasn’t. It made everything suddenly deeper, they ARE two former soldiers who just met and had a great time, by both their standards, and the fact that Violet let her walk away, that she sent the drink, that Dex DRANK it? I fully hope they’re going to bring Violet back, this kind of chemistry would be too much to waste.

I also just have to say the writing was so much better than it has been for some of these recent eps. I wish this was the Dex they wrote all the time, not even including her with Violet, let her still be awkward and messy and angsty, just more in control in some tiny crucial ways.
