I have a couple big problems with Dickinson and yes, one of them is the physicality between Sue and Emily is gone too soon, but like you said. She did end up with him. Sue seems more physically into Austin but more emotionally into Emily. Another problem I have is the fact that every other woman on the show are stereotypical and only serve the purpose to make Emily seem more progressive. Their treatment of race is like extremely heavy handed and done poorly, once agin to make Emily look good.

And another anon:

I finished all 10 Dickinson episodes. Spoiler Alert: Towards the last 3 episodes I don’t even think Sue and Emily can even be considered romantic anymore. Sue gets very enamored with Austin. Go in with the right expectations. Sue/Emily are not physically involved after episode 3. 

Thanks for the warnings, anons. I still haven’t watched it and well, perhaps I’m less inclined to work hard to catch up instead of basking in that lovely season of Atypical. 

I do get the issue people are having where, while yes, of course we know real life, it’s up to the writers where to focus and they could have expanded an Emily/Susan time into a season (of just 10 eps at that) instead of I guess…not? Like Gentleman Jack showed, when you compare it to other media that focuses on Mariana Belcombe and kind of relegates Ann Walker to a footnote, even when it’s based on real people, a lot depends on what you choose to show, when. 

Obviously they don’t have to make shows to please specifically us, but I understand why some people have lost interest. I’ll still check it out for its own sake, I thought it was supposed to be fun and funny and weird, but probably not immediately.

Dickinson SPOILER: Content does NOT deliver after the first two episodes. Beware of watching. Super het, supposedly epic Sue/Emily romance fizzles out to nothing immediately after Ep 2. They both ramp up with separate love interests. So disappointed and confused.

Oh, I mean, well, we know what happens in real life. But yeah, given that they could focus on whatever they wanted in this short early time in their youth, I see. I don’t mind het content on principle and I don’t really see how I could mind what happens in their actual lives, but it does feel a bit bait and switchy for the rest of this season given the promo focusing on those early eps.

SPOILER ALERT. I had the opportunity to see an advanced screening of two episodes of Dickinson and it in my opinion fully delivers with content.

Ooh, fancy! And awesome, that’s great to hear. I’m still torn between which show to focus on first, so much is being released tomorrow, but I think it’s gonna have to be Dickinson and Atypical first. 

Does anyone know if it’s going to be all of Dickinson or just the first three eps? Seeing different things in different places.

For that other anon who asked if Dickinson is gonna be gay, it’s already confirmed that Emily and Sue kiss in i think the first episode.

Ah, thanks! There you go, other anon.

Not a big deal, since I’m going to be using the spoiler tag anyway, but just to be on the safe side, maybe in future preface the ask with “Spoiler!” or something like that? I know it’s a gray area even with my gifsets, because even when I tag with spoilers, how do people know to tag if that’s the first time they’re seeing it, I get the difficulty. But you know, it’s at least better to include the option if it’s available. 🙂
