So you think the bold type made a bad decision for the last relationship with Kat and her republican gf?

Well, I haven’t been watching in a while so I don’t really have particularly specific commentary. 

I think, from the level of writing I saw before, that they don’t really have the ability to handle a story like this? And I can’t disagree with Aisha that it seems a very OOC arc for Kat, especially after these last few years. For Jane or even Sutton, maybe, but even when–especially when they’ve made Kat a person who only recently is becoming more aware of these issues, that’s the kind of person who is actually almost MORE enthusiastically forming and sticking to certain principles, you know? But like, again, I could maybe see it as her departing from them anyway, for sheer attraction, and feeling conflicted over that, but I just don’t really trust this show to be able to handle that.

I love that you don’t want to watch Bly and half of it but understand people that like it.Your reasons are understandable even if we don’t share it. I love that you include them in the recommendation someone ask you before.

Aw, thank you! I actually have this one KE answer I still need to ask that really made me think on how I can react negatively to media for a variety of reasons, one of those being simply that it might not have been what I wanted. Which, that’s no reason to mark it as Bad. 

I mean, if one wanted, they could still call out things they both did in a problematic sense, but that’d be every single thing in the world. There’s a whole spectrum, right, how bad it is, who it bothers, why it does. All I see is many wlw loving them, so why harsh on that. 😮

So I started watching Filthy Rich because of your gifs but the story is actually pretty outrageous and funny at the same time Im staying regardless. Im glad I can expirience how bad/good this is. Im kind of sad its cancelled because i feel like this will be ending on a cliffhanger for sure.

Haha, bad/good, yeah, it is very deliberately this over the top soapy telenovela kinda show, so I can’t judge it too much for what it wants to be. But exactly, that’s my big fear, you can see very easily who the various couples should be, which means of course that they’ll make sure there are huge obstacles for them specifically, none of them happy and together till the show’s end so that’s definitely not this first season finale, where things will only get messier.

You reminded me of how hot Maya is with the work out gifset, even though she is so badly written Carina deserves so much better.

She is super hot! And the new hair…. And yeah, she can be written in a certain way, but as I was just saying in the previous reply, people are just written all over the place. With enough screentime, Carina’ll probably like, I dunno, kill someone or try to steal an election or whatever, something that makes Maya suddenly appear like the “good” one. And then it’ll switch and then again. 

I’m watching Station 19 from the beginning because you know gay, and man I actually like this stupid show. Also Maya and Carina are adorable!

Lol, that’s good, then! I did like the first season, it was a fun mindless way to spend time and not get too invested, but then Jack/Maya annoyed me because, of course I just didn’t like Jack, but also the way it was this super obvious drama to mess up Maya and Andy’s friendship. 

But from s3 onward, of course I’m all for Maya/Carina, but also it’s more apparent just how…shallowly intentioned the drama is, I mean, of course it often covers very deep issues, but the way the show handles them, they’re just never gonna care as much about the issues or even characters or dynamics as the entertainment value of it all. Which, as long as we know up front and can decide if we want to watch or not, sure. People will make up, break up, get sick, die, cheat, it’s all just process and then onto the next. It makes it easier watching in some ways, for sure. I guess I’m just glad they got actresses with this chemistry so it kind of elevates it beyond that.
