they should give morgan on good doctor a girlfriend
RIGHT? Correct me if I’m wrong but this show has not had a main LGBT character ever? In this day and age? And Morgan would be a great candidate, given how they’ve treated her romantic life so far. Of course it’ll never be TWO main characters, despite people shipping Claire/Morgan. And I think they may go with one of the new residents and just never one of the original mains.
I was gonna go on a rant about this in my tags for the Morgan post I made but then it was like, where to stop, when it comes to TGD, there’s too much. I’m genuinely still mad at how they had Lim treat Claire like that for not wanting to treat a Nazi, but that was like, first season stuff, since then, the treatment of Carly, of SHAUN in how Lea treated him and still acting like it’s this big romantic arc. But whatever, heh. Definitely agree with your post.
Did you ever watch Happy Endings? Sterling is basically young Jane Kerkovich (and canonically still bi!)
Oh, hmmm. I see where you’re coming from, they’re both the kind of put together sister but I think their roles within their sister relationships made them develop in different ways? Jane is the older one and kind of takes over things but Sterling is a twin and equal with Blair and in fact, because of their personalities, almost the one more sheltered. But overall, I do see what you mean, especially when she grows up.
And another anon:
Someone said that Sterling looks like sister Camila.
Oh, hmm… Not the first comparison I’d jump to but I see it.
And another anon:
I don’t know why but to me the actress that plays Sterling looks like a mix between Hunter Schafer and Cara Delevingne
Ohhh, right, I can see both of those. Someone also just mentioned Florence Pugh to me and it’s kind of funny how suddenly, along with Ava from WN, a significant amount of the discussion is who the actress resembles. But it’s also cool how after a certain amount of exposure they become their own person to us. 🙂
Speaking of 3%. It still blows my mind that Michele (Bianca Comparato) is dating Alice Braga irl lol
Wh-wh-whAT? Still??? YOu are blowing my mind RIGHT NOW ANON
Wha–okay, FIRST of all, Bianca Comparato is 34?? Second, she’s a wlw? As is Alice Braga?? Isn’t that one of the actresses Stefania Spampinato had, like, a girlcrush on (when they were asked specifically about that)?? W–… I don’t know what to do with this, but I love this information, anon!
why did you quit watching motherland?? like something in particular or you just weren’t that invested
And another two anons:
Can I ask why you stopped watching Motherland: Fort Salem? Just curious
oh no, why did you stop watching motherland? 🙁 what made you stop though…
Heh, I didn’t expect multiple asks. Tbh, I don’t really know why, if you like a show, do you want to hear negative things about it? But you asked, so… I debated even mentioning it in the first place, but I didn’t want to lie or mislead about it either. That’s two major things in the f/f zeitgeist I’m not really connecting to, huh. Thank god for Killing Eve. 😛
To be clear, these are my reasons and I’m not saying anyone else should stop or there’s something wrong with them if they wholeheartedly love it, I don’t ever really make that kind of judgment on what people watch and why. But it was a combination of not being particularly invested and not liking certain choices, I guess. After all, if I’d been more invested, the choices wouldn’t have been a dealbreaker.
Basically, while I liked the second last ep I watched, at the wedding, with the mother-daughter teamup, the next ep had all those dead Bellweathers with their vocal cords cut out and I realized I don’t really like the writers’ perspective on this world. They seem, to me, to make choices and subvert things more because they seem cool and because of surface-level activism reasons than because they’ve put a lot of thought into it. Like, to make the powerful aristocratic family black, okay, cool, but then not changing anything else around it, and not seeing anything wrong with killing and mutilating a bunch of them. As a whole, it just seems like the show’s going to be a lot of violence coated over by the main three’s friendship (and their respective ships). I guess I was hoping for a deeper interrogation of what this AU would mean.
