R&I is an interesting scenario then, if it's more widespread than I realize, I'd be inclined to give the reasoning as the writer... well, writing. A writer's going to put their own experiences and perspectives into their work, and if the writer of R&I is a gay woman, then all the power to her for writing from her heart.
I have no issue with that, in fact I'd hope a writer would use their own experiences, perspectives, and opinions in their writing. I doubt they'd be able to do much writing if they didn't.
The only thing I don't like is the pandering to these fans after they've already projected and "seen" these projections (Oh, Glee), because it seems like they're taking advantage of people. Which, as I write that, doesn't seem all that terrible; we do live in a highly narcissistic society where people are more than happy to advance their own position at the expense of others (But at least we're honest and tell people to their faces that we're going to screw them; I could just imagine the '80s and the whole faux-niceties society).
I love long-winded morning debates!!! Always so enlightening.

I was wrong about the writer btw, she has a husband haha. This diminishes our chances.
Idk man, perhaps i should watch a full episode and then make a proper judgement.
Glee is the worst. I'm starting to not give a crap about it. I just have no hope that Brittana/Santana fans will get something tasteful and not offensive.
---- also, PLL finale in 2 days! Finding out who the "BetrAyer" is. dun dunnn

Something we can all agree on; freaking Glee.
Haha yeah, you should watch a few episodes fully through. Always good to watch the first few episodes (I've watched 1-4 I think before I got bored and went back to play video games).
I haven't watched a single episode of PLL season three. Last one I watched was the season two finale.

Ok so most of the way through ep 1. It is SO gay already. Like what even? It's probably just Sasha's acting but the smiles that Maura shoots Jane. When she lies down next to her in bed, and Janes all "is this your way of telling me youre attracted to me?", Jane getting all weird when the guy rings the doorbell.
oh and i'm laughing so hard at that fucking turtle.
love it.

That's great, Charlie! If you liked season 1 (lots of ups and downs), I think you will enjoy the other seasons even more. It starts to get really, really great by the second half of season 2.
Keep me updated.

This is the best part, Charlie. My favorite sequence of Fringe episodes ever: 3x01 to 3x09. Just brilliant.

I still need to get caught up on Fringe, instead of just watching S1 & 2 over and over.

Also:
Spoiler:
Red Olivia is hot, indeed.
But I still prefer our Olivia in terms of character, but also looks. And she grown so much in season 3 as character, whilst I feel the Red Olivia was never a really round up character. And btw, the way Anna Torv plays their differences is just brilliant. It's almost as it was two different actresses playing twins or something.

Oh Fringe! Always loved the red title-card episodes the most during S3.
