If I weren't so convinced about JM's behind-the-scenes meddling, I would almost be holding out hope that the continued A/K desert is because they are waiting for the perfect moment for the eventual reunion -- when ample time and energy is available to give attention to do that plot right. I am just so sure that JM won't let things progress ever again past "A/K are civil," and JM's sourpuss is where my optimism goes to die. :(

Look, I concede you're right that JM is unlikely to let anything that I want to see come to pass between Alicia and Kalinda. However, I guess I trust in Archie's ability to silently Kalicia the fuck out of anything they get...and JM giving in to the chemistry without meaning to! ;-)

I think the perfect time for a reconnection was in the aftermath of Will's death and I feel that moment has passed. But I think your point might be correct, the season's kick off is very full. We have Diane leaving, now we'll get her arriving at the new joint. Cary's obviously got a big arc at the start. And we have Alicia not running, but about to change her mind. Perhaps in the back half of the season (and we know now that the Kings intend to write the season as two halves) when those stories flag a revival of A/K will be thrown in to revive interest. And fandom would go crazy if it did happen.

For what it's worth, the Buzzfeed article does seem to have gained traction. There's some tweets from fans. People like Emily Nussbaum mentioned the A/K drought. Chris Harnick longed for an A/K hug in his latest article. And people who aren't me have also been bringing it up on Tumblr. So at least it has regained status as an "issue" publicly. That's something!

LOL, I wasn't counting, but then...love those people on Tumblr, God bless them. When I saw 30, then 31, then 32 episodes and counting, I kinda started counted too.

And my cold little black heart is just cackling now that I see OTHER people noticing and counting, too. It's kinda funny and I'm thinking it will become more so now that people of more importance have taken notice. It will be interesting to keep seeing Robert trying to ignore the facts, or worse, coming up with some bullshit excuses.

I think this is the point. It's not possible for someone like Jace to say "this is an issue" unless it's an issue in fandom. And now that the stalwart whingers have been validated there's fresh air to the issue and more people are complaining. There are people now counting on TGW Confessions blog for instance.
