Diggle did you say you have a thing for your sister-in-law there? He did. I don't ship him as much with Oliver as I did in the first few episodes, but it's still my only ship in this show, so this doesn't help.
Mulan/Aurora FTW! <3 I'm so not interested in them bringing back Philip, unless they end up in a ménage-à-trois, which I also find highly unlikely since this is ABC.
Neal, people are managing to get to Storybrook from OTHER WORLDS, complete with days and days of travel on foot, faster than it's taking you to drive across a couple states. This! XD
I don't really ship anything on Arrow (Well, Moira/Walter a bit, but I mostly just want them to be happy and alive and her to be free of whatever she's involved in. I was hoping to ship Laurel and Helena based on the comics, but they wouldn't give me anything there.) but if I were to go for m/m slash in the show, I'd probably choose that over Oliver/Tommy, if only because I don't care for Tommy and how "bros before hos" he is. I get the impression Diggles's thing there is onesided, though.
Ditto re: Philip. I didn't dislike him or anything, but I can't see how bringing him back would add anything interesting.
I'm assuming Neal is rightly waffling in a deserved sea of guilt somewhere, possibly while sitting in a deserted meadow, picking petals off flowers and going "she will shoot me on sight...she will not shoot me on sight...she will shoot me on sight...." (Though if I were him, I'd worry more about all the people there who are going to be VERY interested to learn he left teenaged Emma in jail to serve time for the crime he
I Belle/Ruby because Ruby's the one who's shown her the most respect of ever. That's my two cents for them ♥
I think Elementary's Chinatown was pretty good. I get what you mean about being still a tad stereotypical, but honestly I think that's the least stereotypical depiction of it I've seen on tv ever.
You know what. Given that we're about nine episodes in. I'm still good with Holmes overstepping her boundaries. Because honestly, if I didn't do that at all, it wouldn't really be a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. What I do like is that the show is clearly calling him out on it and not sitting by and accepting it (which I think what makes it differ the most from the other SH adaptations; the others he oversteps boundaries but everyone just sort of gets used to it and acts like there's nothing wrong). If that makes any sense?
Ruby is the ONLY person who's interacted with Belle extensively who's seemed to have any respect for her. (I mean, she is part of the veritable legion that has hit/locked up/tied up/etc. Belle, but she's the only one who can say she did it out of legitimate and fairly justified fear for her safety.) I mean, IIRC, Grumpy was his version of respectful towards her in their one interaction last season and Charming's been pretty nice to her, but I don't get the feeling they've interacted much outside of what we've seen onscreen

As I mentioned to a friend who just started watching Once recently, this is the only show ever where the ruling fanon ship is the main character and her stepgrandmother, and where many a fan is prone to going "you are mother and daughter, not girl friends, STOP THAT
( ... )
So there's going to be a spinoff about Mulan and Aurora's lesbian adventures, right?
This is one of those times I look at what's going on, and I'm like thinking to myself, "How do the writers/producers not see this as completely gay? Because it's completely gay!" Which is, of course, a marvelous thing, but I wish it were canon more often.
I don't want to see Neal, though I'm pretty sure they'll kill him rather than keep him around because it'd be awkward after not too long.
I'm pretty sure the writers are aware that the show has a strong femslash fandom. If nothing else, I know some of the actresses have commented on it. (Actually, IIRC someone asked Ginnifer Goodwin if she thought Emma and Regina would get together and she said no and got called homophobic, and she was all "You didn't ask me what I thought about femslash or homosexuality! I just said I don't think Emma would hook up with her stepgrandmother!" [who had Emma evicted, arrested, aired her criminal record to hurt Henry, and accidentally almost killed Henry while trying to curse Emma. I'm a shipper there too, but if they hooked up, I'd think the writers lost it
( ... )
I think the thing with Ginny was more clueless privilege. Like she said something that she thought was self-explanatory, and then she kind of shot herself in the foot more for clarifying with a "but the het pairing might get shown!" tacked on at the end. I don't think she had bad intentions, but I felt a little miffed with it. She reminded me of Gwenyth Paltrow's many mindless blunders (like the N's in Paris thing
( ... )
Everything I've heard about Murphy makes me glad I never checked out Glee. A lot of Swan Queen shippers make me glad I've never really been deeply into this fandom (though this is one of the few times where the fandom ship where the shippers concern me with their devotion and hopes of canonicity is a pairing I like too). I doubt they'll ever actually have a lesbian pairing onscreen, but I do get the feeling that they want to encourage the f/f shipping. But yeah, Ginnifer put her foot in her mouth a bit (I got the feeling she was trying to cover multiple inquiries without realizing how it could come across with them combined) but I think the reaction from some was more than she deserved
( ... )
Recent Elementary episodes have continued the "I love this show because I love the characters and the growing relationship" pattern. That being said, I wasn't quite as fond of 1.10 as I was of 1.08 or 1.09.
PoI: Donnelly's cop-crush on Carter is really rather adorable.
I laughed at your lines about Fusco. I think that since he is the most likely to die, maybe he'll make it? The show is just leading us on and he'll outlast everyone else? heh
I totally think they're writing it so that we keep expecting Fusco to die so we'll be surprised when he lives every week. (Though, if his current antics get Carter in trouble, Reese might kill him. Not in a "lols Reese is gonna kill you dude" way but in a "Reese sounded so chipper when he talked about taking care of Beecher if he messed with Carter because HE MEANT IT and the hint of endangering Carter ups the urge to kneecap to the nth degree and he likes her WAY more than he does you, dude" way.)
