That, and tons of off screen action involving…

The music all around has been over the top. 75% of my laughs come from how inappropriately dramatic the music cues are during forced scenes of emotion.

Season 2 sucked in comparison to the first season, but has retroactively become the second best season after we have all endured almost five full seasons. Russell redeemed season 3, but barely. I don't even know what happened in season 4 at this point other than it being a waste of my time.

Yep, that's the only logical course of action when you're dealing with a sterile husband. Adoption? Donor sperm? Nope, better have a supernatural baby with a blood contract stipulating the traumatic transfer of a first born half-faery child. Yep.
