While I think this is a good piece, it sort of mixes more general fandom issues with the specific issue of LGBT representation in media. There are absolutely fans and fandoms who go too far and act like shows are there purely to facilitate their personal shipper dreams and get upset when anything doesn't go their way.…

He's finally gotten bearable this season as he's now a teenager and the show basically treats him like a young adult, rather than a PRECOCIOUS kid

I know they would never in a million years do this but they should just pull the whole BBC cast for next season, could bring them some new viewers

I thought that said 'rimming' and i was like "What episode are YOU watching?"

She's the title character of a telenovela, she was never just going to settle down with one love interest

He said that he didn't know much about Ramsey because Ramsey just became a Lord. Previously he had just been some bastard Littlefinger had no reason to be interested in.

I haven't seen it but I know it goes in a radically different direction after S1, a lot of the gallaghers leave the show over the seasons and the milkivichs (maguires) play a much larger role, basically becoming the main family in the later seasons

My question is how are they going to explain why Mickey doesn't immediately shoot Sammi in the face?

Where's Josh!! I know he's like 10th on the list of cast importance but two straight episodes without him is not cool

Sure but somehow I doubt it goes down quite like that

Sure my point is just that neither were NBA stars or washouts
