urrrrgh I wish I didn't have to agree with this. I wish the producers were lovely people who may have made poor decisions in terms of character plots but weren't ultimately douchebags. It would be SO EASY to have THE SAME SHOW even with all the mistakes and JUST NOT BE AN ASS ABOUT IT. I mean, weak roles for female characters is not great, but if they didn't try to weasel out of it it would at least make them not look like horrible people! And I remember Bradley giving a much better response to the slash question early on, something about no, they don't think they're gay, but he was glad the audience saw something in their relationship to use? **can't find the quote**

ANYWAY. I agree with you.
