Something different in a very good way

Really like how this podcast is much more introspective as compared to others, which are more narrative. They help provide more insight into the characters and how they are affected by the events of the show, and thus bring something different to the plate. Also, I’m struggling to like the last two seasons of the show much, but cycles and Vv are good at finding enjoyable things about every episode, so it makes me appreciate the show more. Well done!

The Best

Queerbaiting?

After listening to the Super Fan episode, I am aggravated about your queerbaiting argument. I am curious if the two host stand by this after watching season 5 and hearing the outpour of the LGBTQ community. (As an ally, I find Season 5 extremely harmful to young LGBTQ viewers by sidelining/ hiding Nia and Kelly as well as the Dansen relationship.)
