Elementary!! I watched for Lucy Liu, and then was pleasantly surprised by not hating Holmes and his white dudeness? Or, like, I like that the show is not letting his genius excuse his bad behavior and is showing Watson as an equal/brilliant in other ways. Plus Holmes sincerely apologizes to her (and other people) when he crosses boundaries and such. And Watson! Still treated as a person!! Amazing! This shouldn't be as novel as it is.
Stuff that makes me rage re this fandom are when people are WRONG about the show (mostly about Liu/Watson).
And, um, Go On, a sitcom, because John Cho is on it. The first few eps are faily, but then it had some endearing moments. And while the main character isn't as horrible as he could be, I keep wishing it starred anyone but a white dude. (I find it more watchable than Community, so far.)
Speaking of which, The Mindy Project makes me kind of tired and ragey, because it is SUPER white gazey and I think has no plans of changing that, despite (or maybe BECAUSE of) Mindy Kaling's involvement.
Oh! And SCANDAL. I'm a few eps behind because I HATE Fitz. But Olivia! I ♥ her. But Fitz is so terrible, and the show wants us to see him as all romantic and tortured, and ugh. He's basically single-handedly ruining the show for me.
And I'm torn between wanting Allegiance to have a bigger fandom, because I want to see all the meta and fanworks about the themes in the musical, and not, because then the potential for fail is smaller?
