So, a small meta thing about 11x02

[citrusjava]

You probably saw Carver's graceless reaction at ComiCon to fans having issue with Charlie being killed off - particularly form a social justice POV.

In 11x02, (written by Andrew Dabb, same person who wrote the ep Charlie died in), Show said - oh, you don't like that we killed off a woman who's attracted to other women? Here, have another one! 3-2-1-dead!


I can't believe this is a coincidence. It reminds me of that Teen Wolf show runner throwing around his power to remind fans "who's boss".

ETA: Sorry, not Dabb -he wrote the next episode, my mistake!

Buckner and Ross-Lemming wrote the episode where Charlie died.

But otherwise, I agree with you. It felt like a kick in the teeth to queer fans.

I'm sorry, you're right of course! He wrote the next episode, I misread when I checked. Thanks for the correction!

And ugh, didn't that suck? ...

It did. It just seemed like, 'Hah, we do what we want! You didn't think you mattered, did you?' Coupled with Hannah's pointless death it really spoiled the episode for me.

YESSS! WTF was that?! And that was like sort-of-almost a character presented as nonbinary (most angels seem to be agender, but most are presented as gendered) - just like with Raphael, btw!
Sucks that it ruined the episode for you!
