I'll give it one more ep, I figure. There's just too much of her. I didn't mind her so much in the previous seasons, but until she's acting like a peer with Hal and Tom, I...it just grates. She's camp counsellor like whoa right now, and it grates.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
But...Annie. Why did she have to be the one left behind?
Agreed. She's just annoying. I'd have been happy with either of the others. Am two episodes behind but I'm not sure I really care.
With regards to same-sex marriage, the UK only has civil partnerships - no actual marriage yet. The key thing at the moment is that the government intends to pass a law allowing same-sex civil marriage. The churches (of various denominations) are being absolutely appalling about it. Waking up every other morning to some random archbishop telling me I'm singlehandedly responsible for the imminent collapse of British society is just so much fun. Still, if all goes well we should be able to get a marriage upgrade soon. SeskaAndTheGirl 2.0
Some gay rights people thought the 'civil partnership' compromise was a silly fudge from the start, especially since nobody ever calls it anything but 'marriage' in casual conversation.
Quite. That and the fact that civil partnerships confer exactly the same rights as marriage (which is where the churches are sounding completely bonkers right now). We don't think of ours as anything less than a marriage.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What, no commentary on the finale?
I will admit that I spent much of the episode saying, "Hi, Mark!" every time he came onscreen.
Then, you know, "Bye, Mark!"
Semi-relatedly, this (without the makeup) is now my headcanon for Mycroft in his less benevolent moods.
I like the new ghost girl. She is reasonably interesting, distinctly not Annie, and looks to be relating interestingly to the boys.

Tom has did not impress me last season or in the first episode. He strikes me as a decent guy, and tough on the bad guys, but with an occasional loutish streak due to isolated upbringing. As the season progresses, does he show more than that?
