Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Is Season Three about people who invent pointless jargon being found bludgeoned to death with a copy of the style guide?

He's a stoic AP-loving copy-editor with a checkered past and an ex-wife out for his blood. She's a lacrosse-playing lesbian author with a unshakable belief in the Chicago manual of style and a passion for the oxford comma. Together they... mostly argue a lot.

The Season One story arc is a battle over Oxford commas. But things heat up in Season Two, when a killer is enforcing one space after a period by removing the writers as well as the extra space.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

"Depends on your feeling on the Oxford comma."
