sigh. yes, i've mentioned several times this season that whatever gets in the way, the deal is not happening. writing is about choices. the way you make your choices is to play them all out and to see where they take you, and choose the one with the prettiest view.
my response was to a post talking about shiv getting played and her role in this. i was gaming this out from her perspective because i find it interesting right now. she got squeezed out of the threesome with a bunch of mixed metaphors, and in typical shiv fashion, she's acting like a dipshit. that's who she is.
this show works on a rotating entourage-style story arc, where everything is great, then everything is trouble, then everything gets solved, until it doesn't. this isn't lost or 24. it's practically a cbs procedural at this point.
but yes, sure, i'll be the one person who isn't entertaining hypotheticals on this thread. good god, man. i guess every thread needs a shiv.
