I just think it’s really sad and insulting that they took Sally Ride, who did have a partner for decades, and make her proxy alone and a Republican. How I see it now playing out is that she’ll be forced to keep playing a role until something comes out, either about her or Larry, and that’s finally when she’s out, voluntarily or not and presumably at the end of the season does something to justify this whole arc. I mean, I’d have departed from where we are long before s3, I think s2 should have been the big coming out with Pam and when faced with a backlash or being forced to resign, going to the private sector and s3 would have been her winning back the public’s favor. How do you see Ellen’s story play out in S3 vs how you’d like it to play out? Or, lol, if the “poet” Helios picks is Pam and we get an Away kind of situation, lol. I still wouldn’t count out the show deciding they want Ellen to have a relationship with another woman now, though. And it would be a twist to the Clinton/Monica scandal vs following it. I can’t see Ellen pursuing anyone since she hasn’t in decades since Pam. I’m thinking Larry per sex scandal vs Ellen because he’s always had partners but I think once they get into the White House, it will be a lot harder for him to have sex so he’ll resort to fucking around at the White House and gets caught. And if we got tons more interiority, her perspective, her conflict, I’d be like, okay, let’s see what you’re trying to do, but we didn’t even see Ellen decide to go into politics, two men and her ex-gf decided for her? Maybe there’ll be a flashback… I was so nervous to have them even GLANCE at the AIDS epidemic, and was hoping that they would just be like…it didn’t happen in this timeline no worries! But to have Ellen be a fucking REPUBLICAN in the EIGHTIES is, frankly…homophobic?! Wildly disrespectful?!? IDEK BUT IT IS UPSETTING. OOF! I had an inkling/fear/anticipation that FAMK would do something like this. I liked previous versions of Ed, but the show’s just decided it needs to be all interpersonal drama all the time, however ridiculous and out of character.Īnd oh, that disclaimer was for anyone else who likes the show and might have ended up reading that answer, given I did tag it. But now the show’s doing exactly what it was supposed to have moved past, still giving white guys the plot armor and punishing the women and gays and don’t even get me started on Dani. The really great thing about s1 was that those first two eps set up Ed and Gordo as the typical leads for a show like this, cool swashbuckling white guys, and then ep 3 really turned things on a head and we saw Ed support the women while Gordo was shown as being in the wrong for putting down Tracy’s chances, for example.

So don't worry about upsetting us, it's all good haha So I don't mind if it's not exactly positive lol. Is it bad that I wish his character had less screentime? But yea I enjoy your honest commentary. I also got upset that they were basically rewarding Ed even despite those racist/misogynistic comments. Poor Ellen deserved so much of a better storyline, like where are they even going with this character? The Helios storyline feels a bit like Elon Musk kind of vibe. Honestly I skipped the weird Karen/Danny scenes and didn't like that they forced such a romance. But the 2nd season and this new season have been disappointing. I'm in the same boat, like I enjoyed the 1st season.
