You can't possibly think I was serious.

But the judgment "healthy" is premature, and some people draw a ridiculous line between healthy and unhealthy. I think a lot of people won't be satisfied until BLs cast actual stuffed animals that just say cute things to each other for the whole series.

Episode 5 at 48:00. I agree about the acting.

Thanks - that does explain a lot. But they still could have had an ending. Tawi wasn't in the government, and we never even saw him do anything bad - the opposite, actually. He defended the people's right to self-expression and protest, and instead of getting angry at Sean, he engaged him in coversation and sought no retaliation. TBH, he seems more like a good guy than Black or anyone else in the gang, who are essentially terrorists.

No - the purpose of Todd's character. He served no real plot purpose - anyone could have beaten Black - maybe the henchman who organized kidapping everyone. If they were going to include him, they needed to have him do something, like use his henchmen to help, or give the Scooby Gang inside info.

Your first paragraph certainly makes sense, but we were never told any of that, and a lot of it is guesswork or making assumptions about people's motivations that we never saw in the story. Why is a mechanic so knowledgable about weapons and fighting, and how did Black get mixed up with him? You don't normally discuss overthrowing the entire social order with your mechanic.

Gram, I would argue, is just a side character (also unnecessary, as was whats-her-name) and nobody cares what his story is, but Gumpa is too central to the situation to leave that out. It seemed like the mother might have been a Big Bad - why introduce her if she serves no independent role? Her position was largely White's before he joined the gang, so she wasn't needed.

Tawi (who as I mentioned never did anything evil, and was actually fairly nice and patient, so is he a villain?) can't kill anyone right immediately after what happened, but he can certainly kill Dan, who nobody knows about, after things die down. The rest of the gang he'll need to wait longer to pick off.

How was Black in Todd's way? That's the sort of thing that we need to know. Black was a main character and the whole point of the story is White wanted to find who did it - I think the 'why' is pretty important.

Whole essays are good - I write them all the time. :)

I have no idea. It seemed like they were investigating Yang, but he never seems to do anything, although he does more than Pun. Maybe he asked because he's confused why Pun appears to dote on MIlk when his fiance is right there.

Agree. Gun actually used to be a lot more muscular - check him out in Puppy Honey, and he was physically intimidating and scary in I Am Your King. But here it was a bit silly. I'll bet he could build himself up fairly rapidly - that should have happened. Now that you mention it, I wonder if this was written for MaxTul, or with them in mind? Of the main cast, the most muscular was Dan, and he wasn't very muscular. His body is almost as perfect a work of art as his face, but I'm not sure I'd choose him in a fight.

OK, but who the heck was Gumpa? What happened to W/B's mother? Was Tawi even a villain? He never did anything but nice things. Why did Todd put Black in a coma? What was the purpose of his characer at all (other than sexiness)? I don't see how there was resolution to their characters. What's Black going to do now (OK, that one can stay mysterious), and what's White going to do? How have the baddies not killed Dan for betraying them? I could go on for paragraphs. The character arcs and romances were pretty good, but you can't introduce that many plot threads and then drop them ALL. By the third segment I started to realize nothing else was going to happen and I had to stop and see if there was another episode.

What the f#$% was that? I guess better a non-ending than a terrible one, but for a series like this a non-ending IS a terrible one. This dropped every plot thread in the entire series and just... ended.

I thought the rescue was just a way point before we headed to the final conclusion, but nope - that was it. No twists, no resolution, no news on what happened to all the major players, nothing. I can't believe it.

I don't know if I'm getting old or not, but there's a lot I don't retain. To be fair to me, most of this series is too dull to keep in my head. I have a vague recollection of Milk having a breakup - but mostly because of that flashback of him going to a monastery.

It was when Son came home from the hospital - Pun took a shower and was in a towel for a while. Son was on a video call with his brothers who asked why he was undressed - he's a bad liar so he said he peed himself and had to clean up. He has a beautiful build. Forunately, because he's not getting by on his acting. Although to be fair, the two times he's displayed emotion he was decent, so it may be the directing.

That's a good point - he didn't seem to have any shame about the act itself.

I still like this quite a bit - it needs to pick up a little, as this pace is a tad slow. This ep needed repetitiousness to make the point, but it could have injected a little more energy. Intead they went with the standard BL minor-injury & q-tip cliche. Why not something scary instead?

I think it is - but it's a bit early to tell. It's trying something different, which is refreshing. Peope like their BL formula, and this doesn't follow it. That's probably a lot of the negative review. The pace is on the slow side, probably another issue for some people, but so far that hasn't been a problem for me.

Same. Except I have no idea what the plot of my own life is for about a day afterwards.

Isn't asking Ryo to stop right in the middle of things the definition of the innocent virgin stereotype?

Yes, Son is the only thing I'm interested in. Well, I don't mind it when Pun takes his shirt off.

I think there are probably series that can work in print but would be a tad on the ridiculous side in live-action. Maybe even disturbing. Also, I think I now have diabetes after watching the trailer.

Bestiality isn't healthy. You can get diseases from that and animals can't really consent.

Well, whoever he was, I liked his short shorts. I sort of remember that Milk had an ex, but not really - thanks for the help.

I liked the Greek Chorus too - "If they're happy this late in the series that means next episode will be very dramatic" was a funny line.
