Patty and Ellen.
If I had a drink right now, it would have been spat.
person: hey wanna hang out
thoughts: omfg how do i get myself out of this“Sorry, but I can’t. I have to be home when my favorite TV show is on: ‘The Most Beautiful Railroads of Europe’. My favorite episode is coming up, and I would really hate myself if I missed it.”
WHY CAN’T I STOP WATCHING THIS HELP
First off, this is the show that’s made me want to get into TV writing someday. I’m serious. It’s everything I want that I never even knew I wanted (except for the 1940s lesbians, I’ve been waiting for something like that for aaaages). I’m so immensely jealous of the people who get to work there. The writer’s room sounds like so much fun: debating where a character arc will go? That’s pretty much all my brain ever does.
And the guy sounds like a catch of an artiste, going to bat for his work and caring deeply for his characters. Imagine that! It’s very interesting as well that he doesn’t outline, that he just wings it. I’ve never heard of anything like that for a TV show, and it seems to work… it all seems seamless. There’s a ton of foreshadowing and parallel…. ling?
More specific thoughts (this is more than a page long holy crap):
Gillian Anderson as Loretta Lee - The Mighty.
FREAK THE MIGHTY. That book was so damn sad, worse than Bridge to Terabithia. I think I cried at the end. Plus my uncle was an extra in the movie. True story.

This needs a caption. Any ideas?
Here are mine:
- SUDDENLY… lesbian lawyers.
- I just woke up this morning, and there it was. Frobo, LOOK!
(Do you think a rainbow spider could have bitten me in my sleep?)- How I manage to win all my cases? BEHOLD, THE POWER OF THE RAINBOW
- ELLEN.
- Frobo, what do you mean my gay is showing?
- It happened again, didn’t it? How do I turn it off?!
- We, the jury, find the show gay as charged and sentence the protagonists to life out of closet. The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
