Sorry!

I think it was the way the last part of your second sentence worked with the first - specifically the you hear about so many actresses in so many shows who are outspoken about how completely up for an actual lesbian relationship they would be, and out of all of them,.

The bolded bit implies that Angie Harmon is or should be part of the larger set of "actresses up for actual lesbian relationships". The second part - the r&i fans get saddled with angie harmon. - which isn't so bad on its own, suddenly takes on a darker meaning with that bolded bit in front of it.

And, while the bit about the writer being cool with it is super interesting to me (I'm always interested in how writers take adaptions/changes in their work and why), in context with the previous sentence it implies even the original writer is cool with the characters being lesbians! Why can't Angie Harmon get with the program?

Clearly, if you say you didn't mean it that way, then you didn't. (And your second comment was much clearer!) It was just unfortunate wording/phrasing.

oic. your break-down is quite damning, you have a point. i apologize.

i'm ESL and while i think i have an adequate grasp of the language, i'm rarely eloquent in my own mother tongue, it doesn't get better when i switch to english.

There's nothing to apologize for! Everyone messes up. And I love words, so I'm pretty attentive to how they're strung together.

Frankly, your English is really, really good - a lot better than many native English speakers. (Besides, there are some things that you can only learn from a native speaker explaining them to you. I'm trying to learn Spanish and some of the idioms leave me going o_O.) I'm so impressed by you!
