What other shows do you watch with lesbian love triangles, OP?

pretty sure they mean the one show is oversaturated with it, not that there are too many in media

No! There's never enough! I'm starved of overdramatic lesbian love triangles. We need this!

Well guess what...

I'm warning you...

Well??? Don't keep us in suspense!

The Delphine/Cosima ship is apparently sunk.

Although I have mixed feelings about this entire season. They pushed too many kick-the-puppy-because-I-love-you moments on Delphine while making Helena's ultra-violence into sisterly devotion. The bad/good forgiveness turnaround for Mrs. S. felt like it needed more time. Ferdinand really needs a waxed mustache to twirl. And pulling out the other crazy cultists out of the woodwork after they've not been seen since Leakie, and doing it through nonsensical body horror felt abrupt.

But Fee got some badass to to with his sass.

it's great to see a lesbian love triangle at all, but i know where you're coming from

i feel the same way with most love het triangle plots too. they tend to take over everything else in the show

Settle down, Felix :U

Ngl though, I hate love triangles. Lesbians can't lure me any closer to wanting that much less be interested in either of those pairs.

...OP, I agree I am tired of love triangles being used so much too, but you could have worded this secret so much better.

What's wrong with it? /not the OP

na

yeah, idk either. The only thing I can think of is that the OP didn't need to put "lesbian" in front of "love triangle" because it's obvious that all the characters in the secret are women anyway but even then, I wouldn't consider that offensive

(no subject)

Yeah, it grated on me too. On the other hand though, it was nice to have it confirmed for me once and for all that I find lesbian love triangles just as tiring as heterosexual love triangles. Good to know

lol, I haven't watched the show (mean to, one day) but feel this would be me. I hateeeeeeeeee love triangles, of any kind. (Though, you raise a good point in that I can't really THINK of any gay or lesbian love triangles atm...I know there have been instances where I thought a show was going there and it pissed me off, but can't think of any 'full-fledged' ones.)

I hate love triangles in general and I've never liked/trusted Delphine at ANY point in the series, so I'm totally fine with how it was 'resolved' in the season finale. Her and Cosima's relationship was not even a little bit healthy, being based as it was on deceit. Even if Shay has some dark secrets, I can't see her doing half the crazy shit Delphine did.

Shay is also super adorable and seems like a much better person for Cosima. One of my Tumblr friends was railing on about how horrible Shay was and how perfect her cinnamon roll Delphine was, and ... yeah, I don't agree.

I like Delphine as a power-grabbing scientist with dodgy ethics, but I do not like her as a girlfriend, not at all. Still, I don't really blame Cosima for what Delphine did to Shay - as far as Cosima knew, Delphine had been sitting on that information and hadn't hurt Shay yet. But I do blame her for making up with Delphine when she knew that she'd threatened Shay's life!

I hate love triangles but I'll suck it up for more lesbian representation.

Well, it looks like you got your wish.

Oh man I don't watch this show but I saw this secret and immediately scrolled down because I KNEW there would be comments like "'bout that." I'm not disappointed.

all love triangles are terrible

Love triangles suck but OP sounds more bothered by the lesbian part. Butts to that.

OP here. No, you're reading too much into it. I dislike most love triangles, period. I was relieved when show backed off the whole Sarah/Paul/Cal thing, because that was the pits.

Maybe I shouldn't have used "lesbian" in the secret, even though it is a perfectly relevant and accurate description? People are weird.

Thanks for the spoilers OP >:(
It's not been shown yet in the UK and I was doing really well in avoiding it online. Seriously, why wasn't this under the spoilers header at the end?
