But for a split second…

Tagsalso btw if one of the two perspectives had to be shortchanged yesterday, and if anything it would be what would make her believe it's not going to happen, and tbh if we hadn't seen it we might feel more like kate too, and then she kept on calling and calling rana and eventually getting that sinking feeling realizing nope, and then storming off after seeing zee and the family, and we got bhavna's crying to back it up, bhavna limbachia, but we did and gosh so did corrie's whole audience, BUT...like I said, coronation street, faye brookes, femslash related stuff, figuring out how kate got there ourselves isn't too difficult, her being understanding about rana's situation doesn't mean that waiting for this is any easier, how often has kate been in the position of thinking rana'd broken it off and felt that absolute leap of joy only to be brought crashing down, I still think they missed a step from 'are you sure?' to 'no you won't' but it wasn't major, I still would have preferred the b but I'm not cut up about it, I'm so glad it wasn't rana's, it was so valuable to see the whole situation play out for her, it's just...it would have been so EASY to do it, kate connor, like going from a to c but still giving the audience plenty of tools to figure out how to get to b, maybe another scene with kate waiting and waiting, maybe sharing some offhand gossip with sophie about a mutual friend with straight girl problems and then a closeup on kate's worried face, muslim lgbt, not too shabby, oh also I included the third scene because even if not accompanied by the same hope as the others she probably did think it'd happen, or literally just a pause for kate to absorb rana's 'I couldn't do it' and then a resigned no...you won't, rana nazir, some millions of people watching this muslim girl try to confess she's in love with a woman

Hello! I would just like to tell you I absolutely love reading your commentary in the tags of your posts. I look forward to reading them on every gifset! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
when i started watching star trek discovery, i thought at least michael a crush on prime philippa. then the narrative kept insisting their relationship with mother/daughter so i threw my hands in the air and said ig! and now when i watched that scene, i was all ??? this doesn’t read as platonic to me. it can’t be just me seeing things with my own two lesbian eyes (1/2)
First off, I admire your patience with your answers to all the asks, thank you for your thoughtful replies.I have seen lots of frustration and disappointment with the Maya/Carina storyline/airtime in s4 so far on Station 19 and I find it fascinating and strange at how quickly people are forgetting the covid pandemic isn’t just a storyline, it’s real life for everyone right now, including the cast and production team. (That’s a general observation – not one I’ve ever sensed you to have through your responses BTW). That we have had any onscreen, close physical contact nevermind actual physical intimacy that requires the actors to kiss etc is a huge luxury. I don’t know what the exact rules are for the acting industry in the USA at the moment, but in the UK the rules are still strict for actors and were even stricter earlier in the year (at around the time the episodes just broadcast would have been filmed). And just this week Tom Cruise has been widely (and positively) reported about for making sure that the severity of the risks are to the industry and how much effort is being put in by those that can have shows/films in production right now to keep the industry alive for when it hopefully gets a little bit easier.And yes, it’s frustrating to see our favourite story lines within ensemble shows get a ‘lesser’ spotlight than others, especially when the others are the heteronormative, ‘mainstream’ ones.We have no idea what plan A was for s4 – it’s a casualty of covid, twice over. First because the broader narrative was adjusted to accommodate it, almost like the introduction of an additional series member to the ensemble. And second because they have to come up with stories that can be told through scenes filmed in ways that the cast, crew, studio etc are prepared to do because they feel they can do them safely.COVID kills, still by the thousand, every hour and day now, 9+ months after the first lockdowns and shelter in place orders etc. So much of life is unrecognisable for so many because of it, because they have lost people they care about, jobs, homes… And things taken for granted 10 months ago are almost forgotten about, condemned to ancient history because they just can’t happen safely.Yet we have new episodes on TV, made by people who were prepared to hug and kiss and put themselves as elevated risk of catching a seriously scary disease because it was something they could do to help us all, collectively feel like life still goes on.(we could have ended s3 at episode 15 and still be waiting for s4 to start filming….yet we have French Toast that’s better than sex!) Personally, I’m just so glad that we have had Maya and Carina on screen again in 2020 and that the storyline has survived COVID in the real world. Yes, it would be great if it was more and different and all the things as fans we always want. And hopefully it will be nearer that by the end of s4’s whole arc. And if it isn’t? I think I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Hopefully at a point in 2021 when COVID-19 is no longer a main cast member of our lives… On screen and and in real life.
