Definitely the culture we live in, I agree. It's driven me to almost anti-shipperism.
Ringer was a let-down. So many interesting possibilities in the pilot. I don't know if it got CWified or what, but I didn't care for the obvious plotlines.
What the creeping blue FUCK? It's still a pretty piss-poor picture.
Perhaps it's due to a lack of lesbian showrunners? Straight people who don't really know how to write them, so they go back to tropes. Most US TV writers and showrunners are as disconnected from society as our politicians are. Most grew up in Hollywood, 2nd or 3rd generation screenwriters. Of course, so did Joss, so I don't know.
