I highly, highly doubt that they'll go down that path, if only because Lauren and Andy technically aren't Fenris. Their... what, great-grandparents? are. And the show has definitely implied some incest between those two, so the show has their bases covered. <br /><br />Would it turn me off the show? I don't know. I feel like we're in a very different viewing experience post Game of Thrones. For better or worse, that show has almost normalized it. I mean, how many people ship Jon and Dany? I certainly wouldn't be a fan if Andy and Lauren get together. I would probably complain about it every chance I got. But I would probably still watch the show.An Honest Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093676731627861429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58470876170249439082017-12-08T00:23:53.187-05:002017-12-08T00:23:53.187-05:00I think what irks me the most about the show is th...I think what irks me the most about the show is the immense level of contrivance required to make the stooges at Sentinel Services come across as a real threat, considering what we know about the mutant team's powers. Blink has to be contrived into not being able to use her powers at every turn. In this episode Andy used his powers once, and Lauren <i>not at all.</i> Newsflash, they don't need to be combining their forces to pose a damn credible threat. The way they just surrendered to SS, especially after that scene where Andy unleashed against that home militia mob, felt really forced.<br /><br />I still watch the show though, and I'm actually kinda fond of it at times. I like the cast. I always liked Moyer, I like Winnifred ;) and I've been a fan of Natalie since her stint on Gotham.<br /><br />Because I'm always the one bringing up the most awkward things, iirc Fenris in the comics were incestuous. Now I realize the show would likely never do such a thing but if they did, would that turn you off the show? I'm personally torn.Thomas Ijon Tichyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401298696128080459noreply@blogger.com
