In Defense of Amy Gardner.

I kind of agree with the tone of this blog, except I think I always also disliked the way Amy pursues her politics. We don't share exactly the same feminism. I tend to think her brand of feminism is why most women in America tell pollsters they don't identify as a feminist.

I think she might have been a more interesting character had she ever stuck around in and racked up more non-Josh scenes. I would have liked to have seen a season five with Sorkin at the helm and Parker promoted to the credits so we could have seen him do the alcoholism plotline. (And man, I just know someone's going to call on me to source that information, so: it's in the s3-s4 scriptbook, and in the Sorkin commentary track on one of her s4 episodes. michellek knows the score.)

None the less, will never get over the guilt I feel for not liking Amy as much because of being a shipper. SO SORRY TO BE THAT PERSON.

The Flashforward Pilot is gonna have Joseph Fiennes?

Fuck yes. I really enjoyed that book, and it's SAD that Pretty/Handsome didn't get picked up for a full series. That pilot is amazing.

I absolutely adore Amy - she's actually my second-favourite TWW woman, after CJ. But I appreciate it looks different from a J/D shipper POV.
