Gabi: “Where’s Lena? I’m Worried About The Safety Of My Clients Bc She’s Crashing Out.”

a thought: sir's childhood neighbor is actually gabi's mom, and the neighbor/gabi's mom passing away is what prompts him to abduct gabi and try to "give" her the life he was denied by his own mother (and what he got a glimpse of through his neighbor/gabi's mom).

This episode is so good!!! There isn't a minute that isn't hitting for me.

We are getting well fed with sir scenes this episode and I am here for it!!!

FOUND Season 2: Missed Opportunity

So, my mom had a theory during the early episodes of this season of the show Found. It was so good that I wish I could have shot it to the writer’s room to run with it. She basically suggested that Lacey’s mom was Sir’s accomplice all along. Like, chick was bat💩 crazy this entire time and helping him because she is in love with him. It would explain why he could move so seamlessly in and out of that baby’s room after their escape. She could also be crazy jealous of Gabi and secretly plotting her downfall because Sir will never love her the way he loves Gabi. I hate to pit us against each other but this would have been too good. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Sir is actually Lacey’s biological father in this scenario? (BOOM 🎤 drop)

It would explain why he took her originally and why her mom never really seemed all that shook about it. It would also explain why he let her live the second time around. His sister being the accomplice doesn’t explain how Sir had so much inside information about the agency before she was introduced on the show. He had their files like he had a man/woman on the inside. Lacey’s mom being the accomplice would explain that. It also would be a very interesting arc for Lacey to have to navigate. She would be utterly destroyed and the actress would really have some serious trauma to navigate in that role. Perhaps even question her own morality with Sir as her father. So juicy.

But alas, opportunity missed.

Our Flag Means Blep

AND THE CROWD GOES MILD❗❗❗ anyways

The confirmation that Ethan used to be Dhan’s therapist but closed down his practice after they got together irritates me so bad. Because there’s a clear power imbalance there. And, yet, Ethan can’t understand why Dhan has an unyielding loyalty to Gabi.

Like you’re married to him after treating his trauma, and can’t understand that maybe he grows VERY ATTACHED to people who take care of him? Oh.

I'm just kind of fucking tired about this happening to good, funny, smart, diverse, queer shows. Ofmd has a huge fan base, a lot of potential, and became mainstream popular off of what was essentially a cold release of the first season. This show did everything right and was still not safe. I wish I could say I'm fired up or angry, but I'm just tired and sad. This was the first show I'd ever seen have a canon trans character (especially a nb person), the first show I saw with a poly relationship, the first show that basked so proudly in its racial diversity, the first show I watched that allowed for so much love for its disabled characters. This show was full to bursting with love. And they took it away from us.

It was queerbait, actually (A repository)

(It's almost three am but I am fuming, I've been collecting these for a while, my evidence, I WILL write a detailed post about this in a few days but I wanted to leave this here in case anyone else wanted to see how fucking deep this goes)

HYPOTESIS: Nandermo is textbook queerbaiting, not in spite the characters being queer but BECAUSE of it. The ship was used deliberately by the writers, the actors and the marketing in order to bring lgbt viewership to the show with NO intention on ever delivering on their promise.

Also the show presented itself as queer, marketed itself as queer and went to win GLAAD awards two years in a row then proceded to have no m/m or f/f couples for SIX seasons. Their queer rep were just jokes.

WHAT'S QUEERBAITING:

(I hate that I have to use wikipedia and dictionary.com but the actual articles about it are behind paywalls and I am poor)

Okay on to WWDITS

Let's talk marketing:

These are from season 3, 4, 5 and 6

Season five:

The show is over, it had six seasons, where were my m/m or f/f couples? Because I sure as hell didn't see one apart from the one episode with Freddie, that's it, that's all we got. Apart from that it was just jokes.

But that's not about nandermo, you say, it's just about queerness, then what about this: FUCKING HEAVY HANDED NANDERMO MARKETING FOR YEARS:

OR THIS:

How about what the show's socials were posting, this is from season 3 or 4

Now let's see what the writers were saying (this is before season 5):

The infamous that's his boss moment came from this:
