the discourse around "the scott hunter episode is unnecessary" is so dumb for a variety of reasons especially considering how important hunter's coming out was to hallanov's relationship but from a viewer perspective, like dude, back in the day when television was good, we used to have episodes where main characters wouldn't even show up for a couple of them bc plot needed to be somewhere else not involving said mcs and it doesn't cheapen the story, it doesn't take away focus. it gives you more perspectives of the world these characters live in! complaining about having more povs is such small brain energy im sorry if you're boring.
