And I have also told you in the past to feel free to ship and I only encourage people to not get their hopes up which is actually a nice thing to do

thank you for that i guess? i will always think the men in charge of this show are sexist dick, with a side of internet creeping though? liking the characters that they semi came up with makes me want to shower forever? I want to delete my fic half the time because of the things they say about women, abuse denying, etc etc? 

but thank you for that i guess. blocking again though. because I don’t want you messaging me anymore.

I am the bully here i know that. i know that.

reddington101 reblogged your post *JE’s words appear on dash* *war flas... and added:

You guys are so rude to him I mean my gosh give the poor man a break and show some respect, would you? Geez.

Eisendrath is an experienced writer and an executive producer, yet he is unable to form semi-coherent arguments when discussing the show he writes for and produces. He basically says that no matter how strongly and clearly the female protagonist expresses something (repeatedly) on-screen, deep down she doesn't really mean it. This "rationalization" is not only a weak excuse to sustain a pseudo-mystery (which he also kinda-sorta admits), but it's deeply problematic and offensive as well. It's also eyebrow-raising that a dynamic he previously labeled sick & twisted has abruptly turned into something universal and relatable in his head, never mind that on the show, Red and Liz's relationship actually got more twisted & darker as a result of Red killing her adoptive father.

And if that's not enough, let me quote his response to Red's "no" in episode 110:

In episode 9 last year, she said to him on the phone, "Are you my father?" And, he was like, "No." When we were debating in the writing of that, should he do that, oh, my God, he's answering and people will be like, "That's it." And we left it in. And, the minute that episode aired, anyone I talked to said, "Oh, he's lying. That can't possibly be the truth." So the question of whether we're going to answer something definitively, I think everybody's smart enough who watches the show to know the answer's no. I do think it's our obligation to give concrete answers like we did there. [x]

and this:

What I think worked really well last year, and what we’ll do this year and every year that we’re on, is we will give concrete answers and tell stories that push their relationship, that deepen their relationship and tell the audience real truths… [x]

So they give concrete answers and tell real truths.

Therefore, Red's "no" in 110 is a concrete answer and a real truth.

Therefore, Red is not Liz's biological father.

Granted, one can give a concrete answer without being definitive when the solution is composed of multiple answers. "Is Red Liz's father?", however, is a simple yes or no question. So, based on what JE says, they already provided us with the solution. This particular mystery has been solved. It is no longer subject to debate, and yet:

hopefully we have a few tricks up our sleeves this year that will keep the debate going [x]

So not only does he admit that they don't have a proper excuse (at this point forget legit character motivation) for not addressing a basic solution to the father conundrum (DNA test), he also hopes the audience/fans will continue wasting their time debating something that was - according to him - already answered in episode 110.

How wonderful for us all.

If you are fine with all this, if you think this is acceptable and respectable, that's your prerogative. I, for one, won't "give him a break". I won't because he writes and produces one of my favorite TV shows. I expect more from him. He should know better. He should do better than this.

A piece of advice for all my followers: Never listen to/or spread gossip.  It's ugly and makes you ugly.  Everyone knows "THAT" person who can't keep their mouth shut and spreads rumors, or even truths, like a disease... and no one ever has nice things to say about said person... it just makes you look desperate, needy, and two faced.

You have to listen to this song: Gotta go classic... "Wrecking Ball" by Bruce Springsteen... or pretty much ANY song by him... since he's the walking embodiment of American storytelling.  I think he's officially surpassed Bob Dylan as the US's folk/rock/classic storyteller.  Cheesy I know, but true :)

My blog(s): Just this one...

Whew... that was harder than I thought... sorry if I rename people who've already gotten this... tried to look at the names so far ;-)  I name...

Megan no one retweeted a lizzington video and one of the things it said in the tweet was "#Lizzington love story <3" I don't get it, I could never see them make lizzington a thing on the show...

Yeah I have seen her retweet. Another one of those videos. It’s a cute video. It’s well made and she likes to retweeting them. It’s no secret that she herself ships lizzington. She had a crush on James Spader long before the start of the show.

No, they didn’t make it a thing so far. At least not a blooming lovestory. He keeps her safe (like the song in the video says). That’s it there was to romance. And there won’t be one in the second season if you want to believe SpoilerTv. But it’s only natural for the Lizzington to make such videos. I don’t see it either because I interpretate his actions in another way. But they see it and they want to express it with either videos or fanfictions/fanart. I don’t have a problem with that, I like to watch the videos. (He keeps her safe after all ^^ It’s a beautiful song)

I do have a problem with Megan Boone however. I like her I really do but she shouldn’t blend her own opinion into public. She enjoys Lizzington and that’s OK. But she shouldn't do it in public. She is a part of the show and shouldn’t mess with it. No cast member said things about any ship whatsoever the way she did in the past. That makes her appear inexperienced. You can tease your audience but to align yourself with one side is a no go. She is supposed to “love” all her audience but by chosing one side she is chosing only a group/part. I read a line by someone who said “it is really hard to ship Keenler if Megan herself ships Lizzington”. And that shouldn’t happen. We enjoy to ship something (no matter what) while watching a TV show and even beyond the final. Let us ship Keenler, Lizzington, Daddygate, Tom and Lizzy and even Aram and Lizzy without a guilty conscience which we get by her chosing a side. She doesn’t write the script though and she is only expressing her own preference but I would prefer she would have kept it.
