I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
That being said, I'm still holding out hope. I'm not sure why this isn't working for me as well, although I suspect it's an even heavier hand as far as message storytelling here. I'm mostly holding out on this one because of Viv: I still love her as a character, even when I'm not crazy about her team's dynamics.
