#i fear triage may have been the peak of sammon writing bl

It’s interesting to know what Sammon intended for the show, but tbh:

The big romance explanation is not very compelling an idea and not well aligned with the other themes around class disparity and accountability in the work

A lot of the stuff she is claiming as part of the resolution didn’t actually happen (I def missed the part of the show where the “relationship developed properly and gradually” or Great actually did any meaningful atonement)

The different “parallel universes” were never actually brought together and there is no clarity around their shared memories so there is no mutual relationship for them to build from

Not sure if this is just the best explanation she could offer for the result or if this really was her vision and the production just failed to get some of it across. Either way, it’s never good when you have to post an essay explaining your show because people are so confused about what you were trying to say.

I guess the most useful thing here is you can officially classify this as a bl, since apparently the romance was the point!
