@InvisibleInsomnia:
Yeah, I feel the same, like true bisexuality being portrayed before our very eyes is cool and all, but every choice they've made has been the wrong one. There's nothing wrong with a character liking more than once person at a time, and that'd be an interesting approach in something that isn't specifically a love triangle plot.
I also get this weird feeling that they made changes out of nowhere, but I don't understand why they would. And you're right, the fact that it just gets chucked at us out of nowhere definitely makes it a lot worse. I think there were ways to do this if what they wanted was a Gram/Eugene ending, and there were ways to do this if they wanted a Gram/Black ending, but neither of those seem to fit the narrative anymore.
I feel like there HAS to be a reason they left that in, so I don't imagine it'll just be a new direction with Eugene, but at this point, I can't imagine a change in direction that wouldn't feel cheap or uncomfortable. They have three episodes left to approach a potential Gram/Black ending, and one of those episodes is used up, at least partly, to do more of the Gram/Eugene stuff, so it's hard to believe they'll be able to pull that off if it is end game. If Gram is pretending to like Eugene for some reason, there's no way that's going to be satisfying either unless Gram is a surprise bad guy, and then it'd be more wtf than anything. I don't know, I could try reaching to find a way to make sense of it, but there's very little they can do to fix what they've created.
They were still filming the show while it was airing, and I can't imagine anything in the fan reactions could have prompted Gram being such a freak and Eugene being a total pawn. It's like they really, really want us to hate something about the show, so they keep finding little things to ruin the experience. All I can think is that they're trying to mess with us, but if that's the case, I think they may have bitten off more than they can chew. I dunno, maybe they'll blow us away with a twist that fixes everything, but I don't have high hopes in this regard. I may just have to divorce myself from Gram's storyline at this point if I want to be able to enjoy the rest of the show, and that's a damn shame.
