I agree with you, and love the articulate way you have expressed this. I do loved cockblocked by beans, that scene pissed me off as well. I don't understand why we got more affection in S2 between them than in the series where they kept saying the relationship was going to be really important. Yet there was nothing. Really, nothing. Bomb in my belly short desperate kiss, but that was it, and surely they aren't sick enough to think that the death is a tender moment developing the relationship? Well, perhaps they are that sick.

As for James Moran, well that is just stupid. Surely he knows better than this? There are mentally unstable people on the internet, why cosy up to them all in the first place? That is why we have professional boundaries, let them think that they are your friends, and it will come back to bite you. He could have just ignored the mental ones, had their posts deleted or whatever, but that pompous business about being a professional writer and the defensiveness about the death. Well you know, I didn't need a rocket science degree to figure out that you were a writer for God's sake. I think there is no excuse for aggression and threats, but then they will be people with some issues about gripping reality, that behaviour isn't normal, not ever.
