McGuire: yeah, everyone has their preferences. I recently started a book where the author's prose was correct, but I hated her word choices so much that I couldn't keep going. (It was one of those free romance novels that are sometimes on offer on Amazon.)

Like a lot of younger authors, McGuire started by writing fanfic. I wonder if there's an echo of that in the dialogue of hers that you don't enjoy?

Hopper/Joyce gets worse?! Oh bleeeeeeaaaaah. I'll have to multi-task during their scenes. I was already doing that just to get through their scenes in those first three episodes.

I am having fun with Steve & Co, including Robin in whatever capacity, so hopefully "doesn't go the way you think" will continue with the fun. Or at least not derail it.
