Hallucination!Simmons comments on how hot Mack is, and Fitz tells her to stop that, because she's a part of his subconscious. I don't remember exactly which episode it's in, though.SunshineDukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667381915739896778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-48721477659846625862015-05-20T22:56:16.658-07:002015-05-20T22:56:16.658-07:00I don't have anything good to add, just wanted...I don't have anything good to add, just wanted to say I was VERY FRUSTRATED that Wesley died before we really got to learn very much about him! I had been really hoping we might find out why he was so devoted to Fisk. Maybe we can still get more of his backstory, like via flashbacks, but it won't be the same as if he were still actually in the story.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860246538349067232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-14447533610750663212015-05-20T15:32:40.968-07:002015-05-20T15:32:40.968-07:00Is it mentioned on screen?!

Like, Fitz's attraction to Mack is explicitly spelled out and acknowledged canonically onscreen. That's a huge deal! But then it's NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN and it NEVER GOES ANYWHERE. They've also carefully managed to dodge ever using gendered pronouns when referring to Mack's past love life. I personally continue to hold out hope that Fitz and Mack will wind up together in season three, but then, I'm an eternally stubborn optimist.SunshineDukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667381915739896778noreply@blogger.com
