We promise this is the last serious one for a while. This week we're talking about a very important issue in media: queerbaiting. It sucks and we wish networks would stop doing it!

This is when a piece of media dangles a queer relationship that they have no intention of ever letting become cannon. Occasionally this will include outright mocking of the fans who ship these relationships. We primarily discuss Johnlock from BBC Sherlock and Supercorp from Supergirl and mention others like Sterek, Destiel, and SwanQueen.
