The Bold Type 3x09-10: The Kadena Homecoming we've been waiting for
That Season 3 Finale was a Real Glow-up from Season 2. We were stunned, repeatedly, by the events that occurred in the last two episodes. Like WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW they really did that. They gave us all the shipper goodies with yet another QWOC love triangle. We are still REELING! So many build-ups, plot twists, and a well-layered cliffhanger to keep us itching for season 4! Your fave fangirls are debriefing all the details as usual!

The Bold Type 3x07-8: KADENA LIVES! (Poor Tia)

Charmed Season 1 Finale missed the mark with Melko
We finally got to watch what this first season of the Charmed reboot has been building up to...and we certainly have lots of feelings about it. We didn't get the Melko ending we were hoping for, but otherwise this series is definitely setting itself apart from the original. Tune in as we recap the last two episodes and give our overall reviews of the season!

The Bold Type 3x04-6: When straight girl f*ckery is actually queer angst
We thought we knew where things were going with Tia, then we didn't, then we did? Kat has got her work cut out for her, but she's come a long way since meeting Adena. While Amira and Aphrodykee might have different feelings about Kat and Tia's dynamic (do we have a ship name yet?), we are both thrilled to see a black QWOC ship explored on The Bold Type!

Fast and slow moving ships on The Bold Type 3x03 & Charmed 1x18
This week's episodes of The Bold Type and Charmed continued to keep our fave QWOCs front and center, but at very different paces. We've got lots of feelings about where Kat is headed in life, but not a lot of information! Who is this new girl she is definitely flirting with? Our girl ain't ready yet! And while Charmed is ramping up for their season finale, our Mel/Jada/Niko/Greta QWOC love triangle/quadrilateral(?) is slowly preparing for some kind of endgame, but how are they gonna get there? We're loving the mystery!

The Bold Type 3x02 Wild Susan and the lesbian bars we've lost
We have lots of sads thinking about the lesbian bars IRL that couldn't be saved, but we are thrilled to see Kat show up for the community. Our very own babydyke Kat organizes her first ever queer fundraiser, and she's damn good at it!

The Bold Type Season 3 Premiere Gave us Queer Heartbreak Feels

Charmed 1x17: There's a war brewing, and our ships are in it!
Things are heating up on Charmed! Melada faces some turmoil as the Sarcana prepare to take on the Elders, and Melko seems to still be in the (end)game! We're living for the build-up and loving all the QWOC ship coverage we're getting! Plus, Brooklyn 99 finally showed us Rosa's girlfriend, and if you're looking for a sweet soft slow burn, Juliantina is the ship for you!

Battle of the ships on Charmed 1x14: Melko vs. Melada
