Watching Star Trek for the first time (again)

[fireproof78]

The number of fans who wanted heroes like Rey from Star Wars or Liv from Izombie to get together with mass murderers like Kylo Ren or Blaine was truly baffling (seriously: Blaine kidnapped and dismembered teens). I also remember a Youtube reactor seeming like she needed a cigarette after every Neegan appearance...

Baffling, perhaps. But very human. Probably because we want to find good in something, that someone can't be all bad. Or they are drawn to people who are bad because they are free in way that the viewer is not.
