Rob, is there some confusion as to my gender here? I'm XX, not XY ....
I should apologize for my snark. That *particular* item is a huge hot button for me. There's a biiiiiiiiggggg difference between honest communication of emotion and whining; it all depends on the delivery (and attendant expectations). Just about everything else on your list, I agree with. And your description of the Queens followed by hagridden drones ..... I've seen it too, and I think it sucks.
