Fresh Snark: Spreading Some Love (and Hate) on Polyamory: Married & Dating’s Episode 6

August 20, 2012 By
Jen is literally the only reason watching scenes with the quad is bearable. Maybe because her reaction is in tune with the reaction of the audience so often.

With a large mug of coffee and plenty of coughing and sniffling, I steeled myself to watch episode 6 of Showtime's Polyamory: Married & Dating.

Pagan Spirit Gathering registration closes this evening, so if you're still wanting to attend you still can. Note that you can opt to just come for the last weekend.

I will be there hanging out with bloggers, podcasters and journalists. Feel free to stop by Media Camp and say hi! I'll be the one with the pink hair. Patrick McCollum has given a statement … [Read more...]
