5,000 words of 'Attached' meta.
Does what it says on the tin!
Those of you who know me, like, at all know that nothing drives me crazier than a superfluous or poorly-executed romance plot, that I have a high bar for romance plots, that I cannot stand manipulative will-they-or-won't-they leading man/leading lady scenarios, that in general I think Star Trek is the absolute worst at romance, and that I'm just not huge on heteroromanticism in general. Given these things, my full-throated endorsement of 'Attached' should be testimonial enough. And yet, I wrote several thousand words about it anyway. Because it's so long, I have bolded key points, if you just want to read for the tl;dr.

"I was beginning to feel like you were part of my uniform."
So I tripped over something and accidentally rewatched 'Attached' and now I don't even know how to be.
