Isn’t that what we want from this show? Fan service?

Not if it feels disingenuous, like they’re trying to force feed me a random tidbit in the hope it’ll placate me for a while, no. When that happens, it actually kinda feels like they’re insulting me.

I mentioned that we got a shot of Graham’s bootlace and how it felt like baiting. I actually love that Emma wears Graham’s bootlace, I think it’s a really sweet gesture, and I love it because it’s a consistent thing for her character that’s just always there. But its placement in this particular episode just felt like fanservice, given the way this ep as a whole felt like throwing bones to Emma’s various ships.
