Thirst Aid Kit: Maximum UST
Maddie and David. Will and Alicia. Ichabod and Abbie. Brennan and Booth. Moonlighting, The Good Wife, Sleepy Hollow, and Bones all showed us the magic of UST-- unresolved sexual tension. In most of these examples, we got the kissing (and more) we\u2019d been craving, and these television shows knew how to string us along until we thought we\u2019d die from longing. That\u2019s the hallmark of a job well done-- transferring the desire of a show\u2019s leading couple to its audiences. In this episode dedicated to ultimate UST, we talk about what works and what doesn\u2019t; what happens when the resolution is everything we could want\u2026 and when we\u2019re denied.\xa0\nSlate Plus members get a bonus segment on Thirst Aid Kit each week.\xa0Sign up now\xa0to listen and support our show.\nIn this week\u2019s Slate Plus, it\u2019s Nichole\u2019s turn in the court of \u2018Explain Yourself\u2019.
