I don't but then I don't like cliched stuff. I mean sure the first seme was a bit cliched in that respect (oh, did you miss that part because it was more subtle?) too but there was far more to that story than just manipulation and deception on the seme's part.
IDK why but I really like manipulative semes. (Someone I like.) I liked this 2nd season better because of Raphael/Gabriel, the Uke is also better. :)
