White dude: “I think—”

My point was that the actress isn’t half white and my suspicion is that the producers felt some subconsious compulsion to “Europeanize” the character so as to make her more “acceptable” to mainstream audiences. I contend that is, at best, unnecessary and, at worst, offensive. That she appears so obviously 100% Indian…

I respect that and you’re no doubt aware Catholicism didn’t start in India nor were any native born Indians born with English surnames before 1858. Now maybe Chopra’s character’s biracial roots will give the writers the opportunity to comment on colonialism and racial identity more than superficially but I’m not…

My point exactly. Why does she have to be half white to be validated as the protagonist? I know POC can look some type of way but no way in hell this character’s parents are anything but 100% Desi. Why she going to be 100% Indian but play a biracial character? Not “how”, “why”?

I get that she was probably originally written as white and male but she’s not. The character wasn’t cast white. The character’s parents aren’t from the East Midlands. Why is her name Alex Parrish tho? Alex Gopath? Alex Shankar? Alex Ghosh? Alex Mitra? If she has a “funny sounding” name we get that she’s still the…

She’s a fine actress but I don’t know what world I’m supposed to believe someone would pay to have sex with her. I mean I’d date her if I could but I wouldn’t pay to have sex with her.

Flo Rida. Because of course it is.

Adults with toddler haircuts are a net loss, generally.

Accurate critique is accurate.

Ooh! Ooh! Uh, an adolescent male fantasy? Uhh, a 30 y/o TV execs idea of sexual empowerment? A hacky “high concept” that will be poorly executed at the network level?

She looks like a Greek sculpture. It’s super hard to be a billion feet tall and look hot but she does it here, Goddess bless her badass self.

Should have been Wonder Woman. Plays Sif on Marvel’s Agents of Shield of Orange County.

Wait, she’s marrying herself?

He’s Elway’s boy. Shouldn’t HE know better at least?

I tuned into this on a lark and in 15 sec I said to my fiancee, “She’s drunk, right?”

I laughed more watching :30sec clips of Playing House on Youtube than any half hour episode of BBT, 2 1/2 M, basically any network sitcom I forced myself to sit through.

The simplest thing in the world to do is not lie. Is it easy? Not always but being an adult is not a trip to the day spa. I think anyone can lie about where they were on a given night or what they got on the Verbal section of their SAT but you can’t pretend you’re some kind of hero who barely survived a horrific…

“Well, actually, miss...”

So the plot is about a black alien running around impregnanting all the, apparantly, white and/or light skinned women he can while the authorities chase him? Hard pass.
