Having had is does not preclude one from gettiing it again so there is ZERO reason to assume that she can’t be the source because of that.

Notorious RBG said honor my last wishes, do not fill this seat until after the election. You see what happens when you ignore the wishes of the dead. Like in The Color Purple,

The way they did the portals into different worlds/dimensions was cool.

I don’t think Diana’s an orphan either. I fully expect Tic to return to Chicago to find Hippolyta at home eating dinner with Diana (and hopefully George). 

So Christina’s father didn’t teach her magic. He didn’t even know she knew any. This explains why she was acting so cagey whenever he was looking. Or why she never saw shoggoth born before. It also means he didn’t know about William not being William and that his daughter was absent when William was around. He…

This was another side of racism and sexism slowly destroying black woman’s spirit. We saw a version of it with Ruby and her finding a way to stop being interrupted through magic. Hippolyta found a way to stop being small and reach her full potential. She got to dance with Josephine Baker. Learn to fight from…

I enjoy the write-up and the comments as much as I do the show itself! I feel like I am back in school working on my history degree again and I love it.

I think treatment of the nurse and of Yahima as essentially NPCs (to use your framing) is intentional. We are meant to see how horrific these acts were, and how disposably these lives were treated.

And in this episode, while it was wartime, Tic’s actions are a burden he carries and speaks on. I would think the nurse’s…

Oh, I really hope your theory about Ji-Ah comes true...I would love it! Maybe to Lancaster???

This episode was visually so beautiful. Ji-Ah’s house with the wooden doors- Wow! What a set.

Thank you for the reminder! I need to go back and catch up on The Terror. I wanted to wait and binge the second season.

I was hoping to discuss the differences in the ways that Tic and Leti lost their virginity and the differences between Tic’s relationships with both women. And boy oh boy could there be a deep discussion about Black Relationships afte watching this episode.

I never thought that watching 4 seasons of Kim’s Convenience would be put to use anywhere but here we are. I know what Umma meant right away, knew what those damn Japanese did in 1910 and when the Koreans gained independence from them (August 15, 1945), thanks Appa!

Paulson’s legit been around forever, and she’s a Murphy loyal, I wouldn’t be too worried about her.

I think the intent of the movie was to depict Ratchet as using her role and the putatively beneficial nature of her treatments to maintain her own power/control over a captive population and inflict pain either in retaliation for some challenge to that power or just for the hell of it.

if she was ONLY evil Fletcher wouldn’t have won the Oscar

They need to hand Michelle the Emmy for best actress in a limited series.

Agreed! I’m here pretty much exclusively for the actors and have very little interest in the show’s subject matter, but I admire how well-crafted it is.

They need to hand her ALL the awards. Even a freakin’ Oscar; she’s just that good.
