They finally got the hair & the accents right, but to give more publicity to this overexposed candidate and put him up front to gently allude to his trophy wive(s) was worse than boring in a week of terrorism/mass shootings when many folks tuned in to see Ryan Gosling! He certainly could have held his own in any…

Did you think it was funny the last time you watched it(in the 70s)? Did it have less or different political humor then? The two I saw this year on the reruns at 10 pm were heavy on the drug references but since it was coke I think they might have been the 80s, when Nancy Reagan and the officers who came to school…

and on and on and on. Just the same thing over & over & not in the least original. Amy Schumer has nails that character while actually delivering satire, jokes, pathos and/or plot in her show sketches & writing good characters for her foils. She tends to connect her character to "something we've all done or almost…

Yes watching him deliver his lines flawlessly in character off the page after that was like cheering for a stutterer who doesn't stutter when he sings: "Good job, Ryan!".

She pleaded for pity and her life based on those circumstances. He slowly and carefully and deliberately literally physically held her underwater until she was completely dead. As is typical for this not so bright and very credulous character, he is doing what someone told him to do, so he his doing what he "has" to…

Yes, almost as cringeworthy as his taunts during challenges.

Could that spot-on Irish accent be a clue to her character's backstory?

No, killed her. He held her down in the water while she struggled in her death throes. So if this really was an afterlife, it would have had to be the portion run by Satan.

"Magical Negro" is a clever shorthand for a very widespread phenomenon in major motion pictures until not that long ago. the story was always about the problems of a white lead character and their journey/point of view. The "MN" could be quirky, weird, gruff or menacing, but was only there to further the life journey…

Or a typecasting/stereotyping

And just now started reading the "Newest" comments.

Thanks! I gave up after the first 40 or so "Oldest"comments, which seemed to riff off JA's "into the Mystic"/Lost interpretation.

Josjua, since this episode works pretty well as Kevin's psychotic break experience, I was hoping the reductionist/racist versions of Virgil & Michael were in Kevin's own stereotyping head. Sadly the promo suggests Michael really was there & did that , tho maybe not with faith in his Grandpa's plan.

Yes, for all the hatewatchers who were getting #SGD watching Stephen suffer & whine even before his stomach cramped.

They may have thought it Stephen's advantage must be very powerful, because he can barely walk & is otherwise a marked man, so it might have helped them to see him as a bigger/more immediate threat: get rid of him before he uses the advantage further to win allies—-which of course is what he tried & failed to do with…

Tho of course there ARE gay men who are not condescending, don't ignore babies and have empathy for nursing mothers!

Trusting and assuming the best about his sister WAS one of several signs of growing maturity for Rafael! Hope writers build on this. But while he didn't blame Jane either, should we? Yes she was desperate to be accepted by her classmates, but why? Grad students in every field can be very competitive and many folks are…

So meta! For years Univision was owned & run by an american of Italian descent. Don't know about now, but isn't Telemundo part of NBC or something?

"Nobody believes advertising works on them." What a great quote! So so true.

Ar first, wasn't it a "sport" for those who didn't want to sit around watching football all night, exercise after a big meal, a chance to get out of the house & away from too much time with less favorite relatives, and even one of those commercially manipulative 20th century "family traditions," like the Macy's…
