Did you feel included and accepted as a straight man? Did you socialize with the team? Did you have friends at school who were out?

In that example, as in "American Idol," it means a processed imitation of what the word used to mean(cheese, idol).

"Zero tolerance" policies were always intolerant by definition!

Wow! He was so good! I didn't notice it was him. Glad he can really act! He is a local hero much congratulated last year but as great as he was in that part it was so close to his life as a Homeboy Industries alumnus(Father Boyle's charity to provide jobs & guidance to gangbangers).

Pilot's "stray observations" are brilliant but I did feel that this episode had so much richer character work than the first few & played with the audience's conflicting sympathies so much more subtly than the first season or previous episodes of this season, building on both what we know & what we din't know until…

Yes, and then i could stop feeling guilty about the impulse to comfort Eric in all his suffering—brother, parents, teammates not being there for him, headmistress using him, etc. Where is his fast car friend? He doesn't even have a dog!

Though our current society through its laws agrees that if one person does not know their drink was spiked and they lost consciousness, they did not willingly participate in any physical contact that took place while they were impaired, unable to get up, woozy or unconscious.

Yes, very surprised Kevin's mother expected Val to alibi K after the way she dissed her & Kevin dropped her & took the bracelet back. Mom iwas presented until this week as a shrewd, calculating boss who controls everyone straight up out front(in contrast to the headmistress's honeyed manipulative approach).…

Yes, and when he stonewalled her, she pretty much told him he'd have to take the initiative & holler if he wanted any future help from her. No scheduled checkins or meetings. She seemed to care, but he was closed off to everyone at that point & seemed relieved to hear that with her workload it was up to him to ask for…

The principal is shown as smart and dedicated, but they haven't developed his or the community context to show why he is so blind to what the Latino kids experience in his school, has no diversity training to plan preventative ongoing communication with the students and parents, and doesn't see any parallels between…

Title says it all. His friends are all bros, not women, and he is fixated on hooking up so he can couple up. First season running joke was his BFF Eric Andre being irresistible to women, who ignore or reject Jay, so it's duende or cool or sex appeal it's premised he lacks(since JB is as unconventionally attractive as…

Maybe it's so universal it's invisible? But as a woman who never has been attracted to older men, especially not those "old enough to be my father," this relationship built on childish adoration form the woman(actually all the women who "would kill to be in your place," according to the equally smitten assistant) as…

Yes yes yes! Was this too slapstick a fantasy sequence for this show?

Good point re underlining what was already hysterically obviously satire of guy behavior. Seemed tho like they were mocking the feminist counterpoint as well. Since the supposedly hot girl was clearly not conceited & was perfectly willing to give a not hot guy a try, I even wondered if she had been as disappointed as…

Less colorful? Otherwise the sugar & carbs are probably about the same, no?

First you get a "ripped from the headlines" which either highlights an issue(The Good Wife) or exploits a fear(Law and Order( SUV, LifeTime movies) which can be quickly developed without consent. For the docudramas, buying sources & permissions from participants & those who wrote books on the events is one factor in…

Daniel Craig or Helen Mirren are more representative of who Hollywood producers have chosen to represent Jewishness in the past 30 years. And Jewish people who met the relatively narrow beauty standards of 20th century Hollywood could pass for white(otherwise they were cast as "ethnics".

What do you think now that you've seen it?

LA county 2014 had less than 1% american Indian, but sources I've seen did not break down national origin for any group further than Black or African-American, Hispanic, white non-Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander/Hawaiian. Voluntary organizations & employment statistics might have decent estimates. Easy to find by…

Wishes, not conclusions! Possibilities that the script and the performances both encouraged as mini -cliffhangers(hill-hangers?) that lesser show would resolve with a lumbering coming out for Trainer Josh or a drawn out misunderstanding plot. This show, like Darryl in that scene, is able to pause and enjoy the…
