Duh…..

Authorial intent….

I totally agree with you, I read it for a class in College, and it was very enlightening.

I think it has been, repeatedly, as well as the Sopranos.

GWTW the book is a polemical, advocating it's view of a victimized south. The Soprano's and BB were not even close to that.

"Would love to know how Hattie McDaniel would have replied to you."
Oh for god's sake! were you brought up in Nazi Germany or something? whether she would agree or disagree—-one black person does not speak for all minorities—-we are human beings not a herd of cows.

Well why don't you prove that everyone who has read the book consider it "escapist literature" as you so blithely (and dully) assert? Do you have proof for that? have you asked everyone who read the book? I read the book—you didn't ask me….what kind of a person are you to make such a baseless assertion supported by no…

I don't know, GWTW, the movie and book are cultural icons that spread the message that slavery was justified, lacks are racially inferior and the "Yankees" were the villains, instead of the slaveholders, and tratiors who started a war that killed nearly a million people, just so they could own black people. It is a…

I think there were a lot of womon in the 30's, in the south who were not racist…

Sorry…

That would be cool, "Platonic PI's" or "Grumpy and Sunny" PI's, "We'll figure it out eventually Investigations." With Miller as the business-minded responsible party, and Hardy as the loose gun go by the gut angsty, cynical, self-destructive but oh so lovable Scottie.

You might be right about Sharon's son, though I hope they don't. I didn't think they handled the Barristers well this season, I was bored/irritated by them, even though I adore Charlotte Rampling, I thought she was wasted here.

I don't know where you get happily ever after. Simply because the writers showed a scene of reunification and reconciliation (that brought a tear to my eye btw) doesn't mean that we are forced to assume that the rest is now heaven for the families. As far as the shunning and ostracism I think it would have been much…

I wonder if there won't be a story arc in season three about Joe coming back, or at least petitioning for visitation (maybe he will get the white defense attorney to do it…she seems to be a legal nihilist). His reaction to Millers threats didn't seem to indicate that he has given up and intends to just hide in a hole.…

That was a horrific scene, all the more so because he was always presented as such a gentle guy.

That's cool, except its mam…

Very true, unless it is the old "give 'em enough rope" strategy, but that definitely does not seem to be the case here. Like you said, I also think the cast makes this watchable, I just adore Charlotte Rampling, but I think it is a waste of a good actress to be set in such poorly written scenarios. The Actor who plays…

In England can they comment on the Defendant's failure to testify like that?

Hey evil Lincoln is called "Evil" Lincoln for a reason ya know…

True, about three quarters of her spiels are not questions, they are arguments, she is testifying not enquiring…the objection is: Argumentative. Also the relevance of a lot of her questions seems to be of doubtful merit. I understand the shows constraints, but I would hope that such an excellent show in other respects…
