Uh…calmate, por favor. I haven't deleted anything. Post whatever you want. Here's my issue: "It's really sad when we see what might be a character's simple empathy for a fellow tortured soul in purely racial terms." Oh really, though? Is it sad? You're not only saying "I disagree with your point and here's why."…

How does the presence of other black characters invalidate the use of a trope with this particular black character?

Yawn at your knee-jerk discomfort with any discussions of how race is portrayed in media.

Thanks for the feedback. In the future I'll do my level best to discuss the episode from your perspective rather than my own.

I'm not sure you understood the comparison. Everyone who thinks "hip hop Glee" is an outright insult is forgetting how widely watched and critically well-regarded Glee was in its first season and roughly half of its second. Glee was fantastic at first. The initial success of both shows was due to the novelty of the…

Allow me to toss out another interpretation: We have different opinions that are equally valid and sincerely held.

LOL That kinda hurt your feelings, huh? For the record, I'm bald, so it's kind of a moot point.

I don't think it's sexist to point out Carrie's pattern of exclusively having sex with men she works with or in order to build trust or gain an advantage in dealing with an asset. She tried to seduce Saul of all people in the pilot when he discovered her illegal, unsanctioned wiretap on Brody's home. More recently,…

So you think this is a show where everything is meant to be taken at face value? There was something very karmic about the stuff with the pie. John took it to the neighbors thinking it might be poisoned only to find it back on his own table, and that mirrors the burden the rest of the world suffered in the Sudden…

It was introduced as a question in the pilot and Liam agreed to look into it, then he confirmed it this week.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I think that's actually the show Cidre had in mind. The pilot is half soap, half pastoral, but based on the trade reports and the promos (which aren't tonally like the pilot at all), ABC wanted to go full soap. It's a shame, because I do think there's an interesting show in here.

Fascinating! Thank you. I know a ton of girls who have gone natural and I've never heard anyone use that terminology. On the other hand, I also don't care all that much so it's perfectly possible that I have heard it but wasn't paying attention.

This sounds right to me, but I think what's still tripping me up is that Angela continues to say she wants to see Tommy go to prison "for the rest of his life." Considering Rolla's murder isn't an official part of the investigation, I'm not totally clear on the passion behind Angela's bloodlust. Her superiors have…

You're right about Shawn, he wasn't long for this world, and this was a really interesting way to eliminate him. I'm glad you brought up the point about Ghost staying one step ahead of his antagonists because it reminds me about something I forgot to mention in the review. I wish the script had flicked a little more…

I liked the performance quite a bit. 50 has his moments.

I think they'll wrap up Stern next week in light of Kantos' trashed office. But I hope it's a soft ending. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing Stern would back down from.

Definitely do that. He actually covered "For Love I Come" on his first record, and it's amazing.

I'm fascinated by all the Lobos love! Enrique Murciano is having a blast, that's for sure. "Can I have a Shirley Temple?"

Thank you for your thoughtful comments throughout the season! The Power commentariat is a triumph of quality over quantity. Not as many people comment here as I'd like, but those who do are genuinely passionate about the show, and more than that, they know how to respectfully disagree about a television show. Keep…
