Yes, and only Ethan had a kid available for the project/school. The rest of them haven't had any children. Justin Kirk was channeled into a useless non productive real estate job but not encouraged to father any kids. Neither were CArla G & her husband. the others selected are beyond childbearing age when we meet…

tho any end of civilization/twisted experiment change in the whole ecosystem so that they were the last of their kind would be more awful than Ethan, with his limited imagination, has been able to imagine. It took him forever to figure out he couldn't call outside the town, and he still has no theories as to why other…

Tho I kind of enjoyed the fact that his wife is so oblivious to him speeding along, because he's got the kids all ready for school, etc.

This was on another forgettable show in the past week, wasn't it?—-a government website where the password was someone's birthday? Oh yeah, the Secret Service agent Matt Dillon played on Wayward Pines used his son's birthday as his password to the SS website so his wife guessed it & hacked it. What does this tell us…

It really was just mean & rude & middleschoolish . Shame on the producers/editors for showing it without any reaction/discussion by anyone else on the show when they editorialize constantly through their editing to influence audience reaction.

Wish that would have been broadcast in US!

Especially since their stereotyping in past seasons has been to present some pretty versatile black dancers as if they had no training/background in other styles and/or be shocked/surprised when they did fine in choreography or partnering. Comfort & Jasmine for example could do it all but got framed as "street" back…

Yes, getting rid of Nigel would have done so much more to make the show attractive to kids, millenials, women of all ages…..who does he appeal to, anyhow? And wouldn't Paula's fans be mostly over 50?

Yes, & that's why even those who can"pass" agonize. Remember how Travis Wall spoke in his reality show about the torture of coming out even after all his success as a dancer—and growing up in a dance studio!

You are too kind. He is a ratings & celebrity whore & kisses up to gay and straight celebrities in hopes their popularity will rub off on him and the show. And for young struggling dancers who may very well be crushed & discouraged if they don't act butch enough on & offstage, he confirms and underlines and encourages…

His contemps are always a relief because they don't seem as paint by numbers as the Broadway routines.

So true, and i love the way you incorporated one of his winceworthy catchphrases. "You did just what was asked of you" though you left out "the pair of you."

What a painful memory, which i had successfully repressed! They should have Billy back to choreograph & dance a range of themes.

No, he is leading with his own prejudices. He's leering over young blond girls & salivating over porny performances for years coupled with his condescending backhanded crumbs of awkward limited praise for rather versatile street dancers who didn't have years of classical training and any men who didn't have major…

Swear i read this after i posted & you wore it (wrote it)better!

I just pictured them dressed up in apple & orange costumes ala 2nd grade play when i read that, because i took literally literally. The animators were the most neutralized by being covered neck to hip.

Thanks—-fascinating tho that all the second hand impressions I've seen were so similar to what DD is doing—maybe just the "all business" cop stereotype?

Thanks, wondered about that too cause it was so subtle compared to the Gordon scenes. Strange tho if that Gordon could have had multiple breakdowns w/o drugs & manage to remain functional on longterm cocaine use. Sure plenty of folks did in the 8s, as well as those who used to maximize their weekends rather than…

Now I'm confused about his breakdowns in the past. Were they supposed to be understood as drug-related? Were there clues less heavy-handed than in this episode about his drug use that I missed last season? & If not, are we supposed to believe that such a mentally fragile guy thrived/functioned well for the whole year…

May have to watch this to see if they do show the Black Panthers at be-ins AND the school breakfast program as well as the community reaction to them & NOI. Would have loved to see a series about the journey of the NOI activist—-how/why he was sent to prison, converted to Islam, & whether he returns to the…
