To you and Jigga, this is regarding the burn pit.

Also, couldn't the lawsuit in theory still have continued even if he was dead? It would just be awarded to his estate, right?

Why is it ridiculous? They have tons of motive to implicate Avery to end the lawsuit. It only takes one person here to kill her and plant this evidence and solve the problem for an entire department and county, all without directly bringing anyone else into the new crime. BUT it creates incredible incentive for all

This series was released with little to no fanfare, right? Where's the marketing push here?

The biggest issue with this case is since nobody else was even considered a suspect, we have essentially no information on the circumstances around the victim.

Your motive makes A LOT of assumptions on his character, and requires ignoring the phone calls he made to his girlfriend that exact night (which have him professing his love), let alone the absence of (verified) such behavior in his past.

I mean, if you had only read transcripts of select portions of his "confession" it's not hard to take them at face value. Especially when this is arguably an answer to a question that you need for closure in heightened grief. And you're being told from all angles that these two are already guilty…

This was probably the most painful to watch two hours of anything I have ever seen. Absolutely gut-wrenching. The amount of video evidence that displays police manipulation in these interrogations is simply shocking. And yet that's not enough? What the hell is going on in our world.

It's just clear that this should have been a 10 episode season. The effects of dragging everything out results in forced drama that severely knocks the show down.

Oh boy, do not even get me started on the amazing collection of music Simple Minds has pre-Breakfast Club. Hell, even a little post that too! In many ways, Spandau Ballet suffers from the same issues Modern English did in the greater pop culture sphere.

Posted this on the binge review, but would appreciate others' feedback too.

Man what a sloppy episode. Let's talk about things that happen here (some end of season spoilers)

Couldn't we say that "suffering under the patriarchy" exists to varying degrees? It's not something that's binary in its effect. So of course it affects Josh in a different way than say Leslie.

I need to give that process a try with my media and arts consumption. Stop immediately at gut reactions. No follow through. No introspection. Pure knee-jerk reactions.

Yes, it was uncomfortable. But it was also uncomfortable in the best ways. The joke works in many ways, by attacking the habit of whitewashing in the media, and by not actually making the native american family or heritage the butt of any truly demeaning jokes.

Which is exactly the point. Did people not finish the series? You know, since it ends with her reclaiming her real heritage and realizing her mistakes for shunning it to begin with? Thus, there being no jokes at the expense of Native Americans…

She, just like Tina and Maya, have lost a good amount of baby weight from all of their respective recent pregnancies.

Wu-ter. That's really how they say it in Philly/south Jersey.

As an isolated scene, the pickup attempt with the lawyer at the restaurant bar was simply great. Yes, uncomfortable, but so so well done.

Hell yes. Everyone should do themselves a favor and listen to To Cut a Long Story Short, Paint Me Down, Chant No 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On), Musclebound. Find those 12" mixes.

In retrospect, Uh Huh Her lays much of the foundation for the albums that succeeded it. I see it as more of the turning point album than Stories from the City.
