As a straight woman, I was always completely baffled by people insisting to me that he's attractive. Of course, I also just determined that the reason my friend liked Jupiter Ascending and I didn't is because she found Channing Tatum attractive and I didn't, so…maybe I have weird tastes, I dunno.

Yeah, it seems like their reference for how kids like hip-hop is "white suburban kids who are drawn to the misogynistic elements", so they're playing up that angle.

Did they actually get hitched? The day I stopped watching Kim Possible was the day I saw an ad about Kim and Ron getting together — the idea of turning their friend-chemistry into romance just upset me so much. But now I am filled with a morbid curiosity about it.

I think it's been a lot more consistent in the past than over the past few episodes. Or maybe the payoffs were just better, I dunno.

Also, what is he going to do now that Mindy's just abandoned him for the other coast? Because I feel like he's going to go back to dealing drugs just to have John Cho validate him (which, fair enough, there's a lot of things I'd do to have John Cho validate me too).

Her brother just hasn't been paying his rent, but she cosigned his lease as a guarantor, so it shows up on her credit as well.

The problem isn't that it takes on family issues independent of race, but that it does so in a weirdly regressive way. There was an episode where Rainbow wanted Dre to do things around the house, because she is a DOCTOR and doesn't have time to do everything, and the resolution was…she decided she really liked doing…

Beyond the political commentary, I think this show has had a huge problem with set design, lighting, makeup and costumes. When it first started, I wanted there to be black characters not because of diversity, but because I couldn't tell any of the white non-Enver Gjokaj male SSR agents apart. The darkness and the…

Yes, yes it does! The pilot had its flaws, but I'm the most excited about it out of all of the new Amazon series.

Yeah, I found myself thinking that as well — the first two episodes touched on ethnicity a bit more, but these past two were kind of generic "outsiders in the '90s" plots.

I strongly agree that this is a shark-jumping plot twist. Maybe the writers will pull this one out, but based on this episode, I don't think they have the same plan that they had for Mindy and Danny being together. I was also disappointed because of the rest of the episode — the plotlines featuring Danny's mom and…

Yeah, I'm kind of suspecting that this development might be to this show what Nick and Jess were to New Girl. TMP did such a great job with Mindy and Danny, but this episode was handled with far less panache than the season 2 finale.

I'm not really into Chris Evans as Captain America (though I do like his look in Snowpiercer and as himself), but, otherwise I 100% agree that all the guys you listed are much more attractive than Channing Tatum. I tend to think a lot of Hollywood leading men are pretty unattractive, though. As usual, there's no…

For me (and, admittedly, I am the kind of nerd who loves learning about different administrative systems) the part of the movie dealing with paperwork and tax codes was actually the best. It was the closest it got to actually being original rather than a collection of cliches in between teal and orange shots.

I think the lack of accent while singing isn't necessarily Wu's accent going in and out — there are a lot of people for whom it's a lot easier to sing in a specific accent than speak in it, so that might be the case for Jessica.

One thing that was always really weird to me in these books is just how much inherent magical power is valued in Wizarding society. For example, one way that Rowling shows that people were amazed by Dumbledore in his youth is that they all assumed he would be Minister of Magic. But why? Minister of Magic presumably…

I mean, yes, it's true that the main cast could stand to be much more diverse. But I don't think she's at all adding "fake" diversity here. When I read the books as a kid, I was like "Oh, cool, there's an Asian and some Indians and a black guy and a nerdy girl and hey, they are all pretty reasonable people who fit in…

I think she would "retcon" the Patil sisters as Indians, in the same way she "retconned" Goldstein, i.e. it is pretty obvious if you look at the names.

I think it's definitely a spectrum. Or, to take a slightly different angle: I've met a lot of guys who seem to generally start explaining when the other person pauses or looks unsure, both for men and women — but women happen to pause or look unsure more than men, and are more likely to let the guy continue talking…

To be fair, that second one is arguably T&O, just very subdued.
