The phrasing in the casting call really doesn't make any sense in this regard. From my standpoint (as a WoC with 4c hair that isn't relaxed), it seems a little contradictory. 'Natural' typically means what you're assuming-hair that isn't chemically straightened. Natural hair types that have 'long' hair (google someone…

This is fantastic! As a person who loves sports dearly (unless it's football, which I detest) but is also wary of mindless fandom, I really like that the song can be taken either way.

I'm really hoping that they post each new video as it comes out, but I'm not looking forward to more days of 'BUT I DON'T EVEN OWN A TV' from people.

I'll admit it, I giggled. Mostly at Lars trying to cover up the baldness (we saw you at Glastonbury, dude) with a knit hat, but still.

I'd agree that rock climbing seems like the best skill set to have, given the balance of agility and strength you need. You also need excellent grip strength and a solid core, as well as muscle endurance. Parkour seems to require a fair amount of upper body strength and agility, but there isn't a lot of sustaining…

I miss the diversity of contestants that Sasuke had. In one 5 minute section of the show you'd have a dude dressed like Superman, a 13 year old kid, a housewife, an Olympic athlete and one of the Japanese All Stars. It was fun. I also loved the announcer heckling everyone.

Maybe posting in 'What's on Tonight' will help? It does seem like there should be more folks here, and that there were more last season. :(

Thanks! There's nothing boring about your post. :)

This is a lovely observation. I noticed this particularly in the short scene between one of Daniel's assailans and his mother. Every word in their conversation seemed fraught with subtext.

I'm a Buddhist but was raised Christian, and I have many family members who are very religious. Even though we disagree on some things, I have tremendous respect for their faith and I appreciate the mostly positive ways it influences their life decisions. They are kind and helpful, and look to religion for solace and…

I had close-captioning up for this episode-can someone correct me here? During the scene with Daniel and the 'therapist' inmate where he recounts assaulting Daniel, the close-captioning said (audio out) towards the end of the sequence, where it looked as though he was screaming. I took this as a deliberate choice, to…

The Daniel-Kerwin friendship is absolutely incredible. I'm starting to reach 'Friday Night Lights' levels of crying while watching these episodes.

Gosh I thought I'd see more people here!

I haven't really processed the awesomeness of this episode, but I do have one point of confusion that I thought might be cleared up this week but wasn't, unless I missed it-

This guy says that Molly is 'arrogant or condescending' every. single. week. Look at his commenting history. It's not worth arguing.

I specifically looked his name up. And they look nothing alike.

Oh Disqus.

How in the world would you know if you like them personally? Have you met them? Talked to them?

Cool! Aren't you a fellow humanities person?

Pretty much. There was already discussion about this last week.
