Quite, if you like the heartwarming with a solid dose of worldbuilding. It manages to be both upbeat and still suitably deep, with lots of wonderful plot building and little details coming back later. The storyline alone is stunning and the animation gets quite good.

SHE'S LITERALLY BEEN AROUND SINCE DEWEY SETTLED IN BEACH CITY. PERIDOT SAID THAT SHE ONLY EMERGED FIVE HUNDRED YEARS LATE, SHE'S LIKE 4,000 YEARS OLD.

We've been over this before, pal. Actual Native American rights didn't happen until the 1900s, and for the most part only applied to people born in "America", which Amethyst was not because America didn't exist then. America does not work how you think it does and people don't have half the rights you think they

Plus the super gay wedding cake that they got. All those randomly strewn little figurines! They tried so hard.

I agree that the message was good, I just think it might be a little too close to home for young people who might be dealing with less sympathetic relatives come holiday time. It's hard to like Uncle Andy when your Uncle Andy is a couple gallons of awful worse and feels validated on by the preliminary election

Yeah… poor Sugar and co. didn't exactly know what they would be working with.

"Are you telling me Universe isn't a real name?!"

And if that wasn't before the time period of the show it would be a wonderful story to tell. The poor woman was by all accounts mislead into believing the writing was acceptable and then suffered the consequences of her editors' mistakes. As it is even a mention of that "betrayal" as a formative experience in

I love seeing Elizabeth finding her feet, and the fact that they poke fun at the British upper class in the process is delightful. "A good dressing down from Nanny," indeed. It's amazing to watch her figure out what her place is, and find the confidence to exert the little power she does have. Tearing into Winston and

Plus all the censorship of journalists, questionable deaths of political rivals, and the whole violent homophobia thing. Erdogan clearly took a few pages out of Putin's book when it came to silencing the opposition, so interested to see where Donald will take the trend.

Neil Gaiman's Death periodically spent a day as a human, living and dying in a human body to fully understand them. Full immersion experience, no memories. Extend that day to a year or so, and it's possible Ella doesn't actually know who she is, core instincts kicking in to steer her away from a bad hookup might

Nope, looks like they switched props.

Technical, but cute. We're building up to something, and this succeeded as a build-up episode. Not nearly as good as the last one though.

That one got dropped due to death threats, apparently! But we still have all those juicy sexual assault allegations the media now pretends they never heard about. God, the story gets worse every day.

There's also the whole history with slavery and using black bodies towards population counts while suppressing or denying black voting rights that continues to this day, the whole unequal distribution of voting power thing, winner takes all electoral assignment, not to mention how totally questionably constitutional

I'm always a sucker for messed up royal dramas, and a TV show is honestly the best format for the first family of dysfunction. I hope we get a really good casting, and since Marvel TV has so far been a little more diverse then Marvel Film maybe some acknowledgement that the Inhumans started out in the Himalayas, and

Apparently disqus decided not to work for me for a few days, which is probably for the best since I've been pretty much non-stop screaming over the election.

IIRC, King Henry wanted a annulment of his marriage with Catherine, ostensibly on the grounds that she had been married to his brother before him and the marriage was therefore illegal. The Pope refused to grant him one, so King Henry made a carbon copy of the Catholic Church (right down to the marriage laws, though

In between some crying over King George dying, mum felt the need to shout "Why is Matt Smith so naked in this!" when the aforementioned tush appeared again. Please, Matt, wear clothes, you're frightening the middle aged ladies.

And if Queen Elizabeth abdicated the throne would go to her four year old. She was essentially trapped. Sure, she could make overtures to abolish the monarchy but that could easily fail (since most of the MPs were lords or nobility at the time) and simply destabilize the institution without properly making
