Majority of the country supports abortion access:
To be extremely fucking clear: Alito and the conservative arm of the Supreme Court want to ended legal abortion in America.
It starts with Roe and Casey. They’ll return abortion to the states and create a patchwork quilt of laws that will result in chaos and a body count of desperate women who will be forced to turn to back-alley providers. The next time they have power, they’ll push for national abortion bans, or bans at 6 weeks or 15…
“... return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” That’s pretty rich coming from a Supreme Court justice.
I’m actually shocked they stop at six weeks, for one.
Fuck anyone who said “Hillary and Trump are the same” in 2016. Fucking nightmare.
I love Bill Murray’s work, so it was a huge disappointment to hear he has a lengthy track history of this type of behavior. Such a “never meet your heroes” situation. Sounds like he got too jaded with how he used to be able to ride the better side of the line between charming-cheeky and straight up asshole.
I’m just going to pretend that the penultimate episode was the series finale. Eventually, I’ll convince myself of it.
I need need need need need her to play Xena. She looks identical to Lucy Lawless. She knows how to fight. Despite being American her voice somehow already sounds like a Kiwi putting on an American accent. Give her the keys!
And then consider the whole thing happened because they sorely underestimated how pissed fans would be at Arrow blithely killing off one of the extremely few bisexual characters on all TV at the time (remember that this was even before Clarke and Lexa hooked up).
Plus, they’re cancelling Spooner, that incredible rarity, an openly asexual main-cast character.
Deadline reported a week or so back that the decision was likely out of the hands of the current CW boss (who was noted to have loved the show and always supported it). The cw’s imminent sale, as well as Warner brothers having a new corporate owner apparently took a lot of these renewal decisions out of the hands of…
At least they had that penultimate goodbye episode but then kinda screwed it by having a plot heavy cliffhanger finale.
I’m reasonably sure CW didn’t intend for these two particular cancellations on the same day to give a vibe of “we hate queer superheroes,” but you’d think someone at the network would think through how easily that could be read into it.
THATS ALL I WANT! WHY CANT WE HAVE THIS
It was nice to have a show that was simply FUN and light. In an era where traditional scripted TV, and esp. superhero shows, are trying to hang on by going darker and grimmer, LoT S2 onward was just a refreshing tonic of a good time.
Well god fucking dammit that is some dumb ass bullshit.
If you would’ve told me at the midway point of season one that this show would’ve gotten seven seasons and got zanier and zanier as the seasons progressed, I’d have laughed you out of the arena.
Shame they couldn’t have gotten one last shortened season to wrap everything up. Especially after last season’s finale.
