He could possibly be the opposite? Some Native American tribes kidnapped and adopted children and women, a practice with the expectation that the adoptees would be treated well. Since the settlers were hugely against race mixing and the Natives were horrified to realize their people couldn't expect hospitable

Okay, Hannibal.

A man wishes to marry his cousin, this is natural! Yet, think of the realm. God, the cousins I could have - but no.

I watched Sailor Moon religiously, which my mom let slide because she preferred it to Pokemon and Digimon (which I binged anyway). I also remember watching some Vision of Escaflowne and being severely confused and occasionally traumatized.

I will kill someone if Alana dies.

With Will, Alana, Jack, and Abigail watching smugly as what's left of Hannibal gets eaten by gators.

I spent basically the entire time alternately screaming incoherently at the television or lying paralyzed in horror. I swear this show is giving me a heart condition.

What I mean is that there isn't mainstream media about these things the way there is for other events in history. You don't get big blockbuster movies or miniseries about, say, the LA riots. But thank you for your information!

That's awesome, thanks!

Race issues in Japan are extremely different from race issues in the States. I'm not equating anything, my concerns are with the society I live in and the way it treats its minorities.

Oh dude, the cultural divide was HUGE. They simply operated on a completely different mindset than Western forces did. I guess it's more that, after watching The Pacific I can't help but inevitably turn my thoughts toward the Japanese Internment Camps and all the horrible shit Asian-Americans had to deal with for

Fair warning, The Pacific has a very different vibe from BoB. It's much more about personal horror and the fight to claw onto one's humanity.
(It's also got some issues with Othering the Japanese which I guess makes sense considering the source material, but it gives me a weird taste sometimes considering our country's

That scene in Day of Days when Buck hits the German with the grenade? In real life he got him IN THE HEAD.

That would be Spina! I adore the little we got of him, all mouthy and bitter about being in a supporting role. It would have been great to see more of him.

So this has been kind of bothering me. Some of the team (especially Skye) keep referring to Ward as a murderer, but haven't they all contributed to deaths? May, Coulson, and Triplett most certainly have and Fitzsimmons' technology is likely weaponized for combat. I mean, Ward still operated under SHIELD's orders so a

Buck staring blankly at the screen and lingering behind while everyone walks away hurts me deep.

I'm really upset about Beverly. She's one of the few Asian women - who was not objectified by the characters or the audience - I could look forward to seeing on my screen and now she's gone. The way Fuller's laughing about them finding her doesn't make me feel any better.
