Disney and Marvel will sell tickets, bankability doesn't seem to be the director's issue here either. Tilda Swinton is a great actress but she's hardly the thing that will put asses in seats when it comes to a comic book blockbuster. Besides, aren't a few names in the cast anyway? Both Cumberbatch and McAdams seem…

Now you're just implying that no Asian actor could have possibly been cast based on their talent. I'm mostly understanding of the director's predicament, but that predicament clearly wasn't "no Asian actors were talented enough for the part."

Oscar Issac is Latino. Otherwise good points.

I feel like if there were I would know about it. I tend to be on the lookout for shows with black female characters in them, especially scifi/fantasy shows and those having to do with nerd-culture. Uhura is definitely a fantastic early example, but Charlie is about the only modern day one that I know of, and…

Well, I know that Aisha Tyler has a sense of humor about her supposedly white personality, so I would imagine she took it in stride.

He was definitely a warm blueberry muffin the whole episode. I hope it sticks.

Uh huh, so how long do they actually plan on hating the kid? Because I'd imagine that wouldn't make for a very fun viewing experience considering he's probably going to be around awhile. If I still let Joe annoy me for the awful aspects of his actual personality, not a temporary brooding period, then I can't imagine…

He was nearly at a point where the only family he was going to have left were complete strangers to him. They pushed and he pushed back. People grieve in different ways, some people are assholes. I know this from experience, give the kid a break.

Or we can stand on either side of the room with him in the center, and see which one he goes to.

It was always going to be inevitable.

Although I laughed pretty heartily at that joke, I must admit I never thought the Aisha Tyler character was an inaccurate interpretation of a black woman. I know a few who have similar personalities (myself included) and I loved that they didn't immediately rest on a stereotype, Charlie is still the only black female…

Good to know that Zoe herself isn't a total embarrassment in this. I've always liked her.

I think it's a little disturbing how little people are willing to forgive a kid for being a little surly after his mother just died. Especially considering he's pretty much fine now.

Even as someone who is emphatically against whitewashing, I never took issue with the Jacqueline subplot. To me it's just another bit of absurdism in show chock full of it. Also there was a similar subplot in That 70's Show once upon a time that I also thought was mostly okay. I'm not going to accuse anyone of being…

I believe the journalism storyline can work too, I just don't think they understand how to make it interesting, and I know exactly how interesting journalism can be onscreen, so it's really disappointing that they can't seem to get a handle on it. As for my other point, I think Iris in a motherly role would work…

Yup

I kind of hope not. Greg is that one character that I don't like and can never really figure out why. I mean, there are obvious reasons not to care for him, but I can say the same about all of the characters. I even like Valencia more than Greg. It's probably because I know too many guys like him in real life, and…

If you marry him, can I marry Zach Woods?

Silicon valley doesn't make me want to drown myself in my own tears, so yeah, it's definitely the one I'm more excited for.
