I'm not scolding fictitious characters for being insufficiently progressive.

Power you don't know you have, and thus cannot use, is not privilege. People who have to provide an ID to vote and are not aware of how easy it is to get said ID, are effectively disenfranchised, because they don't know they have that privilege. And yes, voting is democratic privilege. Ask anyone who lives in an…

I liked that they did not go the easy route of saying one approach or another was good or bad. The Meachums had legit grievances with Danny swanning in and taking a shit all over everything they had worked for all their lives, especially given his own ignorance. They might have all been born to their positions, but…

Tracking jets online is certainly a popular pastime in Kunlun!

Because people without Iron Fists would have been in bigger trouble, and the one other superpowered person he knows hates him because of his skin color and calls him a racist for attacking a guy in hazmat gear and a full face mask?

Let me get this straight … he's dumb, because he expected X, and X happened? We are no more privy to his thought process than to Jessica Jones' magic detective work. Jessica causes a lot of harm with her work and efforts to do good as well, except she was not raised by child abusers in an alien environment to be…

Then pay attention and try to see the themes of alienation and imposed expectations. If Danny suffered the exact same things while swapping skin colors and cultures for more progressive ones, people would be falling all over themselves to show how good they were by praising its handling of them. If Danny were an…

But it's okay for a black actor to voice a white character? James Earl Jones IS the most prominent example used in this thread. In both of his most famous voice-acting works, his children were played by white actors, as well.

Presumably it had to do with Grimm powers, since Kelly Sr & Marie were actually there (I wonder how Truble thinks Zerstorer's arm came to be lying apart from his corpse, if she didn't see Kelly Sr wielding her kukri - Nick was using his fists). It's never been explicitly stated what Grimm powers actually are, aside…

Favorite line of the whole episode: "Even you!" Nick discovering Renard is still alive

What's pretty funny is that both of them accurately guessed at the splinter's significance back when they first took it out of the box. Hank speculated that it might be a piece of a "bigger piece of wood that means something", while Wu suggested that it was buried because it might cause "the gates of hell to open up".…

It's a difference of a opinion, not a refusal to face a truth as you imply with the "cowardly" comment. And the point remains, what difference does it make if she raped him? How should that change anything about the show?

So it's rape. Aaaaaand? Did we forget there are actual & attempted murders on the exact same person's hands? Murder being objectively way worse than rape, are we next going to get hung up on her possible ethics violations as an attorney?

So she's a political prop, but the Khan family are not?

Maybe because they know enough to see through the lies. John McCain has been dining out on the POW thing for a while, and he pretty started it all by insulting a crowd of Trump supporters. Trump defended his supporters to an idiot interviewer who kept chanting about McCain's POW status as if that immunized him from…

I thought she was trying to push Julieve at Nick, perhaps to separate him & Adalind so her parents get back together. I think she accepts that he's important to her mother and brother, and thus would be likely to, initially at least, seek out a less lethal solution to her own domestic situation.

Considering what she is capable of, and that the guy was more or less intact at the end, I think maybe she does, in fact, comprehend limits of acceptable behavior. At the very least Kelly Sr would have been trying instill ethics into her, if she had Diana late enough into her development that Diana remembers her as a…

Well, if she's going more Juliette than Eve, Juliette doesn't really have any friendship or affinity for Adalind & Diana. Her closest friends in the magic department, after Nick, were Monroe & Rosalee.

I know, right?! My father and I were both laughing about that when we compared notes on the episode.

I think the review misses the boat with Misty. Her problem with Luke is not a unique female double standard. There have been many male characters who have found themselves in her same boat. Just off the top of my head, it was Raylan Givens' first character arc on "Justified."
