It came out in 2018, so not really? They could have made at least a second one before the pandemic. In addition to the screenwriting contract dispute, it’s a victim of the makers’ own success and lack of foresight in contracting. It was pretty tricky to schedule Jon Chu, Constance Wu, Gemma Chan, and Henry Golding in…

The books/movies are very clearly updates to the Jane Austen rich society satire (with a bit of romantic comedy). Almost the entire point is that they’re not in touch.

Similarly to Star Trek, I cannot comprehend how someone can be so into such humane properties and still be a massive asshole about gender and race. Obvi neither of the shows are perfect, but to some extent they’ve always been progressive and interested in universal respect and compassion. I hope these losers are sticki…

No NuWho doctor has done more than three seasons. She’s done her time. It is a tough break that she got the COVID years and the truly execrable Flux season I guess

I would assume so? Third Scottish doctor in NuWho though, so in a way completely according to script.

It’s relatively likely to change. He’s the second youngest actor to play the Doctor. As they did with Matt Smith, I think the show is going to lean in to how young and cute he is. My perception might be skewed because I was a high school girl at the time, but Doctor Who fandom seemed like it went through the roof when…

For sure skimpy salary, built in nepotism, class BS, etc. But also the royal family literally lives in palaces, palaces whose historical purpose was partially to house mountains of staff. Is this job not high enough up that housing and board would be included? 

Well-spotted

That's pretty much how trials go before the plaintiff's case closes and you get the chance to hear the other side.

I could definitely see her as a couple's therapist who makes it extremely clear for Miranda that having a queer awakening isn't carte blanche to be a dick

JFK’s signature hue is less “just back from vacation” and more “I have Addison’s disease.” 

She was also filming Avatar 2 and 3 for more than three full years. So in a more real sense of “days spent inhabiting the character”, she probably has spent more time playing Neytiri than the comparisons. Not that it really matters.

What’s Quill’s arc other than him recovering from the trauma of losing his mom and being raised by strangers who couldn’t articulate that they cared about him? If one’s too dull to helm a blockbuster, the other should be too. Personally, I’d kind of love if they did a more realistic take on The Vow, or 50 First Dates.…

I thought the sacrifice angle was going to be representation related. I haven’t crunched the numbers, but I’d assume by box office she’s one of the top five most bankable female actors ever, and ranked higher for Afro-Latinx actors. And yet, except for Star Trek, she’s almost never appearing recognizably as herself or…

It looks more like a hyperstylized psycho thriller version of the Manhattan show. As that show was and I’d watch Florence Pugh make eggs, this looks quite intriguing.

Ouch, this and Batwoman on the same day wipes out a decent chunk of queer women on TV.

Normally I’m against corporations having an outsize role in politics, but I can’t wait to see the Disney-funded PAC, ads, and general messing with DeSantis. If corps are as powerful as people say they are, I doubt he’s going to ever win another election.

Whoops, didn’t read closely enough. But sounds like she uses she/they.

They haven't said what pronouns they prefer yet. Some non-binary people use a mix, so we don't know yet if any of the options would be offensive to Monae. 

Not they are God, they’re from God. It’s a very, very widespread belief in Abrahamic religions that humans are made by God in God’s image, i.e. from God. It’s a very ungenerous reading to think Monae’s off the deep end saying she’s God, instead of rephrasing what your average Christian believes.
