I can't care about Skye getting shot because she walked out of the room, where the man with the gun was, and walked back like she's fucking bulletproof. WTF? Like she thought they were playing pretend or some shit. That's just a basic lack of survival instinct. If I were a white woman I'd be pretty ticked at that…

Yea, listening to Harmontown would not lead me to believe he has the answers. Although, what if he gives excellent advice but his petulance prevents him from following his better angels?

Parts of that Harmontown episode made me cringe. Dan is clearly intelligent but when he is stating the straightforwardness of racial politics when compared to gender or really pontificating about things he seems to have very little information on it just gets hard to listen because no one can really out talk him so…

Depends on the woman. Given the nature of the relationship, it isn't hard to imagine he'd memorize certain details b/c of who she was to him.

A slave can't say no so couldn't be unfaithful

Black Lieutenant is safe.

That episode, and thus the season, fell flat for me. It isn't so much that things didn't work, I conceptually understand it but it was unsatisfying to see it play out (sans chalky creeping on Nucky and Eli braining that Fed).

Right, her man was so my mistake.

I don't find Queenie defecting to be that surprising or poorly handled. Even the show loses track of Queenie from week to week, is it shocking to think she feels somewhat isolated. From what we know, she's been in the coven longer but she's getting orders barked at her from Zoe? Used and manipulated by Fiona. …

Real talk. At least once an episode I wonder how I'm suppose to feel about the witches. If Marie is the season's villain then that's hollow, I'm not going to side against the former slave. If it's Fiona, ok, but it feels kind of small because you don't get the sense that Fiona is really more powerful than Marie…

Why? Even if confined to the house, he'd be exposed to changes in technology/culture so it wouldn't be that surprising to him. I also assumed he killed a guy and took his apartment b/c he's a killer.

no one saw that movie or is willing to admit it.

Yea, I could almost forgive that because a) my ignorance of the origins of voodoo, especially as practiced in Haiti and because I felt like the two were treated as being on par, Angela Bassett being on par with the Supreme (which is why I could also overlook that problematic scene where Fiona mocked the descendants of…

But Jenny is that type of friend who is fickle so she'll cycle through guys and just expect you to include them in your circle but get all pissy because you actually liked one and don't just want to move on to the next one. She wanted Ming and Tamara to care about Matty and they did. She coaxed Tamara into keeping a…

This was already flirting with it but it seems we have now fully embraced the "white people do it better" trope. Add to that Queenie protecting a former slave owning sadist and the racial subtext is really becoming problematic for me.

Mako should have left Korra, she was showing signs of an abusive s/o. Verbally abusive, isolating the weaker partner, and violent outbursts so I credit Mako for not sticking aroud

I agree.  I don't feel bad for Cece in all of this because she waits for him to move on to confess her feelings, doing so with his new interest right there and expects him to make a choice?  That's douchey.

I guess I can believe there would be gaps in their knowledge because even experts aren't generally experts on all facets of an area.  So maybe they assume portals work like a doorway with one path but Bael knows that one portal can send multiple people multiple places.

Should they have?  I know the two are magical but have they used portals enough to know how they work?

If I recall, we never received an explanation for how portals worked until this episode so they didn't know where Bael was going to end up and therefore couldn't assume he'd be healed and safe.
