If this takes a turn into Miss Congeniality territory, I'm out.
Though, Yael as an FBI agent would certainly make Quinn's "panties wet" as she so likes to provoke.

Agreed, on all accounts, especially the Rachel/Coleman relationship. Rachel is unstable and a serial seeker of human crutches, that seem disguised to her in the form of sexual partners. Of course, for all his good intentions, Coleman only feeds her codependency; whether he will realize this or not is something to…

Yeah, but in his defence, she WAS kicking him. (Haha). But then he sat outside her door, which could be seen as chivalrous or creepy, depending on your level of romanticism.

Yeah, the show having Jay tell Rachel it's not her story to tell is the show essentially excusing itself, in a disclaimer of sorts; a move which ITSELF is a perfect illustration of this whole White People Flailing that's emerged in the wake of Black Lives Matter. We've all seen it: white people yet again managing to…

I thought maybe she was still just a fame-hungry opportunist who feels like she's failing her mission maybe within the frame of the show, so she's looking for another route in the "exposé" kind of way…

I feel like the Grander Irony is that, here we have a TV show that began with a sort of sanctimonious mission to expose America's dark obsession with superficiality, and as we watch it sink to committing the same crimes it stands to accuse, it still thinks it's a good platform for debating post-modern race relations.…

It's really cool to see well-thought-out commentary, and also that seems like it took a bit of time to source, too. So refreshing when compared with the trolly nonsense spewed across most of the internet! :)

Truth, we as viewers do tend to take all our frustration out on actors; sometimes it's merited, sometimes it's not. I feel like doing a second watch myself. Maybe it wasn't the acting so much as the character itself that rubbed me the wrong way.

I think I remember her introducing herself with the hard-G style "Gillian," right? And definitely noticed that everyone else after, Roger, Claire and Brianna, pronouncing it the soft-G way… I guess it doesn't matter much to be which it is but how hard is it to maintain consistency with something like that?

Oh my gosh, I know! Such an unnecessary use of, what was that, like Sunrise CGI? Gross. And so, so SILLY. I mean I know our suspension of disbelief is in full-throttle mode with this show most of the time, but come on, showrunner people.

Agreed. Even though we had to know it was coming, it was still a bit grating to watch, especially in its placement, just right there at the end.

Right? She had a couple of odd vowels here and there, but I thought it played alright as a "daughter of British parents" concept. Schoolyards aside, we can't deny our parents influence over us, accents included.

A+…I feel like you should be granted letters after your name for this commentary.

I absolutely agree with this on all aspects of Hollywood's Crimes Against Female Characters.

Exactly. And I hate when dialogue is used to characterize: "Oh, you're so like your father; headstrong, blahblahblah"…I was going, Oh, is that what that was?

In some ways, the shaky American accent could maybe be explained away by the character being a child of parents with British accents…as in, she was raised around certain vowel sounds that might stick, despite growing up in the States…but I do realize this is kind of a wildly unnecessary rationalization.

I feel like Claire meeting Geillis in 1968, after-but-also-before meeting her in the 1740s, would have created a black hole in the time continuum that this book/show might not be willing to tackle, right? The creators of the story would need to take an opinion on the parameters of their brand of science fiction: Does…

I see what you mean about the way the show painted Mr. Edgars, but honestly, when he opened the front door to greet Claire, I was like, "Oh, Drunk Wife Beater."

I just meant it'd be so awesome for the writers to pull an "Airplane" and give us a literal metaphor. Shit hitting a fan, a bone hitting Allison in the face. HILARIOUS. And completely unrealistic, like some other stuff happening this season.

In agreement on the references to the inexplicable bone Dar Adal is throwing at Allison (BUT, I do hope it hits her in the face).
