I don’t see what Farouk did in Chapter 18 as altering Syd’s mind, unlike what the monk did to Division 3 in Chapter 11. Farouk manipulated her feelings without actually psychically tampering with her mind. So even though Syd was manipulated into believing David was the true villain, she was still acting within her…

If you can’t see how altering someone’s brain and then having sex with someone in an altered state is allegorical to sexual assault in a non-psychic world, then you’re not trying hard enough. Sexual assault isn’t the kind of thing that we should approach as an open-ended philosophical discussion. Ignoring Farouk’s…

As someone who only got into Fleetwood Mac because of The Americans and hasn’t listened to anything outside of Rumours, I’m not sure how to feel. I guess it’s sad that his life was hard after his career ended. Man, the music business was messy those days.

She forgot Jared from season 2, and he was actually a part of her arc (Vlad was Stan’s skeleton). I don’t know, maybe she took a lucky guess with Vlad.

I am on board with that headcanon.

I’m surprised she remembered not killing that Rezidentura guy — I wanna say Vlad? Nina’s friend? — even though he was a character from season 1.

I’m 23. I understand some fads. I don’t understand others. I understand even less why people think it’s socially acceptable to take swipes at a public figure just because they don’t “understand” the buzz surrounding her. Why does it bother you that people like Cardi B?

Go to sleep, old person.

She’s not “crazy”. She suffers from mental illnesses. And the show criticizes the “crazy” label as reductive. It’s amazing, charming, and unpredictable, and it’s one of my highest recommendations. Everyone watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!

Begone, troll! Your misogyny is not welcome.

That is decent headcanon. But I would be more supportive of the story if the show did a better job calling out Quentin’s behavior. They never actually said that he compromised Not Laurel’s autonomy by essentially abducting her. Your theory works, and it’s supported by Blackthorne’s performance, but the writing has…

That’s like checking to see if someone is straight before asking them out. You don’t truly know until you ask.

You sure showed them.

Or it could not have worked because the landlord simply didn’t want to fuck a random tenant? I agree with the review that bringing up the Cambodian (re: suspicious country of origin) boyfriend was a contrived maneuver so it could lead to Oscar’s connection to him.

Hello, I’m writing this in a post-kinjapocalypse future because I think it’s important to argue with your analysis. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and BoJack Horseman each gave us a plot in 2016 that ~featured~ abortion, but each plot covered different angles. It’s almost as if, golly, abortion is more nuanced than the…

I don’t know. That’s been said before, but then she had that weird career assassination plot with Oliver’s reporter girlfriend and she was so traumatized by her actions that she needed to ditch town for a while and also satisfy her contractual obligations. I think Thea is as put together as the plot her contract demand…

You’ve also got a Puerto Rican megastar heartthrob playing his Italian boyfriend.

Not to be pedantic, but wouldn’t “Nostalgia Industrial Complex” be a better phrasing?

No, you’re attacked for being a misogynist when you describe music as “girly” to mean “not enough rage”. In 2017.
