I always thought the reboot was quite good, and felt like it had aged and updated well. Especially the one where the woman can stop time by shouting - that was the perfect TZ episode for the 80s.

And yet the Japanese-Americans were the ones locked in camps during the war. I wish I could put my finger on what the difference was.

DEAD serious comment.  I’m constantly amazed when I watch an episode (I own the DVD set) and see his name in the credits.  Dude had a hand in all sorts of classics.

Yeah, I guess I took the tone more lightly than superfans and didnt really think it was that negative.

Including Lindbergh!

We literally had American versions of Nazi Youth camps. It’s amazing how tolerant America has always been of such views.

It’s absolutely bizarre. They made this genuinely thinking it was going to be a gamechanger. I wonder how many of the actual talented people (Dame Dench, Sir Ian, Idris) are going to regret being in this. 

Take your damn star. TAKE IT. AND GET OUT.

it literally looks like the whole thing was done with a snapchat filter

We should start a club! I just learned that today in my late 30s and I am also shocked!

I’m stealing “breathtaking inanity” for use in my everyday life. 

Me: <shoots [redacted]>

I absolutely adore snarky legalese. I read a particularly satisfying ruling not too long ago - I think it was the Nassar case (I LOVED that judge) - and legitimately laughed out loud at several points.

Good for her! 

Marketing research found the original tagline “Where’s Your God Now?” didn’t test well.

I was just about to edit to say, “unless your ‘rug’ is one of those transparent mats ...”

I mean, that DOES explain how every depiction of slavery I’ve read or watched in TV/film has mostly dialogue that goes “Hey! Get over here, PERSON! I will whup your PERSON ASS if you don’t get back to work! Goddam PEOPLE!”

Sometimes also the control. This is still an inherently sexist country - and law is a tool; it can be an instrument of justice or of oppression — and look how many lives they got to ruin.

Plus, the “innocent women” is usually pretty racially coded; WOC never get the benefit of a doubt that a white woman like Maxwell does.
