"Drip Drop" has got to be the most annoying thing I've heard since 'Fuckin' Problems'.

That cold opening was one of the most grotesque fucking things I've ever seen on this show. Yeah, it was well done and has impact but damn it was creepy!

I'm from Columbia. I graduated in 2007, so it wasn't that long ago; maybe stuff's changed since then?

From what I recall, most years around February whatever history class I was taking at the time would talk a bit about Black History, but it was always an addendum to some wider event (i.e. the Civil War/Reconstruction).
The big exception

I think a more accurate summation of my feelings on BHM is that I'm sour about how the idea is enacted rather than about the concept, if that makes any sense.
The thing that gets me is that in school I recall getting very little Tubman, and absolutely no X. And I went to mostly black schools. It was like Black

Going to public school made me on-the-low dislike Black History Month. I don't know; maybe it was just because I grew up in South Carolina.

But he IS engaging with the media….just from a position of undisguised contempt.

Oh, it's MUCH too late for that.

My favorite bit:

Most of the time that would bug me to no end, but since Murphy pointed out just how foolhardy the expedition is and Jaha basically replies "yeah, this is totally a shit-brained idea," I'm somehow okay with it.

What I liked about Jaha's leaving is that it was delivered in a way that suggested it was a decision that was arrived at due to equal parts ego and precaution. Like you said; Jaha thinks he knows better than anyone else and there's definitely some wounded pride involved in this undertaking. However, Jaha's also right

Really enjoyed this episode. I especially liked the little character interaction moments between 1) Jaha and Murphy and 2) Octavia and Indra.
Jaha has been entertaining ever since he reunited with the rest of the main cast, but I didn't really like what the show was having him do. I was afraid he was being set up so

Nobody is a slave to his own libido; if that were true, every man would cheat and we all know a lot of us don't.

Schoolboy Q is one of those guys that's pretty well known amongst hip-hop fandom, but if you showed his picture to random people on the street most of them wouldn't know who the hell he was.

Personally, with Nick Fury, I think he's going to stay black. Due to the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a whole new generation of fans are under the impression that the character was always a black guy.
Also, after whatever-the-hell the 'Original Sin' crossover was supposed to be, Marvel's got an excuse

It's a shame that writers for the Ultimate line seemed to start running out of ideas. That plus back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back "Events" and stupid plot developments in the big mainstream Marvel comics is what led me to start reading the titles starring the "2nd tier" characters.
Moon Knight, Hawkeye, Miles

As another person who got into comics as a kid by reading the Ultimate Universe, I feel your sentiments. In general, I don't like the idea of killing characters because it eliminates the possibilities for new stories to be told.
That said, I can't really say that I don't see the logic behind the folding it into the

I'm going to probably break one of my own rules and read this event comic, but I'd be lying if I said that I'm excited.

Panama, you're a braver man than I am. The furthest I've ever gone to chill with a girl I didn't really know was driving the 50 minutes from Durham to Greensboro, NC.

This wasn't one of my favorite episodes. Lando was thoroughly enjoyable but I got annoyed by the regular cast of characters. I know it's supposed to be a lighter episode, but aside from Hera who remained her usual competent self and Sabine (who didn't get to do a whole hell of a lot) everybody acted like an idiot.
