Or we could have someone who wants to critically review the show, you know, do that, rather than having these weekly polemics when the author doesn’t get their way. It’s fair to criticize bad opinions and bad writing and want something better from a site you visit.

And she nailed the Chris Reeve delivery. It was glorious.

There was a flying saucer in season 2, it totally passes.

It’ll either be the Dragonhorn or Ellaria Sand.

Easier to do when he’s lost his head.

Ahem. Jon, Dany, and Tyrion. Three dragons, which means we need a third Targaryen to ride and my money is on that line from Tywin “if I could prove that you weren’t my son...” being foreshadowing of things to come.

I frankly haven’t read enough of Evan’s pieces to know. I know this one rubbed me the wrong way, and I think it’s mostly because, to me, it’s projecting issues into a work rather than dealing with the work on its own merits or failures.

>You and others commenting assume it shouldn’t. Which is fucking stupid.

>don’t think anyone is saying that only a whole song and dance on intersectional politics would have been the only correct course.

That’s a pretty valid criticism. Structurally I suppose they could have given us more of Moira’s perspective without it being jarring given that we got out a bit from June’s head.

>Ok, so you personally not liking a batman movie is Valid Art Criticism, but people of color saying, “Hey, this did not represent me in the way it thinks it did” is unmerited criticism. Ok.

>The show is not perfect, and it’s ok to criticize where it failed.

>Why does it have to be good vs. bad, why can’t we say “this thing has many good points but also points worth criticizing”?

Did I grammar wrong?

>But it requires thoughtfulness that production may or may not be able to or want to prioritize and that’s a fair criticism.

What, that I’ve seen how people lose their minds over these issues repeatedly and can’t see an alternative that would appease the vocal minority makes me unimaginative?

>there’s not much difference between making an all-white show about racists and making a racist show.

>Today’s American Evangelical Christians have another name: Dominionists.

Agreed. If they’d stayed true to the book and had all the black characters banished to show the racism that Atwood described, they’d be accused of not having a diverse enough cast. If they cast color-blind (as they did here) they get accused of being insensitive to the intersectional nature of oppression that WOC

Right, but that’s the point. If Barry still has a future where he’s the Flash and dissapears “in a Crisis” then they’ve killed all jeapordy associated with his dissapearance. What they should have done is had that headline replaced entirley with something else written about maybe Wally?
