TOTALLY. It felt so "hey look, this is pretty artsy isn't it?"

When have I ever said I don't like the show? I'm frustrated with how it's being written at the moment, but that's only because it has shown the potential to be amazing. It's still a good show.

Oh agreed, although I do think the casual disregard and lack of concern of getting it right contributes to society's lack of empathy and concern. It's like rape culture: 0what's wrong with one little rape joke? Not like it hurts anyone!" Well, actually…

Everyone has done that. Testing the product and having fun with it is not even in the same ballpark as using it for emotional support in a dark time.

TIL

That's not really relevant? I'm saying he's not at that level of genius, not talking resume.

Actually, it's really not complicated at all. Stop muddying the waters. If you feel you're a man, you're a man. If you feel you're a woman, you're a woman. If you feel like you don't slot into either, you're queer/non-binary.

BD Wong has said Whiterose considers herself a woman.

I guess we have different definitions of "rich." Joanna is still a cypher at best, Dom is a walking stereotype. I'll give you Angela and Elliot but over an entire season it's not very much. In fact, I'd argue we've only made Elliot's psychosis more confusing.

of course. But he's not the second coming of David Chase is all I'm saying.

Nah, I'm never not going to take someone to task for insulting the entire concept of being transgendered by implying it's just in their head, and not something we need to recognize as valid.

Does he? I'm not sure about that. And even if it's true, he can arrive at the conclusion in an incredibly unsatisfactory way. Look at True Detective S1

Always nice to meet a fan.

I was giving Torv a lot of credit I didn't necessarily feel earned. Peter was to whom I was referencing.

Ah interesting. Sounds about right. Man this show is so interesting because it has such great ambition, but when it falls short it does so in a very educational way.

We're on a website dedicated to critical evaluation of art, discussing a discussion. Not sure why my points are hand waved away as "bitching" simply because I'm annoyed and critical of where this show is going.

I don't think he's that cynical about his work. Who do you think he is, David Chase?

Uh huh. Just because they said that, doesn't mean it's true. I find it pretty hard to believe.

I'd rather watch neither?

Biologically female is not the same as being a woman.
