Why would it only be for waitresses? What do you have against waiters? Get your sexist nonsense out of here.

Pay people a fair market wage for working in the service industry? What country do you think you’re in, they should be gone into MY field if they wanted to be paid fairly. Maybe don’t get a major in Basket Weaving next time, lazy libs!

We all have a hard time with change. Even if it’s something we know needs to be done, just to break away from how we are used to doing things can be extremely difficult. It’s a bizarre phenomenon.

As a society, can we just do away with this tipping nonsense? Pay people a fair market wage, and reserve tipping for exceptional service.

And, as the FCC situation has proven, it doesn’t matter what we do. The entire populous of the United States could log on and register their vehement opposition to this terrible rule, and it will get implemented anyway. The only solution at this point is to make sure to hand the server a cash tip and tell them to put…

Don’t worry Danny, it’s all part of Xenu’s plan.

“NOOOO!!!! They’ve ruined this beloved show” said absolutely no-one

“Trump’s plane was stocked with “many packages” of Oreos because once one was open, he refused to eat from it again.”

• He scrapes the toppings off his pizza. “I never eat the dough,” he told US Weekly.

“Your assessment of the show does not align with what they are putting on the air.” —in your opinion.

How was the post racist?

The fundamental flaw of this review is that it judges a woman of 1968 and and a man of 1767 by the standards of 2017.

Of course Clare’s narration features a bias toward the British colonialist first world/third world view. She is a product of that society. Of course Clare and Jamie would take advantage of the human…

I somewhat appreciate that the show isn’t falling into the “my best friend is black” trope and acting like her friendship with Joe makes her 100% perfect on the race front. The slave subplot is meant to show that her actions led to her friend being born 150 years later. It’s clunky and it’s not much better in the…

Also, would it really have been better if the characters reacted indifferently to slavery? Or if the show ignored the reality of slavery at that time altogether?

Claire is on the correct side of the racial fence. I just don’t understand what you and Kayla expect Claire to have done in this scenario. Make a grand speech about how racism is wrong? Talk about Abraham Lincoln and MLK? Risk death or imprisonment? Make the authorities aware of Jamie’s presence in Jamaica? Again, the…

Especially since Claire is from 1968, not 2017. She’s uncomfortable with John Grey’s homosexuality even though she knows she shouldn’t be jealous of Jamie’s friendship with him. She isn’t perfect, but she’s about as progressive as someone who was pushing 50 in the 1960s is going to be.

Thank you for expressing my thought about what the reviewer said! Totally agree.

Showing the horrors of slavery through the eyes of uncomfortable white people centers their comparatively minor trauma rather than the actual trauma of the slaves. It’s voyeuristic and plays into the white savior narrative. Being disgusted by slavery doesn’t make Claire and Jamie heroes

Considering it was the runner-up in several categories, it would seem your feeling is wrong.

I haven’t seen the movie yet (not even sure when it’s getting a release in my neck of the woods) but it’ll be forever associated with Armie Hammer’s brilliant Twitter-slam of James Woods, so for that alone, I hope it wins tons of awards.
