Sigh, I deserve everything I get.

Okay, I started writing this about halfway through the first paragraph of your article, when one of the ads crashed the page and reloaded, and I still haven’t changed what I was going to say after reading the whole thing:

I’m hoping the outcome will be as wholesome as you predict it to be. Being the Internet, it can swing either way.

My wife and I enjoyed watching Kung Fu and it was clear they were expecting this. As much as I would have enjoyed watching the Shen Family doing its thing the writing was on the wall and I can only be happy that we got the three seasons we did.

Which makes it all the more ironic, right? But then again, there are probably many people on/behind the screen that have a disconnect between the things they say/do, right?

Even Leon character finds it cringey, and that’s what saved it for me. He very specifically makes sure it never goes beyond platonic because he knows it’s wrong. Which is more than can be said for the director, a fact I only learned much later in life.

To be fair, I imagine all that is entirely plausible, and it’s entirely possible he came across racist cops and a crooked DA. However, none of that means that he didn’t abuse a woman, and given the “evidence” his defense lawyer thought was exculpatory sounds very much like a victim of abuse apologizing to their…

I think I just discovered third puberty. (Second puberty was hearing Sia singing on Zero 7's “Destiny.”)

Thankfully the murder is secondary to the cast hanging out and riffing off each other for me.

I’m sore about most of the missing freshman shows. The Tick and Jean-Claude Van Johnson in particular.

I don’t know how anyone could have seen Paget Brewster in S6 and thought it wasn’t worth watching:

I’m not getting a “just a joke” tone from this. It’s like “shit, actually the joke I told hurt people, and now I’m experiencing the consequences.”

The foot massage brought her to completion.

2. Almost as important: I have no idea how to quote (0bviously). Can someone give an old man a keyboard shortcut?

I’m betting a lot of potential redemption arcs happen outside of the public scope. By the time most people people are outed, they’ve been given multiple opportunities to, you know, reflect on their abuses. We generally only see the tail end when they’ve decided to deny/double-down on their ways.

He was this close to having the world eating out of the palm of his hand. How is “don’t do abusive asshole things” such a high bar to clear, particularly with the kind of money he could be making at stake?!

Hey, we Asian-Americans are also mostly identified by continent rather than geographical explicitness as well. I’d think that the primary issue is that because of the slave trade it is nearly impossible to identify which part of the continent any individual can trace themselves to.

let’s not forget the loyal best friend back home—in this case, Jenny (a winsome Sophia Nomvete)—whom you just know will turn up later

It’s actually “Lou the 9th-14th,” you uncultured sow.

Surprisingly it worked for me. Maybe because I was expecting it.
