I would have agreed wholeheartedly with this article if I hadn’t just seen that season finale. Spoilers be here:

Thanks for letting us know, we were on the edge of our seats

I mean they’re analog, so they’d have to be intentionally put online rather than found there, and the only people who have them are the people about whom private information is shared on them (plus her parents) who certainly don’t want the world hearing that shit. I can’t imagine why any of them would do that.

This viscerally upset me

Him and me both. I couldn’t look directly at the screen for most of that episode.

I agree completely - I feel like the ending will be disregarded as just a final punchline, but it says a lot. A lot of the time this season Alfred has been hard to read (Does he really not see how nuts this guy is? What does he want from his career? What does he want from Earn? What does he take seriously - if…

It was total justice, too. Yell yourself hoarse, you crazy freeloading near-coed-murdering motherfucker.

Well this was disturbingly accurate. Fuck you, me!

The “take away her phone and she’s tied to you” bit is predator 101.

White feminism is absolutely a thing, but the way you lump “cis” into this is troubling. Trans and nonbinary people are excluded by black women who call themselves feminists too, and suffer just as much violence from men within our community. Black issues and trans issues are not automatically synonymous. I want to…

If it’s the interview I read, it seems like what he’s saying is even though they’re off-book now they’re not really, because they’re still within the story of this one woman, and he can see the world beyond that enough to envision a ton more story, all the way toward Gilead-Nuremberg trials. So it sounds like June’s…

Gross overgeneralization. Relationships are complicated, people cheat for all kinds of reasons and in all kinds of ways. A lot of people cheat in some manner at some point in their lives and won’t again under different circumstances, only a select few are compulsively unfaithful

I’m very fond of that moment in Scary Movie 3 that spoofs the whole “coming home to find someone unconscious” thing where it’s like “I don’t know what happened, everything was fine, we were playing a game, and I looked down and...-gasp- YAHTZEE!” and knocks himself out on the hanging light again

I would see your point if they hadn’t cast people of color in almost every single new recurring role this season. I’m pretty sure Imra is the only exception. So it’s less a “let’s intentionally cast our only women of color in these roles” than a “let’s make an effort to cast people of color wherever we can”. I know…

I like it too. I find Returns very hard to watch, and though I respect the original it’s just not that fun to revisit. The less said about Batman and Robin the better, but I honestly think Forever was a fun romp which people insist on taking too seriously.

That’s a good point, I’ll start noting the ingredients of what spicy thing I’m eating.

Soothes most things. I also have this when I’m nauseous and need to get my blood sugar up but like also never even think about eating anything again.

My problem with super spicy stuff isn’t so much the burning feeling, it’s that it does something to my taste buds that makes everything taste slightly off for the next hour or so. Sometimes I just want to enjoy a mojito at the same time as my extra spicy tom yum noodles, for chrissake

I had completely forgotten how their courtship began! That explains a lot

The simplest explanation is that they tried to run and were caught. That family were clearly committed to blending in to this new society. I think it shows the two paths laid out for people who saw the writing on the wall potentially too late - do your damnedest to conform and hope it will be enough to keep you safe,…
