US here. Most Americans will think this episode is rubbish, not because of Rosa Parks, but because this episode was void of anything Syfy. This season is probably the most uninteresting monsters/Aliens a season has had. We have a Tooth fairy the episode 1, Haunted Medic Bandages in episode 2, and a Greaser in episode…

Actually it’s two individuals with the generally correct but challenging position bickering amongst each other over how to achieve their goal, drawing attention to their petulant behavior instead of the cause at hand. Subsequently every one else gets sick of their shit and focuses on how shitty these people can be and…

Sorry, but this episode didn’t change my mind at all:

This is like Splinter writers trying to out woke one another.

If George was still running the show he would have likely been OK with it as he did have a sense of humor. Then again, if he was still there, we would not even have Kylo Ren to kick around but some other character we all would have thought was pretty stupid.

“Kylo Ren, the fearsome and complicated villain of the new Star Wars movies”

(What is Archie Panjabi up to?How was her leather-boots-wearing baseball-bat-toting character not made into a superhero?)

And once again we down here in the grays are left to wonder when you will ever acknowledge your half dozen co-workers on the S***y Media Men list.

I don’t like Kobe or know anything about his cartoons that he won something for apparently, but this is dumb. It’s totally their prerogative to un-invite him, because freedom, but that entire situation was sketchy. So now regardless of innocence or guilt, you’re assumed guilty. Good to know. #believemen 

This is some f’ed up crap. This is how we allow corporations control everything. I used to not care, but this is getting out of control.

It’s not pot kettle when the topic is gender diversity. It’s pot orange.

“atone for the negative effect the show’s early years might have had on society”

I’ll be honest, while I appreciate...their desire to atone for the negative effect the show’s early years might have had on society...
