90's Mariah. Shade. LOL. Poor Mimi. To have the world constantly re-affirm that we loved you...when you were young and, you know, at your peak. We have fond memories of you from that one decade, before you had the audacity to age. Still, it’s better than nothing.

It was filmed in Cuba, but where are they supposed to be in the actual fictional narrative? Hopefully not Cuba, since I can see how that could come off as offensive in an age where political correctness tends to demand the casting be racially correct, or at least linguistically so. It definitely looks interesting.

Well I guess something is better than nothing. The women and the gays have to take what they can get. But the thirst- this isn’t quenching it. I think we’ve all been left feeling slightly parched here. This is like one of those little chubby bottles of water. Good for one gulp.

Anyone in the area would have thought there was a real vampire trying to murder a house full of black folks. There were screams and chants and thrown objects and charges and retreats and tears. By the time we got…

I’m also conflicted.

I am black. I love science fiction. I love alternate history. I love “period” films and shows. I would love to see more people like me in these types of films.

That tone though. If Whitney was someone who’s tone was smooth an remarkable, I’m not sure what to make of Rihanna’s nasal drone.

Interesting.

Totally agree with you.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, when you put it the way you have, it’s strange to focus on a love story while there are thousands of people being murdered or enslaved. On the other hand, and as awful as it might be, people still fell in love during the darkest periods of humanity. I’m not sure I…

Hopefully the show, unlike the video real, showcases some dark-skinned Cubans.
