So, as we are so fond of saying here at the AVC: It can be two things.

It can both be a fun easter egg reference to A Force (and by extension, Secret Wars) that visualizes the depth of possibility with characters who are women AND (as I note in the middle of the first paragraph, the thing that is ACTUALLY being…

I think it’s more the uterine vestibule. Uterine Foyer? Reproductive Porch?

I .... um.... look, the cervix should NOT be construed as the Honey Pot in any way, shape, or form that the term is usually used with. In fact, I am crossing my legs and wincing just at the thought. This is less a nit pick and more just a cautionary message to any men who many think referring to the CERVIX (a specific…

One more time for the people in the back:

Review grades are not an abstract rubric of quality overall, nor are they graded based on genres. Review “grades” at the AVC are INTERNAL TO THE SHOW ITSELF. Not all television serves the same purpose, nor “entertains” the same way. Mindless fun just is not the same as the…

Post whatever reckoning Alice has coming (Arkham presumably), building on Sophie as the daughter Jacob always wanted within the Crows, thereby pitting everything Sophie is against everything Kate is, and then having Sophie make a CHOICE that favors Kate is the only way to really redeem her I think.

I just assume we get Kandor for that.

Adding to the Halt and Catch Fire praise, and the Season 1 slowness caveat. HOWEVER: Around episode 8, you see the 2 women characters interact in a way that clearly inspires the Season 2 pivot, and it’s worth it for the character development getting them to that place. Also, there is a supporting character whose…

What are the slang terms for cervix and throat?

Yup - mischaracterizing why the A-Force reference scene doesn’t universally work is the other problem with the article. Because I can both appreciate an easter egg for its comic nerdiness and representational catharsis AND be critical of it because it happens after offing the character that made it possible and…

Dear Tom:

Can I call you Tom? I like the feature, and normally I’d don’t give a shit, but please talk to more women other than your daughter and the woman who probably gave birth to her. After many decades of NOT HAVING SHIT REPRESENT US, lots of women had an emotional reaction to the damn women-Avengers moment and did…

Came here for this.

She is with Carrie AND Grumpy Cat, which seems about right for Fisher’s wit and heart. 

Thank you.  I came here specifically for this joke.  Glad to see the commentariat won’t completely let me down, despite Kinjapocalypse. 

Save Dom from the larger reach of the Dark Army. 

Meanwhile, I was being distracted by the meeting with Price and White Rose occurring in the Beaux Arts Court on the 3rd Floor of the Brooklyn Museum....

There is one more in the paragraph about Whiterose’s bodyguards ushering Whiterose away after shoot Price. 

There is a later season episode where there is an Aliens reference, and they ask his character if he has seen the movies.

But breaking fingers is an actual assault, and THAT gets you kicked out automatically. 

Internalized misogyny, institutionalization of oppressive norms, and gaslighting. It’s how there are women Republicans.

Women really are socialized in some ways to be especially harsh to each other in order to prove legitimacy in mixed gendered leadership. So, the lesson to talk to your daughter about is how the…
