No question. And I have sympathy for this and for anyone who has survived domestic abuse: it is a shattering of one’s trust and soul -- and may she be healed from those years. And yet, it is hard for me to understand how the N-word, if swastika tattoos, and images of swastikas were not a deal-breaker from 19 to 22. I…

I have responded more fully above. I have difficulty conceiving of someone considering swastikas as edgy rather than fascist in the extreme at the age of 19. How would she have come to realise that he was a bigot, only later? He was advertising it fully. Perhaps her privilege allowed her to overlook this; but I have…
You may be a more compassionate person than I but I don’t cut her this slack. Nineteen to twenty-two is plenty old enough to know that racial slurs are reprehensible. It is also of an age to fully distinguish edgy from entrenched bigot. And having been on the receiving end of these slurs from violent pricks and their…
I cut her some slack because she was super young when they got together (she was a teen while he was in his late thirties) and it sounds like he groomed her (how old do you have to be when it’s no longer considered grooming?).
Hilary Baldwin is still leaning heavily on that business about how her parents brought up the family embracing two cultures. I call bullshit to that. Send me a home movie of Hilary and siblings sitting around the dining table conversing in Spanish and eating paella and I will re-consider.
And btw, I hesitated to write the above.
Is Hilaria/Hillary still doing the, how you say in English, accent or is she doing full speed Elizabeth Holmes and sticking with it forever?
You should, I don’t even know you but I think you’re a rockstar
So much to comment on here, but I can’t get past that shot of her IG post where she writes, “... at the end of the day we go to sleep at night knowing we have changed the lives of our students in the most meaningful, compassionate ways possible!!”
These people are, by and large, NOT tough. Their imagined oppression and keyboard Rambo shit has made them softer, not tougher.
Right? She disowns her daughter for being gay, marches to a racist protest, gets decked in the face, and catches a pink slip when she gets home. All in a day’s work.
The first season was great, but now all American Gods is doing is keeping Ian McShane from being cast in a better show that I’d actually enjoy watching, and I wish they’d cut it out.
Goddammit this could have been so good as a stand-alone 8-10 hour miniseries.
Yeah, for real, all Michael knew was what Book told her — that the last time Osyraa did this exact trick she blew up the planetary governor’s mansion! Of course she’s going to be operating under a ticking clock...
My take was that Osyraa was sortof drawing parallels between the Federation and Earth.
Earlier this season there were a bunch of weird winks about how the new-federation was not what it seemed. And I’m okay that they haven’t turned out to be secretly evil, but it’s a little disappointing/bland that they are apparently so pure.
In fairness, Trek _is_ meant to be about a post-scarcity society where money has no meaning any more. In that world, rationing based on cash would seem, let’s not put too fine a point on it, evil.
I wonder what is up with the Ferengi at this time
The actor playing the scientist has ALS, which might have contributed to his low-key delivery.
