You did it poorly. You actively said railing about the ‘dead lesbian trope’ was silly because plot. The writing was in the wall, but the show runner brought out the fact that he was aware the trip existed and that Lexa would be in the season finale. It’s not surprising when a lesbian dies on TV. Someone calculated the…

I absolutely disagree that this was a forgettable episode. Melissa and Chyler gave fantastic performances and Calista was a delight. I loved the part with Hank revealing himself to save not only Alex, but Kara as well. Jimmy WAS super forgettable as kind if an ass, though Winn is maybe becoming a bit less annoying. I…

You can’t divorce the individual case from the cultural narrative. Whatever the reason they did it, they set a lot of LGBT youth up for a hard fall by telling them to trust. I don’t watch the 100, but as a queer woman on tumblr, it’s on my dash. Do you know what was all over my dash today last night and today? Suicide…

Please also bear in mind how few lesbian characters there are on TV at all. There isn’t another lesbian couple under 30 on American TV right now. Not one.

I cannot wait for my robot chauffeur to drive me to all of my destinations. The reduction in stress will be wonderful and I’ll like getting to spend my ride just looking out the windows again. If I have a few too many drinks, it won’t matter. If I’m tired, that won’t matter either. I am hopeful that I can have my car…

It was updated to reflect a picture of modern times for the middle and upper middle class.

No, but they get worse shit because they’re poor and a show that used to take place on a street that looked like theirs now looks like the nice street they drive by on the bus sometimes. Sometimes the worst part of poverty isn’t just the fact that you’re never full and there is nothing you can have (which is an AWFUL…

I think the way we’ve cut funding to public television is deplorable. Sesame Street was never SUPPOSED to be about making money. I get that this is probably the only way to keep the show going, but it puts off any real conversation about what we’ve done in defunding our public broadcasting service that EVERYTHING a…

It’s worth noting, because it denotes a huge change in what is considered public television. It WAS free for the public, now it is behind a paywall and beholden to a major corporation. It is no longer being produced for the public good, but for a private corporation. I can’t help you if you don’t realize the…

Changing something from a pubic good to a private good is worth talking about. They don’t watch it to stay current, but it IS worth noting that there is a wall that exists now in what used to be one of the great childhood equalizers. I think most of the changes Sesame Street has made over the years have been negative…

I addressed this. They will get the episodes 9 months later than the kids whose parents have cash. It denotes a shift from a product being FOR underserved to youth, to being one targeted at middle to upper middle class kids that the poor kids can see months later.

That is absolutely the case as a short amount of googling would show. http://www.newsweek.com/how-sesame-str…. It’s mentioned in this article which talks about the impact of the program. Being on HBO is a problem. It is absolutely saying they don’t need those poor kids now to change the environment to that of the…

I have the same reaction. Whenever I here that Naya went crazy on someone, I immediately assume that they deserved it. I eagerly await her memoir.

The person who created Star Trek has been dead for almost 25 years. The original series aired for the first time 50 years ago next year. In any other time period in history, this would have long ago entered the public domain for others to create stories. Instead we have corporations owning our cultural heritage and…

I think it’s more that Canadian rules on corporal punishment of children would not be in line with a lot of other nationalities. Canada allows open palmed smacks of a trifling nature in children between 2 and 12 only. I imagine they don’t want people getting their kids taken away or getting deported for child abuse. I…

I always read Voyager as Janeway subtley and slowly losing it. I personally think she got tipped over the edge in the pitcher plant episode but that is just my thoughts from a rewatch.

This show was so good in the first season and I’d say the second as well. Then it went off. And got worse and worse. This season has lost all internal consistancy whatsoever. The only minorly bright spot was Zelena’s snark and they screwed that all up too.

I’m going to let you finish, but the worst Christmas song is Christmas Shoes. As confirmed by the rest of my Jezzies:

Was there timpani in the DS9 theme? I always associate it with Voyager...

Her father has been dead since 1980. To say this would be his wish would be assuming quite a bit. Digital distribution wasn’t a thing in his lifetime and this blocks and interactive online edition by the Anne Frank museum.
