It was absolute torture. I had “bad hair” (just imagine what that term does to a young black girl’s self esteem !). Every two weeks, my grandmother would grease up my hair and straighten and style my hair with iron combs and curlers which were heated on the stove til they glowed red hot. This resulted in extremely…

Here ya go.

I know some people still have issues with it, but for the money “Good Hair” was a pretty good, even if light-hearted, look at Black women and the torture we put our hair through:

I think so, yes. It would explain Sister Mary’s reference to Lenny as a living saint. That’s surely how she’d process it if a little boy in her care did things that should be impossible.

I don’t want to give anything away, but later episodes weigh in heavily on whether or not Pope Lenny can perform miracles.

It does seem like he can perform miracles from the clips I have seen. And it would be interesting to explore that in connection with his crisis of faith.

We see you, Russian plant.

The main takeaways I have from this show are the following:

I’m rewatching Episode 3 because I was either drunk or i fell asleep (#both) and I don’t remember any of what happened besides the hoodie and the kangaroo.

Jude Law as the young pope is a total gangster and he knows it. The man is a bare-knuckle street brawler whose ring just happens to be the Holy See. The man also has an incredible wardrobe that stays impossibly clean.

i fucking love this show. jude law is incredible. young pope in a hoodie is a real hottie. i love how smug he is and i love how he wants to fuck shit up.

More like “Bitch Pope.” It’s like a Cherry Coke Zero commerical shot by Fellini, and I am HERE FOR IT, especially if there’s a kangaroo callback joke each week. I’m also thoroughly enjoying watching YP try to train his assistant to not be terrible. “Time for your snack, Young Pope.” Bwahaha.

I keep almost calling it “Hot Pope”

All I kept thinking the whole time I was watching was how enjoyable it was just to stare at Jude Law and his fake tan. Plus we got to see his booty in the first 5 minutes.

It’s either that, or she will attempt to seduce him and fail.

It’s the marketing director. Pretty much telegraphed with that, “You are an extraordinarily handsome man, your Holiness” line followed by various smoldering looks.

I am calling it right now young Pope bangs the Vatican marketing director. Or Diane Keaton.
