Spielberg’s grandparents were Ukrainian Jews. I’m not disputing that Spielberg makes “white” films, it’s just interesting how someone who is absolutely excluded from whiteness by the alt-right hasn’t let his own otherness filter into his films, now that he can basically make whatever the hell he wants. It may have…

SIDEBAR: and I bet his racist foot soldier was just told to go home until shit cools off and they’re probably still getting paid, too.

He and Archie are selling Christmas trees just to make a buck,

I feel your pain. We’ve all been there.

As somebody who has taught American history, this headline made me laugh: like, yes, EXACTLY. The second amendment was a protection instituted for slave states, who all had laws on the books requiring all adult white men to be armed at all times in order to respond to slave revolts. There was this hugely important…

Probably should have done it when people weren’t around though.

The problem here is that the CW is incapable of treating disability as a lived identity that has to deal with various levels of discrimination. On the CW, all people with disabilities have to fall into cliched categories like the supercrip, who “overcomes” their disability to achieve amazing things, or the…

Esparza was my one true ADA.

In Hollywood, actresses are routinely pressured to do nudity and sex scenes that they do not want do, in ways that male actors in comparable positions are not. Additionally, actresses are significantly underpaid for doing the same or more work than actors. Both these things are part of the larger structural bias…

Oh, this comment needs way more love.

Cheryl’s behavior always reads as borderline personality disorder to me. Was there ever a hint last season that Cheryl experienced childhood sexual abuse? Then again, the emotional abuse she experienced from her parents was probably sufficient to damage her this badly.

“I think it’s the last gasp of a certain breed of dinosaur that’s on the way out, and let them kick and scream as they go.”

I guess Iris is over her crush on Oliver

This would be an amazing plot. But I’m pretty sure they established last season that the angels and demons come with their own bodies—they don’t need to “ride” anyone. God and Goddess, however, seem to be some form of pure energy that require a human host to interact with others on earth.

Possession is a really intriguing idea!

LaToya’s review is dead-on concerning the Sinnerman— in itself it’s a really fun performance, but it falls short of the expectations built up around the character as string-pulling supervillain. Almost as if the Sinnerman has simply been a front man for another mastermind entirely.

Thought he would’ve swapped clothes with that cop and escaped, but didn’t expect this.

I think the only way it makes sense is that Caitlin has dissociative identity disorder

Like hey Native Girl stop being so mad about the systemic destruction and desecration of your culture. And then it ending with (Dibney and Wells) like you know what the problem is? White Men don’t love themselves enough. That laid me out.

Yeeeeaaaaah...I know many commenters loved this ep, and that’s great. But the writing was extremely weak. And it felt in some ways like a script written by someone unfamiliar with the show. The girls were both very charming, and the sisterly bonding was sweet, but the story was just very fillerish to me.
