"Finally, we can put to rest the falsehood that audiences don’t want to see female characters. We never believed that was true."

To be perfectly honest, the more the internet and social media make anyone and everyone's thoughts on a particular film widely available, the more I crave an old-school, trained film critic with deep knowledge of the medium's history and/or the technical side of the art form (this goes double for books, maybe triple).…

My point is that in the old days, players kicked ass despite the drugs they were taking, not because of them.

The Alda Center's science communication workshops are absolutely amazing.

I thought people called Corey Hawkins, who played Dre, wooden? Regardless, Jason Mitchell, who played E, was far and away the best thing in that movie and I'm always excited when he turns up in something new.

I guess what I'd say is that the point is that you should not need to feel sympathy for someone to believe they deserve human rights. Dixon and Humps and the rest absolutely are unrepentant criminals. But we can't demand humane treatment for only "the good ones." That's meaningless.

No!

I have zero sympathy for Dixon. He is human garbage. But I fundamentally believe that he is owed basic human rights regardless of being a piece of shit. As is everyone.

No!

To kill ourselves.

It should be buy-oh-pick.

Back in the day when ballplayers took performance diminishing substances …

I'm sure there must be a strategy to capture new readers who are binge watchers looking for answers to questions or help understanding something. As regular readers and commenters, we are not super valuable from an advertising perspective.

Not gonna happen.

I don't see this as the guards being framed sympathetically. I see it as really unsubtly but effectively driving home how easy it is to shrug off brutally inhumane treatment that happens to people because they are categorized by society as "bad." Society by and large shrugs at the shameful state of our prison system…

It's a real thing. One of my friends went through a phase of obsessively reading about it. Not doing it. Or even going to it. Just reading about it.

Yeah Sophia presented it to him as, Humps brought a gun inside, freaked out, someome shot him to prevent further danger. The guy is a pro. Probably sees fucked up shit all the time. I'm sure he knows that something way out of the ordinary is going on, but he probably also just wants to do his job and not make waves…

Yeah I am NOT enjoying this at all. I feel so much pressure to watch really fast so I don't miss out on the best discussions, but then I feel like I'm missing stuff. It's a mess.

When will Alex ditch Piper forever? Every time there's a scene of them together I just want to shake Alex. What is she thinking?!?!?!?

This being OitNB and MCC being what it is, she will learn valuable lessons and then immediately have her newfound desire to be a better person crushed under the boot of the prison industrial complex.
