I expect it to also feature Everlasting somehow reprehensibly twisting the story to shift the blame away from themselves and make it look like they did something heroic instead of causing Romeo to be shot. Because there has to be a heavy dose of horrible, or it wouldn't be UnREAL.

Setting up a police stop for Black men? Way the fuck worse.

Exactly. All of this falls on Rachel (well, and Coleman) for making this happen.

Considering that she just got physically abused by Jeremy a couple of episodes ago, her reaction seemed completely understandable to me. I can understand you having sympathy for him, but mostly I wanted him to get the fuck away from her when she super obviously couldn't handle being touched.

I could be wrong, but I personally want to grade the episode with an incomplete. The next episode absolutely has to have a ton about Darius and Romeo and their perspective on things. Honestly, I'm hoping that will be pivotal to the entire rest of the season. It needs to be.

Well, the complaint isn't that you shouldn't show "some version" of what other people experience, it's that white writers and producers who depict black people suffering for white audiences are failing to depict the black experience well. And yes, if you can't do inclusion right, you're probably telling the wrong…

There was a piece ( http://wearyourvoicemag.com… ) that refers to this show, and this season in particular, as trauma porn about black people by white people and for white people.

Heigl has lead actress looks, Shiri Appleby doesn't. Unfortunately, that matters.

It's not true for most other movies. But with Guardians, people were having so much fun watching the team banter and get into misadventures that it threw the pacing off to include the additional material on Ronan and Nebula that they'd shot.

I guess? I just don't know.

Or has Lieutenant Barclay just programmed their likenesses into the holodeck?

Apparently, it's not "some ambitious filmmakers" so much as pathologically obsessive Trek fans who wanted to make fan films as a way of playing out that obsession.

I'm pretty sure the exposure among people who can actually benefit someone's filmmaking career is going to be pretty minimal regardless.

From what I understand, there was a lot more story for Ronan and Nebula, but all it did was slow down a propulsive movie where audiences loved the heroes so much that nobody minded that the villains played like an afterthought.

So you think it should be perfectly fine for a company to just hang a sign on the door that says "We don't hire black people?"

But O- is also universal donor blood you can use for anyone. You can give O- to someone with AB-, for example.

Major has enormous reasons for holding a grudge after everything. Major is also now going down a terrible path of doing horrible things what would lead Liv or anyone else to blame him.

I kinda feel like I got more than my fill of that in the last episode.

I didn't feel like it was in "very special episode" territory. Thank the heavens I never did something as dumb and horrific as kill someone when drunk driving at 15, but if I had, speaking out in schools and warning other kids would seem like a very human response to the situation.
