Well. Next week promises to be a difficult one for Kara and Mon-el, so…

Certainly much more seamless than the Gossip Girl Vitamin Water

Disappointed not to see a review for Hurray for Riff Raff's Navigator, it is a spectacular achievement

I felt weirdly disappointed when Rip walked back onto the bridge, like my PTSD from the terrible first season was triggered, lol. I do hope that he stays in a subordinate position to Sara who has been so much more compelling as Captain (mostly because everything about the Vandal Savage storyline was so tiresome, and…

Renata's jumpsuit during the birthday party was everything.

O man I hope so, can't WAIT for naked writhing Archie tied to a stake

I love her so much. Her brilliance in these types of roles has been criminally undervalued for years. Find some clips of her as Carrie Fairchild on Central Park West, they are life.

the melissa benoist resemblance is truly uncanny tho, yeah? (& I keep seeing Holland Roden in Madelaine Petsch).

White mediocrity dominates again. (& yes I know Apa isnt actually)

I could go for a really twisted twincesty moment where Cheryl fucks her image of Arch as Jason.

I am feeling relatively indifferent but not opposed to Bughead.

FABULOUS monsters. O man, now I miss Secret Circle.

aka Mrs. Van Der Woodsen and Mr. Humphrey.

And w/ the gaze, I'd say Arrow and Legends maybe even moreso than Supergirl, even if it's been a few seasons since Oliver had a good gratuitous workout sequence.

The kind of deregulation of markets you're taking about is supported by discourses of diversity and inclusivity that are just about commodification

I mean capital's seemingly endless capacity to appropriate and commodify and mainstream the experiences of marginalized bodies to reinforce a mythology of progress while continuing to rely upon perpetuation of structural oppression including of LGBT people

& Hermione and Fred are very callback to Rufus and Lily on GG

O totally. I keep thinking about KJ repping this Bruce Weberian ideal of "all American" masculinity, and I'm like—does this expose the fundamental lie at the core of our culture's controlling mythologies? … or is it "color blindness" as racial erasure… &, or…. I dunno what to make of it, but it's fascinating.…
