#MeToo is one of the finalists.

I’m team Fiona on this one.
Churches really aren’t that great as shelters. They can only be set up as very temporary housing and there are all kinds of privacy issues that would be compounded by the age of the clients in this case. It’s just not the right kind of environment for what they’re trying to achieve, so I’m…

All right Kayla. Tell me how Claire could have saved the slave in a way that would fit your perfect 21st century liberal view? (btw, I’m as bleeding heart 21st c as they come, but I’m also an historian and a pragmatist). They bought him to save him and were always going to free him but Jamie *is* right- running around…

The fundamental flaw of this review is that it judges a woman of 1968 and and a man of 1767 by the standards of 2017.

Of course Clare’s narration features a bias toward the British colonialist first world/third world view. She is a product of that society. Of course Clare and Jamie would take advantage of the human…

Claire wasn’t referring to non-white cultures as primitive, she was referring to European colonial culture as primitive.

There’s an element of the Fiona/Ian/overall South Side issue that the show isn’t confronting and I’m not sure it ever will. It’s just so uncomfortable but...if you’ve grown up on the “wrong side of the tracks” and then you get away from it, you see how your former way of life isn’t sustainable and is often unsafe.…

Also, would it really have been better if the characters reacted indifferently to slavery? Or if the show ignored the reality of slavery at that time altogether?

Claire is on the correct side of the racial fence. I just don’t understand what you and Kayla expect Claire to have done in this scenario. Make a grand speech about how racism is wrong? Talk about Abraham Lincoln and MLK? Risk death or imprisonment? Make the authorities aware of Jamie’s presence in Jamaica? Again, the…

In this situation, it seems you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. You either do what this episode did, and bring on that type of criticism, or ignore the slavery issue altogether, which would probably draw worse ire.

Except the Wonder Woman animated movie came out 7 years before Rebirth, so Geoff Johns probably took it from there too.

Lol. Women can’t be interested in something if there’s no penis involved!

The pictures of that fat tortoise smugly grinning after he pulled off the tax heist was truly nauseating. McConnell is a disgusting scumbag.

We all do.

On another note, who’s fucking stupid idea was it to make the president immune to criminal charges?

Should have told him that you weren’t worried about your salvation because your religion was the original, not some cheap knock-off.

This entire conversation calls out for a classic joke from Emo Phillips that is all too appropriate here:

Hell, they were the first Christians, before all the different sects of Protestantism went “I’ll form my own church! With blackjack! And divorce!”

*Note: Wentworth Miller isn’t the only openly gay one in that duo. Russell Tovey is also out and proud so each of the gay people in that couple is play by an actor who is also gay.

Yeah Star Trek really crowbars that in awkwardly (this aint yo mamas trek)

You know, it’s time to put my money where my mouth is. I just went and bought a year’s subscription to the Washington Post, for $120, which is a measly $10 a month. It’s not just to get access to their content: it’s to support their work. We’re all benefitting from what they do, and if we like it, we should support…
