I wonder if there's any chance this is a regional thing or targeted advertising online? The main poster art I've seen everywhere the lead's got a rainbow halo and it seems like that's kind of reasonable shorthand but I don't know if they play up the Irish Catholic side of things elsewhere.

I still don't get that line since I thought they went on to clarify that guy wasn't a Nazi/Hydra so he wouldn't have eugenics on the mind?

While there have been instances where John Boyega is apparently omitted from posters for The Force Awakens, which is obviously awful, I wonder why this also means that Chinese people apparently enjoy not seeing any Asian people on screen or it's essentially a glorified cameo from a starlet who doesn't get speaking

The Weasley Twins went into infamy for the pranks and brand that they created right? They did permanently alter the environ of the school by adding an indoor swamp.

I thought that might be a faulty recall of the Castors, they do soundalike?

I've heard that Rami Malek tested for the role and I still have no idea if that was remotely serious or if they really liked him that much to consider it.

As far as I know, the Asian one's actually the Black one. (Then the black guy's the nerd/Blue one and I think they're keeping all the original character names even though I'm pretty sure the Yellow one is not actually a Vietnamese actress…?)

I feel like there are a lot of alternate lines in the clean versions that are better than their explicit counterparts. (Like I can't even remember what the line is in the explicit one but in I Give Good Parent I absolutely love the clean version's "DTF but understand me, it means I'm 'Dazzling The Family'")

It took me a couple reads to determine what sense of the word "black" was used here since I wondered if there were an off chance this was going to end up being much darker tonally than the ads suggested.

I was under the impression the word queer has been reappropriated by the community by now? But yeah I guess that is another one of those situations where both groups have managed to carve out antithetical positions from each other.

Well I don't think there is a lack of talent, but it's not like there's a huge pool of actors given a shot at exceptionally meaty roles. (I've enjoyed Constance Wu as far back as some of her one-off guest appearances in TV shows and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend reminded me that Disney Princess Lea Salonga is practically

I've actually been digging The Real O'Neals. (And I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been reviewed here other than a lump of the first couple episodes. I mean it seemed like even Superstore is getting reviews from the finale onward?)

Huh, it's interesting everything I hear about Schwimmer seems to be pretty cool, yet at least retroactively Ross is the friend that it seems like everyone hates.

I think I missed the bits of Friends where any of them dated ethnic minorities other than Amy Wong from Futurama, but are there really not that many black nerdy girls on TV?

I've been wondering if part of the joke was they got a clearly non-Japanese Asian guy to remember a song from his childhood or if that's giving the show too much credit.

I'm increasingly convinced that complaining every time strategy really is going to have to be it though.

There are tons of Asian people pissed off that there are so few Asians in pop culture, it's just this had the bad timing of being fresh in people's minds, after coming out in close proximity to the promotional material where three major Asian characters were played by white (or otherwise not Asian) people. (and maybe

This episode confused me a little since I honestly didn't have much issue with Jackie Lynn being played by a white woman since Krakowski came first and they made some relatively pointed comments about it in the first place that aren't at the expense of the minority.

I feel for Martha since I think like the majority of her appearances after leaving do support her decision.

Oh wow, I was utterly convinced this whole time that Chibnall was one of the other controversial writers. He was involved with a lot of the times when Torchwood was particularly awful but I thought 42 and The Power of 3 were fairly okay. (They're both at least kind of fun gimmicks even if I can't remember the endings.)
