ah yes...this is about that mysterious organization with 1 member, right?

at this point, who is left?

yeah, it probably is. from the responses i have received here, i feel like i should give it a second look (and in full), then report back. but from what i have seen thus far (and knowing the way things go in the states when it comes to understanding the commentary on the present by way of dystopian past/present…

my comments are not just focused on casting, and that race is a minor plot element goes toward my point: it is only that way bc the primary focus is that of a group of people whom we are to focus our energies, the main characters, are part of a group that, in real life, DID feel victory at home after the war. what is…

i noted the apa actors in my comments.

i am not quite sure where your intense investment in this show lies, but whatever it may be, congrats on your fervor.

as i said in a comment below (same thread), my criticism goes a lot deeper than casting. and the show is cheesy, sorrynotsorry.

given, not very far. i stopped around ep 3. that said, my commentary, however, is more about the blurred lines between this fiction presented in the show and some people’s post-WWII reality. considering how much people (esp on the right) love to bring up WWII and its historical villains, this kind of show will only…

literacy, reading, it’s all fundamental. so the fact that you somehow read yet missed that my entire comment was about the show and that i even gave credit to the book potentially being great is beyond me.

they won’t. just like they don’t realize the political messages in the hunger games or any other dystopian protest film coming out (the time is now, folks), they will see this as a moment to be thankful that the germans and the japanese did not win america’s favorite war. the thoughts will not go beyond that. trust.

exactly. whether he wins or not is irrelevant if people are already suffering the consequences of his presence. political writers also dismissed the tea party and look where we are now.

i tried watching the show the other day. i am sure the phillip k. dick book is great, but the show itself is an ahistorical, cheesy mess. i know, i know, it’s fiction and yes, it’s supposed to be that kind of “what if” story that people love to ponder, but i can’t get over the fact that ridley “white brits as ancient…

not entirely. nyu undergrads have mentioned multiple examples of harassment via yik yak, facebook, and in person from other students (and faculty). even if started by someone who may not be a student, the ideas on the page represent the way some students feel and have expressed through acts of racism, xenophobia, and…

they are not really “pranks.” the act was encouraged by white supremacist groups and some of the pages were started by actual students at these institutions. there are over 35 now on facebook (and that was just as of early this morning). they also come at a time in direct response to anti-racist activism on campuses…

p.s. left out of this piece is a significant timeline:

the current list on fb, as of around 2am this morning (until i gave up from being too tired) is as follows:

people *did* write about the problem of having blackface in the film though...

cool...*kind of* like you can do in many other countries (not just in europe, but many in latin america, sans prescription) already. the u.s. is long overdue for something like this. hopefully they will soon join other nations where no prescription is needed at all.

i guess all these people missed the bit of news that some of the attackers in the paris incident were from belgium and france...

you are right, though he could have come down harder on the gov.
