Yes I watch Vikings! I still haven’t watched the second half of the latest season (waiting for it to be available on amazon prime).

It’s not like it’s just a list of names, at least the CA one isn’t. It gives you their age, the year of conviction, a description of the crime, etc. Here are some descriptions I grabbed from my area (ugh):

Medici has been on my watchlist for months now, but now I’m afraid to watch it due to all the reviews here on Jez. Is it worth the time? I watched all of the Tudors, the White Queen, Borgias AND The Borgias, Last Kingdom, Outlander, and Versailles (jeezus do I like my period dramas). How does Medici compare?

I’m watching it! I was kinda meh on it until last night. It was fun to watch, but I couldn’t find anyone to really root for. The Bacchanal this week was amazing though.

Oooh! Can I stream it? I binged the White Queen on Amazon Prime, but that was recently, not while it aired.

That reminds me of the Borgias show! Not the Showtime one with Jeremy Irons, but the European one with that guy from the Wire as the Pope. Oh man. Everyone on that show had different European accents (British, French, Italian, German), and his was so distractingly American. It was hilarious. And delightful!

Yes, this what pisses me off the most. Why is any of this a surprise for her. I saw clips from her show last year where her friends are literally telling her that Trump is the worst, and Jenner keeps insisting that Trump would be very good for women and that Hillary is a liar. It was maddening! And it’s not like…

Yeah it’s just so dumb. Especially coming from someone who is supposed to be all educated and enlightened. There’s more than one type of privilege.

I think this paragraph from the article explains the problem with Rachel Dolezal considering herself “transracial” well:

Totally agree. It wasn’t just being outed. It was the fact that Varner was trying to paint him as deceptive due to being trans. In Zeke’s words Varner was trying to “incense bigotry.” That’s what I find most horrible. Letting it slip that was trans would’ve been bad enough, but doing it to play into the other…

And I showed you, he knew it was a possibility, and had a plan prepared. That plan flew out the window when the situation actually presented itself.

Wow, way to victim blame. Yes, Zeke did know that this was a possibility. As he said in the Hollywood Reporter piece:

Thinking back now, I might be confusing the Dan Savage story you’re describing and the dolphin fucker interview Jez did. Wasn’t there also an interview with a woman in a relationship with her dad? Man, so many fucked relationships.

I’m not saying that men dressing up as women for a laugh isn’t just as common amongst other ethnic groups. Whether that’s true or not is beside the point though. Many in the black community interpret Hollywood’s desire with seeing black actors dress as women as a pattern of emasculating the black man. My point is…

If you’re talking about refusing to wear a dress, I mean, Kenan Thompson did a similar thing. He was tired of always playing the black woman in all the sketches, and at a certain point told them they had to hire a black woman because he wasn’t going to do it anymore. It’s a trope (think Martin Lawrence in Big Mama’s…

Yeah, I admit it is pretty gross for taking joy in another’s misfortune, especially in life or death situations like healthcare. But at the same time, considering what Trump plans to do to the environment, women, minorities, immigrants, LGBT, etc., people are pissed. At Trump and the people who gave him the power to…

Iunno. Most people, including myself, were pleasantly surprised to see the unanimous support Zeke received and how they all rushed to defend him. It’s sad that this is the world we live in where being people decent to another person is at all a surprise.

Other than her impressions, Villaseñor doesn’t do anything. I can think of like two sketches where she was the main player, one of which was her just doing a series of impressions. When she’s not relying on her impressions, she comes off as so unnatural . Maybe it’s because I find her voice off-putting and…

I don’t know. It sounds like he knew going into the show that there was always a chance that he’d be outed, and he had prepared for that.

Judging from the video, he was playing into the myth that trans people are deceptive by not revealing their status, trying to convince the other players not to trust Zeke for keeping such a big secret. If he could keep his true identity a secret, think of what else he could be hiding! I also wouldn’t be surprised if…
