Adena may be a 'muslim lesbian living in today's America' but Kat is a black woman who was about to be arrested in an America where black individuals get shot by police for jaywalking... I would've liked to hear her argue that counter point.
3.4/10. Woof. That was pretty awful. I think it was a bad idea for me to have watch the O.J. Simpson: Made in America documentary before watching this, because in the shadow of that stark, stellar series exploring OJ's life, the trial, and the state of race relations in Los Angeles and around the country, this dramatization just comes off like a bad soap opera. The acting is hammy if not outright laugh-worthy, and the dialogue is downright horrible, with clumsy expositional statements. Sarah Paulson is doing the best she can to polish a turd; John Travolta is doing...something, and Cuba Gooding Jr. has occasional compelling emotional moments when he doesn't have to spit out those horrid lines, but overall I've never seen so many decent actors come off so poorly. Whoever decided to tell the story this way was supremely misguided.
The best you can say for this out of the gate is that there seems to be a fidelity in the look of the characters and to the details of the major events (like the forensic investigator not wearing gloves), and that the Kato Kaelin character is pretty amusing, but man was this a slog to get through. Just bad plotting (in terms of what they focus on and how they depict it), bad acting, and bad dialogue almost entirely across the board. Again, bad soap opera is the best description that comes to mind.
i know a lot of yall are hoping for Even next season and the main reason ive seen so far is "representation for mental illness and lgbt" (which is literally what this season was) but even tho my ass is sapphic as fuck, i think im all done with white gays for now. having my fingers crossed for our lord and savior sana
UPDATE APRIL 10, 2017: HELL TO THE YES!! SHE GOT IT!! MY GIRL!! HELL YES
Pretty good episode. The prepper trope is one that I enjoy but I this isn't a great rendition of said trope. Not bad though. The whole relationship they've got going with Sherlock and the neurally atypical girl is fantastic. I was worried it would just be a weird one off and never come back up in the story. I was way wrong - not only it it coming back up, but Sherlock is actually being made to fight for her. Totally unexpected romance that is just about the best sub-plot going right now.
at this point i'm just hatewatching................
Justice for Sansa. D&D are the worst.
Frakking worst, most useless episode ever!!! Hated every part of it!!!
This was disgusting. R*pe is not a plot device. It's disgusting and lazy writing.
Worst episode of the season, and probably of the whole series.
good episode. bit dated but I love that marshmallow has become a regular and she and bob clearly have a thing :blush:
I hope Ford faked his death with a Host version of himself.
William: Please Logan, even though I'm engaged to your sister, please help me take my sex robot home with me.
I am rewatching the whole series. I do not know if the writers had their Gossip Girl in mind from the start, but I think I've seen a pretty good hint in this episode! Wonder if that conitnious during the rest of the show :)
That beginning and ending tho... Enjoyed this a lot more than the first episode.
And we're only on episode 2 and Victor is already annoying me so much.
I have a very hard time accepting that Gallinger was able to exchange the ampules that easily twice without anyone seeing it.
Hence I can't accept this absurdness of his scheme. Lackluster and disappointing in a show with an otherwise rather good eye on detail.
Boring ass episode if you ask me, what is wrong!!
The opening scene was like ... WOW ...
looking forward to the next episodes!
Too much unnecessary complacency on the rape scenes (via TVShow for WP)
The show was so much more interesting when it was about life in the highlands instead of the cruelties of one man. :|
If Vanessa keeps cutting her thumbs open, she should at least have bandages all over her fingers by now.
