UNOSEZ

I loved how incredibly insane our world sounds compared to Hillary-world... If you dropped somebody from 2015 into today and gave them a rundown of everything their head would spin and think we've gone mad.... I also loved how people are still people... Cancer may be cured but we still find ways to complain... I also liked the political reality squashing #metoo.. It was jarring and sad.. But probably very honest, tho, as was the corporate difficulties right after a tax hike... Don't get me wrong I do support these issues but I'm not blind to the fact that in the beginning there would be pain for some corps... I wish alt-luca would said what happened with weinstein to someone... Can't wait for the rest of the season

Boo to any scylla redemption... Unless it's weeks after she's found out and only to help not to get back with Raelle... Speaking of Raelle... While like many I'm glad her and Abigail are in a better place.. And I get that as a leader she's trying to do her part.. But so far none of this has been on Abigail... Raelle was shitty from the moment she knew she was a bellweather... She's the one who ditched training to smooch her terrorist every reaction by Abigail has been because of direct action of Raelle's... And she's the one doing the heavy lifting of being nice and trying to keep it together... I don't love that

Tally has an infectious personality.. But its also kinda intense and scary/ creepy... I really hope were almost done with this scylla arc... I can't stand to see people gaslighted it frustrates to no end... Alder seems to want to keep everyone away from the sect of witches who have new spells.. I'm guessing she knew of them before in " the old country"... Like with every other show that has to do with witchcraft I hope at some point they delve past the eurocentric and look at witch culture from all over... Sensed a good amount of hostility tween Alder and the bellweather mom... Also the drill seargent seemed antagonistic towards her as well... Be interested in getting the lowdown on that situation

The expanse is really good... But I binged it on its premier day... So I guess its back to the cw.... Ah well.. Besides the horrible Spanish.. I was happy kyle said something to Liz.. In fact I wish he had been more forceful with her.. Especially for the kiss... Tv shows too many times make it seem like ppl are oblivious to others feelings... Come on Liz didn't realize Kyle still had some feelings?... If I was Kyle.. Even knowing all he knows about how she feels for max and was still willing to help by stealing and lying ( he's gaslighting his mother for Peters sake) and she had the nerve to not only Kiss me.. But then act like it was no big deal.. Then act like she was in the dark... Oh man...

And of she's with child.. Whether she knows it or not.. Having a mixed-race/mixed-species kid grow up on a reservation may be for the best.. Isolated away from a wildly racist world.. And in a community that has some deep rooted spiritually which could conceal alien stuff

I don't have a history with the previous show or what it was based off of.. Bit from the comments of seems Maria was more important as a character in previous iterations... That said seeing the black characters sidelined on a sci-fi/ Genre show has basically been my entire life experience and most definitely if we are talking about anything from Julie Plec ( or her creative "family ") .. Who destroyed Bonnie Bennett.. Consistently needed Marcel and Vincent... Killed like all of Elijah's black girlfriends... And let's not get started on Rafael.... I'm still holding out hope that Maria is tied to this Louise character and can be a part of the story... I saw upthread someone thought maybe this new lady Stephanie could be the descendant.. And while she may be alien... I don't see these showrunners touching on blackness in the Latinx community so if there is to be a descendant... Which at least feels like the way it was going... Especially as we didn't actually see what happened to the little boy or Louise or Bronson... I still feel Maria makes the most sense

Not looking fwd to Maddie and the new guy... couldn't they have found a nice Indian or native American.. Or Asian... Or any other minority.... Did we need Maddie again chasing after some idealistic white guy... I feel like I just made this complaint on the charmed boards... Smh

Tommy told the daughter herself... Who at first seemed ok.. Then all of a sudden said.. She could do something if she wanted to.. But wouldn't...

Could be that's a plothole.. Or they'll have a decent explanation....

Man.. The daughter was turning the corner... And maybe if what the husband did was some other type of crime I'd give her some leeway, but old buddy cheated on you with a Pro... You can't be upset when mommy( who you just stopped actively hating other seems) wants to keep her distance.... But overall I guess it's still in character... She's still got serious stuff to unpack with her mom.. And was just getting stuff right with her man ( shout out to whoever it was upthread who asked of there are anymore black on black relationships on tv anymore.. Ill add the caveat of the show not being targeted at us minorities) so add it all up her being big mad was disappointing but not surprising.... The husband tho??? What was that

Let's also remember that when Nora came out the ship... The hoodie Alien who went all firestarter... Could be even tho they crashed together they weren't all that close a bit of a " all skinfolk ain't kinfolk" situation and if there are less than amiable alien folks out there it's probably good to let ur part alien descendants have some protection... Even if you have to hide it as warding off "evil" when it really is some kind of last measure against violent aliens

I don't know the creators and showrunners the way some of y'all seem to... But if we've all kinda agreed that it seems like Maria is some part alien... Which I gathered from some of the crumbs TPTB left out... Y'all are really saying they still put Maria and Michael together knowing full well shes his family?

Man.. Some of y'all really can't stand the show huh... I really enjoyed the epi... Minus the teddy stuff... Didn't she have all of Maggie's cases for the day how'd she have all that time to pine with Tom... Only to turn around and rush into owen.... I really liked owen and Link together ( both have been good all season) I liked their interactions and the case...

If that's the case I think it ties in to what I was saying upthread.. That.. If Gaius Charles' character and the other alien( presumably Max/Izzy mom) had a kid.. It would have had to be extra careful.. For it was doubly exposed.. Alien and mixed race.. So maybe to avoid awkwardness or just an abundance of caution.. Alien type things got discussed as spiritualness.. Kinda the way the slaves of brasil diaguised fight training as dance and it became capoeira... So alien know how gets passed down from max/izzy half sibling... To mimi... To Maria.. At least that's my headcanon until the show lays it out...

Yeah I remember Lazy playing Cuban on.. That breakout kings show... And on her accent I get you.. I grew up in Brooklyn mainly around dominicans & puerto Ricans.. At least when it came to Spanish speakers there were other countries in the Latin American circle.. But most of those folks identified as west Indian more so than Latinx.... So when I went to Cali for the first time and heard the folks there speaking Spanish... It sounded like a diff language

The way I explain it to ppl who don't know about colorism or just Afro-Latinx folks in general is to tell them hypothetically go back in time 200 years or so... This person would or wouldn't be free.. This person would or wouldn't have restricted access to things based on their skin and genetic makeup/ appearance ( as folks who can pass have "fooled" many of those systems) Jeanine would most def fall into the Free category... Didn't know the sheriff wasn't Mexican -American... Tho don't recall her ever emphasizing her accent( Presuming she has one) is she at least central American descent?... I knew the actress playing Rosa was Native American at least on her dad's side as he's an actor as well... I think she just did well with the audition.. Looks so much like the lead.. And I guess genetically there is some overlap tween our native Americans here in the US and the folks in Mexico... And what's really wild is... On lots of modern Mexican shows Rosa and Liz would be the darker more ethnic looking actors compared to all the blue/green eyed euro looking actors on the screen... That ethno European/white supremacy/ standard of beauty runs deeeeeeeeep

Oh.. I kinda took that to mean max on some level was connecting to the Aliens in prison or somewhere else

An Afro Latino would be an inspired choice.. But the nuances and subtleties around that... Dunno how much I trust the show... Cuz an afro- Dominican or Afro- puerto Rican here in brooklyn.. Prob has a diff Outlook than say an Afro-peruvian or Afro-Mexican in the south west.... Still colorism in all of our minority communities is something that should be explored a bit.. Tho the CW as a network doesnt exactly have a shining record in that regard...

I thought the sheriff was Kyle's aunt.. Hell we may need a chart to properly explain all family/ platonic/ sexual relationships on this show and how they criss-cross

Great Blue God Beebo no.. Plz.. He's still part of The sleepy hollow season that made me want to nuke Hollywood for its treatment of the main Actress who again was a WOC... I'd prefer into to see that again... And lest we forget he was the creepy not-brother on One tree hill ( looking back not sure why my parent let me watch that at my young age).... I know bringing anyone else is just a pit stop to the inevitable max/Liz reunion... And bringing in a MOC to just evwntually lose the Love Interest to the white knight is infuriating yet par for the course on the network... I still rather have a MOC play the ex as long as he's not some super bitter bad guy.. In fact I'd prefer of he remained sympathetic and made Liz look like a Jerk for a bit.. Then I guess move on or something I dunno... At least we'd get an IR relationship that involved just minorities... Because you know it does happen... My dating history is proof of that

Geesh now that I think about it... A Mixed-Race/Mixed-species kid growing up and becoming a YA right when were going to the moon... Knowing their half -siblings( possibly cousins.. If mike's mom and Max& Izzy's moms are sisters) are out there maybe being tested on by the same govt that makes you sit on the back of the bus... Hell that would be an interesting show to watch...

I agree and it feels like the series is pointed that way.. Just based on the limited interactions of Maria/Isobel... If I had to guess Gains Charles' character helps both women... Obviously a black dude with two blondes in 1947 is gonna be cautious so he helps them get better.. Maybe even start to assimilate in some ways. ( wasn't he in the picture with Mike's mom on the microfiche) falls in love with the one who he helps nurse back to health... Little nightingale scenario... She falls pregnant... While helping out mike's mom is recognized and snatched... The couple thanks to anti-miscegenation laws go even deeper underground... And whatever kid/kids they have are maria's grandparent... Already wary thanks to being mixed race in the 50's-60's and being half alien keeps to self eventually has kid (Mimic) but doesn't give away too much of history so wraps up all possible alien like issues as psychic/spiritual stuff.. Mimic carries it on and passes it to Maria

I was in an ER in Georgia talking to my little brother about some medical stuff and I guess our NY/ West Indian accents were evident and this 50ish white guy walks up to us to complain about " Us coastals and our Obamercare (how he pronounced it) " so as clunky ad it may have been some folks really do just blurt it out like that

Good episode.. Count me among those happy Maria found out the truth.. She deserves to be angry. But I hopeots not her major mode for the forseeable future... I am interested tho... If the other alien is indeed Max and Isobel's mom.. If she ended up shacked up with that black guy and had kids.. Might that be Mariana ancestors... Might tie in why her and her mom seem to have residual powers... Plus her mom always seems to be in all white just like the folks who landed... Would mean Maria max and Isabel are related

Oh yeah Alex and Flint don't "look just like each other" that's just wild tv hyperbole.... Tho on this show where we have Jeanne Mason and Amber Midthunder playing siblings... It feels extra silly
