You literally took the words right out of my head and off of my computer. I am usually a proponent of the binge as well as a magnificent prognosticator of all things movie and tv related. However, if this had been such, I wouldn’t have taken the opportunity to re-watch the episodes 4-5 times during the week to…

Misha’s accomplishments being underhyped remind me of online discourse earlier this year that asserted the new Candyman movie as Nia DeCosta’s Candyman, as opposed to “Jordan Peele’s Candyman” as it was depicted in promotional material. Like, what does a black woman have to do to get some frickin recognition around…

So wait, I am just supposed to finish out 2020 without more Lovecraft Country and critical thought from Ms. Brooks?! Dear Root, do what you need to do to keep both going, growing, and glowing. HBO, I know you are listening, and I know that there is no sequel to Lovecraft Country the novel, but that territory belongs…

I think some of that is clear in the structure of the magic in LC.

It’s that “fear of entropy / power over life and death” language that is so antithetical to any spiritual truth or non-oppression based living that gives it away. And the purity of Hippolyta’s experience shows an alternative path to “naming magic.”

The…

I have watched a lot of television and film and as a consequence I can usually fifthshadow my way through the entire storyline of things, sometimes in the first 5 minutes, sometimes just from the trailer.

I had to replay I am Blessed twice, the soundstage through a home cinema sounded amazing.

I was right, everybody lost something at the end because Lovecraft magic is always bad.

I had the exact same thought - especially since she saw Leti was bullet-proof and Police-proof due to Christina’s magic as well. I will not be surprised if her own agenda means the apprentice subverts the teacher.

And it would have happened anyway. This wasn’t the first, or even last black community that was massacred. Also, Kinitra even posted a link to the Osage murders, where they (the Oasge) tried to involve law enforcement. So regardless of your using this as some sort of weird example against taking up arms, if the…

yeah, just popped over from the i09 take and...yeah...i’m just gonna read Kinitra’s takes on it from now on. so much more intimate and thoughtful nuance less concerned with typical sci-fi/horror storytelling tropes, and more focused on the meat and gristle of the message.  not to say that Charles’ own critique of the…

Exactly. Being non-violent in the face of extreme violence just means extreme genocide.  It’s not as if they were like, “oh, these people are being peaceful, guess we better stop being so brutal”.

This is definitely one of the better reviews/recaps I’ve read for this show (& great recommendations/references too btw).

 I have really enjoyed your writing. This was a phenomenally well written article. It’s so true. Thank-you for sharing it.

Every time I see Mike Pence I have the same thought.

Beg pardon, but I think those shoes are part of the Matt Gaetz horrorfest.

White male here. Harris was my first choice in the primary, so I was excited when Biden picked her as his VP. Having seen her disassemble witness after witness in various hearings and debates (including Biden in that first debate), I was really looking forward to her taking apart Pence Wednesday night, and I was a…

I don’t watch the debates because I can’t think of a realistic scenario that would make me vote Republican, so why waste my time, but I have to say after reading this article(and if it was already in it, I missed it, sorry,) I had to google and find this delicious cut:

“...the woman in front of him had no right to control him and that the woman to his right did not deserve to be onstage with him.” Because his Bible told him so.
