Howard sounds like the people bitching about a black stormtrooper. |

Who the ---fudgesicle--- obsesses over (or is bothered by) a characters hair color or their probabilities of adoption? Like Opt I went into it without seeing anything previously. I figured they'd explain the family situation over time, I certainly wasn't distracted by it at all. I agree the miraculous (good & bad) events steering the story to an unnatural point is something it suffered from throughout but you just have to go with it. Being heroic while staying within the confines of complete believability is a tricky line to walk, I'd rather they error on the side of believability than be boring. The casting was spot on, Parker Posey walked that good/bad/sympathetic line perfectly. |

You'll notice that in my original post I didn't even mention it. It doesn't "bother" me at all, but it was glaringly distracting. The other post was just to defend Da OldMan as his view is 100% correct. There is such a thing as diversity for diversity's sake and it needs to stop. Every aspect of a character has to make sense and be organic to the plot if you want to make a quality product. Black Panther had next to no white people in it and you know what? It was great, I have no problem with that because it made perfect sense in regards to how that film is written and the context of the characters of that world. If a similar film had been written in the same context only it was a country of isolated white people, there would have been cries from the left about lack of diversity. Keep in mind that I am on the left and even I can see it happening to the point of where it is getting annoying. We can have a tv family with just white folks in it, just like Black-ish is a tv family with just black folks in it and Fresh off the Boat can be a family with just Asians in it. Sorry but anyone that thinks otherwise is just kidding themselves. Throwing a non-white character in when it doesn't make sense is just lazy writing.... I've begrudgingly accepted the fact that this is just a fad we are going to have to deal with for a while but honestly you guys should expect better. |

OK guys, didnt mean to start something here, was just wondering... Now Judy does tell West that John Robinson wasnt her father or was there after she was born. (Cant recall exactly what she said but it was to that affect.) Anyway, they dont go much deeper than that, so I gathered that maybe June (Mrs. Robinson) was either married before John or had a wild fling. Maybe her first husband died and John appeared to help her out. But they could save a lot of guessing and trying to come at a reasonable explanation if they had just laid it out at first. Heck the first season is over and there are still no definite answers. It doesnt matter anyway, dont waste time trying to figure that out. I have watched the whole season and liked it pretty good. I wont go much more into it out of fear of spoiling it for you who havent watched it yet. |
