First, I wrote an article on "Black. White." for SMRT-TV.com and das kapitan, [livejournal.com profile] lizlet. Believe The Hype!

And after all that soul searching and gnashing of teeth, Liz accepted your "Black. White." article as was! Bling ending and all!

I deleted one paragraph, the one about the new stereotypes and the difference between Brian's experiences w/racism and his son's? It was too complicated a thought to cram into one paragraph so I told Liz I'd cover it in the next article after the series is over.

Guess who gets to help!?!?interbang!

Great article! The show sounds delightfully mockable. I've been wary of watching because it seemed too contrived (from the promos) to have any sort of "learned" outcome other than: Yeah. We're different. Who'da thunk.

It IS delightfully mockable! In the way where you have to cover your FACE sometimes it's so embarassing, but also SO absurd! You should watch!

cool article, E. for some reason it will make me hugely sad if Bruno never sees anything beyond what he's decided he'll see. I mean, I haven't seen the show. Just from your article.

Me too, Bruno's sort of heartbreaking that way. Because Carmen and Rose are learning so much! But honestly, Renee makes me just as sad, she isn't even inerested in being INTERESTED. *sigh*

There's three more eps to go, I'll keep you apprised.

Oh, awesome. Going to read now!

(By the way, I kind of want you to write ALL of those posts.)

my vote is for none of the above! I want the "4 right-wing dramas that I can't stop watching post" you promised (well, mentioned) in january. and barring that, I can't decide between Jesus/Judas and Remix.

and you totally pwn the internets!! SMRT indeed. I wanna talk to you about Black.White (or write a post about it, sometime), because I think it is poignant and complex and compelling and powerful and all these things, but also that in other ways it fails, deeply and painfully. I mean, maybe that was your point.

I miss you horribly. why are you never on IM? cybersex!
