>Of course I'm wondering if Atticus is gonna try to find >Winthrop's pages and decode the language of Adam. Story line >is fun and intriguing to me.The scene where she was >chanting with the ghosts over Shirley Ceasar was ... oddly >powerful. I love so much of the stuff they're doing here with >making sci-fi of our history and culture. Just such a joy >to watch and appreciate US. During this episode, I found >myself wondering if the show will continue on the strength of >our love alone, because I can see white people hating that >Black people are being shown as protagonsists and themselves >as villains (exact opposte of what they tend to wanna see). I >also came away wondering how any Black person into sci-fi >could possibly NOT like this show. Then I come here lol. I >remember having Game of Thrones recommended to me b/c my homie >wanted to talk about it. It took me like 3 or 4 SEASONS before >that shit was interesting to me. That first season was slow >and boring af. Negros everywhere stuck around for that and >even stanned HARD for it tho. Go figure. >This is us being done right in sci-fi so far. >Brilliant stuff... not just some random BS thrown >together but a very nicely developing storyline with >intelligent Black people figuring their way through things. It >was nice to see Letitia being the one figuring things out this >episode. That's George, Atticus, and now Letitia who have all >shown intelligence and not just been Black clutzes on screen >or having to be saved by white people. You don't see this a >lot when Black people share the screen with white people. I >like that Atticus is always trying to protect Letitia. (uncle >George stopped him when he was about to interfere with her >family business, the policeman stopped him when he wanted to >run to the car from the cabin, he offered to sleep in the >basement and stand watch for her). Only minor knock there is a >lot of his knowledge comes from white folk's military. >Would've liked it if he was just a smart civilian who just >read up. Also thought is was silly of him to not only try to >shoot a damn sorcerer, but a white woman, BUT it did >facilitate her line about killing white women, which is a line >I can appreciate... because with all the magic she has, she knows >being a white woman is one of her most powerful tools. If that >ain't some plain ol' reality for you. > >Anyway, this episode was great imo. As the story builds, I'm >just hoping this stays this good and stays on for many >seasons. It's gonna have to be US who support it tho. > >
