I wonder if the monster at the end is/was Uncle George, somehow.
Oct 09th 2020

It’s funny seeing the OKP “woke” trying to drop knowledge
Oct 10th 2020
255
      Word, your "woke" diss of Black women in reply #23 was wild.
Oct 11th 2020
256
           wild and prophetic
Oct 11th 2020
257
                Black male bashing from Black women producers was a prophecy?
Oct 11th 2020
258
                     I said what I said.
Oct 11th 2020
259
                          That's exactly what incriminates you.

Oct 11th 2020

That was one of the biggest wtfs of the show
Oct 13th 2020
267
and even if it was poor writing, so what?
Oct 13th 2020
268
I feel slightly vindicated in my crit of ep 08.
Oct 13th 2020
270

Its like they tried to cram 20 episodes of material into 10.
Oct 14th 2020
273
funny and true lol...
Oct 18th 2020
276
Nah that wasn't funny
Oct 18th 2020
277
You probably saw yourself in it
Oct 18th 2020
278
      Nah thought Issa would do better
Oct 18th 2020
279
Damn.. SNL is still terrible.
Oct 19th 2020
299
a couple thoughts...
Oct 18th 2020
280
Pretty much loved every episode except the last one
Oct 18th 2020
281
u dont see how a gay back male being the survivor is game changing?
Oct 18th 2020
282
No. I'm listening if you'd like to tell me though.
Oct 18th 2020
283
      well they're usually peripheral characters with no depth written
Oct 18th 2020
284
           I think you're actually describing how they disservice him as a gay
Oct 18th 2020
285
I'm still not sure why he killed the 2-spirited character
Oct 18th 2020
286
Yeah man, I thought there would be more to that as well.
Oct 19th 2020
289
      Yeah it seems like a flimsy subtext to introduce the character
Oct 19th 2020
300
I agree
Oct 19th 2020
288
So post #23 wasn’t completely off base?
Oct 19th 2020
291
23 is an attack on Black women producers in general. Don't lump me
Oct 19th 2020
292
      okayplayer. n/m
Oct 19th 2020
294
was there a reason why her arm didnt heal up?
Oct 19th 2020
297
They didn't really say why from what I saw...
Oct 19th 2020
298
This is the 1st season. No reason to believe Tic is actually dead dead.....
Oct 20th 2020
303
alot of this is wild heteronormative
Oct 20th 2020
306
      It's really not. It's like you didn't read replies 281 OR 285.
Oct 20th 2020
307
           i'm not using words wrong
Oct 20th 2020

Oct 19th 2020
293
Standing Ovation for this season. No complaints here.
Oct 19th 2020
295
