"Atlanta [FX Show]"


  

          

This needs it's own post.
The first two episodes were great.
This is what it's like to have a black show, written by real life, honest black folks. I'm not sure I've ever seen (my) black life so accurately depicted (and without appealing to middle class sensibilities). And they even tackled so many "issues" without making "on a very special episode of Atlanta." Whoa. This shit good.

Sep 07th 2016

Do you think a lack of a defined script would be a plus or a minus?
Sep 09th 2016

Sep 07th 2016
44
           is there something in his past that made you ask this?
Sep 07th 2016
46
                Yeah, I am curious about the DG hate.
Sep 07th 2016
47
                The roles he chooses & music he makes reinforces the stench of corniness...
Sep 07th 2016
52
                maybe they didn't think he was "that black"
Sep 07th 2016
53
                Yeah, I am curious if it is that without people wanted to come out & say
Sep 07th 2016

                     yup, that's prolly it.
Sep 07th 2016

Nov 02nd 2016
594
That's real.

My brother and I always tossed around doing a TV show and Atlanta is the closest to what kind of ideals we always had. Not the concept, but the portrayal of blackness.

as speaking english

it isn't everything and doesn't apply to the narrative structure of all black tv shows, but it's a touchstone

i was just trying to say this is "realer" than community or full house or bernie mac, but it's still got the humorous edge.

So glad he touched on that

Hit on all the layers too

Him feeling a way the white boy felt comfortable saying that around him

To the white boy going into frat boy slang when the white boys showed up

To him not saying it when he retold the story to Paperboy

Since they aren't hiding his inherent blipster vibe in the show; with that scene it shows even the white kid felt like 'you aren't THAT kind of black' even though the character ultimately is.

I knew dude was talented from when he was with that Derrick comedy troupe but I didn't think that he was "that black" that when he got his show he would go with an all black cast and talk about black people shit.

Meanwhile that dude dropped the closest depiction of black life I know in a minute.

The first two eps were flawless.

Like those shows tho its dark and gonna be a hard sell to middle america. Less about the blackness, more about how shows like this stay niche because it's not escapist; its humor is dark and real...critics may love Louie but audiences don't according to its ratings, lol.

Hopefully white critics take notice and push this for awards to help keep it afloat.

Not alot of rating pressure, but Critics know to check for it because of Louie and the other strange comedies the channel carries.

And the critics are already in love.

The League (ended)
You're the Worst
Married (cancelled)
Louie
Now Atlanta

Wasn't a huge fan a Sunny but I'd peep it on occasion.

I was kinda surprised at how many FX shows I've been into at least moderately

>You're the Worst

The mega-dark turns 'You're the Worst' took in particular over the seasons from its happy go lucky start would not have happened if it on after lets say after 'The New Girl', lol.

They sneak in hella amount of social issues in addition to keeping it funny (Charlie's one of the goat sitcom characters)...considering the medium they do spectacular work.

Like if Modern Family is on, I'll watch it and laugh. But no real reason to seek it out and follow weekly.

I just hate the formula for family sitcoms of non-dilemma introduced first 5 minutes. Neatly resolved last five minutes. I just find it boring and predictable. Seen Cosby show, seen most of them.

I can admit my skepticism is from the unfavorable opinion I have of Donald Glover's Childish Gambino character.

The dynamic characters, compelling story, authentic locations, the equal balanced of social criticism and responsibility, and it's very well shot--all compel me look to forward to new episodes.

I'm excited to watch these multidimensional portrayals of black people...on television.


FX is such a much better network lead by John Landgraf!

Outside of the fact that he's one of the actors you would be hardpressed to find anything that's related to anything he's done before. It's really left field considering his career

his baby mother. Outside of being gorgeous, she's a good mix of when you know you fucked up but she still loves you even though you fucked up, but as a result she's keeping her options open but you can still slide back in there until you fuck up BIG time and that love turns into pure hate. That happy period before she hates your guts.

This is a lot of it so I'm just gonna quote the writer Michael Arceneaux.


"When I first heard Donald Glover was making a show called Atlanta, my initial response lingered on, "Uh, I don't know about all that."...I've never been quite sure what to make of him. I don't believe in measuring anyone's blackness; it's stupid, sophomoric, and, forever and always, incredibly boring.

Still, I've taken issue with previous comments he's made about black culture, most notably how he's referred to it as a "fight."...whenever I hear black people opine about liking both rap acts and emo bands, my eyes roll into the back of my head. You're not the only one, beloveds, and plenty of us can relate to mixed tastes. Being well-spoken, being educated, and not being thuggish or "hard" does not automatically make you disconnected from the black community at large. But for whatever disconnect that's been mentioned in the past, Glover didn't help his case with comedy sketches like "bro rape" or the fetishizing of Asian women under his rap moniker Childish Gambino."

Hard to hold a skit he did in college against him. Also hard to hold questionable rap lyrics against him from when he was younger.


As a dude that followed him from his college skit days, one of the best things about this show is to see his maturation as a writer. Lots of nuance and respect for his characters.

84. "unsurprisingly the female characters are weak "
In response to Reply # 41


          

Don't get me wrong, the show is excellent, and imma have the dvr ready for any new episodes BUTTTTTTTT as to be expected the women are framed only in reference to their relationships to the men and as of yet (2 eps in) the show has not introduced any stand alone female characters.

I'm not surprised, but I really really hope that coming episodes remedy this. There are wayyyyy too many varied dynamic black women in Atlanta not to delve deeper into their lives.

yup.


and it's a little difficult to read all this press about this excellent, nuanced black show that's coming out, and not know whether this blackness is gonna include well-conceived black women. i get it's only 2 eps so far. and i get that the center of it is gonna be the male relationships. but, i'll be emotionally honest and say that I hope for this type of inclusion.

i watched the first two eps and thought they were good. i'm invested in alfred. i could listen to Isaiah Whitlock read the side of a cereal box and still laugh. and the daughter is adorable. so, i'll keep checking back in to see how it goes.

with the mother of his kid.

in very limited time, they showed that she has a life outside of glover's character, that doesn't seem to depend on or revolve around him/them.

and they did it all without diving into stereotype, trope or any heavy handed messaging.

80. "Donald Glover on Why 'Atlanta' Has an All-Black Writing Staff"
In response to Reply # 0

Donald Glover on Why 'Atlanta' Has an All-Black Writing Staff
"I wanted to show White people, you don't know everything about Black culture," Glover told Vulture.

Sameer Rao AUG 24, 2016 10:43AM EDT


When multihyphenate Donald Glover first developed his upcoming FX show "Atlanta," the network's enthusiastic support occasionally exposed their ignorance about life for some in Black communities.

As Glover told writer Rembert Browne for Vulture (the story also appears in New York Magazine's new print issue), FX initially suggested that a drug dealer character live in "traplike" apartment. "We were like, 'No, he's a drug dealer, he makes enough money to live in a regular apartment,'" Glover said to Vulture. "There were some things so subtle and Black that people had no idea what we were talking about."

Glover aims to shine a light on those contextual differences with the surrealist comedy-drama, which premieres on September 6. "I wanted to show White people, you don't know everything about Black culture," he said. To that end, Glover employed an entirely-Black writing staff, featuring primarily Atlanta natives like Glover and his brother Stephen.

His goals with "Atlanta" also reflect the criticism Glover received for years over his popularity in White cultural spaces. "I know when I go to Baltimore, when I go to D.C., it's like 50-50—half of them are like, 'I love this dude, this dude's cool.' And the other half are like, 'This coon-ass dude,'" he said. "But I have no hate in my heart for no Black person ever. Because we're in a position where the system has fucked us up so bad we can't always trust each other."

Glover created and stars in "Atlanta" as "Earnest 'Earn' Marks," while Bryan Tyree Henry ("Boardwalk Empire") portrays his cousin, "Alfred Miles." The series focuses on Miles' burgeoning celebrity as the rapper Paper Boi and, as Vulture describes, "Earn's ever-evolving balancing act between his origins and a life often spent in predominantly White settings."

The show is so well-written that you'd have to think that the writers will add layers to Earn's girlfriend and include other woman characters to the mix.

we are 2 episodes in...

the only characters with depth are Glover and paperboi.

we've met three women:

one is the pretty, litskint, baby momma. all we know of her is she frustrated with Donald. literally another frustrated black woman with no interior life not attached to her man

two, is Donald's momma. What she have three lines and the patriarch, the Papa, got the zingers

three, the woman who meets Playboi, and as soon as she sees he got's a little wave. claims ONLY her kids, smile, and ready to smash

it's lazy and typical

but like you said we only an hour in, so I hope some(one) gets developed.

Darius (Keith Stanfield, who I think is a great actor) is low-key my favorite now though

BUT I love the dimension and depth they giving Paperboi so far. mad props for that

>>one is the pretty, litskint, baby momma. all we know of her is she frustrated with Donald. literally another frustrated black woman with no interior life not attached to her man

we know what she does, where she lives

she's not frustrated and without a life. she's dating at least one other person and isn't waiting around to see what glover's character thinks of that. she didn't ask, doesn't care, didn't bring it up until he asked.

clearly their relationship has more layers, but it seems like she has more of a life outside of him than he does outside of her, tbh.

did you not see how she came in to the crib after the date? she looked hella disappointed.

and she def frustrated. what would you call the opening scene after the "i love you". it was beyond that moment. and bailing out her baby father, mind you, who went to Princeton.

and we know were they all live. what kind of signal is that?

and where did you get that last read from. she was on screen for 2% of the first hour

>did you not see how she came in to the crib after the date?

? she just seemed whatever, to me. it was a long day with parent teacher conferences. and if she was disappointed, that's still life outside of glover's character.

>
>and she def frustrated. what would you call the opening scene
>after the "i love you". it was beyond that moment. and bailing
>out her baby father, mind you, who went to Princeton.

if she's so frustrated, why didn't she mention it again? not wanting to fuck him != frustrated with life. she moved on with her day, and dozens of things that had nothing to do with dude except that he needed to kick in some money on rent.

>
>and we know were they all live. what kind of signal is that?

who is all? there are three houses shown: paperboi's, glover's parents and hers. there were a lot more people than that.

that's backstory.

>
>and where did you get that last read from. she was on screen
>for 2% of the first hour
this? >but it seems like she has more of a life outside of him than he does outside of her,

she has a date and a house and a career and a car -- none of which depend on him in any way. you seem to think the date didn't go well, but again -- that's a life outside of him that he doesn't have.

he barrrrrely has a job, has no other women we've seen, no other friends in his day to day life that we've seen other than dude he works with.

he's living *in her house,* he doesn't have a car and has nothing going on when the show starts.

everyone treats Glover like a bum ass nigga.

I'm not falling for this weak female character bullshit just cause she is upset her baby daddy is a broke ass nigga.

I think people are blurring the lines and viewing Danny Glover as the creator/star and not the character he is playing.

and she'd drank all of her wine.

I thought she was kinda pissed about that (and that earnest had only technically fulfilled his promise to have their daughter at the house), but that was all taken in stride imo.

but I think they did a lot in a short amount of time to establish that her life does not revolve around earnest, and I appreciated.

obviously they gotta do more, but they did a ton of world building in two eps.

honestly I'm most impressed by alfred. a lot of the exposition was on him (half the shit that we know about earnest is because he told us), and dude carried the hell out of it.

I loved that they made her be like "Nah man, that's dumb as shit" after Earn did his little bleeding heart speech, but then the flip side can have that air of "see that's what black women do. can't support a enwurd doin' shit"

I'm diggin their relationship right now though

I also appreciate that they got a very normal looking, yet hella pretty woman to play Vanessa

In response to Reply # 121
Fri Sep-09-16 09:49 PM by legsdiamond

          

she had a date so obviously she isnt waiting around for Glover to get his shit straight.

His mother had 3 lines... his dad had 5 or 6 but since we know him from the Wire we assume he has depth. And why the fuck you have to say "the patriarch, his dad?" smh... cmon nigga. Are we really at a point where a Black man cant write a scene where he has have both parents and has a convo with his dad?

Darius, I'm not familiar with him as an actor but again, you know him so you assume he has depth but he is a clown on this show thus far. Having a knife and cookies isnt depth... stacking salt and pepper isnt depth. But since he has screen time he has layers? nah..

and the woman in the PJ's... is this show called Atlanta or nah? Yall quick to say the show is real but then get mad because that scene is real. You know damn well women get open for rappers and the kid claim shit was hilarious.

Like you said, we are in hour in and from what I can tell the definition of depth is screen time.

Can Glover tell his story or nah?

actually it's alluding to it. it's called subtlty fam, which was tying into his other moments, with tangent comments, and knife and cookies among other things. keep reaching though

But since he has screen
>time he has layers? nah..
>
did I say depth. did I? i said right now he's my favorite character. Playboi though has depth and is a unique voice

look at you all tight already. Loved this first hour. little critiques don't mean I don't dig the shit out of it

also this this show called Queen Sugar, also southern and Black as hell, that was also an hour, the women and men both got the depth Donald and Playboi got (and there six main characters so far), but glad you think the women In Atlanta had dimension

in the end. it seems we both gunna enjoy this show

Wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. Donald Glover has a hit on his hands. I hope the writing remains strong and it lasts a few seasons.

Doing a great job telling an aspect of Black life.

This show fills the void of early 'Boondocks' without the absolute silliness.

I will be following this show weekly.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The dog is a reoccurring motif, but so is the sandwich (Dude with the bowtie on the bus and the sandwich Earn got when he was in processing).

This show is Black and surreal. I don't think another TV has ever done this before. #WATTBA.

it's something I completely missed on the first viewing

but it's very subtle to Darius and the dog on the opening scene, Earnest talking to his lady about his dream, and dude on the bus

super excited for this show

i'm assuming other dude got shot, 'cause the news reporter said the victim is still missing

but then, i'm also assuming they ain't shoot him cause there's no way they get let go for shooting some one right? or am I wrong about that?

I dunno how they get there, but anything else would be kinda too obvious for a mystery. Plus they both being pretty cool for having shot somebody.

> Plus they both being pretty cool for having shot somebody.

Something went down that they don't want the truth to come out, but they also didn't appear to be the folks who shot someone.

Infact, I think it's pretty clear that they weren't charged with a shooting (they were mad to be charged with a weed possession).

"There is no victim" says Paper Boi

But the news report says there was a shooting and the two were suspects. Though they didn't find a victim or weapons.

Interesting to see how it adds up.

the overhead shot. The flash was on old buddy's side of things. He still had his pistola in his waist. And since none of the three amigos (Earn, Al and measure the tree) are injured, thats what had happened.

the flash was gonna be on his side no matter what. The flash comes from the muzzel of the gun. Most people shoot with their arm at least partially extended, and since the were right in front of each other, unless he shot Earn or Pap, the flash would be on his side.

at the end, when Dnald was pouring his heart out to his baby mama, was basically this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXxlTJcUs6A

but it came off fresh tho, I still laughed at the turn. Good episode. I also ike how it balances Glover's nebbishness with thst terror of a drug deal. well done.

Hard to mix comedy and violence and I think they felled here. Just didn't fit the comedy we've seen so far.

Other than that pretty good. Loved the date. My favorite part was the dude with the parking. It's those little characters this show nails.

Love their awareness that folks are looking at the woman role and the trap of babymama not getting the vision stereotype.

I could be in my dude's whip and he would be like "Yo you heard that new Babyface?" and throw it on an listen to it no problem.

Then I remember going away to school up North and throwing on the New Velvet rope CD and dudes were looking at me like I was crazy. It was all Wu-tang/Snoop/etc. in the whip with the fellas from then on.

That scene where the dudes was singing Encore reminded me of that.

it's a catch-22, you can't really know that dude exists without being them in at least some aspect.

the connect was perfect

but yo, to be honest I was a little confused about that scene.

where Migos their plug? is that why they were questioning them about getting our of jail so early? were Play and Darius dropping off money or picking up more drugs or both?

and lofl @ Darius handcuffing himself to the briefcase and then forgetting the key

lastly, I have this unsettling feeling that in the end, end, Playboi aint gunna make it

In response to Reply # 0


          

Enjoyed the episode, but the lack of decent female characters (as I mentioned earlier) is going to be a blindspot.

I don't have issues with the stereotypes RJ, you have millions of black women who take care of the households and got bums as baby fathers so thats whatever, but you gotta have women in the series who do more than exist as support beams and cum receptacles for the men. You gotta have balance because not all women are here for that life.

Like the scene in the car about Eve and Jessica? I could totally see it happening irl BUT trust and believe a woman has had a similar conversation with a man about her dating life. Women can be just as if not more trifling as men, so please show more than us emasculating men and caring for kids. We can both curse you out while working at the DMV and love Carl Sagan so show that. We can do ecstasy on Saturday while still going to church all day Sunday. Flesh out the characters.

I want more ain't shit women, more boss women, more gay women, more funny women, more church women, everything. The same care and refinement that the show has given to the men needs to happen to the female characters.

In response to Reply # 186


          

that so far with the exception of quavo, everyone on screen speaking has been a support beam for earnest (with the mild exception of darius who is a support beam for alfred and earnest).

alfred is the co-lead character, and it's not til this third episode that we finally get significant time with him where earnest isn't about to show up, or on the phone, or that he's talking about earnest (naturally, earnest calls in the middle of his dealing)

they definitely need more female characters, and to give the few that we've seen so far more time to develop and things to do. I want to see if they will. Who are the writers on this show?

In response to Reply # 186


  

          

1. Sister was darkskin (Since Martin I've been kind of sensitive to dark skin sister being the butt of certain types of jokes and 2. the girl didn't get a chance to snap back. If she got a chance to snap back It would have gone down a lot better for me.

Anyway, not sure I'd be watching with such a critical eye to female characters but now that yall mention it I've been watching for it.

I don't think they are doing terrible because Vann is awesome but looking forward to seeing her and others get an inner life.

When Light Saber dude showed up at the restuarant, best joke of the episode.

I'm not gonna go into that show looking for male identities to be thoroughly explored. I actually want to see a show that talks about black women and their inner lives.

So I'm not to made if Atlanta just ends up being a show about black masculinity. I don't need this show to be all things for all people.

I do keep a critical eye when it comes to colorism and the portrayal of black women so I agree on that point, but I think shygurl is being a bit extra by saying the women on this show are just cum receptacles. I don't think this show is being crass in the least.

There are lots of ways to analyze a show. One of them has to do with the production itself. You don't have to look at it that way, but acting smug because you don't seems silly.

In response to Reply # 193


  

          

and I agree that I don't expect men to be as nuanced in that show as they are in Atlanta. And we have to consider the context...Atlanta drug dealer and his corny cousin manager trying to make it big in hiphop. Women in that type of story are accessories; former baby moms, groupies/thots, IG/video models, etc. I don't see it getting much better. The only dynamic I see evolving is Van and Ern once the real recognition starts for paperboi (there will be residual a** that Ern will have a hard time passing on).

Insecure though...gonna be the opposite. Men will represent desire, frustration, security and insecurity all in one...from a woman's perspective. Which is what I expect and am interested in. The guys likely won't be as developed character wise as Issa and Molly. I've liked the commercials too and the titles of the first 4 eps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insecure_(TV_series)

Insecure as f*ck
Messy as f*ck
Racist as f*ck
Thirsty as f*ck

^^^Gold in and of itself...I like that it's on HBO too. I wish Glover's show as uninterrupted with more time as well (given no commercials)

and by definition, "Stereotypes" are simplified characters. Someone isn't a stereotype just because they fit a profile that is common in a cultural group/community.

Vann isn't a stereotype because she's a stressed-out baby mama w/ a co-parent that isn't pulling his weight b/c he wants to find himself. She is literally half the women I know with children right now.

Same w/ Queen Sugar: The Ralph Angel character is angry at the world and commits petty crimes. i.e. he is half the young men I work with.

These people exist in our community. It's only a problem if they aren't given context, and both Vann and Ralph Angel are. Vann not as much yet, but we know 1) she finished her degree and Earn didn't (she's a teacher) 2) She's actively dating other men. She's not waiting for him to get it together, and that's a main source of motivation for him.

In response to Reply # 201


          

i mean, i could see if Earn was out fucking hoes or hollaring at other women but that isnt the case...

would it really be horrible if she wasnt dating other dudes until he gets his shit together because she wasnt that type of woman who dates while her babys father sleeps next to her every night?

kimda reminds me of a woman who said she was going on a date because the guy she was seeing was going to hang out his boys that night.

ionno, that idea of going out with another guy to replace Earn still feels like it doesnt really solve the "woman" problem on the show people are talking about.

honestly, i dont see anyone having their shit together on this show right now.. and thats fine by me.


she is still bailing him out, still sleeping next to him, still feeling him...

but she is dating so she has that going for her.

ionno.. just sounds odd when breaking down a female character

In response to Reply # 203


  

          

Why would him dating other people make it okay for her to do it?

They aren't committed. You can tell that their daughter is why they still deal with each other. Earn still has feelings but Van is trying to move forward.

In response to Reply # 215


          

I know he isnt taking care of home (pretty much the premise of the show) but as we see... he isnt really an aint shit dude.

just reads odd to me that going out with other dudes is kinds of the proof we need that she has layers.

like if she wasnt going out with other dudes it would be stereotypical when in reality... its pretty common.

not saying women moving on isnt common either.

In response to Reply # 224


  

          

Even his parents are done with him. There's no telling what his history with Van is, but she's fed up too.

We're watching him hit rock bottom. We know he'll rebound, but we can't fault the people in his life for being disillusioned.

And he may be smart, creative and endearing, but he's isn't shit right now. We can like him, root for him, but it is what it is. He will be shit one day, but he is textbook ain't shit right now.

Agree all of this, only thing I think Ralph is as thin as paper. At least Vann interacts with the characters/holds her own, all Ralph does is look good while glowering. The story runners want you to see him as a noble but hurt rogue but the way they wrote him is inconsistent. They show him being SUPER protective about his child (which serves the noble part) but he leaves him alone as child kidnap bait while committing an armed robbery? Ain't no babysitters? LOL It feels like something white people wrote trying to sympathize, lol.

Without his foils (the child/ the 'evil' baby mother) he falls apart as a character, at least with Vann if you wrote away her kid and Ern you would still have a struggling woman working a job she doesnt like trying to break out into a creative career.

But I don't wanna slag off on Queen Sugar since its so well made and its a strawman to debating if Glover's good with well rounded women in his narratives or not.

when his dad took his last breath, and his son and him were holding his father's hand, and laying their heads on his chest. *sniff* I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.

His aunt alluded to the fact that he was overprotected by his father when he tried to prevent his son from going to the funeral. He doesn't know how to move when things don't work out for him.

there are archetypes
these might be more archetypes

mainly though most men i see widely are turned off by things not seen through their eyes

like most black folks can watch white television
white folks rarely watch black television?

same men and esp black men are not used to a story not male focused
they can watch white male, latino male asian male anything

women though? nope

hence they love Atlanta

234. "only reason i caught it"
In response to Reply # 226


  

          

i was raised with a male cousin
so my entertainment tastes were mainly male

i was any and all comic/scif/fantasy
a really high amount

i started nothing my separation during crime and noir
not as into it

drama i'm not that into

for all i will watch if its considered exceptionally good or if there is a latina or black woman protagonist - where the i need to watch something related to me for my interest thing

most things women watch are hrm...berated looked down upon


another separation sci-fi/fantasy
even with that men claim to hate CW

(arrow sucks all around btw)

but the flash drew people
supergirl which turned out not to be bad started losing men pretty quickly

CW in general known for shows with supremely attarctive male actors
men hate it
shows are eye candy for women
even if they are good

put teen wolf there as well

and its not a general nudity thing because they will proclaim HBO shows as excellent w female nudity

watch true blood more women nudity then male nudity (and when they did men complained) even though it wasn't a good show

its interesting to note though

i gave empire and shonda shows a good shot greys for - 5 years at that time an asian and black folks i was watching!
empire was new too but after a season its just not my thing
no Power,

started survivors remorse surprisingly good


comedy is another separation

I would agree, except that the Black male focused stories we're use to seeing still aren't as complex and focused on the Black male psyche as Atlanta is. This show actually explains the mechanisms of why an otherwise smart, creative Black man finds it difficult to get his shit together.

LOVE smart discussions about media! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Dude's were loving The Get Down, the show that damn near is a disco musical and the female lead isn't just the romantic interest but her story line is half the show and guys were digging it.

So you're saying that black men don't or didn't enjoy Set It Off, The Color Purple or Dreamgirls, or anything like that because they mainly told a story from a women's perspective? We didn't watch Living Single, Girlfriends and the sorts all the same?

I know there's always gonna be a huge line of people to give dap whenever someone says "especially black man!" but really it isn't true that we won't watch the good ole boob tube just because the story is focused on women, come on now...

the numbers bear it out

just cause you or I were part of the men who watched, enjoyed, or supported the projects you listed, they were mainly consumed by women

and Set It Off and Living Single are hella bad examples, because they reaped the benefit of being part of the first real wave of black television in the 90s that was for "the hop hop" generation. many POCs, and black folk in particular, were supporting off rip

but keep pretending sexism doesn't exist. you may want to go and check the criticisms Color Purple (the book and movie) received, and for what reasons

The reason why folks were supporting them is irrelevant, the question is whether men were.

Huge leap there buddy. Disagreeing with doesn't equate with beliving sexism doesn't exist. Let's agree to talk like grown-ups.

279. "Big Boi has been doing that for years"
In response to Reply # 260


  

          

and Kamal from this very own website does or did that type of breeding if I'm not mistaken.

Given those numbers, I have to imagine Big Boi has quite some paper since he's been doing that for years, in addition to his Outkast/solo record successes.

everyone can't be a "brand" and curate every waking moment of their life. Sometimes you have to just live. But, maybe Zan's point in the car gave them some solace.

In response to Reply # 281


  

          


aside from the trolling stuff, but trying to brand a lifestyle

Here is a couple of example

when they first meet Zan he has the photo of himself next to a booty


http://tinyurl.com/haowj5w


here is a profile of Van from Huff Post in 2015

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/azeem-khan/40oz-van-the-social-media_b_8149932.html

That was nearly four years ago and the party continues. The 28-year old entrepreneur has been able to curate and maintain the brand for himself and for his 40oz NYC collection that can be seen on all walks of life including A-list celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Cara Delevingne.


This all was made possible using Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. Van literally started from the bottom after quitting his retail job at Banana Republic. He was able to create a brand and a successful business while utilizing these free platforms to create a life for himself that one could only dream of.

In response to Reply # 266


  

          

just touched him.

like he was really wanting to fuck this dude up. but zan is so much on some other shit, he's not even reacting to the right social clues. and then pb cools out a bit when he sees the lil kid in the car.

and THEN he gets mad again when he realizes that lil man is NOT zan's son, but just a random ass lil kid dude is exploiting.

and THEN the kid starts popping off and its like, this lil ni&&a not eem likeable.

so much layers to this.


peace & blessings,

I got the shooting range point but it would have hit far harder if the white guys were shooting at a black target then got mad at the dog, the pregnant woman picture was a softball

Justin Beiber as a black kid totally lost me, the whole show up to now has been based in realism and scenarios we could totally grasp, maybe it went over my head

Did you see the first episode? The sandwich guy on the bus? Darius and the dog?

Personally, I don't think the shooting range needed to 'beat us over the head' with them shooting at black targets. We know who those people are, they give no fuck when one of us is murdered by the police. We know that about them. And then he got defended by some guys who seemed to be muslims... It said a lot about the pervasiveness of gun culture in general in addition to the obvious racial subtext.

but a spooked out vision from being mentally drained/possibly high isnt the same as a black Justin Bieber (maybe the point is Bieber was acting like he wanted to be black and say nigga for a period?)

it would look ridiculous for the media to embrace him inspite of his asshole behavior. He wouldn't be able to say "i was just hanging around the wrong people" and whatever bullshit white JB gets to say to excuse his behavior.

The whole episode was about double standards.

Yup. How the gunrange (and ive witnessed this personally) had some racist figures but OH NOES at the dog.

How Beiber was a raging asshole they let slide, but reporter chick had the nerve to tell Paperboi effectively 'he' was nice and as a rapper he should stay in the asshole lane. Making Beiber black made it tripper + imho more effective, but it would have worked if he switched roles with an actual look alike.

I slept GOOD through 2 episodes last night (som'n about basketball and Justin Bieber and agents). Woke up to the replay and went back to sleep. It didn't hold my interest at all. Donald Glover ain't for me - I haven't liked anything he's done except Community.

fuck you.

She was right. People don't want Biebs to be the asshole. They want the rapper to play that part.



I enjoy how they portray Alfred in this series. Probably the most self-actualized character. He drops an occasional line that reminds you of this. Like a couple episodes back when he says how he "scares people at ATMs."

He wants people to know the real him. To be allowed to show his complexity, but the outside world aint having it. The reporter. The baby mama who just wanted to snap a pic. Zan. All remind us of this.

and I didn't know whether to cackle or have a rage fit.

Also, CG sings the "Black Justin Beiber" song and it's making me want Pharos to come out yesterday.

This show is still working on so many rarely/previously unseen levels. We live in such glorious times.

..a refreshing take on the modern sitcom.

the entire cast is killin' it.

a little imbalanced, but the pacing is on point and shows promise while fleshing out the various story arcs.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I'm just not interested on commentary on celebrity-ism.

The show has done it's best at showing regular Black-ism.

Even the shooting range was a 30 second joke that could have played out in context of the story rather than a full b storyline.

I'll take the jail scene over anything from this episode.

The Van episode.
Paperboy stole the show.
But I actually really dug the episode.
A lot of fleshing out of Van's character.

and still lost her job...

pretty sure they will find a way to complain about the way she was portrayed in this episode

Relationship makes more sense if she got her own level of fuckedupness which we haven't seen to date.


I do think though somehow, she going to blame Earn for her getting fired.

That dinner exchange reminded me of the women I know who have friends they can't stand, and secretly use to feel better about themselves.

Van looks down on her friend for lacking integrity.

Her friend looks down on Van for being broke and not maximizing her potential.

These are the relationships that all women must consciously let go of before they can have a breakthrough. Van's breakthrough is coming.

Also, kudos to Donald for his TV directing debut.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The first five minutes was a successful tone shift(and subtly funny)...but after she wakes up I can't see how anyone would be disappointed at the hi-jinks that took place since it's basically the same comedic style they've had in the show: Paperboy's petty responses, the lengths she went to get the urine, the condom popping, the social critique about the school system not being able to actually afford to test them so it's just a puppet show...

As far as realism is concerned, I love after her rager of a night she was so gone when she got home she left her keys on the other side of the door still in the lock. I remember those times

Why would you set a reminder 2 hours before you gotta go in?

Why wouldn't you do it say the night before as a reminder like "don't fuck this up"

Woulda been better if she had to go into school extra early for it or something

371. "So Van and Earn never actually "dated", they're besties w/ a child (Swip..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          


From actress Zazie Beetz's interview w/ Jezebel.
http://themuse.jezebel.com/a-conversation-with-zazie-beetz-on-atlanta-hair-touchi-1787399543

Right, she’s clearly doing her own thing within the relationship, but you get the sense that she wants to make it work with Earn. The show picks up in the middle of their relationship, so we don’t see what drove them apart. We only know that they have a baby together and they’re kind of trying to rekindle something. How did you view their relationship while reading it?

We went back and forth. Originally, they had the idea of, like, we’ve known each other for a long time and then this happened. But then we decided they knew each other and then they started hanging out but then super quick into that she got pregnant and they never had a chance to actually date. So they never got a chance to see if it could work out. It could have worked out. But this huge responsibility got slapped onto them and so they have basic compatibility things. He makes her laugh. I remember in the screen test, talked about how Van is the only person that actually gets Earn in his community and environment. And Earn is the only person that actually gets Van, which as the season goes on, particularly in Episode 8, which was a big thing that I also piped in about, was that you have to see them also love and care for each other. You see a little aspect of that, but that episode fully comes into this idea of choosing love over choosing conflict, allowing an audience to believe they would be together because they do have this energy in common. And had Van not needed to be a mother, I think she would be able to engage or understand Earn’s lifestyle more than she does now.

it's going to be hard to get back to the regular storyline after that, especially brother man with the nutella sandwiches, if I see any of those characters later on in the "regular" show it's going to make it all more surreal/funny.

They are going all out with this show.

Edit:

Ha!

http://www.vulture.com/2016/10/we-called-atlantas-ahmad-white-for-you.html

So Ahmad White, we meet again. Last we saw of this creepy New Age-y prophet, he was forcing Atlanta's Earn (Donald Glover) to take a bite of his Nutella sandwich on the bus before disappearing into the woods, where he seemingly apparated. But as we learned in last night's surreal Chappelle's Show homage, there's more to his story and and it's even shadier than you imagined. As it turns out, Ahmad White — his namesake is Jaleel Ahmad White (Steve Urkel!), who previously appeared on the show — doesn't just dole out unsolicited advice to random passersby. He's here to expand your mind, brother, through all methods of enlightened communication.

One of the episode's many dreamlike faux commercials saw White urging viewers to call his hotline and "get the answers you deserve." We saw testimonials from people who, after one transformative chat with White, magically got their chakras aligned and lives back in check— just like that! We at Vulture also decided to open our third eye and get as smart as a baby dolphin, so we gave the guy a ring. Here's what happens when you actually call 1-260-33QUEST.

Sadly, we received no free Nutella sandwich and juice — or any answers at all — to enrich our minds, just a whole lot more questions. Because when you do contact White, you're left with a voice-mail explaining that, whoops, he's actually in jail right now, which might explain why he ghosted on Earn the second the cop cars drove by:

“Salutations, and welcome to Free Your Mind. I’m unavailable right now due to a brief incarceration. Please, type in your number and a member of the brotherhood will contact you shortly. Enjoyable day to you.â€
Could it be that our infomercial soothsayer is a regular Joanne the Scammer? Don't believe everything you see on TV, kids.

428. "weakest episode thus far."
In response to Reply # 0


          

I appreciate what they were trying to do, and I have no issue with the format, but a lot of the jokes didn't hit for me. The sketches went on too long, jokes meandered too much. Imo the show excels when it shows the characters going about their day to day lives, and the absurdity of that everyday life but this was too pie in the sky for me.

"Felon Degeneres" was cute though.

janky promoters
dickhead bouncers
random people in your VIP section (my wedding weekend 2 years ago, complete strangers became our friends for free drinks)
people that dont want to be there vs. people who love that life
bartenders who think everyone should love that life
girls with boyfriends playing games for attention
the risk of a shooting at the letout

I understand these people and the situations they land in, though the episode took a clear stance against clubbing

Its all about selling/experiencing the dream...and by the nature of you being there you're a part of it even if you don't want to. I felt they nailed it when homegirl said she had a boyfriend and basically said, 'People go out to clubs to party and meet cool people, we did that'.

We may fool ourselves into thinking we gonna go out and get ass/ or meet the love of our lives, but the percentages aren't really different from just normal ass bar hopping which has none of that extra shit

Club chicks always milk guys for drinks and for a seat, knowing they have ZERO interest. And knowing they won't tell him they have a boyfriend before sitting down and taking a drink.

I'm not mad at her, because he was just fake laughing at her convos just to get some at the end of the night anyway, so it's all a game on both sides.

shit has happened to me twice. Once in Vegas, and once at Townhouse in Venice

it really is hilarious and infuriating when it happens. And it really does seem like the bouncers don't know/remember who you are 'cause they are humans in a dark as place, sober, around a bunch of drunk MFers, and trying to stay on point.

In the scene it even feels like the bouncer had already forgot who Darius was the random gave him a drink

shit was Comedy.

I'm glad they acknowledged it by having the bartender laugh at Earn and show him how to get in there.

It would have been great if they kept it surreal but having her there to let him know he wasn't crazy was even better.

Like is there ongoing investigation into the shooting with Paperboi?

Does Van need a new job?

Will he be wanted in an armed robbery?


I suspect yes and we will return to these story lines but if the show is as out there like Louie, a show that obviously influences this show, they might not return to those story lines.

...in the season finale. In that we find out what happened to the guy Paperboi is suspected of shooting, and maybe they finally reveal what happened to Earn at Princeton. If I was a betting man, I'd say the season finale will feature a lot of "resolutions" to lots of the plotlines they've had throughout the season (like Van's job, the armed robbery, maybe the annoying street team guy).

Probably from Donald/Gambino's really-into-hip hop white fans that just wanna recite the whole verse back to you in a space where you can't easily get away from them.

when Earn was talking to those women about what he did, and went into all the stuff that Van did and she left, I said to myself 'if I was a woman I'd probably give him some' he killed that and I don't think he's ever told her that and she was taken aback.

then when Earn was flipping out on the white dude, I was like but dude is kinda cool, then Earn goes "quit being so likable"

unrelated note, old girl (wife/hostess) was fricken beautiful

I hate those white people who do the "oh, you haven't been to Africa?"

He was cooler than his wife.

Do they really have these type of parties tho?

As far as Van breaking down, I thought it was because he stopped the charade and was patronizing her with a backhanded compliment. It sounded like a speech she has given to him a thousand times. True shit but still... the timing was shitty.

"Get in the que"

Lmao.

People actually ask that?

He was a bit cartoonish but I think they nailed how even the dudes who love black culture still can do the white guy thing of mainsplaining and acting like an authority. Dude wasn't a bad person, just a typical white guy.

>Do they really have these type of parties tho?

If they do, it would definitely be in ATL. LOL. This episode perfectly captured what I think boogie people from ATL are like.

In response to Reply # 478


  

          

to do and be that perfect date and he gave those women exactly the line he knew those women wanted to hear. But it was all kind of bullshit because she knows he doesn't talk like that. Which made it kind of fcuked up to say because she would like to hear him say something like that sincerely.

That's why her first comment to him after that is "You are so mean".

It was all great episode because it told us alot about the relationship of Earn and Van. You can see why they are together because they both can see that it's all bullshit. But Van is more willing to play the game because, well, she is a single mom raising a child mostly by herself. She tried her best to play the game but at the end of the day she couldn't, just like Earn.

This episode hit home like a mofo.

Van got more than she bargained for asking him to pretend, and Earn snuck some truth in there she wasn't expecting, for better or worse.

Watching it unravel at the end was funny and painful, but that look Van gave him in the car heading home? Realest shit they ever wrote...

In response to Reply # 483


  

          

that was the only "odd" moment for me.

Was it out of Van's own self loathing

or was it because she was honest with herself about her love for Earn being rooted in precisely him being who he is, and they were for vulnerable in that moment?

In response to Reply # 533


  

          

At that point on the drive home, I assume that she had sobered up at least a bit, and a sober Van would have remembered that she picked Earn up from his sidechick's spot...

First thought when I saw that was, "That was not in the original script." LOL.


But that is a nitpick...it was a great episode.

They summed up all my frustrations with Atlanta and also made me take a look in the mirror at my own shit. Strong ep.

489. "Did Earn dirty dick Van in the car? "
In response to Reply # 476


          

Dude hopped up, clearly didn't shower and went straight to the party. Last nights remnants all over his joint.

First thing we said at the beginning AND end of the episode...

That shit reminded need me of college.

Cause it really looked like he rushed to leave because he was late. No shower, prolly didn't brush his teeth. Just grimey

My wife doesn't follow the show closely so she was thrown off when he jumped in the car after kissing his jump off at the beginning.

Nigga said thanks.

That's why when Earn said "stop being so likable" it was dead on. At that point I rocked with him more than his damn wife. A lot of layers in that episode.

Earn even had a joke about what type of dudes she likes and basically described an OKP dude.

She was set up to be the nagging girlfriend but then she went an interesting direction.

Smart, weird, natural hair, smokes bud, shit together until she occasionally fucks it up. Dream Okfee.

In response to Reply # 499


  

          

That humanized her alot, to go along with her good looks. On a psychological level, that makes her seem more relatable and attainable, and therefore more appealing. If she had been the nagging, life-together, striver girlfriend who's trying to pull Earn up to her level, that would be off-putting.

I keep thinking about that now....

he was ok with the new experience of it all at first, even reluctantly...he's there to "do the right thing", and is trying to just make it though .... as he went on, a lot about the atmosphere bothered him, and this place that was supposed to be a positive experience because an overwhelmingly negative one mentally.... once he'd had enough, he "explodes", and leaves....

555. "Great ep. Great season. Great show "
In response to Reply # 552


  

          

Darius for the win: "I ate both of those blunts. It's gonna be an interesting night."

But pretty amazing and fucked up episode all around. From the cold open to the strip club to the snap chat of the evening to even the "background" convo by Paperboi and Darius while Earn was calling the Uber. And yeah, just damn @ the whole scene in the car and with the cops.

And great finish and pay off with the key. And ending it with Earn listienimg to Elevators on his Walkman was perfect.

Looking like the best show of the year. Can't wait for the second season.

They didn't address ol' boy getting shot, that could have been a whole episode and they moved on too casually

but showing where Earn has really been living this whole time is a great reveal and the perfect way to foreshadow what's going to change in season 2.

not too savvy on tv but I don't think their production cost is too too high, hope we get 20+ episode seasons in the future

Yeah yeah you get the fact that he's finally doing good now, has his own spot, hitting Van off with scrillaz, but we don't find out why he dropped out of Princeton, the dog $ doesn't come through, and no resolution on the shooting.

That shit was depressing.

It was alright but a little light for the season finale. I don't mind them not resolving some of the things you mentioned because that's what makes the show dope to me.

he is not doing good lol.... the day ended good but thats a microcosm of the show...everyday has its ups and downs but having focus is what matters

>has his own spot

i cried when i saw the key...i knew what was happening before he got to the storage init
i stayed in a storage unit in college when i got kicked out the dorm for the last 2 weeks of a semester

my wife cried because she would visit me in that storage unit and she also had a storage unit while couch surfing because she was crashing with me in that dorm



>hitting Van off with scrillaz, but we don't
>find out why he dropped out of Princeton, the dog $ doesn't

this is a serial show...not an anthology
open ended makes you appreciate the characters more as individuals
also its real life...if everything was wrapped up in a year or week its would be less gratifying

wrap everything up in the final episode.

It's only be 10 episodes which is barely a season by most network standards.


Let these story lines cook.

In response to Reply # 564


  

          

because that's how real life works.

there's no real wrap up, shit just falls off the table or the "wrap up" isn't a story worth sharing.

so, i won't be shocked if we never hear about the pitbull money again. a shooting seems like something serious to just let slip by, but IRL if cops ain't got the goods that can just linger forever too.

i guess what i'm sayiing is the show is bigger than those "plot points" and it doesn't necessarily HAVE to revisit them.

579. "I actually think Earn got the pitbull money- Theory"
In response to Reply # 571


  

          

The Streisand Effect ep was two eps before the "Value" episode. In TSE, Earn sold his iPhone. In the "Value" episode, 1) The date on Van's phone when she got the reminder about the test was...

September 25 (DG's real life birthday no less).

Darius said the dog money would come through in September.

When Van asked Earn for his phone to get Alfred's number, it was a new iPhone.

**mind blow**

I think he got the bread and bought, among other things, a new phone. You see how Van was cool w/ him that ep. Maybe he gave her some bread too.

Like with Van losing her job. There was no mention of it until "Juneteenth," where she goes to the principal's home to network. No explanation, no "set-up," just being there.

He's not doing good but he IS focused.

-He knows that the party life is part of managing and he's swallowed it
-His work is paying off as they got invited on tour by a bigger name
-He had the common sense to tell one of his boys to hold his keys as he knew ratchet was about to go down
-Paperboi is recognizing his efforts and broke him off proper, voluntarily and without argument showing that money hasn't changed their relationship and that he now has faith in Vern to do the job right
-His priorities are in order because he took a few hundred of his commission from paperboi and gave the rest to Val for their daughter
-He's repairing the relationship with the only woman in his life that truly has his back and put in QT with her and his daughter as a family
-He passed on Val's offer to stay to show her he doesn't need to be carried anymore, as a man he wants to do and have his own and he wants their reunion to be on HIS terms...when he can truly afford to be the man she deserves
-THAT independence allows him to swallow the sufferage of living in a storage unit while he's on his come up. Having that memory will continue to drive him as Paperboi (and thus Vern's) career takes off. Also, that's HIS space, even if it's only a storage unit. AKA...gotta do, what you gotta do.

I don't think we need the Princeton backdrop (it was probably due to a lack of comfort or $) or the paper for the puppies (though that would have been right on time at some points) but I was curious what happened with the shooting and why no one went to jail. Especially since that kind of followed Paperboi throughout the season.

Great season all in all though. Hope the next one is double the eps and starts next summer instead of in the fall.

You laid out clearly the growth and the triumph of the season.


I would just add that in real life, Trials can be a long time off. They can eat story-wise on that for episodes to come (hiring lawyers, trial dates, sentencing, etc.)

because of Donald landing the role of Lando in Star Wars. Which is really unfortunate, imo, because fuck Star Wars. Gimme more Atlanta.

and homie's name is Earn(est) not Vern, and "sufferage" is in no way related to "suffering." Other than those things, I think you're spot on.

584. "Can we discuss the Geography of the show (I know) but hear me out..."
In response to Reply # 0


          

First, I assume that not all the geography of the show is to be taken literally, but it's very interesting and a lot of it, I assume is based on where they could get permission to film. I'm most curious about where everyone lives, I'm probably gonna go back through all the episodes just to try to make out where the less obvious places were.

A few observations:

Back to the 1st episode. Ol' boy gets shot on the corner of
Chappell Road and Simpson(Joseph E.Boone) - Westside

I'm pretty sure Earn's parents live on the westside too, I couldn't make the street out.
I can't really tell where Van lives. Could be somewhere out on the westside near 285, judging by the apartment.

Earn went to Zesto and got played about the Kids meal. I think the only Zesto left is on Moreland Ave. - Eastside

In fact, most of the scenes when Earn is walking look like they're on the Eastside. Like when he happens upon the people dressed as cows for free sandwich day, which is hilarious and real as hell.

Earn walks up to Goldrush eating a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, but the closest Chick-fil-a is on cleveland ave which is walkable, but kinda far. He woulda been finished that sandwich way before he got there. Pleasers maybe he'd still be eatin, but Goldrush is like over a mile away.

Also Earn walks to his storage unit which is clearly out in Marietta, judging by the Big Lots and Goodwill he walks by when he's headed there.

I'll be back with more

across from Kroger on Moreland (Confederate Ave) because some of the scenes where he was walking were in the neighborhood off Moreland. I wanna say he was either on Brownwood or really close to it.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

...here's a show the only got used 10 episodes that could have easily had 13 or more. And a big part of that is its episodic, non-plot driven nature.

I could have easily done with 3 to 5 more episodes showing parts of Atlanta/slices of types of lives that usually don't get any exposure on TV. And I still wouldn't have needed to know why Earn left Princeton or what happened to the guy who got shot.

I hate when you can tell an episode was written because they had to supply some filler to fulfill the episode order.

It's a good thing that they have so many different directions to go for future episodes.

In response to Reply # 591


          

It felt like they didn't have 10 episodes worth of material and stretched 8 episodes into 10.

Some scenes felt really stretched out. Maybe it was intentional but sometimes it felt like it was done because they didn't have enough dialogue to carry more scenes.

Someone said Louie was an inspiration for this show and I can see it. I tried to watch Louie and since I'm not a fan I was turned off by all the waiting for some shit to actually happen.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

One thing about me that y'all may or may not know is that I am extremely aware when it comes to music...I catch everything that goes on...but when it comes to TV/Movies, I always miss so much. Maybe I get distracted easy, or it's just hard for me to follow certain things, or to see the symbolism, motifs, and even inside jokes.

Like....I didn't even catch the invisible car thing until reading the posts here. I remember everyone flying in the sky in the news video, but I must have just missed that they got hit by that car.

Also, I'm never really a critic about shows...I never complain about certain episodes not being as good as others, maybe because I view it like I do with music albums. Barely any albums are filled with nothing but great/perfect songs, yet some of the average/decent ones still serve an important purpose...so that's how I felt with all of the episodes I saw. The only ones that could be removed and not really affect the plot are the Bieber and Commercial/BAN ones, and those were great, possibly classic episodes.

Same here. I'm a fan of binge watching stuff like this cuz you can more easily 'stay in the pocket' with what the show is trying to do.

I'm not trying to beat down every detail that doesn't 'fit'. Again, I think that's easier to do with binge watching cuz you don't get time to try to write every next ep before you see it.

Glover is on a roll with me so of course I love this show too. They've already done so much and there's so much more to do. It's gonna be great to see the characters keep on going. It doesn't matter if they never 'make it' or if they get silly huge beyond anything that makes sense compared to where they were at the end of ep 10.

And real talk...I don't trust no man who don't have luv for Van. She is stunning on the regular throughout the eps. And she's super lovable in this role.

Best Comedy Series and Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Donald Glover.

I feel like Brian Tyree Henry (Paperboi/Alfred) should have gotten nominated though. A role like his could be very simplified but he makes it beautifully complex.

Maybe outside of the U.S., they don't appreciate how complicated his character is. The thoughtful acting and writing choices that show how smart he is.

Maybe all they're able to process is a Black man trying to be a rapper, and they don't see it as a stretch.

It IS a travesty though.
