It's fine being annoyed by 'rape' used as shorthand for 'this guy is evil,' but I don't feel like that's the case here.

yea my childrens shows also feature alcoholism and rape

do all these goons who are way too cool to watch modern tv or play games or go to a bar or see movies sit around watching MASH all day or what

i personally dont enjoy watching tv/movies about fictional super heroes that were written for children and the intellectually disabled. wowie what a cool plot a hot chick that has powers here to save the day (loads rounds into revolver), maybe if we throw in a few shots of her butt and poo poo we can get even more ddumb man children to watch this stupid loving garbage (presses gun to head) yea man people who dont like super heroes must be total losers lol (squeezes trigger, turns out it was a cap gun, cries and shits pants)

It's a very divisive topic, sexism on the tv, so if you poop out a dumb think piece with an outrageously annoying headline lots of ppl will click on it and some percentage of them will not be using an adblocker.


Don't read any of the current crop of editorials they're all insanely boring, wait until the articles come out on theatlantic or salon about how the show is secretly problematic and sexist like they did with oitnb, those will be great.

i thought it was an pretty ok show. i got mad when nuke shot lester freamon in the head for no reason and it was stupid when patsy ate one of nuke's reds and she started to come down and started dying after like 30 seconds when nuke said some poo poo like he wouldn't need a blue for 10 more hours meaning the poo poo has to last for hours and hours not a couple seconds

also how the show goes out of its way to make patsy seem like a krav maga bad rear end in a few scenes but at no point in the show does she ever stop being a stupid idiot who gets beaten in every single encounter. even when she took a red to go crazy she would've still got her rear end kicked my nuke if jessica didn't throw him into a wall and dump a fridge on him

but i guess complaining about comic book shittiness is like complaining about the smell when you're in a portapotty. you walked into a house of literal rotting poo poo what can you expect

is male porn star looking cop named nuke in the comics? that's terrible

i think he was saying that since he has a tolerance he wont need a blue to keep him from dying for ten hours which is why it doesnt matter if he tosses them out the window while talkshow lady has not build up a tolerance to the drug and will die very quickly that could be my own "head canon" tho

He was also a trained fighter and on a higher dose of the stuff and a lot bigger, so it makes sense she was only able to hold him off for a minute or so.

The thing with him only needing the blue in 10 hours was explained as he had a tolerance for it.
