I'd love for online services like Netflix to lead to a situation like the UK where beloved shows come back every so often for a one-off special or two.

Season 1/2 Pierce when he was a good and well written character.

That was season 2 Pierce; season 3 Pierce was only a villain in the last ep as far as I can recall.

The writers didn't know what to do with Pierce in Season 3 (outside of the the episodes with his dad) because they hastily backed away from the ending of Season 2 where Pierce quit the group in order to let him come back. They would have been better served letting him stay separated, only interacting with the group in a guest star capacity like Duncan, before ultimately reconciling at the end of the season following the video game episode (and possibly by having him play a role in bringing down Chang because he would be allowed to stay at Greendale because he is no longer part of the group). I realize this would have never flown since Chevy was probably still considered the main draw of the show in Season 3, but in hindsight a reduced role might have mitigated the tension between him and Dan and also allowed his character to maintain something resembling a consistent arc.

Also Dan could have not been a dick to him. I know Chevy is not the awesomest human alive, but as we learn more about Dan and his behavior I really feel it was probably mostly his fault.

Donglover recently said Chevy was racist as heck on the set. He's the last person to deserve the benefit of the doubt.

"I'm sorry Donald perceived me that way" I feel like you can tell so much about a situation's veracity by the accuser's response and apology. This was like "yeah I was racist but what a sensitive little ******, take a joke lol"

Twenty times too long with weird, uninteresting, name-droppy tangents. It's like Tristram Shandy but unfunny.

Ratjaculation posted:Thats pretentious as gently caress and everyone involved should be slaughtered imo It sounds like you haven't read the New Yorker's entertainment writing before. Their movie reviews are beyond insufferable, and often don't even talk about the film in question for as much as half the article.

Yeah man how dare he name the people who treated him like poo poo because he is black. Seriously some of ya'll ain't poo poo. I remember when he left to do music and a whole bunch of people itt said that he would fail and his music as for hipster whites.. now I hear Redbone get play on WJLB all day. This whole era of his is very Kanye-esque. Some of you praise Dan Harmon and want crazy rear end Chevy/Pierce back but for some reason Donald doesn't get a pass like those guys....

It sounded to me like they were talking about him spilling the tea on Tina Fey and Chevy. Which was insane to me because everyone knows Chevy treated Donald like poo poo. Joel McHale even wrote about it in his book iirc. I've already gotten into arguments with folks who are mad he had the nerve to say that poo poo about them and joke about being Jesus and whatever, so I'm a little sensitive about it plus I remember a lot of people talking poo poo about Don itt when he left the show. Like I said, he really reminds of Kanye right now, he also has a history of depression and suicide attempts (I actually have heard a hosed up story about when he was in Australia right before he tried to commit suicide) so I'm worried he's heading for a breakdown.

I read/skimmed all of that but I missed anything that would qualify as “spilling the tea” on Tina Fey. What did I miss?

He noted that his own skin color had surely influenced his career, beginning with his first job, as a writer on “30 Rock.” “I wondered, Am I being hired just because I’m black?” Tina Fey, the show’s creator and star, told me that the answer was in large part yes; she admired Glover’s talent but hired him because funds from NBC’s Diversity Initiative “made him free.”

She praises Glover a *lot* in that passage so I can't imagine the two have any kind of problem.

Tina Fey has said a lot of lovely things about race and especially about women of color though. She is basically in the same vein as John "My dick is a white supremacist" Mayer.

The only name she really dropped was David Simons, the rest were people Glover worked with and their impression of him or people talking about him. Both are perfectly valid things to put in a profile about someone.

Steve Vader posted:Examples? quote:“Thomas Jefferson—another gorgeous white boy who would not have been interested in me. This was my problem in a nutshell. To get some play in Charlottesville, you had to be either a Martha Jefferson or a Sally Hemings.” Sally Hemings was a fourteen-year-old black girl who was Thomas Jefferson's slave. He raped her. Also quoting from an intersectional feminist because I'm phone posting and you can't be bothered to Google: quote:She also is implying that the fact Black women have been sexually exploited and fetishized by white men benefits Black women and hurts white women and means white men prefer them to us, thus rendering them our “competitors” for white male attention. She did a similar thing when she said that beauty standards for “women” (aka WHITE women) are made worse because some female celebrities of color have promoted empowerment in their beauty, and again characterizes white men’s fetishization of women of color as detrimental to white women:
