So much character encapsulated in one little interaction. <br /><br />Also, you may have already seen this, but I thought you would enjoy this snippet from Amy Louise Pemberton's Instagram of her recording "Future Favorite" for this episode: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWGkDAAjoSw/?utm_medium=copy_link<br /><br />(Good lord, she's so incredibly talented, we don't deserve her.)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981582205048173830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-33141586136048958012021-11-29T09:25:23.686-05:002021-11-29T09:25:23.686-05:00Hey Robin,

Yeah, I'd agree, the show seems to have generally presented him as white in that same way that Keanu Reeves usually is.<br /><br />I'm also hard core team Mona. They could have done so much with the Werewolf who doesn't mind being a werewolf vibe, and I'm a huge fan of the actress since her appearances on Santa Clarita Diet. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the lovely compliment, that really means a lot to me. :) Mikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43725201260723009982021-11-29T01:03:43.924-05:002021-11-29T01:03:43.924-05:00(And it's entirely possible you already knew t...(And it's entirely possible you already knew that, in which case I apologize for overexplaining!)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981582205048173830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-45978269881117795302021-11-28T23:04:48.322-05:002021-11-28T23:04:48.322-05:00Great review as always, Mikey! These are the first...Great review as always, Mikey! These are the first ones I flock to as I slowly catch up after having fallen behind last season. I especially enjoy the discussion of structure and overarching plot.<br /><br />Small addendum regarding the season 1 lineup, I think Snart is likely written as white, but Wentworth Miller himself is multiracial, with African-American heritage on his father's side and Lebanese heritage on his mother's. I don't think this conflicts with the point you're making, I ADORE the diversity of the current lineup (with some frustration over Mona's reception a few seasons ago, being Asian American myself), I just thought it was interesting to note.

Really clever idea.<br /><br />I just keep wondering how on Earth I never noticed how much better the representation on this show had gotten. Is it my own place of privilege that allowed me to just not notice how non-diverse the original lineup was, or did the show just do a really, really good job of doing the work and not making a presentation of it? Probably both.Mikey Heinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053287699381988084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-86854400889691815302021-11-10T21:38:04.314-05:002021-11-10T21:38:04.314-05:00I'm really enjoying this season arc, for all t...I'm really enjoying this season arc, for all the reasons you pointed out, Mikey. It's a good change, and a breath of fresh air. And I love the pocket dimension mansion, and never expected they would use it the way they did in this episode.<br /><br />And I had the exact same thought about how the cast has changed, because of the racist stuff.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43408312934792874732021-11-10T20:08:35.741-05:002021-11-10T20:08:35.741-05:00Hard agree.
