Five months of pop culture, GO!
Orange is the New Black uses a typical protagonist (white, blonde, privileged) to tell stories about a bunch of non-typical characters (women of colour, bisexual/lesbian women, and a trans woman). The more I think about the season’s climax, the more I think it does the series a disservice, but the show as a whole

Everything you said about Graceland. So disappointed. Daniel Sunjata, goddamit.

I think Agents of SHIELD has improved. Turns out Ward, white hero guy, has self-awareness, self-deprecation and a sense of humour. May continues to be great and they start showing how the team fits together and them reasonably and appropriately caring for each other. Far from perfect but definitely improved.

Briggs telling Jakes that he killed an FBI agent and Jakes immediately offering to cover it up -- despite the fact that Briggs and Jakes have never had a scene together that didn't revolve around orange juice -- was the breaking point for me. Just bad, horrible, no-good writing. Sunjata definitely deserves a better show than this.

Thanks for the update on Agents of SHIELD. I might try to catch up with it over the Christmas break, though my first priority is Orphan Black. Looking forward to that one!

Hi Georgina

This is a bit random. My friend Edwina is a professional editor, and someone called Georgina keeps leaving messages on her phone, but not leaving a call back number. Is there any chance that's you? You're the only writer called Georgina I can think of...

Ignore that - we found the Georgina in need of an editor... Hope you're well! Long time no see :D
