I hate that the biggest fad for girls and guys my age is a Septum ring, makes them look like a bunch of buffalos. Wouldn't be friends with them, no. Wouldn't date a guy with a septum piercing either. But that's just my opinion. Like everything, the future will be a mix of good and bad tastes. And taste is qualitative.

That reminds me, the product placement in X-Files was really loving bad. "Subtle" is when the product just happens to be in the show/movie. It is not subtle when there's a scene just to showcase the product and its features.

I know a girl that has one. One of the reasons that she likes it compared to other facial piercings is that she can hide it at her job just by flipping it up into her nose.

How do you flip a ring into your nose?  This does not look easy to hide, but I also usually only see them on students or people that work at chipotle.

I haven't watched Black-ish since the episode where they (this isn't a joke) were genuinely deliberating on whether or not parents should hit their kids (the gently caress was that sociopathic bullshit anyway? did they fire whoever came up with it?), but this Black Lives Matter episode is getting a crazy positive response on all fronts.

I've only seen this season but they don't shy away from seriously controversial issues. Oh also it's extremely funny and Jenifer Lewis is amazing.

Do yourself a favor and never watch Madea's Family Reunion. Not just for the usual reasons why you should never watch Tyler Perry movies, but because one of the plot points is that she adopts a juvenile delinquent girl and fixes her by beating her and making her wear dresses instead of pants. It's so prevalent an idea in black entertainment that even Katt Williams, King Bullshit of Crazytown, had an entire segment of one of his standup special about how people need to quit beating their kids.

I loved Parks and Rec and was disappointed in B99. Stopped after 5 episodes. A lot of the characters seem like exact copies of Parks and I hate Sandberg.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's issue is that it wants to be a cross between a cop version of 30 Rock and a cop version of Parks and Rec, but doesn't have strong enough writing to be either. fwiw the best traditional/network sitcom right now is easily Fresh off the Boat imo

Eh, that is kinda actually a genuine thing in Black Families though. The episode literally ended with them not hitting the child(the correct choice) but to say it's not a deliberation that parents go through especially among a generation that grew up with comically harsh corporeal punishment themselves and may view it as something that shaped them into the successful person they turned into is a bit weird. Like I got hit with a Belt growing up when I messed up, ditto with parents and grand parents etc etc. I won't hit mine, but It was mostly socially acceptable up until like maybe 5-10ish years ago(as long as you didn't go crazy overboard and leave marks). Once again, Beating kids is wrong as hell. But Actually going into the psychology of what makes parents do it, and then completely dismissing it as a good option is a good way for a show to handle it. poo poo like Madea and actually glorifying it is unacceptable yes, but Black-ish like it handles most of it's "serious" things does so pretty well I think.

B99 often has problems with completely nonsensical c-plots that they stuff in there to fill time. It usually works because the cast is so good, but that's the kind of stuff that keeps it from being great. Though I don't know how you can dislike it, Andre Braugher alone is a comedic paragon. He should totally be playing the new Frank Drebin.

It's when I gets really broad that I stop being able to stand it. The end of one of the latest episodes is a good example, when the nine-nine start fighting with the nine-eight and it's an office-wide brawl. That was just lovely.

I think B99's first season is top to bottom great, up there with maybe not the best but at least most/all of the good Parks & Rec episodes. The formula started to wear a bit thin throughout season 2 and now it's just kind of OK. Still good enough that I like watching any given new episode but I think it'd be better if it were to start to wind down/finish.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine wants to be Parks and Rec but unlike Parks and Rec it doesn't respect the stakes or plot developments of the world as established so devolves into one big nothing. it wants to have its cake and eat it too where it wants to be a laugh riot (it isn't that) but simultaneously be this very touching and affecting network sitcom where people grow and change (they don't, because the show periodically resets everything back to normal) even 30 Rock despite being even goofier and more absurdist of a world than either of the other two respected the plots they progressed, like all of Jack and Liz's awful relationships
