Minority Mindset

It’s incredibly cruel to take advantage of someone who’s vulnerable and hurting. Kizzi and Joe start flirting while V is still around, though mostly absent. After Kizzi turns down David, explaining she can’t risk her job, she confides in Joe that she seems to attract men who are overly dependent. Joe playfully admits to being one of them, and Kizzi jokingly calls him an idiot for being tied down. In that moment, they both recognize a shared, somewhat cynical side to each other – a darkness they find strangely appealing, and spend the rest of the episode acknowledging and enjoying.

I was so heartbroken to hear about Tony Geary. I shared a few thoughts on X this morning, trying to capture just how incredible he was. Honestly, no one shone as brightly as Tony. He was truly one of a kind. As an actor, he was just so committed to honesty, even if it meant being a little rough around the edges – but he always made you laugh! He was the ultimate anti-hero, always challenging things, but even people who usually played it safe couldn’t help but smile. He completely ruined me for working with other leading men – no one will ever measure up. I’m absolutely crushed and going to miss him terribly, but I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with him.

A highlight of Avatar: The Last Airbender season two is the character Toph, who quickly became a fan favorite in the original animated series. She’s known for being energetic, witty, and a skilled earthbender, and these traits offer a lot of potential for the new live-action adaptation. However, early looks at the Netflix version, played by Miya Cech, suggest a more mature and traditionally feminine portrayal of Toph. This feels like an odd and disappointing creative decision.
