You literally called the old guy a minority in your comments. And the point is that the annoying white straight guy lives so that they could give you the line that you said was your favourite in the episode... (and like I said a really important like in the context of the show so I’m glad you picked up on it). Anyway. Yeah moving on...! :) x

2020-03-05 19:38:17 +0000 UTCWow... not a favourite of mine but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone hate it quite that much...! 😂 I am going to strike an argument in response to your comments about the minorities.. so this episode was supposed to be a pastiche of The Poseidon Adventure which meant most of the cast needed to die. Therefore almost everyone was going to die regardless of gender, size, race etc. But the point is that it’s a good thing that in a cast of 7 or 8 main speaking parts they had a black man, overweight actors, a little person actor, a gay actor (who didn’t die incidentally!), etc. And if the shit white straight man hadn’t been the person to survive at the end then it would have taken away from that line about choosing who lives and who dies - which is (as you pointed out) a really important line (not just for this episode but for a number of episodes to come). I get your sensitivity to it - I am too, you’ll probably have noticed in my Buffy reactions - but I think in this case we should really be celebrating the diversity that the cast had anyway. But like you said, not the best episode - I’m fascinated to know what you’ll think of Season 4, in many people’s top seasons.
