totally agree with ur tags abt michelle krusiec. i mean, look at lucy liu even. i know its been said before but her name recognition is huge and after kill bill she should have been hollywood royalty but instead she kinda never got a good film role after that. wtf

 Oh, huh, that’s true. I guess I thought Elementary took up her time, but yeah, no, there were quite a few years between. And she did well, relatively! It’s been pretty sad to see, both Krusiec and Lynn Chen on Twitter and other places have remarked on not getting the roles after Saving Face they’d expected and now it’s 15 years later and they’ve kind of aged out of those opportunities altogether. It’s getting a little better now, of course, but things with non-white leads are still very much the exception and are defined by it.

might only be new to me tho lol but i was watching the storm episode, and just now noticed how when everyone is panicking, specially Vera, it’s Marcela trying to get her to stay calm, and then she puts her hand on Vera’s thigh and there’s this look Vera gives like… idk what but she certainly noticed. And then tried to be calm while talking to the old guy. I think that’s the actual first 100% certain clue that they were going for romance but I only NOW noticed it! that entire ep is THE shift

 Oh, that moment! I didn’t pick up on it at either, but other people saw it and pointed it out. Honestly, I don’t know that I’d have realized they meant to go somewhere from that one little look, y’all are way more prescient than me.
