TV

Nip/Tuck

[22.Jan.08] :. This is classic Nip/Tuck, a moment of complication, perhaps even "truth," amongst the regular soap operatics. It's one of the rewards for sitting through much of the rest of the show.

Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World: The Complete First Season

[20.Nov.07] :. The show reasserts the dominant logic of recent lesbian and gay politics that idealizes hetero-style domesticity.

Outing Riley

[16.Nov.07] :. This is Outing Riley's general message of liberal tolerance: if we knew more about each other, we could all get along.

Life is Wild

[5.Oct.07] :. While Life is Wild is structured as a sort of fishes-out-of-water tale, it is more accurately described as a neo-colonial fantasy.

Aliens in America

[1.Oct.07] :. Aliens in America critiques U.S. disciplining of differences of all sorts, despite the usual trumpeting of a dedication to "multiculturalism" and "diversity."

Heroes

[26.Sep.07] :. The disease furthers Heroes' allegorizing of its genetic mutants as outsiders, aliens, and queers.

Heroes

[25.May.07] :. Heroes' set-up was both simple ("Save the cheerleader, save the world") and impressively complex.
