Glory ,'Potential'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

They vaguely acknowledged her race in The Shakespeare Code, but no one commented on the fact that she was wearing pants, which I found odd.
That is a pity. I was glad that Rose's desperately inappropriate garb was commented upon in the Werewolf ep - that whole "Wee Nekkid Child" thing. (Although it bothered me that there wasn't MORE made of it, rather.)

But wouldn't people have found a black person somewhat of a wonder in Elizabethan England? Even in London?

but she shouldn't have, that's my point.

yes, but there is a difference between finding someone different and finding them inferior. Of course, the issue in this ep is probably more class than race.
But, I think that the show has taken the decision to NOT make anything of race and they pretty much haven't.
I agree that the stuff this week was much more about class than race.

and it doesn't make any sense.
No, I'm guessing it's their version of color-blind casting.
