Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Black people don't need no representation? Asian people represented in old school kung fu classics?

Haven't seen any Indian people yet--but by calling it El Rey, I guess you're clearly leading with Hispanics. It's just the claim for larger general representation...dodgy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My impression is that it's Latino representation + stuff he likes, not that the goal is overall diversity. But again, that's literally just from a 6 minute interview months ago.

Are we discussing Longmire (A&E) anywhere? I caught an episode because of Starbuck feels (Katee Sackhoff is one of the main characters), and I'm really enjoying it. The scenery is amazing, and I think most of the actors are doing a really good job with their roles.

There were kung fu movies running underneath the mission statement, so if that's what he meant, bad pairing.

So far the Latin@ I've seen have been Rodriguez's own stuff and Jessica Alba. I think he just wants to have fun.

IIRC from the interview (same one Jesse saw) he kind of said "I wish there was a network that did [a bunch of stuff he wanted including but not exclusively more Hispanic representation not necessarily speaking Spanish] - maybe I can start one". Which I appreciate.

I'm watching Longmore, Calli. This certainly seems like the right place for it, though I don't know that there has bbeen much in the way of discussion. Are you jumping in with the current season or starting at the beginning or what?

I'm watching Longmire as well. I watched last season, but feel the quality of the episodes has increased this time around!

I'm little worried about the goings on with Branch, though. He has never been my favorite character and this turn of events could careen wildly into the cheesy.

I'm much more interested in Henry's welfare. Fingers crossed!

I marathoned Longmire on Netflix, and now I'm catching up with the current season. I haven't seen the latest episode yet.

I love Henry's character! I'm a bit concerned they may be moving toward a Walt/Vic relationship, which wouldn't be my inclination. I think a Henry/Vic relationship could be healthy, if the show a) needs to introduce a romance, and b) has Vic divorce her husband.

I do like the long arcs on the show. Things from the first season are coming to fruition now, which is kinda awesome.

Oh, god, I hope not. Just no.

Wow, Fargo finale next week already!

You know, early in the episode I thought to myself "Lorne Malvo does not give a fuck" but I was still somehow shocked when he was telling those kinds about Lester hearing noises from the basement.

Poor Linda. And just when I was really curious about why she lied about leaving Las Vegas.
