BM/WW IR sightings on TV

[CAKicker]

I was just thinking about trying that show. Can you give some context to that kiss in spoiler tags?

I don't watch the show, I only saw that part because mom watches the show & it was time to give her eyedrops, I just caught it at the right time.

That's not accurate. The IR relationship is on again off again. They have issues but still get together seasonally lol. It is the political season so they are both in mid-season form. Life in Washington D.C. was like this when I worked as a summer intern at the U.S. Attorneys office.

These people live in a traveling political election season circus. The IR couple is not official because they cannot be . . . it would be too hazardous professionally due to their careers understand. She is press corp and he is Chief of Staff for the Hillary Clinton character who lost the previous election but is running again on the surprise tip.

That's crazy, I interned with the US Attorney's office too. I didn't get anywhere near the politics though.

Your description makes sense. I'm for sure more of a relationship guy, but at least we finally got Melissa doing the types of scenes we all expected after season 1 of Supergirl lol

Fire Country Scores Season 3 Renewal At CBS


CBS has renewed the hit Friday night drama Fire Country for a third season.

From creators and executive producers Tony Phelan, Joan Rater, and Max Thieriot, the series follows Bode Donovan (Thieriot), a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California. The program partners inmates with elite firefighters to extinguish unpredictable wildfires across the region.

Jordan Calloway and Sabina Gadecki in CBS' Fire Country.

I just watched last week's episode of "Fire Country" (Season 2, Episode 5):

Spoiler

Jake has been planning to propose to Cara for the last couple episodes or so, but she died due to injuries from the accident in the promo clip I posted at the end of the episode. Also the other characters finally found out about Cara's secret.

i watched most of the 3BP, didn’t really care for it, but there’s plenty of subtext on the show to establish their “on & off again” status. Not much heat to any of the relationships on the show.

I spoiled myself with internet searches about the show The Baxter’s, not going to watch it, but am curious if someone invests the time. Faith-based programming with complicated character development and motivations is a good idea, but that ir ship seems to traffic in what some on this forum—including me—would prefer to avoid. It’s in the trailer so I’m not spoiling anything.

Do you mind throwing up some spoiler tags and letting us know how the ir couple goes? I'm trying to figure out if this show is worth my time. Thx man

Why is this not even a little surprising?

The Black husband cheats on his wife. The wife tries to get back with her white ex. Black husband develops a problem with alcohol. She finds out she’s pregnant with Black husband’s baby. They both end their extramarital side hustles. He goes into treatment for alcoholism. At the end of season 1, Black husband is killed by a man obsessed with the woman with whom he had been cheating. Wife marries her ex at the beginning of season 3. This recap does not have narrative nuance and downplays the religious focus of the story. Some might think it’s lovely, but it’s not my cup of tea. I think they fell into a common IR trap. Black man as prep and circumstance for the real love interest.

the actress who plays the wife is very attractive, if that’s any consolation.

Yeah it's a mixed bag for sure and in a way it is the same old same old, but I do like how they committed to staying together and working on their marriage. And if the Black man had not died they would have been together because she chose him over the White guy, in fact they chose each other. Of course it all ended in a predictable racist manner. Hollywood racism in a nutshell.

Yeah that is NOT a good bm/ww IR. Nor is it good for Black Male Characters in TV & Cinema. They clearly used him to make themselves("white love") look good. That's Hollywood racism indeed when they do Black Men foul to add a white love story.

That is straight awful. Pretty much the opposite of what I like to see. No joke, thanks for sharing and saving me the trouble of watching that mess.

I liked it but

Spoiler

I wish they actually fucked when they were at Vault 4...there this weirdass thing in Liberal Hollywood where they do unneeded slow roles and have the Black guy get offered sex but choose not to smash. Meanwhile they will have these white girls instantly fuck some irrelevant white side character. Reminds me of Wynonna Earp where they let Wynonna be in a triangle with Dolls and Doc Holiday...but Dolls aint allowed to smash that. Nah some random white one night stand can get some though...Obviously I don't think Fallout will be that bad. THere is no triangle BS, and the other main white dude is ugly (The Ghoul) and not interested. Still just a thought.

LOL. When I saw these posts about the Amazon's "Fallout" show yesterday, I was meh about it becuz of the lack of info in the posts. But hours later I saw some of the anti-IRRs Twitter crowd (@Rollx007 knows the crowd I'm talking about) complaining about the 'ship becuz the chick involved in the IR 'ship is the female lead. Also the Wikipedia page for the show has the brotha as 2nd billing. OK, I'm in. Y'all should've lead with that info. I assumed it was just a minor irrelevant 1-episode kiss involving minor recurring/guest characters.

I legit had this Fallout show confused with the upcoming Borderlands movie. I was like "why is that on Amazon???" and "where is Kevin Hart???" LOL!

I get exactly what you mean. Craziest part is I bet at least half the time these writers and producers don't even do this bs consciously.

LMAO, me too! I was confused about Amazon's whole promotion the last month and didn't finally realize this Amazon "Fallout" show & the upcoming "Borderlands" film are 2 completely different Hollywood projects until I saw the posts in this thread a couple days ago.

I just watched the first 2 episodes. Reading your spoiler is even worse after

Spoiler

the entirely unnecessary "wedding night" sex scene in episode one.

This kinda thing really is annoying.

That's crazy, I interned with the US Attorney's office too. I didn't get anywhere near the politics though.
