Everything was all doom and gloom about the Senate impeachment trial this week, but I already expected it to be a sham. Why would anyone believe Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski would actually vote for the good of the country? Kushner's so-called "peace plan" for Israel was shitty, as expected too. Why would I be shocked about any of that stuff? Democrats need to stop being so defeatist after every setback, like when the Mueller report came out and nothing happened for months. We still won victories, and Trump's still impeached forever.
No, the thing I was most upset about was Terry Crews being an asshole to Gabrielle Union. He talked like her complaints of racism and sexism were imaginary and not credible. So many people were begging Crews to just shut up, or at least say "let's wait for the investigation to end." He's finally backed down and apologized publicly, but it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth to see how big a hypocrite he could be. Not a true ally. It dampens my enthusiasm for Brooklyn Nine Nine's return. Hopefully the rest of the ensemble will make up for it.
At least The Good Place finale was good. It did manage to surprise me by having Tahani choosing to become an architect, and Michael become a human. I'm glad that Eleanor found a new purpose and did more good deeds after Chidi went through the door. It showed real emotional growth and maturity in her. Jason and Janet had touching goodbyes too. I only regret that so much of the last season was wasted, and Simone wasn't even used well after making her the reason for Chidi's mind wipe. The writers made things come full circle, though, crafting a satisfying, hopeful ending.
