Both episodes feature a female officer being abducted and later participating in a fight to the death, which both parties survive. In further coincidence, both episodes are the fourth episodes of their shows’ first season.
What the fuck, man? Nobody said anything about “blatant racism”, and you downvote me, too? I am not familiar with either of these episodes just by their name. I’m simply responding to the idea that the same person can write good things and terrible things for TV.
okay yes in general but these episodes are extremely racist nonsense so your defense isn’t accurate in this case at all.
Maybe don’t weigh in on things you don’t understand then?
If you don’t know what the episodes are and why they are problematic, I’m not sure why you’d wasn’t to try and defend the episode writing…
The topic is specifically about a writer reusing the same script for two different TV series. Not about racism. I’m not sure who invited the censors who want to stop people from talking about one thing just because it’s related to something else.
