Supernatural 7x12 "Time after Time after Time" spoiler discussion
- Thread starter Dorian Thompson
- Start date
2 weeks of repeats, then February sweeps. I think it's because SPN got an extra episode order or something like that. I was disappointed, too. I'm actually home to enjoy it and no new episode, darnit.
Yes, but a great deal of bad things occurred in that episode because history changed, too. Wasn't it because the natural order of things was changed or something like that? FYI, it's only about 6 more weeks before Jared and Genvieve's baby arrives. Not too long now. Probably seems like it to her since she's tiny and carrying the spawn of the ginormous Mr. Padalecki.

Darn it. I was looking forward to watching it tonight.
Ah well.
Ah well.
Oh no wonder my DVR didn't record it, there was no new episode to record!
The Torso Murders came to world wide celebrity after one of the bodies was found with a swastika carved into it, which forced the standing fearless leader of the Third Reich to bare comment on what a shit hole America was, which he had no reservation about doing.
Brian Michael Bendis produced a graphic novel on the subject called "Torso".
But why I'm resurrecting this thread?
I gave the episode to a friend to watch and he hated it.
I retorted "not even the line about the president being black and cheese in a can?"
"Not even that" he glowers, devaluing me as a person.
However, it got me thinking.
No one in 1947 is going to know what the word "black" means in this context.
Negro was the polite word back then.
It's possible that Jenson's audience inside the story, did not make the connection and must have assumed that black meant something else, because there is no way that he meant "The President is a Negro".
That's impossible.
I wonder what they misunderstood him to mean?

My understanding is that the term black was actually used (though, infrequently) back then. It just wasn't as common as negro and held more of stigma.
I live on the other side of the world.
These things are academic and displaced from my experience.
I remember laughing years after seeing the film, while introspecting on Oprah's body of work and yoyo body issues, when I finally got "The Colour Purple".

I asked my mother, who grew up in the 40s and 50s. She said "negro" was the more often used term, but "black" came up every now and then. Negro was considered the polite term.
Thank you very much for your help.
