On The Death of Joss Carter
y'all, I'm heartbroken. I just got to the episode Carter dies and I am so sad.
Taraji P. Henson was hands down the best actor on that show and I just know this show is going to suffer without her. She was my personal favorite (maybe because I so rarely see black women in the shows I watch and although my feeling represented is increasing every day, I still find myself attaching to the few that look like me and aren't caricatures.)
Sure, Carter had a few of her own "strong black woman" moments, but all of the characters have raging independence and self-sacrificing issues. It's just a theme of the show. So idk if that applies here.
Carter was a strong and emotional woman with the greatest moral compass of any of the characters. She was intelligent, caring, intense, driven, broken, and so interesting. She was a fantastic character who built relationships with all different types of people because her compassion knew no bounds. She was certainly not perfect, but that helped make her interesting. She was such an icon.
Y'all I am so sad about this. Now I'm watching the aftermath, and I'm loving that Shaw and Reese are perfectly demonstrating the way grief affects people so far.
I loved Joss Carter. She was an amazing character, and I'm going to miss Henson's presence on the show.
Anywho, here are some gifs of a character I had too much love from a show that is a current fixation for me.
(P.S I am going to write some pieces on the relationships in this show because they are so beautiful and complex and maybe a tad unhealthy. I love intrapersonal relationships, I find them so fascinating. And how people write these relationships is just as interesting!)
