Star Wars + “I have a bad feeling about this”
remember the white dress i wore all through that film? george came up to me the first day of filming, took one look at the dress and said: “you can’t wear a bra under that dress.”
“ok, i’ll bite,” i said. “why?” and he said: “because… there’s no underwear in space.”
he said it with such conviction. like he had been to space and looked around and he didn’t see any bras or panties anywhere.
he explained. “you go into space and you become weightless. then your body expands but your bra doesn’t, so you get strangled by your own underwear.”
i think that this would make for a fantastic obituary. i tell my younger friends that no matter how i go, i want it reported that i drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.
rest in peace, carrie fisher (october 21st, 1956 - december 27th, 2016)

“Underground”: New TV series explores black resistance in slave-era America
Underground is harrowing and compelling new 10 episode TV show centered on a group of slaves planning a daring all-or-nothing 600-mile escape from a Georgia plantation. It premieres on March 9th on WGN America.
The journey and escape of thousands of slaves to free states and Canada in the 19th century is one of the most fascinating and defiant parts of American history but one that has received little attention on television or in movies.
The relationships and the agendas of the series’ slave characters, the people who claim ownership and domain over them, the hunters who seek to snare them and the abolitionists who fight to help them find freedom form a complex and intriguing mosaic in this new TV epic.
Why this might actually work:
1. It was created, written and co-produced by a black woman
Misha Green is a writer and producer who has worked on shows including Sons of Anarchy and Heroes.
“One day my sister said to me, ‘You should do a show about the Underground Railroad.’ I liked the idea. I immediately knew the title would be the ‘Underground.’ I knew I wanted it to be epic and big. So I went to Joe Polaski, the co–creator of Underground. We had a great history.
We decided to see it from all perspectives: from the slaves running to those left behind on the plantation, to the slave catchers going after them to those helping along the way. The more we researched, we found truth is stranger than fiction. We knew it was the right time for a television series”
2. It’s not another tragic slave era story exploiting black pain for dramatic effect
Misha Green: “It’s not about the occupation; it’s about the revolution. This is a story that has not been told before. We have a little paragraph in some history books about this time period. But this is an inspiring story that shows what can be accomplished when we stick together. It shows how people traveled 600 miles with people hunting them every step to get to freedom. It shows the ingenuity they used.“
Aldis Hodge, the shows lead protagonist said “to be called a slave is to be called a thing. It’s like being cattle or a machine. We depicted it from the viewpoint that these people are enslaved Americans, and we celebrate their strengths.”
3. It gives a deeper look into the slave resistance than ever before
Unlike many slave dramas that have gone before, this is not a sepia-tinted period drama or a revisionist fantasy. Underground explores the social, moral, and political complexities of this period. It gives viewers a historically accurate glimpse of how the clandestine system of the Underground Railroad operated.
“The Underground Railroad is one sentence – one paragraph – in history books, and they sum it up to one person, the amazing legend of Harriet Tubman,” says Smollett-Bell who plays Rosalee, a shy but internally strong house slave. “But there were thousands of people who risked their lives and who were actively changing our nation.”
Actor Alano Miller who plays Cato said “At first, when it was pitched to me, it was ‘slave drama,’ and that made me cringe. But then I read the script and the humanity; it was about the revolution. The writing was just so excellent; it had so much depth to it and it wasn’t one-dimensional.”
4. It has a stellar cast
As well as being executive produced by John Legend, Underground stars True Blood’s Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Straight Outta Compton’s Aldis Hodge, Jane The Virgin’s Alano Miller, Arrow’s Jessica de Gouw, Law & Order: SVU alum Christopher Meloni, Amirah Vann and Justified’s Mykelti Williamson, among others. Empire’s Jussie Smollett and Treme’s Renwick Scott also guest star.
5. The soundtrack’s gunna be great
John Legend is the show’s music producer, so you know it’s going to be good. The moody R&B and blues rock soundtrack to Underground “emphasizes the struggles of the South in this tumultuous time.“
Underground premieres on March 9th on WGN America.

“It’s not another tragic Slave era story exploiting black pain for dramatic effect.”
But it literally is?
I agree that it’s a little more than that. We don’t have any good depictions of the Underground Railroad outside of just brief mentions. I can appreciate what it’s trying to emphasize even though it simultaneously forces us to deal with our painful past while white continue to profit from it
It’s important that we add nuance and depth to our understanding of our own history. This is our past, yours and mine. Yes it’s painful, but are we really just going to say, let’s forget about this 250+ year era that still shapes our lives today? Are we really going to ignore our own stories and forget about the sacrifice, pain, courage and brilliance of our own families, our own ancestors?
I wrote “it’s not another tragic slave era story exploiting black pain for dramatic effect” because it isn’t. That’s not the intention. It’s not there to show downtrodden black people being whipped from sun down to sun up just to be provocative. This is a black-led show. It’s there to show us the resolve and ingenuity of our people and to add another angle on a little discussed topic.
And that is important and necessary.
Im watching. You hoes stay mad. This is created, written, AND produced by a black WOMAN who is illustrating not just the resilience of black people, but also our lack of complacency in our oppression. I know we want to move from slave narratives but they’re just as important and vital. Especially when they are directly challenging this white supremacist notion of black people needing slavery.
