That scene when they walk into the gay bar and Wyatt says "he's looking at me like I'm a piece of meat" and Lucy responds with "Can't imagine what that feels like" is SO IMPORTANT because here is a strong, brave, intelligent woman who too often has been reduced to nothing more than a pretty face by people who think she isn't capable of anything greater because she's a woman, and she puts up with it because she's on a mission and she needs to protect history even though she's dying to give these men a piece of her mind, but no she has to focus and although she's desperate to change at least this thing about history she can't she has to stay on task. There was an entire season's worth of frustration in that one sentence of hers and I'm so happy this show doesn't shy away from addressing these things. This show talks about overlooked achievements of people of color and women in history. One of their three main leads is black and is arguably the most intelligent of the three. They show a committed relationship between two women who have children like it's no big deal. So many important people in this show are educated in the sciences and respected for it, instead of being mocked by non-scientific people for being intelligent (as I have seen in too many other shows/movies/books). And now they've addressed homosexuality in a more serious way too. I'm proud of this show and can only pray it gets renewed.
