hmmmm, who would've guessed that it'd take an arc involving a character from a previous (better) season to show us what we could be missing?? anyway, faith is back and it turns out we MISSED HER, that crazy fool.

at this point, if we start off not liking a character, that's a pretty good indicator that eventually we're going to feel really really bad for them. case in point: riley! not case in point: forrest!

RIP professor walsh!! you had literally zero motivation in the end. good riddance

happy race relations, everyone! this week's episode actually does a decent job of discussing oppression, race and white guilt. enjoy it while it lasts!
