You know...I never really considered how that scene could've bombed. I mean, she's so brilliant it totally didn't even hit me how inexcusably lame and sexist it could've played out. This is how she's awesome, she saves it without being obvious. Although it's a shame that they always underestimate her because she's so subtle about her performance. *sighs* Her scene here reminds me, in a way, of Irresistible- horrible horrible ep, but she was utterly lovely and bubbly and wonderful. And hey, SPEAKING OF SEXISM. *coughcough*
*eyebrows shoot up* I honestly didn't realize it was still a big deal. Back in the 1960s, maybe, but- well, when did your friend marry, though? In this day and age, I might understand trepidation about a Muslim groom- not that I'm saying *I* think it's a problem, but with the current climate of paranoia about terrorists, I could see how people might freak out for no good reason- but a black man? Well, at least she got such thoughtful wedding gifts. Damn.
