Although I too have missed the main characters in many recent episodes this piece of divergence is just spectacular.
When it starts, right after the tedious camping episode, I really had no idea what I was watching...had Disney let this go out?
The last media professor almost let it slip when she referred to 1992 in LA as the uprising, but I still wasn't sure.
It was a spoof right?? I paused and started fact checking...then started laughing. Really hard. Just brilliant.
Layer on layer of the story builds up. The stills and aged video clips.
The very idea that the saccharine empire would go within a million miles of the real black experience...frickin genius.
Mr. Glover, kudos. Damn son. Kydos.
