"content": "\u003cp>Let me start with a confession: I have seen every single episode of \u003cem>Keeping Up With The Kardashians\u003c/em> and its 5 spin-offs (that's 114 episodes, in case you're wondering how much of my life I've spent thinking about these people versus learning a new language or how to paint a bowl of fruit or undertaking some other worthy pursuit). I have also on numerous occasions defended various members of the Kardashian clan, usually Khloe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why the debate? Because the prevailing notion is that they're famous for no reason (it's true that they don't have talent in the traditional sense, but they're able to create a heightened version of their family life for television that has kept people interested since 2007 and that's something). Another major criticism is that they will do anything for more publicity and fame (I concede this point).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, there's been a lot of family drama, to say the least. Everything from \u003ca href=\"http://24.media.tumblr.com/76bb457e6ec3abb8b494daaa1ae9901e/tumblr_mgy6efziOT1ql5yr7o2_250.gif\">standard sibling bickering\u003c/a> to 72 days marriages to serious drug addictions. No matter what kind of craziness goes on, Bruce Jenner is on the sidelines, offering advice that no one heeds. He pretty much stays out of the way and, in recent years, has appeared to disdain his now ex-wife, Kris, and the things she and her children hold dear: looks, fame, name brands, money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was a bit shocking when buzz started to circulate around Jenner for once. Because he prefers his hair long and appears to have an affinity for plastic surgery, rumors began to swirl that he was transitioning. Those two characteristics aren't enough to make assumptions regarding gender identity, yet here we are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family has not publicly commented on Bruce allegedly being trans, but, earlier this year, Kim had this to say, when asked about her stepfather: \"I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right. I feel like that's his journey to talk about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, either she means what she says about his supposed transition not being her story to tell...or — and I really hope it isn't this or — she is teasing around the issue, using terminology that could be applied to a transition, but actually is about something mundane like his transition from being married for 24 years to being single in his 60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All our questions will be answered when the much-hyped interview with Diane Sawyer airs on April 24, 2015. The promos tease: \"The Journey, The Decisions, The Future.\" And Jenner is quoted as saying: \"My whole life has been getting me ready for this.\" Again, words that could be about being trans, but are not specific enough to get anyone in trouble if this all turns out to be a ratings ploy. It's not their fault we assumed they were talking about being trans, right? No one ever said anything explicitly about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=12&v=ptb0Z1nkjEE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That level of manipulation seems extreme, even for the Kardashians, but what if they truly go there, in order to get some buzz and to assure that Bruce, who is no longer tied as tightly to the Kardashian empire, still gets a check? Using the very serious topic of trans people owning their truth and enduring everything that comes with that, in order to stay on magazine covers and keep people talking would be wildly insensitive, to say the least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems outlandish to think they would take the risk of pissing off so many people, but I worry nonetheless because I've seen this kind of thing play out with them before. A few years ago, there were rumors that Khloe had a different father than the rest of her siblings.

We’ve had 14 years to think about the reasons why it happened, to think about what happened after, and to ask ourselves hard questions without neat answers. The most challenging and best realized television shows of that first decade after 9/11 struggled to talk about what we couldn’t yet grasp. The story told by three of those series—\u003cem>Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Wire—\u003c/em>can be seen as a triptych response to a catastrophic event like 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reboot of \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica \u003c/em>first aired as a miniseries on SyFy (at the time just called plain ol’ Sci-Fi) in 2003, and it debuted as a regular series in October 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Standard operating procedure: \u003cstrong>spoilers\u003c/strong> exist herein for beloved shows that are 10+ years old, and they will be referenced casually.

Evil robots—built by the colonists, treated like slaves—have risen up and massacred their former masters.

And if you did a show, you had an opportunity and a responsibility to talk about what we were going through as a culture and what was going on in the world… and to ask hard questions and not really deliver neat answers every week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I always thought there was a kind of egotism to the idea that a show of television could [say] ‘Well, here’s how Al-Qaeda could be dealt with, and here’s the answer to Iraq, and here’s the answer to terrorism.’ It was important to me that the show just asked you questions and challenged your assumptions, and if you came out of the end of that experience with your beliefs confirmed, fine. And if you came out the other side with your beliefs challenged, that was great too. I just wanted you to think for 45 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9/11 was so awful, so unexpected, yet understandable in retrospect. The only equitable response was to raise the questions of why it happened, how it happened, and what we do now. \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica,\u003c/em> from 2003 until 2009, explored the immediate aftermath of trauma, grief, and who we choose to be and who we turn to when we fall down. It looks like it’s about robots, war, and revenge, but ultimately it’s about the cost of inhumanity, war, and revenge. It posits, over and over again, that there’s no finish line to war. The mission is never accomplished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You fight and you run, and then you keep fighting, you keep running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only way out is to forgive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKqG5NOvAG8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s another full season after this moment with Gaius Baltar, the series’ traitor to end all traitors, but \u003cem>BSG\u003c/em> essentially ends with forgiveness.

We’ve had 14 years to think about the reasons why it happened, to think about what happened after, and to ask ourselves hard questions without neat answers. The most challenging and best realized television shows of that first decade after 9/11 struggled to talk about what we couldn’t yet grasp. The story told by three of those series—\u003cem>Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Wire—\u003c/em>can be seen as a triptych response to a catastrophic event like 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reboot of \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica \u003c/em>first aired as a miniseries on SyFy (at the time just called plain ol’ Sci-Fi) in 2003, and it debuted as a regular series in October 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Standard operating procedure: \u003cstrong>spoilers\u003c/strong> exist herein for beloved shows that are 10+ years old, and they will be referenced casually.

And if you came out the other side with your beliefs challenged, that was great too. I just wanted you to think for 45 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9/11 was so awful, so unexpected, yet understandable in retrospect. The only equitable response was to raise the questions of why it happened, how it happened, and what we do now. \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica,\u003c/em> from 2003 until 2009, explored the immediate aftermath of trauma, grief, and who we choose to be and who we turn to when we fall down. It looks like it’s about robots, war, and revenge, but ultimately it’s about the cost of inhumanity, war, and revenge. It posits, over and over again, that there’s no finish line to war.
