A nice subtle touch is when the guy on the left sneaks a look at Claire. She calmly turns and looks right back and he quickly looks away. She was so elegant and confident.
After seeing this show I really appreciated my negroe sister more but her feminist rant to Alvin was the rantings of a nonmelonated white woman not a Negroe woman it didn't fit Clair negroe women are oppressed in a totally different way all women are not sisters.
I never liked that that moment or this one was referred to as a "rant." It makes it sound as if Claire was out of control, but she was thoroughly together and collected when responding to ignorance. Her reaction here was perfect.
I ❤️d how handled herself in this...... Very mature ... calm.... Cool....but she did put them in their place.. she's was right for not wanting to control on the show! Way 2 go.... clair!
What's funny is Claire just then realized why she was on that show? ... That was hilarious...now at the end is the answer not to even stay in a situation like that when you realize you are being used, makes no sense to mess your own mind up that way with fools.
Please stop talking and laughing if you are going to put these on youtube. We appreciate your time and effort. They are really good clips and scenes but the extra noise is distracting!
I was kinda hoping Claire would be in over her head during the discussion, perhaps showing for once in the show's history that she's not the perfect, infalliable, all-knowing goddess the show constantly makes her out to be--but of course, she just has to always know just what to say in any given situation and be smarter than virtually everyone she comes across. It's hard to enjoy a character who can do no wrong.
I agree with you. Clair was always portrayed as being too perfect, and smarter than everyone on earth. Would have been nice if this episode had her being in over her head. Show even the great Clair Huxtable isn't perfect.
The show never portrayed her as perfect. She was portrayed as Lawyer and as a Lawyer she was outspoken and assertive. I just watched a clip showing Claire telling Dr. Huxtable that he gave their daughter the wrong instruction on strep strep-throat but she did that so she would have an excuse to worry and tend to her child. She definitely has weaknesses if you looked closely. Don't let her assertiveness blind her other characteristics.
