SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Martin and Smitty make sense as a couple. It's good to see the writers having the characters put in the work for their relationship. Wish they'd do that for Ted and Nicole, otherwise what was the point of their marriage?

Ugh, they're pushing Nicole to Carlton when we don't have the whole picture on what he knew and when he knew it. I don't like it, not when they haven't had Nicole really deal with her the implosion of her marriage. #BeyondTheGates

I am so terrified of what other surprises October has in store for us. Grab some snacks and throw out your bingo cards because we're only in week one of this month.

Martin is so impatient to get Smitty's forgiveness he refuses to do the one thing that WOULD fix it. Allow time to pass so Smitty can deal with it in his own way and find a way to let him back in. Something Nicole isn't doing with Ted. #BeyondTheGates

You know what would've been nice: SEEING NICOLE GIVE THE EULOGY! #BeyondTheGates

The writers could've given us a storyline about Andre coming back home and having to really deal witht he loss of his parents. Instead they put him in a ridiculous love triangle. #BeyondTheGates

The writers have Nicole not even trying to find some way to accept what Ted did and figure out how their marriage could work with knowing what she knows. It's like she can't get away fast enough. Which makes me wonder did she ever love him or the idea of him? And their family? #BeyondTheGates
