Just watched the pilot episode and I think it's going to be a winner (full disclosure, I'm rather partial to Nathan Fillion). Great ensemble cast. Good storytelling. Interesting interpersonal dynamics. I'm giving this pilot an 8 (great) out of 10, with anticipation it is only going to get better. [Cop drama]
Did they spend so much money on the shitty CGI beast that they can't afford to properly light scenes?
What on earth were those accents?? "Ze 'unting partiee leafs at dorn"???? What are you doing!?
All these sick jokes were probably to lessen the impact of her death. I still didn't like 'em, I also think they let her die wayyy too soon, yet the season is at a close so we need to shakes things up. Right?
The writing has been really subpar this season overall. But then again, having her stay longer makes the audience more attached to her. So that character was a lose-lose situation from the get-go anyway.
It was a short pleasure nontheless. Isobel enriched the series and gave the show some spark back, something that was missing for this entire season and a lot in S3. It was great as well having her break the fourth wall at the end. A last farewell in a sense to the audience, kinda reminds me off that one particular character in OitnB.
I thought Symone would be on the top
Very poor acting from Crystal Reed and those accents were the worst in TV history. JD should have had them speak actual French, with subtitles. Subpar episode, from one of the most mediocre shows on TV. Shame really, because the earlier seasons were stellar.
Interesting and lovely Bill Plympton (Plymptoons) animation for the couch gag; reminds me of something I used to see on MTV
And Amazon owning CircuitCity, hehe, that'd would be something :-)
Derek should not have lasted this long with drag this terrible! And so mean on top of that? Bye guuurl, good riddance!
The challenge wasn't as fun as I wanted.
Silky overshadows everyone and Shuga was her victim. Brooke is improving which is good!
The runway well Nina was nice and Brooke as well! Liked Yvie and Shuga!
i agree with the ones that lypsinced Vanjie and Plastique! And well Plastique was the worst so bye gurl bye
WTF are you kidding? Ra'Jah can't dance really well, can't act, she's not funny and doesn't have a big personality, doesn't have good runways, she's not memorable at all and she was saved? Even if Scarlett was send home just based on this challenge i don't think she deserved it! She was very consistent and week after week she look amazing on runway, i mean, she literally was robbed last episode.
NOW THAT WAS THE FACE CRACK OF THE SEASON.
I am a little disappointed that Dela won't be continuing to the end, but obviously the responsibilities of winning weren't easy for her. She deserved to win the title, but she won on her own terms an I'm proud of my fave campy queen. What a way to go.
Also it was really sweet that she brought Morgan back. Like everything came full circle and I was kind of touched. I'm excited to see what Morgan brings to the competition
Unsurprisingly, Brooklyn continues to knock it out of the dang park week after week. This is one of the best episodes they've ever done! Loved every single thing about it. Especially that ending <3
I can't believe on those runway looks. Seriously, Madonna has over 30 years of career and everyone do gueisha?
THIS should've been the moment for a double shantay, personally I don't think Kandy was better than Olivia but both of them were good so...
Acid Betty rolls her eyes so much in this episode, I thought they would stay at the back of her head and never come back.
Very sad when the crew arrived back at the base and no one was there to welcome Naird home. I had the same experience when I was in the Navy and returned to the U.S. from a six month deployment; my family was still on the other side of the country and could not be there to greet me.
That's why I dislike the idea of giving the queens the right to eliminate each other. This is shangela all over again.
They keep saying that they hope this show gives you encouragement to try your best/dreams come true if you give it your all, but
all I got from the outcome in this episode that even if you excel at what you do someone with the power over your fate could end it all
which doesn't seem fair but makes a good TV for sure! now we know 100% that trinity will win because the competition just voted out
for slaying it every week.
"Oh God, he can't stand. The ovation is insensitive, everybody down!" was genius and hysterical.
So were many comments made regarding similar topics and social concepts entertaining. Like the ramp thing.
If it can keep this up I sense a great new comedy show.
I also really, really like the reactions of the audience over at IMDB and RT for this pilot.
People claiming this is offensive and disgusting to make fun of a handicapped person like they allegedly do here.
I hate it, when you criticise something and someone else says to you, you mistunderstood it. Especially in anime this is an annyoing comeback to any criticism. If you don't like Minnie Driver and find her overbearing here, sure, okay. That's one thing.
But I think in this case it is pretty obvious that the comedy pokes fun at how we perceive disabled people and treat them. How we claim we want them to be included but exclude them even more as a society. By complaining how offensive this is, you do the same thing. It's the classic issue: should we include a person with a specific attribute by making fun of something regarding it or should we not, to not point that attribute out but exclude that person in the process and handle that person special that way?
Example for criticial undertones:
The school is for inclusion. So they got rid off the male-sexual-aggression-Viking mascot. It could be a reference to 3rd wave feminism. Because everything slightly "too male" is automatically considered bad and needs to be changed to not offend anyone.
The ramp thing in the back of the building by the dumpsters: inclusion by separating wheelchair and non-wheelchair, letting the former sneak in out of sight.
The ovation thing (and making him a candidate for president) references those paradox situations as well. A "don't offend anyone" mentality where you accidentally do stuff that could be considered offensive nevertheless, even if the opposite is your actual intention. While it's not necessarily pointed out by the person that should be offended but by others "for" them.
The AV club has a good review for the first two episodes

I realize there'll never be any sort of a romantic relationship between Mary and Darnley, but I want so bad for them to at least be allies. Why can't he stay a decent human being for more than a little while at a time? They could be so good for eachother if he wasn't such a power hungry jerk.
I'm diggin' this Archduke dude, I so hope he doesn't turn out to be a creep. Elizabeth would be so much more chill if she were to find love with someone of her station. I do wonder what will happen to Gideon now, though.
And Henri is such a cocky, overconfident a-hole. I love him!
worst episode in drag race history
