worst episode in drag race history
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.
I can't believe on those runway looks. Seriously, Madonna has over 30 years of career and everyone do gueisha?
Derek should not have lasted this long with drag this terrible! And so mean on top of that? Bye guuurl, good riddance!
"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!
Well, anoyone who knows the history of Scotland knows that David Rizzio (Riccio) was murdered in front of Queen Mary (Stabbed multiple times). Good thing that the show producers stick to the history facts and didn't alter it, even though it is very sad to see. But everyone knew it was coming anyways. This episode was good! everything about it was good. I liked the song played when Mary was hiding to meet with Rizio and Lord Bothwell also the one when she was escaping with Lord Darnley :)
The episode did not disappoint, as usual. I very much enjoyed it! Can't wait to see what happens next regarding Mary :)
"Every time someone steps up and says who they are the world becomes a better, more interesting place, so thank you." <3<3<3
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
(GASPS IN SPANISH) I'M SHOOK, BUT YOU KNOW, SHE LEFT BY HER OWN TERMS & CONDITIONS, SHE SLAYED THE COMPETITION THE WHOLE TIME. WHATAKWEEN
I am confused. They actually made some significant changes to the group's life, they even made Stuart successful and they introduced a cool nerdy girl, and at the end of the episode they didn't ruin it again for everybody! That's not the TBBT I'm used to. And I like it.
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
Ok, we got a Peraltiago "I love you", we got Jake worried about what it would mean for Amy if something happened to him, we got Jake being THE emotional support of the squad after a little talk with Holt, we got a Rosa + Jake (best friends) hug and we got that beautiful scene at the end Gina + Amy + Rosa not afraid of showing how much they love each other.
THIS SERIES IS A BEAUTIFUL, CHUBBY LITTLE BABY AND I`LL PROTECT IT FOREVER.
Isobel's story was included in this season as if it was just another side plot... only to leave us absolutely devastated this episode. I did not see all these feelings coming! Don't leave us, stay another episode at least... ah, everything about it was sad, but what made it even more sad for me was Rahul Kohli. Damn, that's some acting right there.
That said, I have multiple issues with this episode. We finally had a payoff with Major's infiltration mission... which ended on a terrible note. I was a bit unhappy about Chase simply shooting the girl, it doesn't really fit with the Chase who hesitated before killing Mama Leone. I have problems there, because it's too convenient (the shooting) for Major to definitely hate and work against Chase later on... but well. I like how Chase's expression immediately changed sensing something went wrong before they even knew.
Also, I feel like iZombie is struggling hard with the "cases of the week"... As fun as it is to find out what brain Liv will be on next, I feel like they're doing so well with the stories that carry over through multiple episodes, having them spend time on explaining cases seems like a waste. I keep seeing scenes in the interrogation table and tuning off or just thinking "whatever, show us what the others are up to".
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.
These kind of cliffhangers are why people go bald
Omg finally they are married but holy shit that cliff hanger!
I AM DEVASTATED. I really love kameron and cracker, but I think cracker deserved one more chance it was her first lypsinc
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.
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]
Wow, those flashback scenes added a whole new dimension to the story.
Up until now I loved Naomi so much and I can't believe how shady she was. So disappointed and so sad to see Manilla go.
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.
Snatch game was bad except for a few good performances. Silky was good, nina was nice and shuga too.
Vanjie bad and brooke was a huge flop. I expected Yvie to be better.
Brooke was saved by the runway and that lypsinc WAS EVERYTHING. BOTH QUEENS SAVED BECAUSE WAS GREAT. Vanjie deserved the bottom tho.
That's what happens when your top contestants are in the bottom although it should've been Yvie and Vanjie..
This was bullshit! I feel more attacked than Laganja.
First of all, i am not mad because Plastique was sent home, i am mad because the way she left.
Apparently it's ok if you say that Plastique was relying on "Being Asian" but if you say that Silky or Akiria are relying on "Being Black" then you're racist... How can you tell an immigrant from Vietnam not to speak with vietnamese accent? I mean, this has no sense at all and besides that for me Vanjie was clearly the loser, she was whiping her hair like crazy and Plastique gives only five seconds of screentime.
Then they criticized that she wasn't wearing a fully mask when Silky doesn't even wear make up and on purpose, that was very off.
I may be dropping this season and a hope Brooke Lyn, Yvie or Nina win.
In 11 seasons, that has to be the worst Reading Challenge ever. Trinity_where_are_the_jokes.gif
I still don't get the big whoop over Silky. In a way, she's like Vanjie, in the sense that both queens have such a strong personality that every challenge they do is basically just them on full volume. The difference of course (for me at least) is that Vanjie is actually charming and likeable, while Silky is obnoxiously deluded about her brilliance. She's not untalented, but considering Plastique gets shit for doing the same Asian character in acting challenges, no one ever points out that Silky is basically just doing Silky in every acting challenge, too.
I think the ranking of all the queens this week was spot on, especially the winner and loser. I kind of felt bad for Nina who seemed to let her contribution take second place to let Brooke shine, although she was still great. Akiria was the surprise this week and a worthy winner - possible dark house for the Top 3. Some fab looks on the runway this week, too. Terrific set of guest judges, I only wish we'd had a bit more time with Natasha Lyonne.
Another episode, another pass for Vanjie. Yeah, she did better in the lipsync against Plastique who couldn't really feel the rhythm and the mood of the song, despite performing well, just to a different tune. But it's like the election day in Putin's Russia - all the people he competes against had been pre-approved by him, looking weak in comparison. Judging fairly from the start, Vanjie should have been in the bottom at least 3 times now, and there's no chance she would survive to lipsync against Plastique.
