Right? Sundance, I will give you money! I would LOVE to give you money to watch this! What is wrong with you?

At this point I have to assume that someone (or everyone?) really wanted an extended vacation in Spain.

Two things:

I've been a fan of Warren's since his brilliantly weird turn in "State of Play" (miniseries, not movie remake) and I was so excited when he was cast on TGW. Boy did that go to hell fast! Glad to see him back on my screen in a part worthy of him.

But the doctor says that with his back turned, as he's walking out the door - so I think that line is also in Will's mind.

There were a couple of seasons when challenge winners on ANTM got a walk-on role on a random CW show, right? So now we just need Tyra to do a Jane The Virgin-inspired shoot where all the models wear fake bellies. Bonus points if it's another coed season and the male models are knocked up, too.

Season 2 opens with a call-back to Liv buying self-tanner and hair dye, as Blaine hands an armful of peroxide and skin-lightening creams to the cashier.

Aha! I managed to miss that context, sorry.

Tonally it's quite different from JtV - Jane is very warm-hearted whereas UnREAL has a delightfully black and gnarled heart - but the shows are similar in the way they play with layers of narrative and tweak the tropes of a genre while still playing to them, without feeling like they're pandering. Definitely give it a…

Well, we're also on, what, year 15 of reality TV in its current incarnation? Sure, in a perfect world I would probably prefer that we wipe away 98% of the genre, but since that's unlikely I'm always here for a smart, sharp take, no matter how many have come before.

"Gosh, what a weird place to hang a poster of Edward from 'Twilight' with inexplicably blond hai— oh. Oh no."

The gradual deconstruction of Major has probably been my favorite aspect of this show. (I say "probably" because literally everything is my favorite aspect of the show.)

What is that saying? "When God closes a Derulo, he opens a Vishonda Sims"? Something like that…

Spoiler: an inside production source revealed that the stage dancers will all be wearing apple costumes and the street dancers will be dressed as oranges so your use of literally is acceptable.

She was especially helpful for the ballroom numbers, where a) it was clear that she *really* knew what she was talking about and b) she was good at helping the audience understand what technical details of the performance had been hit or missed.

Maybe I'm being a clueless pollyanna, but I am at least interested in how the format change will actually shake out. If nothing else, I think the stage vs. street conceit will allow them to eliminate two dancers per week without it feeling quite so much like a bloodbath. Also, it seems like it will push the show to…

"You are my chicken nuggets."

A+++ for "shins blown off by Nazis," I hope the writers are taking notes.

Its because he doesn't have the beanie magically, inexplicably clinging to his skull.
