If Kim Chi had led off with the "no fats, no fems, no Asians" line and then developed that theme a bit it would have been much stronger. As it was, her video easily outclassed the weird, painfully unfunny Thorgy/Chi Chi trainwreck. Thorgy reminds me of Chanel a bit - obviously smart and talented but visibly irritated…

The looks were great though. Acid is indeed the opposite of basic.

My favorite part was Betty talking about how difficult it was to do Nancy Grace, as though that was assigned to her by her thesis advisor or something. If you couldn't do something funny with Nancy Grace, ffs pick someone else.

I like Chi Chi, but that Madonna outfit was tragic. You couldn't even say "Go back to Party City where you belong," because Party City would be a huge step up from that look.

Nicholas D'Agosto in his underwear was the highlight of the episode for me. One of the great failures of The Office was that Hunter never took his clothes off.

I enjoyed this review, but I think it's somewhat lazy and unfair to say that "queerness was only ever used for jokes on Friends." It's easy enough to pick any show from 20 or 30 years ago and find cringe-worthy moments, but as far as I can remember Friends was the first network show that, over the entire course of the…

Here's my main problem with the episode. I get that they wanted to put Barry in a position where he felt he had to collaborate with bad guys, but why exactly was Captain Cold necessary to the plan? Cisco designed the cold gun, presumably he or Joe could have operated the weapon roughly as well as Snart. For that…

So he would be a self-hating cyborg? Heavy stuff…

I thought the cymbal-ism was a little heavy-handed.

She was the DA Of Starling City and is currently dead, although that's typically not an impediment to re-appearing in a comic books tory

Clara pulling the sledgehammer out of her bag was the apex of the "Clara as Mary Poppins" trope

Eyebrow definition is emphatically not a problem for this Doctor.

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”

I recently rewatched the pilot of Absolutely Fabulous and was struck by how perfectly it established the characters, setting and emotional vectors of the show.

I'm only disappointed because next week it looks like they are doing animal looks, and I would have loved to see Laganja serving ostrich realness.

Me too. Skinny Amanda Waller is just wrong.

The only Dexter spinoff I could possibly imagine would be some sort of prequel about Dexter as a teen, along the lines of Bates Motel. That would probably be terrible, but is at least within the realm of discussion. The Further Adventures of Dexter in the North would be a crime against humanity.

I was devoted to this show, although (1) I never actually thought it was good, per se and (2) I felt vaguely creepy watching it as a 30-year-old guy. I just loved watching it.

And of course, the original spinoff was by Shakespeare: Queen Elizabeth liked Falstaff so much in Henry IV that Shakespeare wrote a comedy, Merry Wives of Windsor, built around the character. He was the Rhoda Morganstern of Elizabethan England.
