I remember in a previous season there was a challenge where they had to make “American style doughnuts”. Beignets are basically just another variant of doughnots/zeppolis etc. The contestants weren’t experienced in making doughnuts but they had an idea what they were and didn’t act like it was some bizarre request

What a weird and sour review. I have no idea why Perkins is so fixated on the (admittedly annoying) Brent character. I certainly wouldn’t assume, as Perkins does, that Brent will be a major character for the entire season and that he’ll always be the way he is in this episode. The show does so many resets and crazy

I was really excited about this and so I watched the David Tennant UK episode and I was pretty disappointed. I really think saying this is a format that has potential like Law & Order is severely overstating it. Keeping everything in and around the interrogation room and not showing any of the investigation or the

Okay. Sorry, but Blanca sure had a miraculous and timely recovery didn’t she!

The creation of this new category as something that would somehow speak to the very legitimate concerns that women were raising to the all male council was completely stupid and insulting. Elektra made the most of it with what she said when she emceed but almost anything else, such as actually getting women on the

That’s literally impossible

I’m well aware that it’s based on something that actually happened and if someone wasn’t they’d certainly be informed by about 100 people on this board immediately, I still think Pose handles it very poorly. It seems to vacillate between it being totally forgotten to this thing Elektra thinks about all the time to it

I’m definitely a wuss about BDSM stuff yes. It just really freaks me out for some reason. I know the real life reference that the Elektra story line is taken from but I just found it so bizarre that there’s all this reference to the smell, Elektra’s guilt over the whole situation etc. but then it’s like just let’s take

Baseball is the worst sport

I’m a bit of a wuss about certain things and maybe a prude too but I found the whole situation with Bianca’s client/sub to be so disturbing I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the happy parts of the (basically good) episode. I mean, I know there are a lot of different fetishes out there within the broader BDSM thing but to

Yeah I think she’s good or at least not bad. I don’t know why people hate her

This is what needs to be done. Nothing less. If you centrists don’t wanna help you can follow or get out of the way

I still can’t believe anyone watched that Baskets show. The trailers are perfectly engineered to make never want to see a second of it

I just caught up with this ep and I’m really glad to see this comment. I had a lot of problems and the official recap saying everything was handled with such deftness and nuance is ridiculous. There were some good aspects to the episode and I think the potentially problematic Pray Tell/Ricky storyline was handled with

“Talented Mr. Ripley” was a brilliant film with several all-time great performances. 

The Hurricane wasn’t that good

The thing is in reality though you’re not supposed to say it cocaine is a drug that it’s very possible to maintain a high functioning lifestyle and not really ruin your life for a fairly long time. I mean Dennis Quaid revealed after the fact that he was a cokehead for like 20 years during the peak of his career.

Even by “Pose” standards the way the Angel and Papi become cokeheads storyline was handled was laughable after school special level stuff. It’s very hard to figure out timelines etc. on “Pose” but the episode made it sound like they did coke at a party for the first time on their lives and by a few days later they

No it wasn’t

Oh you were talking about the house. Yeah I see what you’re saying but in 1999 those architectural and real estate trends hadn’t really happened, especially in Miami where the story is set. Outside of the big, rich cities houses like that were considered worthless and not “cool”
