Anyone else bothered by this?

Dear Oliver Sava,
The name of Cyrus's ex is Jasmine, not Jessica, but it's not like she got much screen time so that's cool.

You know, a conceptual piece about vending machines rejecting a crumpled bill would be awesome, and a far better statement about the relationship of a consumer society and late capitalism, than some goopy topical equivalent to easy-listening.

Yeah, the show's been hyping the injury thing for a few seasons now, especially during the Vegas segments, as a perverse badge of honor, partly to further its "Dancers are athletes too!" project, and partly as a consequence of the show's heritage as a reality tv program in which sensationalism is played up as a…

For real, here you go: http://tybe.tumblr.com/post…

Yeah, because GRRM does telegraph that something is about to go down with the way he paces the chapters so much more quickly. Which I assume means that if we get TWOW and ADOS of spring sooner than later, to expect some H.A.M. stuff to go down.

You know, nothing changes your mind about a show nerfing the books it's based on (i.e. by not having Arya murder anyone) like seeing a guy stab a pregnant woman in her stomach a dozen times.

He's actually made it as far as the "Green Mile" portion in seasons past (i.e. the final cut-down after the Vegas callbacks). Nonetheless, I really wish he'd stop trying out, solely to preserve his own mental health. He and SYTYCD/Nigel are not a good fit.

Too true, and certainly, synonyms are the essence of lively prose. Still, they have to be synonyms if you want to use them interchangeably, and krump != b-boying != popping != etc. To use your example, you could not say, "Gee, that krumper sure b-boyed in a poptacular fashion" without stripping away a LOT of meaning…

Can I point out the misuse of hip-hop nomenclature that seems to be a regrettable part of the casual discourse surrounding this show? B-boys/b-girls, krumpers, poppers, lockers are not synonymous, and throwing these terms around indiscriminately is like calling Will Smith a conscious rapper, a political rapper, and a…

I'm probably alone here, but the way Matt Chewkry plays Cary is hella weird, like only half-slimeball law-talking guy with the obsequious smarm so obviously on the surface but still inexplicably, fundamentally likable. I mean, he's dunking on his pops' head, but all he has to do is flash that grin and MELTSVILLE,…

Our Girl Kalinda also isn't the type to lay her cards out on the table. And isn't it a whooooole lot sexier for her to smile mysteriously at Robyn than to say something that couldn't possibly live up uhhhhh what was I saying I got caught up in the image.

Knew something fishy was up with Lester when he was Bonoing it up with the sunglasses indoors.

I definitely share the wistfulness of seeing Nathan Lane's character pretty much written out of the show, all the more surprising since, you know, who'da thought that Nathan Lane of all people playing the straight man would become so endearing?

IMDB lists two more episodes after this one.

The thought has literally never entered my mind till you've brought it up just now! Reason being is that the kind of artistic maturity that DR has is of such a different order of magnitude than the show employs, and I think his talents are best used in choreography that isn't the literal (and oftentimes, imo, banal)…

That's the thing, though — people are so het up about some hip-hop guy marauding in their classical space that they otherwise ignore equally bad or even worse performances from others (in this case, Chehon, whose hip hop ranks along with Matthew/Audrey's salsa and Dareian/Janelle's cha cha this season as the most…
