Interestingly enough, Michael C's narrative is less interesting without people for us to root against (so we can root for him indirectly). No Ivy and no Gretchen means that Michael C is just going to annoy us rather than endear us if he outlasts too many of the better designers.

Yeah, Myles, the contexts for both flying jib and dyslexia were painfully clear. Meredith knows it's dyslexia because of her kids and their problems. Erin knows it's a flying jib because she learned it from Andy (whose love of sailing was a big plot point in the episode where Andy finagled a "new" computer from Pam).

They made a big deal of the naming thing on Top Chef Desserts this past season, too.

You usually use champagne to spray the room in celebration. Using the 3 liter bottle of red wine Bev won would have looked batshit crazy (but still would have been awesome).

Yeah, the "Tabatha Takes Over" review was pretty fist-in-monitor-inducing. Not only did the reviewer misspell the name of the show, she  continually misspelled the (first and occasionally last) name of the star of the show. That's the kind of shit I expect from TWoP, not the AVClub.

Oh. I stand corrected. (you should really use a more sarcastic font to avoid issues like these in the future)

Ugh. Margaret, can't you even be bothered to get quotes right? Ruxin clearly slurred ""Classic Forte burn." Worst. Reviewer. Ever.

"The contest winners [of the Glee Project] have since behaved exactly like teenagers randomly given guest spots on their favorite show."

Teti, please tell me you're going to be covering Project Runway: All-Stars. My life would be so much sadder without your recaps.
Can you really say no to the recap potential of Austin Scarlett and Kenley? She threw a cat at her boyfriend for chrissakes.

Bradbury's output back in the day is some of my favorite short story writing. "Rocket Man," "The Small Assassin," "The Veldt," "There Will Come Soft Rains," "All Summer in a Day," "A Sound of Thunder," "Kaleidoscope" . . . 



And yeah, I think you're right, just that one episode. Curious.

Very interesting. "The Big Tall Wish" sounds like the Ray Bradbury story "The Miracles of Jamie." The situations are completely different (and the wishes/miracles are, too), but the basic idea and plot are the same.

I stand corrected. Though I wasn't recommending skipping the Stray Observations. On the contrary, I was encouraging you to set them aside for later, much like one does with Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Because when I want to enjoy superheroes, I always worry whether the physics actually work. Maybe he's half as dense when he splits? Maybe the extra mass is being stored in a space-time pocket that follows him around? Maybe you should write Marvel a letter about Multiple Man?

Still, it's better than having the power to make people want to rape you. 
But that's what I like about the show: the powers aren't always glamorous or even useful (e.g. alopecia girl, lactokinesis kid, some of the new powers this season. . .).

Suuuuuure.

There's another episode next week (according to Wikipedia). I, too, thought Margaret made it sound like this was the last episode.

Sorry. I should have said it in Spanish:

Pitbull is horrible.

You mean on the Food Network Challenge episodes? You mean the one where she made that stupid angular "cave" cake where you were supposed to stick your hand into? Or the rice krispie one where she made that lame San Francisco skyline?

I think she's keeping any talk of the Last Chance Kitchen it in the "Stray Observations" at the bottom.
