So they remade Josie and the Pussycats, subtracted the wit and satire, and called it Jem and the Holograms even though it has nothing that made the cartoon fun and over the top? Jem time-traveled to save America! The Misfits rode motorcycles shaped like guitars! There was a magic AI named Synergy!

It's a fantastic episode, but maybe the one downside is that Schumer is off screen for most of it (though she wrote and directed it) so it's maybe not the best ep. to get a sense of her as a performer.

Ridiculously happy that the duel scene was one long homage to Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Bianca picking up the dollar bills from the floor and shiftily stuffing them down her shirt was the biggest laugh out loud moment for me. Love her. I was also not an Adore Delano fan when the season started, but her "I'm polish remover, bitch" attitude and performances have given her a scrappy underdog quality,

Coco Montrese survived a third lip sync, much to our detriment.

Gia reminded me of Vivienne's stank attitude when she left.

I'm still fond of Milk. It's frustrating that the queens who challenge the definition of "drag" are constantly read and told to be versatile in a way that the pageant queens in mermaid dresses aren't. Still, I agree that Milk isn't as quick-witted as Alaska or Sharon and her unwillingness to play the game will

No way should April have been in the bottom 2, especially with that fantastic runway look. Adore definitely should have taken the fall for her shitty leadership skills and being unprepared, but I guess the producers are counting on her being a big "personality" this season and letting her slide.

"Too late, Francine. Too fucking late."

Surprised you didn't pick up on Jean's outfit deliberately echoing her Phoenix look, from the green-and-gold color scheme to the necklace that looked exactly like Dave Cockrum's original Phoenix emblem.

In the deleted scenes, Magneto's the person in the strip club that Xavier imagines in a miniskirt and gogo boots.

"While a love interest storyline for Xavier went sorely underdeveloped…"

I'd be wary of any "spoilers" for a movie that won't be released for another six months.

For at least 20 years they've only told one Iceman story over and over again—"Iceman could be one of the most powerful mutants in the world if only he learned to live up to his potential! And then he makes a wisecrack and forgets everything he learned until the next time!" There are so many more interesting characters

Jean Grey's always been one of my favorite characters. Cosmic powers! Noble sacrifices! Devouring suns and killing broccoli people!

Bubblegum said "Jingo Jango!" first in "Five Short Graybles" IIRC.

Hostess Cupcake Cat!

Tara's the only gay character left on the show, so we might see her again. Especially since she didn't open fire on the prison group.

I think they tried to establish the Governor and Hershel as opposites—Good Dad vs. Bad Dad—during their argument in the RV, in a way that sealed his fate. (Hershel's a dad who kept both of his daughters alive, of course the Governor wants to cut his head off.) He also seemed to have let go of most of his hatred of

"IS HERSHEL ON THE COUNCIL?"
