I dunno - I really enjoyed Grant Morrison and Frank Quitley's All-Star Superman miniseries. It took all the gonzo Silver Age stuff (Superman robots, Fortress of Solitude alien petting zoo) and not only made it plausible in the narrative universe, but helped it to expand upon the Superman mythos.

You're the tearaway, beneath my tearaway.

I'll only download it if we can have weekly AV Club recaps of game progress. Where mah pixels at!? Haaaaaay!

I think what mortifies me the most about the show is the whole 'Queen for a Day' sinkhole that most makeover shows gravitate towards. Which one has the saddest sob story? Ain't nothing wrong with her that a girdle and lip liner won't fix! Obviously, well-adjusted gals don't feel the need to sign up for reality TV

I know! I'm really going to miss these weekly gab sessions. Thanks for being so fabulous, fellow commenters!

Alas, no! I'm intensely curious as to who my dopplegangbanger is, though.

*tenting fingers* Release the hounds.

One of my fave moments was during the Lipsynch competiton, with judge Juliette Lewis giving her Jiggly Caliente impression: a bleary-eyed open-mouthed stare. Bitchily apt. Also proved Juliette as a fan of the show.

I admit it - I got a little misty over Alaska and Sharon's exchange at the reunion. They're a lovely couple and I can't wait for them to take the world by storm.

My god, but that reunion ep was relentless. It was like the Iron March of Drag. That said, I do always enjoy catching up with the competitors post-game. Lineyesha looked stunning (though still prettily vacant), Serena appeared to have brushed up her look considerably, and Detox stole the show with her TCM realness.

I admit, I'm deeply disappointed that Roxxxy wasn't able to work in a tear-away pantsuit during her courtroom scene. Because really - the tear-away is pretty much the only 'exciting' thing about her repetoire.

Don't forget the importance of hair-tossing. Vital skill.

I will only be truly satisfied if RPDR strips Roxxxy of her bronzer and breastplate and boots her at the top of next week's episode. Sorry 'bout it (no i'm not).

Leave it to Roxxxy to think that lip-synching is a more impressive display of talent than ACTUAL SINGING. Saying everything that Jinkx excels at in a dismissive way doesn't make it an insult - it makes you look stupid.

Alaska really knocked it out of the park this week. She served up three wonderfully realized looks with some gorgeous makeup to match. I'd been worried about Alaska delivering the same looks every week, but she really stepped things up this episode. I think my favorite look of hers was her Sugar Momma ensemble.

All while wearing a sequinced unitard.

The makeover episodes are always one of the season's high points for me, and this episode did not disappoint; mainly because (as someone pointed out) the participants all seemed to already know the show and be down for the whole experience. What a fun bunch of drag babies! Jinkx's Fortuna was a fabulous time capsule

That's their argument? It's natural? Having a full bush is natural too, but it doesn't stop hipster dudes from bitching about it, either.

(SPOILER: Henry Maler is not really sorry)
