I agree about Thorgy. There's something about her that's very off-putting.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think Derrick Berry will get the Courtney Act Honorary Top Three Slot based on her past success and familiarity. Hopefully Ru and the producers let her be the 100th queen to enter the workroom so that she will have something to show for coming on the show, and they won't have to get…

I don't think it was looks alone that lead Sharon to win her season. Her Michelle impression was one of the most legitimately funny performances on Snatch Game ever, and her lip sync against Phi Phi to "It's Raining Men" was pretty epic.

I could smell the double elimination coming from halfway through that performance. I don't think Ru had any other choice. It was stunningly half-assed.

It was impressive, but I don't for one second think it was genuine and not calculated on her part.

I honestly find Thorgy to be the stealthier and more unpleasant bitch. It really turns me off that she keeps bringing up Betty's reputation in New York. I don't think that's fair. People should be able to go into situations like this with somewhat of a clean slate. The lingering feud between Alyssa and Coco was…

I don't know if it's just me, but I think the fourth season was their best.

I'm curious: is this a regular role on the series, a recurring part, or a one-shot deal?

She's one of my favorite actresses of all time, but there were rumors that she was very difficult to work with, and that Hollywood used her arrest as an excuse to not hire her anymore.

Yes, because god forbid anyone have an individual opinion of something that differs from that of the critical majority.

I'm glad to see this article. I wasn't a huge X-Files fan back in the day, mostly because during its run, the heavily serialized nature made it difficult to follow in a time where, if you missed an episode, or started too late, you were pretty much shit out of luck. But I strangely liked the second movie a lot. It had…

John Waters famously said that the AMPAS board is made of old white men like him. And since Hollywood is notorious for attracting self-involved individuals with narcissistic personalities, I wonder if this has an impact on its myopic decisions of the nominations board. It makes a lot of sense that these old white men…

I guess my interpretation of what you meant by after-school special was oversimplifying a complicated situation into teachable lessons. But in most of the after-school specials I watched in health class about teen pregnancy, the resolution was usually that the characters came to fully understand the implications and…

I'm with the school of thought that believes they're gearing up for something big. Him losing his job seems like it has a lot of story potential, because what is he going to do to make money? Or afford his medication? I'm looking forward to an off-his-meds Ian making some bad decisions, as horrible as that might sound.

I disagree with the part about Debbie's conversation with the girls have an afterschool special feel. The fact that they griped about their clothes and not being able to go out on the weekends was giving an argument against pregnancy that Debbie could relate to. It would be difficult for a young teenager to really…

Solid argument you present there.

Jeez…so if it isn't one of the 60 articles The A.V. Club already has about Making a Murderer, you'll still find a way to turn it into one, won't you?

I understand what you're saying, and I agree. But it's not groundbreaking for gay men. If anything, it's groundbreaking for straight men, and an affirmation of homophobia. And at a time where most of the treatment of gay men in media was homophobic, it provided no alternative narrative. I get Seinfeld and Larry…

Marianne Faithful's "Ballad of Lucy Jordan" was an excellent choice for Liz's death scene.

Not to mention the fact that it's so engagingly made that the running time flies by.
