In theory, yes, but I mostly saw Lea Michele struggling with a cigarette and attempting to suppress all Rachel Berry mannerisms, and Gemma looking bored, detached and exhausted.

Up until this episode, there was always something to defend, even if it was nothing more than a Goggins cameo. But tonight's episode just meandered aimlessly, endlessly. The Bobby-Wendy scene was both stupid and flat (and not terribly well acted—sorry, Zack); the Lea Michele interlude was pointless; the Marks plot is…

I didn't know Cersei drank red, I thought it was some Westerosi brew. And I didn't know who CRBF was until I just googled the name.

The fact that the writers insisted on him using the past participle "barebacked gay porn" (which I have never heard out loud) made it all the more absurd and hilarious.

Jules Cobb, Olivia Pope and Alicia Florrick hang out—I'm still waiting for my crossover episode.

Just wait 'til she launches her meth empire.

I sit corrected.

Yes (if late). This was a great episode, smart, funny and weird. But if this show keeps returning to the heterosexual masculinity/gay panic well without any nuance or commentary, it is going to drive me away.

I thought: "This is why she wins Emmys."

Ryan, or Matt Lauria? ::drool::

Why? (Not that I mind.)

Homonymphone pet peeve:
rein (restrain, control)
reign (rule)
rain (precipitation)

Annoying, long-necked puppy dog.

And there are two of them.

Wasn't Evan Peters exposed either with his mother or one of the witch girls? And there was maybe the Minotaur (pre-Minotaur) and the rapey frat boys perhaps?

You're overlooking a lot. Yes, the boys are neglected by their family members (except Abel's biological mother). No, they are not neglected by other adults and it has been mentioned several times by those adults that Abel is not all right. And I do see tragedy coming.

Noooooooooooo to retiring Man Ass™.

Phrasing!

Telepathy?

She's not killed, just kidnapped.
