Pretty sure that was Alaska, the "bad" example they used when she was testing her material on Bruce Vilanch and the Irrelevants.

The "you were out of drag" thing KILLS me. I've ranted about here before, but it made me lose some serious respect for Ru. What happened to "You're born naked, and the rest is drag?" Drag is gender performance, and Alaska had that in SPADES. Why was Detox dressing like a chicken acceptable drag, but Alaska's sendup of…

Alaska's joke construction and delivery was, technically speaking, FLAWLESS. Coco just stood on stage and acted ghetto for a few minutes. "LOOK MA, RU ON DA TEE-VEE!"

I'm not even going to touch last night's plot developments with a ten-foot pole, but as someone who does legitimately enjoy 90% of the musical performances, let's talk about their iTunes strategy…

That was incredible. Eventually she just left.

I think they consciously pad some of the cast with filler. I mean, there are numerous other drag queens from the House of Haunt in Pittsburgh alone that are more talented than half of this season. I can't imagine that Pittsburgh is unique in that respect (even though with the double-whammy of Sharon and Alaska being…

I think @avclub-7928cdc9a5040872be11e87e9bef1d67:disqus is exactly right. Roxxy does glamour, but I honestly feel like I can't remember two distinct looks. Alaska has the pink paint-splatter dress with the gun, the saran wrap gown, the Little Mermaid outfit where she licked a fish… they may be similar, ish, but wow…

@avclub-d450f01b90e9cfa5848596f1e6457c17:disqus Seriously. Alaska is a very conscious, comic deconstruction of the type of pageant queens that are running amok this season. Sharon does primarily horror drag.

While Ray struggles with how to tell everyone else that Gabby Giffords survived the shooting.

Also, Todd, I disagree with Marnie's desire to sing being on the same out-of-nowhere just-for-TV-world writer's-room-what-if plot development level as Shosh's totallybestestfriendever Radika, or your perception of Hannah's OCD coming out of nowhere.

I think the reveal of Hannah's OCD concurrent with Marnie expressing her desire to sing is going to culminate in Marnie sitting Hannah down and singing Coldplay's "Fix You" to her lovingly.

People knock Lena Dunham's acting, but I LOVED her reaction to that bit of news. "Your book is about a bionic dog…?"

Yep, it's the climax of the fight. Definitely something that I remembered as really, really dark and something I've thought about from time to time this season.

Hey this is a reference I get! Yay!

Yeah personally Todd, no offense, but I'd go up and edit the review. You talk at some SERIOUS length about how you wouldn't mind this if they had just seeded this SOMEWHERE back in the first season, and you look kinda silly because they did.

I literally thought it was going to end with Eileen's husband letting out a cartoonish "MUAHAHAHAHA."

It's such a shame because I actually ADORE his voice. But I'm just in permanent cringe-mode every time he's on screen.

Just curious, have you seen Dreamgirls? She has a few numbers that are much slower and softer and she knocks them out of the park. I'm thinking of "One Night Only" in particular.

So can we talk about the fact that every time Jimmy plunks his finger on a piano key, Karen pops out of nowhere with a hyper-interested "what's that what are you working on? Those four notes are genius, you beautiful soul, share your music with me please because what you're working on is fantastically genius and…

I thought her lines about him definitely having "taken some drugs" were hilariously terrible. She seems like the kind of character who has never seen "a drug" and would probably pronounce "marijuana" with a hard "j," so her faux-casually asking him "which ones?" as if she would have any familiarity with his answer…
