As much as I love the Twilight Zone version of "It's a Good Life," I'd have to disagree with you, Todd—I think Bixby's short story is even more terrifying. Nothing in the episode disturbed me as much as Anthony forcing a rat to eat itself to death: "It had already devoured its tail, or at least chewed it off—for

We don't know too much about her sexual orientation, but there was that moment where she ogled Jake in the first episode of the season. I'd say she's probably straight.

You know, I appreciate that this is a show where someone probably said at one point, "Fuck it, let's just have Jane Lynch make Nicki Minaj faces into the camera for thirty seconds."

I remember Shane's "We killed. A cop-puh" being a part of pretty much every "Previously On" throughout the entire series.

Shane's righteous anger when the basketball player accuses him of being from the Valley is such a perfect Angeleno note. "I live in Hollywood, motherf—"

I don't know, I think most of the time Alaska's comedy is an intentional—and often smart—effort to play up her strengths, hide her weaknesses, and stand out from the crowd. She knows what she's skilled at and what she isn't. Her Mama Ru performance is the best example, but I think screwing up her makeup is along

Coco calling Jinkx "hot garbage" in the Untucked confessional had me yelling at my TV. Girl, before you start coming after true talent you better stop looking like you just went down on a bag of Cheetos.

The best part of Spring Breakdown is Missi Pyle screaming "I WANNA SEE SOME BAAAAAAALLS, WHAAAT" at some good-looking college guys. It's a tall order to steal a movie from Poehler, Dratch, Posey, and Lynch, but she did it.

That shot of Nina using Vasili's special tea as a mouthwash after their encounter is really effective on both a character and storytelling level. It communicates to the audience the specifics of what she's just done with Vasili and indicates that she finds the act (literally) distasteful. It's also very much part of

My vote's for RuPaul. Imagine an Oscar ceremony where nominees in each acting category would have to lipsync to determine a winner.

You see, in dealing with Jinkx Monsoon, the queens didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character.
