Wait, there's a Beanworld event? Go to the Beanworld event!

According to Ryan's rant in a video clip on Bravo.com, Miles' piece had a bucket full of chunks of potatoes at one point. He must have backed away from that addition.

So there's bad photography not accurately representing the artworks, editors apparently cutting out the most interesting bits and contestants actively undermining and working around the reality format. A reality show about the making of Work of Art sounds a lot more interesting than actually watching Work of Art.

Ceviche is better close to room temperature. From the descriptions, it seemed like these dishes weren't just not hot; they were actively chilled.

X-Files clones
Todd, when the season is over could you do in a post looking at the various X-Files clones—what aspects of the show they tried to emulate, what they changed, how they worked and how they didn't? Examining the X-Files through its funhouse mirror reflections could show us something we can't see when…

Standing down the space-fleets
Except he didn't really. They were just waiting for the Pandorica to open so they could stuff him inside. It should have been opening while he was speachifying so they must have realized he'd fiddled with it and went off to kill a half hour before coming back to finish the job.

Adding the show
I don't think there's enough meat here for a weekly review, but you could add an addendum to the Burn Notice review whenever there's a notable episode of White Collar, Leverage or another caper-centric show that shares the same audience.

A problem with the premise…
I think they really limited themselves when they decided that all the artifacts had to be connected to some historical figure. That would be fine if they could use all of history, but they can only reference the tiny number of historical figures the average American TV viewer (or SyFy…

How to shock
I think Jeanne's got a point that the best way the artists could have genuinely shocked the judges would be to break the rules, either of the gallery or of reality TV.

Glory finally shows up…
and the weekly discussion of how bad Clare Kramer is at playing her doesn't. Odd. Let me defend her anyway.
Even assuming that the stiltedness isn't an acting choice, it was certainly a directorial or production choice. Someone told her to play it that way or someone hired her because they saw…

The judging criteria
I noticed the judges appreciating how much they learned about the artists through the winning pieces. That's a weird Next-Food-Network-Star sort of thing to be looking for. Weren't they supposed to be commenting on society in general not themselves? Or is all art supposed to be about the artist…

Did you hit pause and read what he was writing? Mundane descriptions of the day's events and a little gee whiz enthusiasm. Nothing like the crazy I hoped for given his appearance. He would have been dud.

I'd say he let the kid run off less because of losing his train of thought and more because he was immersed in something rather more interesting. For me, it's a nice change of pace to have a Doctor who finds anything more interesting than humans.

Breasts make as much sense as "Homo reptilia". Actually, they're wrong in exactly the same way. There's probably a fanwank explanation in there.

According to Dr. Who Confidential, earlier drafts had a myrka. Including it meant delaying interaction with Silurians proper until the end of the episode so they ditched it to move the meeting forward.

I didn't like the soup twist, but the quickfire was already off the rails. Half the chefs interpreted the challenge as putting their own twist on the recipe and the other half interpreted it as just making the recipe (although one of those two couldn't actually read the recipe he was supposed to be following). We…

It was Hex of the Hydra. The theater was also playing Star Wars: Revenge of the [illegible text that had an S at the end so wasn't Sith as you might expect] and, for some reason, Splash.

Well, there you go then. Will is a planetary nebula—a dying star blowing off its outer layers—to seed the next generation's potential stars, some of which will go on to burn brightly but most of which will just be red dwarfs.

That scene was odd for this show because it was full of facts and figures, all of which sounded plausible. I don't know enough about the field to know if that was real, but I do know a bit about spinal cord research and can say that all the studies Tina showed Artie were real as was Terri's description of the general…

We're probably analyzing this more than the writers did, but perhaps she considers Sheldon a friend and prefers to have sex with disposable strangers. Might be a bit awkward if she got the position she was interviewing for, though.
