Wait, how did you tell he was the oppressed Christian?

Slasher films at least deliver on their thrills.

Just so were clear, Vickers catapulted herself halfway across the universe with her life dependent on a crew of genuine incompetents just to spite her father? I can see her not wanting him to succeed, but I can't understand why'd she'd risk her life to do so. It's almost as if characterisation in Prometheus lives in

That's never stated - let alone implied - in the script, it makes no god damn sense (why would someone desperate to find the secret of immortality entrust this very important mission to a purposefully incompetent crew?), and the very fact that Weyland decided his best chance to save his life was to stow away on a ship

Fans of Prometheus are going to love Covenant, because it'll make the former look like an underappreciated masterpiece by comparison.

I will say that S9 suffers for the lack of an actual, honest-to-god comedy queen, but it bears remembering that S7 totally squandered Katya and then gave her the boot in favour of Kennedy "Pube Beard" Davenport, so it can hardly claim her to its credit.

Admittedly, it was a special late showing (not quite midnight but closeish). But we were all young guys and we hadn't been drinking hard or anything, so it was pretty exceptional for them all to fall asleep.

Eh. He had big tits and a gravelly voice. His one memorable joke (about Batman and Robin) may have just been genuine ignorance, considering a few episodes earlier he'd confessed to having never heard of Macbeth.

It was formless, paceless treacle elevated to critical acclaim by the simple fact that it celebrated cinema. Not a single critic seemed to notice the self-indulgence of throwing roses at a film which was a paean to their preferred art form.

God, I hope so. She's a legit filler bitch now. They best not try to crowbar her into the finale just to add drama.

There is a certain element of possessiveness here, not helped by how all the trade publications quickly lapped up the "Ridley Scott's first Alien move since Alien!" narrative (so what was Prometheus, exactly?)

Alas, she's a villain in the PhiPhi O'Hara/Roxxxy Andrews mould of not being nearly put-together enough to present an actual threat.

I dunno. Peppermint and Shea are both lovely people, but if they're challenged by another queen, they will throw the fuck down (see for reference: Shea's epic chewing out of Nina for her paranoia, and Peppermint's no holds barred beatdown of Alexis Michelle for trying to steal credit).

That's certainly an opinion. I've just no idea how you've reached it.

I've legitimately loathed PhiPhi ever since I read a fawning interview with her when she did the standard "Oh, its all the editing, they made me look bad" defence about Season 4 (which could be right for all I know), yet, being asked about the then-current Season 5 and Roxxxy's villain edit, immediately claimed that

Didn't she 'retire' from drag after All Stars 2?

That was some Lil' Kenya Michaels level of incomprehension right there.

You realise Aja was being sarcastic, right?

Gurl, four queens to root for is still about five more than Season 7.

Queens have lost a victory due to a poor runway look despite excelling in the challenge (see for reference: Michelle, Alexis).
