Absolutely my favorite director in the world
Cannot wait to see this movie! Mysterious Skin was a masterpiece!

yes!
I remember discussing with Claire the possibility of writing up this season as I watched last season's finale "with" her on live-blog, and now its here! Thanks Claire!

The madding crowd- nine days
Love that album, can listen to every song on it. Have since it came out on a semi-regular basis.

grade…
ok so it was a different reviewer….but I thought this episode was far better then the last one which got an A-, and I thought was an unmemorable, mostly filler episode. But kudos to both of you for writing interesting reviews with differing perspectives. They should do that with more shows.

Man do I ever wish undressed was back on the air. Except I don't think you can accurately recreate that Y2K naivete.

"dick in the casket" sounds like it could potentially be some traditional British recipe. Also is this show about foreskins or something? What a terrible name.

So basically you, and others object not to Gretchen being a bad designer but appealing to wealthy older women? Who do you think has money to buy expensive clothes? So what if her client-base is older women. Teenagers cannot afford couture by-and-large, which is part of the reason Mondo lost. Gretchen had a solid…

She apparently lives in Portland; what is she supposed to say, oh but I only moved there four years ago so I don't count? She admitted multiple times to drawing inspiration from other parts of the country, specifically the Southwest, and in no way does she pretend her clothes represent a local aesthetic.

Gretchen
Designed better clothes for a recession in a recession so she won. Just like Irina back when designed luxurious clothes before the recession hit, so she won. Is this surprising to anyone? Mondo winning, as Nina strongly hinted, would basically just be having Seth Aaron 2 Electric Boogaloo take home the grand…

So there has been an entire half-season of crap and NOW you break out the F?
Ok, so I knew things were bad when I saw Lea Michele return with bangs (why??) but this Chord Overstreet person is just the worst. From the looks of it, yes he does have his hair dyed, so the jokes were hilarious. I loved the Britney episode…

whoops, still go ed! you suck regardless!

I am rooting for Ed… but not for why you'd think
At this point, like most people, I hate all the contestants left, and really, Kelly leaving just made it worse. I didn't like her, but I don't hate her as much as I do everyone else. Everyone in the final four seemed wholly disingenuous and I was actually just hoping…

What about a hybrid show?
They could call it Bon Temps

Bets:
It won't focus much on gay porn at all. Just softcore hetero porn producers.

Amen, Coldstream.

Will
either of the shoes feature an internet comedian who used to be funny but lately hast taken mostly to being an apologist for his pro-violence anti-woman comments?
If not, borinnnnng.

I don't get Todd's Hate
I think this show is intended as a lightweight comedy to offset the heavy melodrama of True Blood (which I also like, for different reasons) and it works. I think Todd just can't get behind the idea of a smart, witty, mild, comedy, that doesn't need to be all that sophisticated to work.

I liked it, a lot
I get that a lot of the emotions were hamstrung, but I think the people were genuinely emotional and only the Judges' emotions were fake and all manufactured by producers. We kind of get it at this point, Gordon really hates Americans in every possible way and makes a point of it whenever possible.…

but…
what if she dies first, before the show can film the episode?

Um… Ryan Murphy is also a pretty well known gay showrunner, and I would bet that plenty more are out there.
