True Detective gestures at more than Hannibal, but falls well short of achieving those goals, papering over that with some pretty undercooked masculinist fantasy, odd couple bickering and collegiate philosophy. Hannibal actually digs into all of the issues it tackles, while also being aurally, visually and…

Sure, but neither did True Detective, particularly. And it's nowhere near as good as Hannibal but turned into a hit.

I'm guessing they want to use Amy to launch Another Period, which I really, truly hope is as good as the cast indicates it should be.

My first boyfriend wore scrubs to the university we went to once. Like, the pants component of scrubs, with a singlet. He had a few outfits I could've donated.

Now I'm just thinking about Dino Fetscher and Tom Hardy together (and also me there, on the side, being swatted away).

Thank god for gay showrunners; Ana Gasteyer and Kathy Najimy and Jane Krakowski as guest actresses all in one season? That's some ace casting decisions.

Clearly for you it's a mutual interest though, and I think there's a difference between thoughtfully and openly discussing your experience versus someone going, "Oh that was great, how great was that for you?" because the approach of the character in the sketch leaves no room for that kind of genuine openness. That's…

It's probably as fake as he is a knockoff Vin Diesel, but a neat story.

90% of the time the people who rag on him haven't even seen it.

Parker Posey in that* movie >>>

Yeah, I guess literally nothing about Katy Perry - like, so far in the opposite direction of her it's entering another dimension - says "authentic old school ballroom street fight", so I find the combination incongruous to the point of irredeemable mania.

Okay, we need to talk about Kennedy's lipsync. She's obviously a dancer. Fine. And I know it's admirable when someone puts their all into a LSFYL performance. But do we really think that Kennedy's was a good lipsync, or just an attention-grabbing one? It's happened a few times this season, but I think LSFYL…

This headline kind of sucks. I don't think anything about this show suggests mockery of melodrama - it recognises its inherent silliness while also embracing that silliness fully and with its tongue firmly in cheek.

Katya and Violet were the obvious stand-outs; in my eyes, I wouldn't have been bothered much if Kennedy/Pearl lip-synced instead. But honestly, I knew Trixie would go home in this episode. Ru basically let her go as far as could have been reasonably expected if she hadn't been eliminated in the first place. I don't…

I suspect she saw how well Alaska has done off her online persona and whatnot and decided to apply it to her 'campaign', so to speak. Very smart.

I really hope it's not the case!

Andy Kindler did voice work on Dr. Katz and Home Movies, so that would be an odd reason since he and Bouchard go way back.

Even if Katya doesn't win, she's destined to be this season's Alaska, where she essentially surpasses the winner in drag stardom anyway. She probably already has, actually.

Vegemite is delicious, sir, and I will knifey-spooney to defend its honour.
