There was a really great article I read a few weeks ago on Vox about Dawson’s Creek and how low-key misogynist it actually was. I’ve seen every episode (somehow) and the evidence presented is pretty compelling.

‘Trixie owes her a debt’
I do not understand this (very common) argument that since Shangela makes ‘great’ TV, she should get a free pass on being a dumb asshole. As for the challenges, she wouldn’t have won either of them if it hadn’t been a Lip-Sync for Your Legacy situation. DeLa was better than her in the Diva number (and had less of her…
Seriously. You can’t strategize for a game where everyone is playing differently. Shangela just isn’t smart enough to figure that out.
OH MY GOD THE RAJA AND MANILA THING. Walking down the runway, it’s Miss Revisionist History!
I agree this was a weaker Snatch Game but DeLa was so good it almost made up for it. I thought Shangela’s Jennifer Lewis had a lot of canned jokes, but no one else did well so I guess it made sense.
I adore the first two Screams. For me Cox is really the star of the films, the hero that Neve Campbell’s character is too dumb to be. Gale and Dewey were the only characters I actually worried for/cared about, an essential part of a horror movie that most directors forget.
I kind of hope they go prestige, or at least a CW version of prestige. They should be trying to court the cable audience, as the CW basically operates as a cable station as it is.
Ben Gibbard is a fantastic songwriter. I’m not even that big of a Death Cab fan but I have tremendous respect for him as a musician.
I was raised in a conservative Christian household and I didn’t listen to ‘secular’ music until I started ignoring my parents’ rules around age 14. I don’t know if this is due to that, but my musical tastes have evolved exponentially from when I was in the age group specified. I listened to nothing but All-American…
Annoying as fuck?
Or you can wait ten years and then buy the collection for like 25 bucks. I’m currently working my way through Re: Chain of Memories, which I played approximately 34 times through on my Game Boy Advance. It’s trippy.
The thing that bothers me is you can see the storm clouds forming over DeLa’s head. If they are indeed leading up to a ‘she eliminates herself’ conclusion to her storyline, the groundwork has been laid.
How has Peak TV not resulted in another (actual) Joss Whedon series? I mean good god, how has Netflix not scooped him up yet? They got Shonda, they got Murphy! We haven’t had a true Whedon show on the air since Dollhouse. Unacceptable.
That wouldn’t be career suicide, but it would be more like a self-maim situation. Look, I would love nothing more than for Aja to win a lip-sync and eliminate Kennedy (for instance) for being a sour bitch. But these girls have their whole lives to think about. A move like that would follow them around for a long time.
See to me Jinkx was far more calculating than DeLa is. I believe in these very reviews Oliver talked about how she always seemed to be playing the game, albeit at a very high level. DeLa, meanwhile, actually refused to do the show at first because she claimed it would do anything to tear relationships apart. It seems…
I’m sorry but that all sounds like Shangela nonsense. Not every nice person is secretly a cold monster inside. DeLa sincerely tried to help Bebe find a character that would actually work and be funny. You want to talk about definitions? Helping out one’s competition is the opposite of competitive.
Why should DeLa have to share her reasons with the penis gallery? I think a healthy mix of people makes for a fun show. If they were all Shangelas or Milks or Kennedys I would stop watching because that would be insufferable. Some people don’t feel like speaking badly on others, that doesn’t make them contrived or…
I’ve heard whispers that she quits but those same whispers said Chi Chi would be out episode 1 so *farts*
The Secret Agent Bebe Conspiracy 2K18 is looking more plausible with each passing week. Why else would she ignore DeLa’s incredible sensible advice and go with something underwhelming? I was really disappointed that she went so far into her comfort zone.
