David Duchovny has really hit his stride again between The Americans and now the Twin Peaks reboot. Cheers to him!

For the record (not that you necessarily care) I still feel Season 3 was the best. There was just something REAL about it: the contestants, the contests, categories, eliminations and winner (love/adore you Raja). Drag itself is artificial, but that's its point - a form of genderfuck in the extreme which is part of…

Sexy coal miner, huh - great idea! Text Eureka and give her a head's up (tucked in, snap!) the next time she goes to represent your region. <wink>

*whistles* Damn, did I just step outside the library on a sunny day?! Because the shade you guys are throwing is real!

Not in his defense of his offense, but I did notice how quick they were to pluck "You've got She-Mail" for video messages from Ru after the first 3 seasons when the cis community objected to the term, though kept "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent". Yet as I said before, it is actually giving a traditionally…

I not surprised some women have a problem with drag, yet Rupaul's biggest fan base outside the gay male community are straight women.He clearly, increasingly (and somewhat annoyingly), plays to that base in the type of contestants he chooses each season. His style of drag is a tongue-in-cheek satire on the beauty…

Aside: Has Michelle Visage's cackling laugh, especially in this episode, become insufferable? Like canned laughter from an old comedy, yet you grit your teeth? If anyone should shut the f*ck up, it should start with her; I'd love an episode where she ISN'T a judge. Plus I wholeheartedly agree with Oliva Sava: Ross is…

I liked Sasha Velour's self look the best, which some of the judges were trying to defend it as well. I felt the Warholesc silkscreen self-portrait was genius, a wonderful representation of her drag style that wasn't distracting to her live presence and a lovely nod to gay culture in general.

Yet their looks were respectful of the region, even while *playfully* poking fun of its cultural icons (e.g. sombrero hat, Las Vegas showgirl). Eureka's look said this is something to expect/see when you come to my neck of the woods. I smh/cringed and I'm not even from there. I mean, the look has to be something…

Three additional weeks late: she came off selfish by springing her HIV status to him but expecting him to be apologetic concerning his self-centered attitude concerning sex (awkwardly written scene). To be fair, this scene explored the issue of cis males attracted to trans women relationships hoping that ideally their…

Kanye West, for the $$$, performing "Funkle Tom Make$ No Cent$".

Maura's Family Back Story = Season 3. Thus many episodes went in depth on each of *their* backstories, including his childhood and certain grandchildren. After all, Maura is a 70 year old trans female only recently gaining the strength and courage to make the transition; here are the reasons and repercussions of her…

It felt a bit disjointed for me as well, though it brought the core Pfeffermans together in an isolated environment to face each others differences without any (quasi)partnerships directly interfering (as in 'To Sardines and Back). Yet even then Josh managed to run away from his (living) familial demons, though he…

As noted earlier, this was one giant NCL product placement, so I'm sure that was to let potential new customers know what is permissible/tolerated/expected/encouraged on their ships. ;-)

Perhaps she decided to reinterpret it considering her recent breakup,
with the help of her valet, who obviously has dealt with plenty of these
awkward (and well-off) customers in the past. Also, it seemed those cheering the loudest were the ship's crew…

True, she could have also put it on Google Docs, Amazon (wink) or Dropbox and shared it with her room valet through her smartphone. They could have practiced the timing right from her room before the show.

Wow, this was the most moving episode of this season for me; I had to stop several times just to catch my breath - and to say "perfect" (in its story-line and presentation). *whistles* Thank you.

The reboot of the Mad Hatter was rather unexpected, but passable. The actor's costuming and styling faintly echoed that of the recently deceased musician Prince, kinda creepy. Yet even so, while commanding my attention with his appearance, his performance fell flat.

As a Gotham City backstory series, this season is doing quite well in fleshing out the future Batman's rogues gallery, nemesis, associates and peers with little conflict with the past comic/film sources. It also gives a balanced point-of-view to these characters so they're no longer portrayed as mere plot devices in…

Aside: Why were/are Season 3 contestants avoided like the plague, though many (a la Shangela) are among the most famous? Indeed, Raja is often considered the most respected, well developed of RuPaul's winners and Season 3 the top classic for others to be compared. Is there some contractual issue? Some internal…
