So we're stuck with him because some watery bint handed him a sword?

I'm all for letting loose, suspending disbelief, believing in Tinkerbell (although maybe not that she's Austrailian), and all that good stuff… I just thought the sing-off was embarassingly cheese-ball in a way that the rest of the episode wasn't.

Seriously. I have never been ashamed to watch this show (even though there are times I probably should have), but then… the song battle. I may or may not have shouted, "That's their whole plan? To SING at the Evil Queen?!?!?!" at my TV. That may have been the most cringe-worthy scene I've ever seen, and I say that as…

I agree that the Narrator had some great lines tonight, but is anyone else starting to feel like they're overusing that, "I know! Straight out of a telenovela, right?" clip? I started being irritated by it when they were using it once an episode. In this episode, I think I caught it twice before the first act break.

Yep. The Washington Post dug up his history of posting fake news stories and racists memes on Facebook. Total fucking crackpot… who somehow became Secretary of his county's Republican committee.

To be honest, it's really more schadenfreude than joy… but I'm cultivating a belief that Russia will be his Watergate, and Flynn is the tape on apartment complex door. Also, just read that a GOP official who got up at a town hall I attended last week to talk about "death panels" (bullshit we promptly shouted down)…

That was a joy to take. God, how desperate is this motherfucker?

Yeah, I get your point about The Archies, but for me, it isn't even so much that the songs are weak (although they mostly are). It's more that the whole "Will Archie get to pursue his music?!?" thread feels labored and shoe-horned in… not to mention seriously low-stakes considering everything going on around him. I…

Maybe. But that doesn't make it interesting. It's a seriously weak link in the show's storytelling (and pretty much the only one so far).

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I am so aggressively bored by anything having to do with Archie's desire to write music. The Pussycats are great and all, but with a murder, and B&V taking on misogynist scum, and literally everything else on this show, I really don't understand why I'm supposed to care…

Shouldn't that be Alliterative Avenue?

I'm kind of thinking that happened multiple times.

I thought so, too! Like maybe she's had lip filler since her season? It didn't distract me when she was in drag, but watching boy-Adore, I kept trying to place what was off about her… and I kept coming back to the lips.

I'd argue that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is an example of a pinnacle title. Nothing quite like it on TV ever before, and nearly uniformly brilliant. Of course, it doesn't have the impact (yet. *Crosses fingers*).

Coco Montresse? Why, God, why? She is the absoute WORST.

THIS. The way people speak about pop culture online (and sports, the people who report about them, ARE pop culture) definitely deserve a place in the larger conversation about pop culture.

I got the same vibe and felt the same annoyance, mercury33. "He didn't kiss her, so now she's gonna be a bitch!" According to The Vulture's interview with Marcia Clark, she and Darden did fight bitterly over the glove demonstration, but the show setting it up like that right after the not-kiss was misleading at best,…

That doesn't make it right.

1. It's totally unprofessional for a judge to comment on an attorney's appearance, unless it has some bearing on the trial proceedings (such as being inappropriately dressed); 2. Would he have made that comment to man? Most likely not. 3. The contempt in his tone (at least as portrayed on the show) was obvious and…
