In four seasons that fleet couldn't come together on a lunch order, but in about two days they decide to become cave people? Nah. And I guess all the diabetics died, along with anyone else with a chronic condition, as well as about 40% of the rest who perished in the first winter on a planet about which they know

I confess I wasn't wild about the series finale, because I feel it doesn't quite live up to the show's main theme: no matter how hard Walter tries, he never gets what he wants. Sure, he wins victories, kills enemies, makes money, but nothing ever fills him up, or confirms he's the good guy he so desperately wants to

Thank you Oliver Sava for these reviews! I never thought Sasha would get the crown—Ru isn't wild about artsy queens—but I am delighted to be wrong because she was always my favorite.

Darrien Lake limped through the competition, and sparing her the third time only let her get to lip-sync a fourth—in the very next episode. In my view, a queen's third time at the bottom should be her last, and Darrien ended up there four times.

Totally, and it's not the first time she missed out when she deserved to win. I think that, whenever it's a close race between Sasha and anyone else, Ru goes with anyone else. Sasha might make it to the final episode, but unless Trinity and Shea die, she's not gettng the crown. Ru just isn't into her.

We'll see if that's enough. I recall a queen named Ginger Minj who made Ru laugh and yet still lost out to that lackluster Violet Chachki.

I adore Sasha, but Ru's not crazy about artsy queens (Milk and Max, I am looking in your direction), so I feel safe saying she is NOT going to be America's next drag superstar. It's a shame, too, because I think Sasha is more creative and innovative than any of the other queens in the competition, and more willing to

I feel as though Sasha deserved the win, as both her look and her comedy was better. However, I've noticed that Ru doesn't much care for artsy queens, so I think Ms. Velour is not going to be America's next drag superstar.

Rosamund is the worst liar at Downton, which is staffed with some pretty bad liars already so that's quite an accomplishment.

Cora's smiling and yet insistent use of privilege never ceases to amaze me. A smile from her is like the rattle of a snake.

Thomas, for all his scheming, never targets the Crawleys, instead training his fire on guests or fellow servants. He can't be trusted to be nice, but he won't deliberately hamstring the family. So I think Violet's rationale for promoting Thomas is solid. Sure, Thomas is a snake, but he's Downton's snake, which for the

I don't understand "The Young Pope." There's no story that I can discern, and I'm not sure if this is supposed to take place in a realistic Earth or a more stylized universe. The characterization is thin—if I heard Lenny talk about his goddamned hippie parents one more time I was going to stick my head in the oven.

If I have this right, all of OA's mystical tale-spinning served to slightly reduce the amount of casualties of a school shooting. Seems to me that cafeteria worker did more good than all five movements put together. He was the REAL angel.

Early in the episode, Phi Phi complains that by eliminating Ginger and not Katya, Alyssa was not following the judges' guidance. Then, when she is in a position to eliminate someone, Phi Phi does a 180 and claims that, since the judges are clearly biased towards Alyssa, it is her duty to make sure Alyssa goes home.

Don't you feel as though Dana and Todd are working nearly as hard as Lisa and Nate to make their marriage seem wonderful? The main difference seems to be that Dana/Todd are fairly vapid, and lack Lisa/Nate's relative sophistication and ability to spin a more complete illusion.

I'm actually a fan of Together Brenda; unfortunately, we more often seem to see Self-Absorbed Confrontational Brenda instead. I agree, however, that she and Nate were terrible together, and they continue to be. It's as if they don't care about taking care of each other.

Boy, Kurt annoys me no end. He goes on about how much he respects older people, but whenever he feels threatened by David he zeroes in on the age difference. Only someone who's 25 can think there's some big difference between 25 and 32.

I'm a bit divided about "Looking—The Movie." On one hand, some of it feels a little expected: Agustin getting married, Dom's business a success, Patrick inundated with career opportunities…we get to leave the characters knowing they're going to be all right, and I never got that feeling from the series.

I'm really sympathetic to Richie, who after the breakup aches for Patrick while recognizing that Patrick has a LOT of growing to do—so much that a healthy relationship with him just isn't possible. Richie is the most consistently emotionally mature character on "Looking", and I hope he gets his due in the movie.

I don't normally sympathize with Patrick, but I've got to take his side on the Grindr issue. It's not bad that Kevin has a profile—as Agustin says, it's how you use it—but he was wrong to save the open relationship conversation for after his boyfriend's move-in date. Patrick bears some responsibility for this as well,
