It also doesn't help that women on the show are more often physically exposed than their male counterparts (in the same scenes); it's especially infuriating because those scenes rarely further the storylines and clearly only exist for the viewers. With those issues in the background it's not surprising that more…

small typo; this is episode 8, not episode 9

i always take fanatical worship of any book/movie/franchise with a grain of salt. people tend to be blind to the glaring flaws of the thing that they love. at the end of the day though, i'm on the side of whatever helps you deal with the drudgery of life.

i should have waited to post my comment until after i saw the second episode. i thought the first one sufficiently served up the crazy until i saw the second episode. if anyone wants proof that magic producer elves exist pulling strings behind the scenes, this episode is exhibits a-z. Greyson should be the most…

there's also a messy chef who i'll just call el cochino since he calls himself the pig. i love the shade the cameraman threw his way by zooming in on his blender as he was making tomato water (yes, he forgot to peel off the sticker from the tomato before he sliced then blended it)

so long, old friend. mchale still having the soup was one of my big reliefs when community was officially cancelled

I heard from a source (not sure if it's true) that Noah had an abusive step father growing up so he thought that he might be able to connect with brown on dealing with your issues after suffering childhood abuse. still don't think he could have done it in a half hour show though.

my big fear about danny and mindy breaking up is that danny would regress to season 1 danny. He was so reticent about marriage and parenthood for so long that this break up might feel like a vindication of his longtime fears. I would hope that the both of them would be able to go forward and have fulfilling lives even…

just watched the episode (side note: i'll def stop spoiling all the jokes by reading the av club comments first). It had all the issues that everyone here mentioned, and yet, it was still really good. Every episode prior to this one really feels like it was just the set up (and not very good set up) to this.

As others have probably said by now, TWD is a clusterf*ck, for sure. The blame falls on several things, including: Scott Gimple, these mid season breaks, AMC's stinginess etc. I understand, really I do, that the show shouldn't be picked apart too heavily because the premise is silly to begin with. It's just really…

now the wait till feb begins

the writers eased up betty's character over time to show that she was changing/growing along with her friends, family, co-workers etc. I still think her character was the most insulated from real criticism. She rarely ever did bad things just for the sake of doing bad things. She was usually trying to help someone out…

I get what you mean too. That was one of my huge issues with Betty from ugly Betty. The show rarely called her out on her judgmental nature and her (incredibly) unflattering attire because 1) she was the classic archetype: noble daughter of immigrants trying to overcome her modest upbringing and 2) she was surrounded…

I understand Mayim is conservative in real life. Having said that, her "scandalous" outfit was the antithesis of a celebration; it put me in mind of a funeral dirge. There is nothing wrong with color and nice fabrics. It goes a long way.

I immediately recognized her from ANTM when she was at the doorway. For all of ANTM's faults, it really was a launching pad for many of the contestants if they played their cards right. I remember her doing well in acting challenges on the show, but I didn't think she would have such a successful acting career…

never been here so early before : )

I finished watching the video just to see his face, and I pretty much hate watching videos at this point.

For me it's all about her vocals in this one. Adele's lyrics have never been overly ambitious but they still somehow felt powerful and resonant. The lyrics to this new song feel pedestrian by comparison; the only thing that elevates them are adele's vocals. I got a sam smith vibe from her chorus as well.

chantelle, the one with vitiligo is also doing really well, eva pigford did well (married well). adrienne cycle 1 is still kinda sorta famous. allison, big eyes, does well modelling in asia, bre is in some hair commercials i've seen. azmarie is dating raven symone (win?). those are ones i can think of off the top of…

She was also on rupaul's drag race all star season
