I also have thoughts about Seven of Nine, but they are apparently very different from yours.

Speaking as someone who grew up carefully rewinding my Dad’s VHS tapes to the exact same spot he found them in, I want globalization to be in the image of Sweden in the late 70s.

Seriously, though, Padma is somber as hell: “You’ll be exposed to the elements. Be prepared for anything.” — meanwhile just out of frame, a production assistant is unspooling a long extension cord into one of the tents for the remaining bears’ CPAP machines...

...but he was goofing around and taunting foreign countries. Ha ha! Jokes like this were especially funny as a teenager growing up in a town with an Air Force base that had a SAC wing. When the other schools got duck and cover drills left over from the 50s, ours told us outright that we’d be vaporized in the first…

I do believe that I am getting the vapors.

Don’t get me started on Three Dog Night.

I gained a TON of respect for Fieri by watching that show — his understanding of how to put together a piece of television is solid, and everyone should be lucky enough to have someone like him work with them was a mentor at some point. All he did with the contestants was build on their strengths, even when those…

I need to give Rex Reed full credit: back in 86, I was flipping channels one Saturday evening and happened to scan past whatever syndicated review show he was co-hosting at the time, and he was laying into Lynch’s new release, which was JUST NOT the kind of movie that he likes to see. “And we’re supposed to believe…

Reading through the comment thread this leads me to a hard-R reboot of Gilligan’s Island starring Karen Gillan and I say WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?!?!

Huh. had no clue about Hung. I was going to say “in all the other cases I can think of, pictures of partners, stories of coming out, or nude pics (that’s right, Tylör Boring...) were prominent in the chef’s first episode.” But now we’ve revealed that I just don’t pick up on things like that easily unless they’re…

Is Tyler the first gay contestant where that wasn’t treated as the key to their identity? At that point in the episode last night it was all record-scratch, “what did he just say?” before thinking about it and saying, “well, sure.”

Okay, now that would be cool and I’d need to retract that bogus rating if it happened.

Tarantula was bogus when it was a challenge on Chopped recently, and it’s bogus here on LCK.

Let’s also not forget that Lee Ann worked for a bunch of seasons on Top Chef as one of the challenge producers. If having experience doing these shows is a big advantage, imagine a few years of being on the other side of the camera.

Wait, I thought that all you really needed to get into Berklee in the 80s and 90s was a check that didn’t bounce. Staying in, now that’s a different matter.

...and Rudy Vallee was there, singing through a cardboard megaphone.

It’s about time that someone spoke up to remember the true victims of this event.

I was surprised to see Matthew Glave as the ex-husband. On the one hand, casting him in that role is really too obvious (I haven’t followed his career closely, but every time I’ve seen him going back to ER is exactly this douchey guy part). On the other hand, that makes him perfect for the part, so why not cast him?

Oh, yeah? Well, double dumbass on you!

My take on why she’s having sex with Fedora: Sam Fox has two primary modes:
