I love this show and I end up wanting to try all the technical challenges. I did try Kouigh-Amann. It's not that hard, if you give yourself time to chill the dough, and it's absolutely delicious.

I liked Jeff Foxworthy. He gave the show a kind of folksiness that nicely translates from the British wackiness. The only thing I didn't enjoy about the CBS version was that they did have a designated villain (that competitive guy). If he could have just settled down and relaxed a bit, I think it would have been

I loved Manor House. I always find those shows interesting because it's so hard for the cast to actually live in the past. The American versions seem to have real difficulty with that. I remember a couple shows where participants snuck in modern luxuries, or refused to wear the period clothing.

I think I wasn't clear. I meant, it wasn't explicit that Sulu was straight — just implied by the chivalry. And because straight was the default back then.

I used to usher for one of her Off-Broadway shows, long, long ago. She was a sweet lady, and her song, "Vivaldi" was one of the highlights.

It wouldn't be complete without a gimmicky dance number in the rain, though.

TV Sulu had a wife? I didn't know that.

In one episode of TOS, Bones decided to stay on a planet and marry a woman. But, he was dying at the time.

l remember maybe a couple episodes where Sulu acted in a sort of chivalrous way towards women — less horndog than, say, Kirk or Chekov (the designated romance guys). I never thought he wasn't straight, but I suppose it wasn't explicit.

Yes. I spent a bit of time wondering whether or not they'd kill Chekov in this film (off-screen, obviously). That was after worrying that they'd already killed him off in in the beginning, when Bones mentioned finding a bottle of Scotch in Chekov's locker. Why would Bones be going through a crewmate's locker if he

Yes, I thought it was a pretty weak superweapon. A few sticks of dynamite would have been more effective.

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one. I had a similar problem with some sequences in The Avengers (except that they were much better lit). I feel like I'm falling behind in being able to process spatial relationships in recent action films — and find myself too often wondering where people are, or what the heck

Back in 1980, I was waiting at a city bus stop downtown, and this man randomly shook my hand, saying his daddy was runnin' for president. I cannot explain how bizarre that encounter was — I may have been wearing campaign buttons, because our school district was doing a mock Republican convention, but I wasn't

I guess that leaves me with option F. My impression from seeing the film was not that Huma was fine with Anthony's scandals, but that — possibly over the course of two years we don't get to see, and the therapy that's mentioned, she has come to terms with it.

You should see the movie. There's one very obvious answer to that question running around their apartment.

There are straight people who don't dislike gay characters, the concept of gay characters, or the depiction of gay romance. We go to the movies just as much as those who object to inclusion. Maybe even more.

Linking Alexander Siddig to three huge TV shows. But I second you. He'd be great.

My take on the Krystle story differed. I spent a lot of the episode torn between being a little disappointed that Krystle was so sitcommy Christian (with the Jesus figurine) and impressed that she seemed to be making an effort of tolerance to Coyote's counter-culture family. I was shocked that Frankie threw a bottle

I don't really buy them as gay, either. But I don't care, because I like the actors and I like the characters.

They were thinking budget. One actor and minimal production. That's a show that can travel and doesn't need to fill a large theater or charge major bucks to make a profit.
