Oh, his howl at the end of the final scene - which I played this brief scene over several times- had me howling with laughter - my heart was racing at both the tension and hilarity! “Jesus...you got something here.” is right!

Not to go all The Physics of Star Trek on you but there were some serious inconsistencies. Like, if they could pass through walls, why could they walk on the floors, ride through turbo lifts or shuttlecraft? Sure, you could argue the craft’s graviton fields anchor even local out-of-phase objects, etc. but with that wea…
Tasha wouldn’t have blinked an eye with the newest Odan host, probably be pleased. But hey, this was early 90's broadcast TV, they couldn’t take that plunge. :-P
Noticed the rainbow color spectrum of various streaming stars just before the Enterprise came out high speed warp to rendezvous with the Trill in The Host? I just somehow KNEW Odan’s latest host would be a female! Ha ha, hats off to the spec effect team for the subtle heads up, LOL.
Oh I agree with you on it representing those who desire going through the final process, I just resented that the only one depicted doing it so far in this series had to be presented in such a selfish, nonsensical manner. It could have seen her making the change more honorably while still being stripped of her…
I notice you’ve been much harsher with TNG grading than TOS. Even when pointing out poor writing or laughable acting, you rarely graded TOS episodes below a B (an A- often enough), whereas I never saw TNG S1 graded above a B- (mostly C or less in contrast) though the writing, logic, acting and special effects hold up…
Conspiracy - Why don’t TNG phasers set on kill just vaporize the target like TOS ones? I know it made it convenient to view the fleeing invading species while sparing the infected bodies, but the final kill seemed unnecessarily gory. The homing beacon Data spoke of was met with a shrug, which was creepy in itself.
Cap-Fig are obviously being shaped as the replacements to Piper’s white middle-class lens into prison life, with Alex-Piper a secondary tie to justify it’s not a complete spin-off series.
The Elektra subplot twist felt kinda like a corny soap opera. She’s obviously molded, down to her looks and voice, to mimic Pepper Labeija from the documentary Paris Is Burning, who disdained the idea of transsexual surgery for those hoping it would raise their stature in society (“Women - they get robbed, they…
Essentially the show was David Lynch’s long, drawn out metaphor of America’s past 3 generations (baby-boomers, gen X and millennials) struggle over/with each other, pop culture and what’s relevant in their lives, plus their upcoming offspring which still lacks an agreed upon designated ‘name’. It was no mistake most…
Still, the return of Sasha Velour at the crowning was a poignant reminder of a much better, genuinely-tense finale.
Hope S11 has the courage to ‘goes back’ to its drag ball roots with the help of Pose and My House gaining popularity. Aquaria’s final LSFYL used clever props, not reveals, during her performance; whereas Eureka’s was dominated by obnoxious ones (“The Big Girl - WINS”). That Eureka even got this far is frustrating -…
LOL, I wish! (Can’t drink, medical condition). :-P
Potato cones?
Just came to me - Dorian Corey, Paris is Burning. Ru structures his show and mentions the documentary often during each season. Modern day Martindale and Dowd look and sound an awful like Miss Corey did +30 years ago, both in and out of character! It’s rather creepy once you think about it...
OK, just as everybody and their momma says Matthew Rhys is David Duchovny’s baby brother, whenever Claudia (Margo Martindale) utters a word I think of The Handmaid’s Tale Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), along with them both being judges on Rupaul’s Drag Race. That’s not in jest or being asinine.
Interesting, the past few episodes I couldn’t help notice the growing similarities/demeanor of Breaking Bad’s DEA agent Hank Schrader and The Americans FBI agent Stan Beeman. To me it’s the most clumsy character development in the series; as if they want even a casual viewer (can one exist?) to make the artistic…
Once June thought she lost her pregnancy privilege she chose a passive suicide. When she realized it was intact, it woke her up that she could once again exploit that innate, though temporary, part of herself (Moonstruck - ‘snap out of it!’). But unlike before, she no longer harbored the smug arrogance her…
“But to blandly label a “flavor” of feminism and slap it on an individual is kind of tone deaf” - Are you referring to June or @thelovesupremequeen? Because much was made in the prior episode of June’s moral/ethical resistance to her mother’s strong white feminist philosophies, including the times she turned away…
I appreciate Ru grooming this episode’s generation for post-RPDR fame or notoriety but tries too hard forcing them into templates of her own success, e.g. live singing, acting, comedy or voice studio recordings. Ru’s talents cut such a wide swathe it’s hard for her ego not to overshadow the expectations she demands…
