Agreed, it was one of the worst; like the writers were trying to appease Brit/Aussie Crowley fans while testing the fandom for a possible spinoff.

‘As an audience, we know that Madonna’s “Vogue” was far from a revolution starter and is a very stark example of cultural appropriation.’

Thank YOU! With the jump to 1990 I was waiting the entire episode for someone, especially Pray Tell, to mention other instances of urban drag artists’ currently growing mainstream…

I didn’t buy Angel’s childlike reaction to the photo shoot - an experienced 22 year old trans ‘ho boohoo crying like some fundamentally violated preteen over trading dirty pics for a full professional photo shoot? Though she’s done much worse for much less walking the late 80's NYC Pier?!? I can see her rather upset…

That’s not fair Blaffair! We can like it but criticize it as well, especially among OG fans who’ve been loyal to the brand since the beginning. It’s akin to going to a film billed as an action-adventure but turning out to be a rom-com. It may be good, but not for the reasons presented in the previews. And the…

AS 1 was raggedy, but it isn’t fair for Latrice to shun it primarily because she lost. Many criticize AS 3 for equally relevant reasons, from who was selected to the infamous finale lip-sync competitors.

Thank you for that comment, so true and well articulated! There are many long term fans whole feel the same way and are growing weary of Rupaul’s offerings in general. I gave it a fierce reading on the main RPDR FB page just prior to this season’s broadcast and though the producers seem to anticipate some of these…

I often feel Latrice’s fan base lies more in how they physically identify with her than any actual talent. She is generic in her styling and mundane entertainment performances. Both her runway and challenge looks have a sameness to them most episodes and seasons, as repeatedly noted in post episodic reviews such as…

Loved Manila’s LSFYL - very expressive and reminiscent of S3 when contestants first became notable for cutting each other off on stage. Trinity played it into well enough but she mostly looked like a canary flapping her arms around, especially in that bright yellow feathered jacket. I wondered how she would look if…

Monique’s “FakeAsFuck” comment was truly a meta moment, because it demonstrated how contrived/scripted reality TV is in general. So in a camp bow to an infamous trope of the series, it was brought up but quickly dispensed with Farrah Moan’s elimination. Thus if Gia is eliminated next any “true” backstage drama will…

*Nod* I can hardly tell M&M apart, sans the similar names! Though the producers improved from AS3, this season feels as pedestrian the regular seasons most of these queens originated. Afterwards the following, only kept around to appease their ‘representative’ crowds:

Latrice: “Don’t fat shame me” sassy (Black) girls
Nao…

If he weren’t a FedEx driver during the biggest consumer/shipping window of the year he’d likely be in jail under a enormous bond and this would only be a local news story.

Considering Prof. Galen was getting a lift from a Vulcan transport ship, why weren’t there any Vulcans around during the final space-Mexican Standoff scene, especially considering the Romulans are their descendants? It also doesn’t make any sense no other star traveling races wouldn’t find this little message…

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…
