A Simple Plan

Ms. Witherspoon deserves an Oscar for this, I have never before seen someone do “resisting urge to scream and run” so well.

I specifically scrolled down before reading the column to see if someone had done this. Thank you.

Damn. I saw this posted and thought NO. RIP, Dr. Hawking.

Agreed it was 100% nonsense and failed to do justice to any of those queens, even Chad. But they were still great queens that I was happy to watch in a crappy concept reality show.

But who’s left? Will Serena Chacha pit her soft sculpture against Venus Delite’s plastic surgery?

Depending on how recently she’s made a GOT reference, I prefer to think of her as the part of Theon that got sent in the box.

I’d vote worse just on the quality of the challenges and queens.

Oh yeahhh that was Alfre Woodard. More reasons to like that movie.

My feelings on Shangela exactly. The inevitability of Ben has been replaced with the inevitability of Shangela, and I’m just not a fan. The editors, though, seem to love her completely inane Game of a Thrones references, while the storylines for the other queens are Bebe is stuck up and doesn’t watch Drag Race, Trixie…

For some reason I thought Oprah was playing Mrs. Whatsit, which IIRC was a more significant role in the book than Mrs. Which. In fact I think Mrs. Which was so magic and ethereal in the book that she hardly had lines at all.

White out can’t melt steel beams!

I actually didn’t find this twist shocking at all. Telegraphed pretty hard since the start of the ep, and Dela’s ennui has been emphasized since last ep.

I agree this was an underwhelming challenge for All Stars. Why just two looks? Especially since the can thing was such a dud. They could’ve souped up the editing to focus on the copy the queens wrote, but I can assume that that process was just too uninteresting to bother.

I don’t get it, it just looks like Fergie singing the national anthem.

I like it! Certainly better than the Abramsprise.

I thought it was cute but why it gotta be a distress call? The Enterprise could’ve just been rendezvousing with them at Vulcan to deliver the new captain.

I feel like Shangela is very determinedly trying to do the reality show thing and forgets that this show is way better than that. Her plotting is boring as hell, and as much as it pains me to say it, she actually is talented and doesn’t have to bother with this bull.

I think they showed a schematic of a Constitution but none actually on screen that I remember. IIRC there’s just 12 in the fleet at this time, and maybe 0 given the war with the Klingons progressing as it has.

Considering we have Vulcan POC as well (like that annoying Vulcan admiral guy), I’d put Sarek in our straight white male category. But if I’m reading my foreshadowing right, Sarek might be ready to eat it too before the finale (and yeah I know he canon lives to TNG times).
