Agree re Teti being inspirational. I've already used "crotch loaf" To describe the pending arrival of my little sister's 5th (!) child.

Amen to that! SFU is one of my all-time favorite TV dramas. (In fact, if I were forced to pick a #1, it would probably top the list.) Teti's reviews further elevate the already-great source material.

THIS.

A commenter on another site mentioned the larger problem of "butt-wiping narrative" that has developed in the Hall voiceovers in recent seasons. That seemed like a spot-on description, and the "climactic" reveal was BY FAR the worst instance of it yet.

What?! You expect us to believe that the current crop of Dexter writers would stand for that sort of narrative inconsistency? I think not.

Let's ponder for a moment how masterful a writer one must be to call a young girl a "Sucklady" and somehow manage to avoid even the barest hint of vulgarity or bad taste. Bravo, Mr. Teti.

Based on the flight attendants I've seen on US carriers lately, I think "*her* grandkids" is probably more accurate.

While there are federal criminal statutes, most criminal law in America is made at the state level. And one should never assume that Texas criminal law is similar to that of Illinois…or to that of any other U.S. jurisdiction, for that matter. :-)

Some of the anachronistic expressions make me twitch. "Wuss"? I don't think so. And Ted had another doozy that I can't remember at the moment, but which I'm pretty sure didn't enter the lexicon until the early '90's or so.

True, but if you put Laura B's final collection from Season 3 against these 4—and even against Laura K's superior decoy collection—it wins, hands-down. Laura B's pewter-and-green gown was one of the best pieces I've ever seen on this show. And her whole collection was stylish, had a point of view, and was IMPECCABLY…

I think there are two possible explanations:

As a fitting end to this trainwreck of a season, Laura's decoy collection was widely regarded as the clear winner of the Fashion Week runway show:

Personally, I thought "PanAm is about new beginnings; let her begin!" [possibly not an exact quote] was a shoo-in for Ricci's most ridiculous line.

There was an AV Club interview with Eliza Coupe a week or so ago. She talked about how the show was filmed more than a year ago, and then ABC just sat on it and planned to burn it off last spring (as evidenced by the fact that they showed 2 episodes every Wednesday for a while there). It unexpectedly gained a cult…

I interpreted it as self-aware. But it's probably funnier if it wasn't. Either way, I laughed.

I join in the tipping of the cap to Mr. Teti. While "ersatz Anna Wintour"/"braying tangerine" will probably never be supplanted on the Best Sentence podium, I'd argue this one is his Best Review. That's especially impressive considering how lackluster the episode was.

This should henceforth known as "The Whitney Rule."

…and then he hands her a jacket.

Having seen all the final collections on Tom and Lorenzo's website, I can assure you that Josh's collection was a decoy. In the immortal words of Michael Kors: "Slutty, slutty, slutty!" If Josh had had a Tim Gunn home visit, there's no way some of those choices would have survived to the finals. Clearly, he was left…

They looked like bikers. And although I'm trading in stereotypes and generalizations here, it seems those ultra-butch biker-guy types are often much more in touch with what their women like to wear and what looks good on them than the typical straight male. Or they're less embarrassed to talk about it. Maybe a "secure…
