... are you familiar with drag culture? Because for one, its banjee, not vangie, and two spoken word lip syncs aren’t bizarre, they’re a staple and very common in the drag community, and this is an epic one. 

This review is ironically deeply unempathetic which fits considering this TV series is all about losing empathy.

Are all of these reviews just going to be comparisons to how close the series is to the source material? Because I haven’t read the books and I’d like, i don’t know, 5% of the review to just talk about the show on its own merits.

hang on, so “flip the genders” if a man breaks into a woman’s house and is ranting and clearly unstable, and then that man tries to break down their door, they should... we as women should use our words?!

There are some interesting assumptions made by the reviewer here! Why assume the drag queens are trans and not cis gay men in drag, like Monet and Shangela actually are?

i love that instead of just googling breast cancer support groups or something, Jane assumes it doesn’t already exist and that she will be CREATE one. She really is a terrible journalist.

I cannot with how overpraised eureka is. That dress was basic af and it didn’t even MAKE SENSE. 1) you cannot ‘discover’ a lightbulb, 2) Thomas Edison did not actually invent the lightbulb anyway, and 3) Eureka is famously attributed to Archimedes so I don’t even understand how she connected it to Thomas Edison at all.

Was there anyone who didn’t think nora was barry and iris’ kid? i don’t even understand why the flash tries to draw out these mysteries. It was clear from half way through last season who Savitar was, and it was pretty clear within a second of meeting nora who she is

Laurel’s decision makes sense when you consider how past juries have responded to these kind of personal ‘betrayals’ and she may be scared that by ousting Wendall at that point she’ll look like a bad sport when it comes to vote. It’s happened before

It sounds like quite a few of the Queens have issues with Eureka sliding through, not just Vixen.

I’m starting to think that after Liv and Major’s little conversation we didn’t get to see last week, and Major’s complete and abrupt turn he MAY be a double agent? I don’t know, maybe I’m giving the show too much credit

Eh I’ve never liked the Supergirl/Superman refusal to kill edict. It’s so after-school special that you could just talk to everyone and they’ll stop. It just ends up that practically they always have to kind of kill the worst villains indirectly instead of having the hero take responsibility. It’s part of what I found

I... am not a fan of Michael being alive. I got really sick of the love triangle the first time round, and now it feels like the real grief and growth is going to be undone by going back to that. Also it feels cheap

Ugh i hope they don’t use this to get rid of Killer Frost. THey never seemed to know what to do with her and squandered the opportunity

Alyssa straight up MADE this episode. She choreographed them really well, gave great critiques. Compare that to ‘throw your legs in the air fucking hard’ Todrick Hall. I honestly want to go to her dance studio

Really? it’s a C because Murphy isn’t scary and the show didn’t point out Jake was in prison? Sometimes it’s like we’re watching two completely different shows.

NOOOOO this is the first out i’ve really been gutted by. come back vanessa! Get des cookies

Both of you are going way too far

Because it’s not normally about TWISTS. You can argue Ru or the producers prefer or help certain queens, but it’s usually not let’s just throw twists in for ratings!

No, it was a jury. So the eliminated queens voted for who in the top four would go to the top 2 then rupaul picked the winner. So basically very shitty survivor
