The audience is actually really into the Godspell number—clapping along, even—until the song ends and a cross-shaped gobo is projected onto the back of the stage. The Jewish campers and staff are booing Christianity, not the musical number itself.

So…this is our recapper for this season, huh? Someone who holds both cooking and "Top Chef" in contempt? Great. I am really looking forward to her overly punctuated asides and incorrect identification of guest judges. Oh, and BIG kudos to the editors for publishing this in its current form. Well done. I am sure your…

My candidate for best line: "OBVIOUSLY the basement is soundproof!" It's the "She had NO interest in our bakery" of this episode.

Dawn mentioned that because Peggy wanted to know if there had been trouble in her neighborhood, not as a reason for cabs not picking her up.  There hadn't been, but Bed-Stuy is much closer to Harlem than Chicago. 

You are, as I like to say, correct.

Book 3 is my favorite also.  My biggest criticism on ADWD *spoilers* was its criminal lack of Jaime and Brienne of Tarth.  If GRRM kicks it before the series is complete, I will be so very sad.

*Spoilspoilspoil*  I don't know, I could see her death coming since I knew Alter was coming after Yorick and it seemed unlikely that he'd bite it himself.  Still sucked, though.

*Spoilers, duh* I had a lot of problems with the story and the way things resolved, but I cried for like an hour after Ampersand died.  And then again when Yorick talks about how they could never get his clone right.  And now, at work, while I'm typing this.

VanDerWorst, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful Christmas special and turn it into a problem.

More like Todd VanDerWORST, amirite?

Since you've both actually seen the movie, what's your interpretation?  I'm having a tough time finding any discussion on the ending on the interwebs.

Yigit was delightful AND gay.  And at least Zac was a chef, versus also stereotypical Fetus Face Craig.

Gail is so beautiful, I just wish she would get a stylist who knows how to dress her so she doesn't look like a waistless frumpmaster.

Store-bought puff pastry never flies on real Top Chef.  Tom and Padma don't play.

I am totally with you on that.  I didn't find the plot convoluted at all.  It's basically a Tennessee Williams play with less flowery dialogue and more of people's actual "ghosts" hanging out.
