Security Door deserves more than an honorable mention. "I know the security door is new and strange and it challenges our outdated concepts of who we are and where we belong…"

"That one, right there… that guy's my favorite cricket."

That sounds creepily like something the real dean might do to Jeff.

Yes, Willam. They wouldn't even need to call it "All Stars". They could call it "Season 8: More Willam!" Though I don't know how you top vomiting at judging in front of Pamela Anderson, and then getting kicked off for unspecified rule violations. I have faith that Willam could find a way.

Jeffrey Moran is mad that we refer to him as "that humorless orange suit".

I guess that means next season isn't another All Star, and we'll have to wait at least another year for more April Carrion and Bendelacreme…

In the show, usually they use "she" when Ru's in drag, and "he" when Ru's not in drag. Though it's not really set in stone and people will use either in both situations.

Hadn't heard about this- what's the story?

The Babadook was weirdly one of the worst theatrical experiences I had this year. It was a one night screening and it was like the entire audience was trying SO HARD to like it and appreciate it. Just a bit too much cheering, just a bit too much forced laughter. It felt like "YES! I HEARD THIS MOVIE IS FANTASTIC

They've been on a two week bender. They're both going to show up next week with no memory, vomit in their hair, and matching tattoos.

Ooooh- Catherine O'Hara on Drag Race. Yes!

But to my mind, it's not even about the literature aspect. It's general knowledge. It's pop culture. Macbeth has made it into pop culture because movies/books/tv shows/blog posts/reality shows reference it. (For an easy example- over at the Better Call Saul boards, there are entire threads comparing Betsy

Overstating how avant garde and thoughtful her look is = Miss Fame's brand.

We're not demanding that she know the play front to back and give a 20 minute impromptu speech on what it implies about Shakespeare's views on gender. Hell, she doesn't even need to have ever read it/seen it performed. The bar is literally know it exists or lie and pretend to know it exists.

I liked the book but didn't care much for this adaptation. Making Heathcliffe unambiguously black really forces race to the forefront, at the expense of the point Bronte was making about class, IMHO.

This. It was also an emotionally manipulative show that was annoyingly incompetent at being manipulative. It seemed like every episode ended with GASP this character who seemed nice IS ACTUALLY THE MURDERER only for to immediately take it back at the beginning of the next episode. It was a show with nothing to

But then there's his eerie description of "having to" talk to her family ("I don't WANT to talk about that"), which make it sound like he was always some kind of weird lizard creature completely unfamiliar with human interaction. I was also completely puzzled by why Kathy got/stayed in that relationship. I don't buy

They're going to have an OKURRRRRR-off mini-challenge the week after…

Wait, people defend Darienne with edits!!1! ? Not buying that. It's possible that they manipulated her talking heads, but she was pretty nasty to Dela in the workroom, too.

It's still early in the season. The super bitchy queens seem like the weaker competitors- hopefully, once they're gone things will calm down a bit. I really don't want a retread of the Heathers v. Boogers drama. No one came out looking good there.
