Allow me to represent the fibromyalgia community (of racist assholes, I guess?) by gently placing my head into my hands and sighing. I'm so glad this show is back but this episode was kind of a bummer. I like smart, ass-kicking Liv, not getting-played Liv. Also not fond of Major as a bad guy. A dumbass maybe, but not, like, evil. Ravi and Clive are still SO freaking great. I really could not give two shits about Liv's mother and brother. And wow, the actor who played the hipster perp sold me 100% on how heartbroken he was to have lost his dog, gotten her back, and then been forced to leave her again (for prison). Am I nuts or could Blaine not just find a zombie, get bitten/scratched again, and be back in business selling Utopium AND brains? Can a person get re-infected after taking the cure? (I've got my eye on you, New Hope.)

Love Drunk History, loved this ep, and Derek was TOTALLY into her. I didn't even know that was Greg Kinnear until the credits rolled. And now I'm wondering if Tess Lynch and I are the only two people who watched Alone. Seriously, that show was so great.

Well, this episode of C.H.U.D.: Sleepy Hollow made very little sense, but I'm glad someone at least Googled the Elder Futhark correctly. While there are certainly more elegant ways to combine them, those runes on Irving's palm more or less indicate self-protection or self-defense. And I was super happy that Crane and Abby were together again with no Katrina third-wheeling and bumming everyone out. (We aaaaaallllmost made it through an entire episode without her, too. So close.)

TWENTY minutes of Katrina mimsy-whispering her family history at us, my God. She is THE WORST. And this whole "am I evil" thing seems like a desperate ploy by the show runners to make her interesting and/or relevant. I heart John Noble but I am not at all happy that Henry is still a thing and that Irving appears to be in his thrall (but I will LOVE it if, as speculated above, Irving is doing some double-agent kind of action there). Also, we need WAY more Jenny up in here. WAY less Katrina. If they insist on a third leg to the Ichababbie evil-fighting tripod: JENNY. Not Katrina. Please, for the love of God.

Wow. I was excited for this series but I turned it off halfway through the pilot. Does the world really need ANOTHER abrasive, racist/misogynist/homophobic main character whose self-destructive habits are sending him to an early grave? I vote no. Something about the dialog was off for me, too. Way too artificially snappy/clever and so rapid-fired that even with my captioning on, my audio processing had to struggle to keep up. Maybe this show's just too smart and edgy for me. Or ... maybe it's just not that great. Don't know; don't care.

Mrs. Roper would have rocked the hell out of that schmatta, and that's the only good thing I can say about it. I will never understand why the judges love Amanda so much. I can't think of anyone I know who would ever wear her stuff. Kini has been my favorite, clothes-wise, from the first challenge and I am super happy that he got through. Unfortunately being my favorite means he won't win, but I'm looking forward to seeing his collection. That jacket in his street look was everything. I like Sean and I like his clothes, and I imagine it will come down to him or Amanda winning, so I guess I'm rooting for you, Sean! Well, really I'm rooting for Kini, but see above. Kiss of death. Sorry, Kini. I'm shocked that Char made it through and Emily didn't. They both seem like awesome people, but I loved Emily's clothes this season and I can't remember a single thing Char made apart from the stuff she did in this challenge. Not one damn thing. As far as Korina is concerned, she's just really young, immature and unprofessional. I couldn't really expect her to act any other way given all that, but it's unfortunate that she doesn't have the foresight to see how she's coming across on-camera. I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with her until she grows up a little. That whole thing where she felt too raw to come back so quickly after being aufed wouldn't have happened if she'd been assigned to anyone but Char. Or if she was really feeling that negative about it in general, that conversation should have happened off-camera and they should have pulled her aufed look from the room and put in Anthony's, since he was obviously nearby and able to fill in at the last minute. But oh, that's right, this show is 90% about the drama and 9% about Nina's attitude and 1% about "fashion". I keep forgetting.

This was the point at which I shouted, "OMG THIS SHOW IS PURE MAGIC!" And that eyeshadow Elsa was wearing. Damn! I loved everything about this episode except the opium rape film thing. That just felt like it was done kind of weirdly. Like, what was the point of even bringing the candy striper there for that? What was the motivation? It's not like she's super rich and Elsa can blackmail her or something. Maybe Elsa sells the films?

"Our girl is a photographer from Bolivia on assignment in the Netherlands...." WHAT? Way to get oddly and I suspect retroactively specific, there. (I may have gotten the countries wrong, but seriously, WHAT?) Is Korina a better designer than Char? I think so, yes. Is Char a better person than Korina? SO MUCH YES. As everyone else has mentioned, Korina bitching about Char and then, the moment Char opens her mouth, shrieking, "It's not about you! Just stop!" Like Korina is totally the wronged party. Wow. I love that Char and Sean basically laughed in her face, because what else can you do with someone like that? The preview for next week had me rolling my eyes, with Tim and his expansive hand gestures telling Korina she was with Char. I don't know why it surprises me anymore when this show makes it blatantly clear it's all about drama and not so much about fashion at all, but it still does, every time. Yeesh.

Every time the judges praise whatever whackadoo craft store dumpster crap Amanda vomits onto the runway, I want to tear my hair out. I am never, ever going to understand why they love her so much.

I can't be the only one who loudly and enthusiastically took the Lord's name in vain when that guy's dick fell off into the toilet and HE FLUSHED IT and it thwacka-thwacka-thwacka'ed its way into the plumbing. OMG. I don't think I made a fart face exactly, but a face was made.

So disappointed that Nzinga got auf'ed before the first challenge. I think it would have been so interesting to see how she worked hijab into all of the challenges. If nothing else, we would have seen some stuff we've never seen come down that runway before, instead of the same old tired crap season after season.
