I always wondered if they wrote that ep for Michael, but he turned it down.

The guy at the Apple store must have just got his job. Siri comes installed on iPad. Weenie. I get a kick out of George Lucas's public persona, so I loved the commercial-- especially his little snipe about his charity commitments. ( The guy funded a public housing project just to flip Marin County the bird. He's alright.)

I have not watched this episode. Hearing Jim got whacked in the face really motivates me to scoot on over to On Demand. Hoody hoo! Karma, indeed!

(sigh) Watching the weekend marathon on LOGO. In the middle of some of my favorite episodes is this dumb bit about Tootie's aunt and uncle and their struggle to maintain marital bliss and their desire to further their separate ambitions while nurturing their mutual love and WHO GIVES A SHIT, YOU STUPID GROWNUPS? WHERE DID THE GIRLS GO? Agree with the OP, in other words.

That's why I called it a Sly Stone knock off. They didn't even try to make it not sound like "Respect Yourself."

Yeah, that was such bullshit. The "fuck you" really insulted We The Viewer's collective intelligence. The only way all that would work out for me is if Jackie turns out to have been a ghost for the whole episode.

Still convinced that was a "God" thing reconfigured. In fact, if you switch "Vigilante" to "God" in the roof scene, it becomes a lot less cringy and a lot more poignant.

I love Megan Follows, so yeah, the only reason I watch that ep is to watch her be cute. The one saving grace is watching Blair chew the scenery as she razzes Jo during that call for advice. Really, that was some spectacular acting..

Williams would definitely laugh first, but Conway would probably be thoroughly exhausted by then. :D That was the best. Note he is using the Tudball voice, too. I remember my grandma barking at me for referring to somebody as "possessed by John Wayne" when I was little.

I would be willing to bet my left nostril that the Chris Elliot thing was originally written to be a Michael Buscemi thing.

First of all, the sublingual amount delivered would have probably been ridiculously small, given the fact that not even all of the coating came off. Second, what little was there could have been rapidly diluted by her pounding lots of water. Third-- why did she just not hit the bathroom right after Zoey first approached her, so that later she could just claim it wasn't coming? Or fake diarrhea so she could pee it off throughout the day until she felt safer? She could keep pounding water, further the dilution, and keep Zoey the hell out of it. ... How sad is it that I am suggesting better ways for Jackie to lie?

I'm only holding out hope because next week's previews have great karmic potential

I was wondering if I should start watching Wayward Pines, but now that I know Hope Davis is involved (sigh) y'know I am just gonna have to become a slobbering fangirl of Wayward Pines.

Oh, that was horrible. Poor Fluffy.

I figured their storylines would have probably gone ass over teakettle with the takeover of ISIS. They probably had to scrap months worth of scripts to keep them up to date

Kevin's sister made him go to one Alanon meeting, and there was one episode where everyone made a big deal about Grace starting a chapter of Alateen, but there was no real effort made to explore the real problems of codependency or the actual work people do in these programs. The show gave even less respect to family support programs than they did to recovery programs, and that's saying a lot.

I realized Jackie's hair doesn't bother me, and I further realized I just got numb to it because the whole intro bugs the piss out of me. Especially that grating Sly Stone knock off of a theme song. Those bells drive me batshit.

I love every word of this, but particularly "Merkin Exceptionalism."

Sorry! More ideas! The topic of " drag mothers" comes up now and again-- how about a runway challenge in which the queens give homage to their drag mothers/family?

Sorry-- positive. I really liked the half -and-half runway, and hope they bring it back. The fugly dress challenge rocked. The mini musicals rocked-- in themselves, but also because the whole episode gave love to a groundbreaking drag superstar, and ( like with genderfucking and "Paris is Burning," I like the idea of using the show as a platform for honoring drag history.

"Female Trouble" was the Christmas tree sketch source. The poo eating thing came from "Pink Flamingos", and this was my IMDB review of that-- "The great thing about seeing 'Pink Flamingos' is you can tell everyone you have seen it AND THEN YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN." So yeah, his early work is kind of a cinematic trial by ordeal, but John Waters himself? He seems to just bubble over with delight at the human race, warts and all. It was a joy to see his twinkly eyed warmth commanding the panel this season. (Also, regarding the poo-eating thing: they could have at least faked it with a tootsie roll or something..)

They should have gone with the singing asshole.

Actually, after thinking it over, one justification for the current storyline would be to underline the reality that an addict's assholeyness is not magically cured by the removal of the drug. In AA, they call it being a "dry drunk"-- when you lose your physical addiction to the drug, but have done little/ nothing to attend the psychological/ emotional/ spiritual damage that addiction has done. So, I would disagree that there are two sides to Jackie-- pills didn't turn her into an asshole, it just fanned the flames of assholery that she already had. (and everyone does.) That is what made me grind my teeth at the namby pamby way they addressed "amends" in the season 3 rehab arch-- " taking inventory" is not just about making a list of dumb shit you did and people you need to apologize to, it's about recognizing counterproductive behavior that you are still acting out, drugs or no drugs. Yeah, that's part of what I mean.

Oh, and "Born Naked" sounds like the theme to a 1986 coming of age film starring Patrick Swayze.

She doesn't know how to conversate.
