Nah, Daisy/Deke never worked for me. Like both, don't like them together. Plus, I don't think that Daisy was ready for a relationship yet. Remember, it had been barely a year since Lincoln died when she encountered Deke, and she is still feeling heavy guilt over it.

That is assuming that the base was full of Inhumans. Remember, most Inhumans don't actually live there, they just come to visit when they need help or in order to connect with the community. Since they currently have a volatile Inhuman who threatens to destroy the whole base around, it is pretty likely that there only were a handful people there. During the fake attack of shield, the compound was pretty full, due to Raina foreseeing Ultron, and Jiaying most likely made sure that the most powerful would be around. And we do know that a lot of Inhumans have pretty crappy powers which aren't really make them all that dangerous. Also...I wonder about Malick. More precisely, I wonder what his strange clothing are hiding.

It's less that the rose pedals following her around which annoys me, it is more that she makes it the centre of the challenge at every opportunity. It's like sponges and cow patterns: One time is cute, two times it gets old, from the third time onward it just becomes annoying.

I also like Lemon...if nothing else, she knows how to do branding.

Nah, Cracker is too smart for that. She knows exactly that the fan voting does play a role regarding who wins, and the fans don't like it when Queens don't vote out the weakest candidate of the week.

Just for the record: Schools in Germany aren't even fully open yet! It's for one depending on the federal state (since education is "ländersache", meaning how to deal with this is a decision which is not made by the overall government), how schools handle their hygiene concept differs too (some split the classes so that there are less pupils in the room, others teach as much as possible outside), AND pretty much immediately after it was decided that they could open again, summer vacation time started, which are six weeks in the summer (when it starts depends on the federal state). We are still experimenting with what works and what didn't.

I doubt that they can afford Loki...but it would be really fun if they actually were allowed to use footage from the Battle of New York and maybe even Endgame. (In my head-canon one of the ships turning up belongs to the Agents). Ward, Will, Deadlock and Flint are currently on the top of my list of characters I would love to see...and there is still the unsolved mystery of a certain Inhuman on the bottom of the see.

Juju developed certainly more than Shea did. I want her to win.

Yeah, the phone call was weird. I know they want to wrap up suspense, but it went way too long and then you had this dancing scene, and Kennedy walked in with those register to vote signs but the camera never focussed on it so I needed some time to figure out what they actually were. Honestly, it would have been more fun if the dancing scene had suddenly be interrupted by the phone call.

Nah, I always hated it when someone came back.

The difference between Shea's and Blair's look was simply that you would be able to find and buy all the pieces she wore at amazon, while Blair's look was clearly custom made. And I don't think that Shea's jacket was that freaky, it was just a little bit colourful.

I have thought about which one I want to win...I guess there is a huge chance that Shea will get it for the redemption narrative which was pushed the whole season, but my order is actually Jujubee, Cracker, Shea. But I wouldn't necessarily mind either of them winning.

In hindsight, they REALLY missed an opportunity this episode...they should have had Deke following Mack in Lola and later put Coulson's mind into Lola. What happened to Lola btw? Haven't seen her in ages....

What is so odd about Jim Morita still alive and a potential problem in the 1970s but dead in the 2010s? In the file you can only see when he was born and that he is deceased, but not when exactly he died.

Not necessarily...I remember her doing a similar challenge, and there her "jokes" mostly consisted of shaking around a fake F-size. Which is the extend of her humour, she is mostly simply loud. Anyway, I lived for Cracker giving out the roles and explaining how she made the picks in order to fuck with everyone. She was naturally only half serious, but there are two ways those things go: Either someone tries to be nice and hence "goes first" as some sort of sacrifice (though honestly, I think I would want to go first in a challenge like this...fresh audience and no risk that someone used similar material to yours beforehand. Yes, you have to warm up the audience, but that can happen to you too if the queen before you bombed), or they try to pretend that they didn't pick the best slot for themselves. It was kind of refreshing for Cracker to be all "okay, I don't want to go first, I don't want to go last, and I don't want to go after or before a queen so good in comedy, she might outshine me", and be honest about it. That she won wasn't really a surprise...just like the sewing challenge, this is her thing after all, and she is the best writer of the bunch. The only risk was that the performance would be too stiff, and while it kind of was (she just doesn't have the easy presence someone like Jujubee has), the fact that Jujubee stumbled a little bit at the start made her the obvious winner. Blair wasn't really "overprepared", she was unprepared. Honestly, she is supposed to be a theatre queen, and doesn't know how to memorize her own jokes? It is one thing to have a pad with some bullet points on them, but basically reading them off the sheet, she should have known that this wouldn't work. Thus said, if she HAD managed to deliver her jokes properly, I would have routed for Shea to go home. I am so tired of her rose petals story. Honestly, how many queens fell short of winning this show, but I have never seen any of them whine so much about it. Plus, Sheas runway was by far the worst. It was waaaay to safe. The one which somehow landed her in the bottom would have been a better fit for THIS challenge. Juju had the best runway, Cracker gets brownie points for not going the obvious route, and it was nice to see her in a different wig with different make-up. Honestly, having Kennedy there and then playing THIS song? I mean, it confirmed what I always thought, that Kennedy is more splits than actual lip sync performance, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't have loved to see her ramp it up. I was also sure that as long it could be argued, Cracker would win this one, because no matter who she would have chosen, it would have created drama. Overall though, better than expected. I usually don't really like the comedy challenges all that much, because most of the performances by the queens tend to be overly awkward, so having just one awkward performance was a win for me.

Well, beforehand they were following whatever course the Chronicons set. But now they have lost control and are hopping over the timeline. After three jumps it shouldn't be difficult to do the math.

May I mention how much I love Boa? For one, I am so used that "big queens" are really loud and somewhat obnoxious, it is kind of strange to see one which is more on the "normal" level of attention-seeking for drag queens. And two, usually they make every joke about their size, but Boa never really does this. Either she is basically praising the beauty of her curves, or she makes the joke about something else. This hairy look really made me laugh, one of the best reveals because somehow I didn't see it coming. At least, I didn't see THAT coming. And in the main challenge, she was clearly the best, I couldn't take my eyes out of her. I have NO idea why they kept Tynomi again. I felt that the decision was questionable last week and that the deciding factor was more Kyne's attitude, but this week, I call BS. Tynomi wasn't even sync in some of the lip sync, she clearly faked some of the words by kind of moving the lips at the right places, but the movements didn't really fit what was sung. And now in hindsight, I would have preferred to see if Kyne has something more exciting in the luggage after all than dealing with more of Tynomi's insecurities. I am sorry, I am not trying to be mean here, but she clear feels out of her element. If she is so legendary, she surely slays it in the club setting, but drag race is apparently not the right format for her.

Cracker does better this time around because she no longer has to compete with Aquaria in the look department, or with Asia and Monet regarding the stage presence. Shea can still outdance her, but in any other challenge she now has the same change to succeed as anyone else in the line-up.

But forward didn't work, right...did she run backwards? Anyway, I actually liked the limit on her abilities. Speeder powers are a real headache for a narrative without such limits. But I guess they will be able to deal with it for a few episodes.

I wonder if they will still end up sending him to Maveth, just a few years later.

Might have also explained why she studied to be a doctor. Maybe she thought that with more knowledge, she might have been able to help her daughter. My favourite part of the episode was the whole part with May and Yoyo of all people being forced to meditate and delve into their feelings. THIS is how you do a proper character-centric episode. I really loved that they went basically through all of Yoyo's past hurt (well, they skipped her cousin dying for her plan). I think the logical high points they need to revisit would be the monolith and the Ghostrider. But the former makes most sense for the 2000s, and the latter, well, not sure if they can afford an appearance. Same for Ward. It they skip though the "highlights" he should turn up, but who knows if that was even an option.

Not really...it's not THEM who mess up the timeline, that's still the Chronicons. So, now the show isn't just inflicting more trauma on our favourite characters, they come up with even more of it from the past????? Those writers have a sadistic streak. I admit, I don't really got the "bouncing back" solution in the end.....

I adore Deke! Always have since he ended up in our time.

Currently they are following the show itself...they went through the Agent Carter era, then Project inside (which dominated the end of season 1) and next week they will apparently cover season 2 If they continue in this vain, the monoliths would be the next step.

Of all the episodes, this is still my least favourite. I never liked the "make over" episodes all that much, but having someone where who obviously doesn't really want to do it and has apparently been talked into this by his wive is just uncomfortable to watch. Thankfully they wisened up later on and started to pick people who were already kind of familiar with a TV setting for this kind of episode.
