  1. Trader Joe's has like 50 ube products. Everybody, just calm down with your "Ew, purple starch!" I got so desperate for this show I started rewatching old episodes, or trying to. Good god, the other hosts were awful. Please, Jon, never leave this show. He's perfect.
  2. Yes! And Conrad Birdie is actually in jail in the jail scene in Episode 2 for hitting on a teenage girl. I forget the details, but the song points out a few of the inmates' crimes and you see him in his gold suit briefly denying she was underage. This whole show needs to be watched practically frame by frame to get everything, its creators are so smart.
  3. Yeahbut, they built all four walls. Not trying to be the mah jongg geek here, but I have spend hundreds of hours at play, and I didn't see a pusher in their game. Mah jongg is a bit like chess in that it's a war game. The "walls" are city walls and the first roll of dice determines which "wind" you play--East, West, North, or South, with East making the first discard and pickup. I guess I can see how they would play that way, but with a lot fewer discards in the center, it's harder and would take much longer. Like, Risk long. But I'm being a nerd and getting in the weeds about this. I started out thinking they were the coolest old ladies but by the end they were genuinely terrifying, and I loved how Charlie's trajectory was ours as well. This show gets better with every episode. I pray to the network gods they will bring it back for another season.
  4. Two people cannot play a game of mah jongg! Christ on a cracker, you guys. P.S., I love this series.
  5. I really want to know which cheese Liam Neeson had.
  6. 100 percent. He's as cute and charming as when I fell in love with Seth Cohen. As for the show...I'm only two episodes in, but it's Californication with a billion times more money and privilege. I keep hearing that men find the women on dating apps are either bots or sex workers or don't exist, so i have a hard time believing Jessie Eisenberg (no shade; I love him, but you know, we live in a world with Hemsworths) is getting a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade of nonstop poontang.
  7. Their prodigious sloppy drinking aside, those guests showed how feeble and limited they were when they decided that, without plates of food to shovel in their maws, they were "bored." I guess a meal isn't about enjoying each others' company and, like, talking about stuff with your friends. At the leisurely five-course tasting meal you requested, no less. They seemed really sad and shallow to me. I know Rachel didn't exactly whip out the dishes at a brisk pace, but "bored"? Nice reflection on your fellow diners, there, Utah.
  8. Well, I think I've yelled, "Oh, FUCK!" at the screen enough for one night. Time to watch something soothing, like Top Chef.
  9. 100%! I'd rather have another season of DR Thailand than that overstuffed 36-look, two-episode whateveritis kicking off the new All-Stars. Hell, I'd rather watch Drag Race Thailand reruns. I think that on balance, any new away games could benefit from more non-European, Western inclusion. I know there is a lot to take into consideration when proposing a new country or territory for this sort of show, but I do hope RuPaul's production company thinks about it before casting RuPaul's Drag Race Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, and the Benelux Countries. No shade to their queens.
  10. Thank you! I didn't get it either. I'm finding this iteration much fresher than DU, but overall I'm disappointed by all the punny drug names--Metal Donna, Kita Mean, Crystal Method (love you, girl!). It just makes me sad.
  11. So much CGI. Everything was an unnatural color. I liked it okay but would have really been swept away if it looked the least bit like Victorian London or, you know, some place on Earth.
  12. Geez, folks, the answer to the Winnie-the-Pooh question was obviously "Eating his honey." Not that the actual game matters, I know, but I was waiting for someone to say it.
  13. You're quite right. That superlong hiatus they took midseason had me confused.
  14. I think I'm done. I know it's super close to the end, but it's been two season of the bad guys winning and winning and winning and it's miserable to watch. No one gets a break. The two PI's look about 14 years old and I can't take them seriously, a priest is dead and a child in mortal danger, three young women damaged forever, and the monsters behind it all just keep coming out on top. It's not suspenseful or thrilling because this is not an equally matched fight. Bad guys win. Good guys lose. Never mind the plot stupidities, the latest of which is, even if Helena is a huge, bustling city, NOT ONE neighbor or grocery store clerk or anyone recognizes the obvious drawing of Ronald. I thought this would be a fun procedural but it's not fun at all. Just grueling hour after hour in which nothing good ever happens. Even if it did suddenly all turn around in the last episode, it's too late.
  15. I feel like Mike is the kind of guy who, when asked what he wants for dinner, would say, "Food." I hate those people.
