Darlings, it’s been a little while since we could say this with confidence, but HERE’S your pretty for the day.   Are you excited yet? One thing to note: anyone who was hoping for mod ’60s styles entering the picture is going to be sorely disappointed. None of the major...

We’re somewhat disappointed with the readings last night. We expect our queens to be witty at the drop of a hat and most of this crowd, sadly, didn’t come through for us. You’d think these queens would spend some time working out a reading routine, since they know...

Apparently, no doesn’t mean no. We wish we could get past this, but the way they’re handling the Julia storyline is bothering us to the point of distraction. We’d like to think we’re not the type of viewer who confuses the characters on the screen with real people and...

Question: Was the penultimate episode of this season an indication that the writers have figured out where they want to go and thus the episode itself was the best one since Season 1 or is this just the show’s tendency to save all the good parts for the last 5 minutes of an episode writ...

We found our spirit guide among the cast of characters this week. It’s Derek, and please try to control your shock that we relate best to the most acerbic, sarcastic person in the story. Sure, he’s a bit of a jerk, but so far he’s the only person involved in the Marilyn...

It says something about the direction and tone of this show that the one character arguing for the preservation of life and the rule of law is the most irritating of all the characters by far, and what should have been a gripping argument about goals and methods instead turned into a whiny...

Well. That’s the problem with stories once you get everyone up to speed: there’s always a momentary “What’s next?” In a book, this pause-and-regroup moment could take as little as half a chapter, but in a serial television drama, it means entire episodes are...

Hit it, hos.   This, to us, is the most boring kind of drag queen. There’s no “character” here; it’s just a queen in a dress and wig. Totally dime-a-dozen. She looks pretty enough, we suppose, but totally generic.   We were with the judges on this one: if...

Better late than never, but this’ll be a short one. There was a welcome sense of focus to this episode and that’s something the show’s needed since, well, forever, really. Unfortunately, the writers chose to focus on a bunch of characters they’ve already spent way too...

Who, darlings? Who are the viciously hilarious queens who come up with challenges like “Pin a cock on Ru’s mouth?” Because we would like to shake their hands. We like to occasionally pretend that we’re funny queens, but this crew is operating on a whole different...

Because we are so very analytical in that way that gets us crossed off cocktail party invite lists, we couldn’t help but stop and take the time to assess our reaction to this episode. Because – oh, didn’t we say? We LOVED this episode. One of the tightest single-episode...

We’ll grant you that this is at least partially fueled by our dislike of his character, but isn’t Phi Phi’s face pretty consistently jacked up? Which is odd, because he’s one of the cutest boys out of drag, with a face practically made for makeup, all big eyes and...

Ugh. We can’t with this show anymore. If that’s not the reaction you expected us to have, well…. Look, we’ll go quietly. An episode like last night’s certainly had nothing but the best of intentions and we’re going to try not to shit all over that –...

Previously, on Smash: Now, the beauty of being a blogger is that you can convince yourself that people want to hear your opinion on all sorts of things. So let’s pretend everyone’s dying to hear what we think of Smash. Like many, we scoffed, rolled our eyes, and declared it a sad...

Now that’s a little more like it. Even though we’ve been complaining all season about the “stand around and talk about things” style of storytelling this season, when we say “that’s more like it,” we don’t actually mean the more action-oriented...

“Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.” Given how poorly the previous season was paced – so badly that “poorly paced” serves quite well as a primary descriptor for the season – it’s a bit astonishing that so much happened in these two hours...

Hit it, ladies! We hate to say it, but we are so not feeling this one. And her catwalk performances always seem frantic and weirdly robotic at the same time.   Serving up Joan Van Ark-at-the-’86-Emmys realness.   Enh. Not memorable. Bitch needs to start cashing those checks...

So, in light of this insane episode, we must ask the question that’s begging to be asked, even if no one else is asking it. Namely, Which Evil Soap Opera CrazyGay would win in a cagematch, Tyler or Downton Abbey’s scheming Thomas? Think about this one, now. Tyler’s more...

“Oh.” That was our voiced response when this episode opened at exactly the point the last one ended. It wasn’t a happy sound.  Considering our complaints about the first half of the season – that too much time was spent on that damn farm, standing around talking...

The episode’s called “Heart,” but it really should have been called “How Amber Riley Singlehandedly Saved Glee.” We don’t know if the show actually needed to be saved, but we’re pretty burnt out on it; there’s no denying it. The promise of the...

Darlings, we’re packing up and heading out today, New York Fashion Week only a happy memory in our minds. Yes, we are quite behind on our TV blogging. All we ask is that our Bitter Kittens remain patient. We’ll be in transit most of today but from Friday to Sunday, we’ll get...
