One thing you can’t say about the writers of this show is that they’re somehow obscure with their themes. “Secrets” is the title and thus, the narrative is suddenly flooded with them. We thought this was a good-to-excellent episode, with some much-needed emotional...

Well gosh. Maybe we’re getting spoiled. After watching Vivian masturbate,  Moira bite off a man’s penis, and a single-breasted Nora put a bullet in her crazy husband’s head (as well as one in her own), we actually felt a little let down by this episode. That should tell you...

Darlings, when Amber Valetta opened her crystal-clear eyes and expressed puzzlement on her perfectly intact face after falling 5 stories in an evening gown and then revealed that she … dun dun DUN!!!! … has amnesia, we giggled and settled in for a perfectly delicious hour of...

Glee has a problem with bullying. We don’t mean “has a problem” in the “doesn’t like it and wants to confront it” it sense, although the show is desperate for you to see it that way. No, we mean Glee has a problem with bullying in that they want to appear...

We found ourselves enjoying this episode somewhat against our will. Just when we thought the show had fully petered out, having never really come to an understanding of what kind of show it wanted to be, along comes this episode, probably the most tightly scripted, cohesive, self-assured...

“It’s a wonder you people have survived this long.” Gotta love Hershel. He may be a xenophobe, and dangerously naive about the nature of the zombie plague, but when the man speaks, true things tend to fall out of his mouth. When a traffic jam causes one child to go missing,...

On this week’s installment of The Jessica Lange Method of Scenery Chewing and Scaring Your Co-Stars, Professor Lange was uncharacteristically subdued. No threatening to break anyone’s goddamn arm; no scenes where her tears literally leap off her face like they’re committing...

Twelve hours later, and we still can’t quite get a handle on this episode. From that, you’d think it was unusually complex in its themes and structures or uncharacteristically vague in its conclusions, but it was neither of those things. In fact, it was a quite simple episode; the...

This is one of those reviews we almost feel bad writing because it’s going to sound more negative than we actually felt after watching this episode, which was mostly enjoyable fluff. But the operative phrase here is “enjoyable fluff,” because while the show maintains its...

We’ve been bitching and moaning all season about the lack of movement in the story, but, at the risk of sounding trite, there’s movement and then there’s movement. Some people took our yearning for movement as literal, which isn’t too surprising in a story this nomadic...

Y’know, when this show first premiered, it was savaged by the television critics. And while we have a lot of respect for a lot of television critics, it felt to us like the claws were out and fully sharpened on this one, because a lot of them were ready to pay back show creator Ryan...

Anya makes fairly pretty clothes in an extremely narrow range. There’s no crime in any of that nor is there any reason to think she’s less likely to have a successful fashion design career as anyone else who ever appeared on (or even won) Project Runway. You never know. There were...

Okay, what were you more surprised by, Nolan’s abs or Nolan’s sexual orientation? Because we were pretty blindsided by both. Does this show get more delicious week after week or what? We don’t know why so many people call it a “guilty pleasure.” There’s no...

In retrospect, we’re thinking Josh was the Michael Costello of this season. Not because he played the victim one too many times (although Josh could turn to victimhood at the drop of a hat: “You’re getting very aggressive with me!”), but because he got strung along by...

Here’s a poser: would we have hated this episode if it had followed directly on the heels of the excellent previous one, without the baseball-induced 4-week hiatus separating the two? Or would the high quality of “Asian F,” one of the best single episodes in the history of...

We’ve made no secret of the fact that we thought Viktor should have won this season because his collection was easily the strongest of the four finalists. In the tent, at the time, we weren’t quite as sure. We immediately saw it for the strong collection it was, but we thought...

Well, now we know why Pan Am’s ostensible star, Christina Ricci, has been spending a puzzling amount of time in the background so far. It was so they could do this character-defining episode. We’ve been complaining since the first episode about the curious lack of Christina and...

We were glad that Kimberly got her chance to show at Fashion Week. Of all the finalists, we thought she wanted that chance more than any of them. Unfortunately, she choked a little when she got there. The problem with her collection on a whole was that there was too much of a street-y...

Hey, remember last week when we said something about the rehabilitation of Shane’s character? Turns out you can forget that one. Actually, the argument could be made for a more nuanced view; that what Shane did wasn’t as monstrous as it appears to us sitting in the comfy real...

Yeah. So THAT happened. The thing about our Project Runway blogging is that it’s changed over time. It’s had to. We went from being total bystanders, no different from anyone else who watches the show, to the guys that people involved with the show read regularly, and the #1 guys...

Okay, bitches. Let’s get this one started.   It would have been possible to write this post without ever seeing the pictures. Say what you will about Anya, she has a very definable point of view. Long-skirted or wide-legged, most often paired with a plunging neckline and rendered...
