When the All-Stars Roast Lady Bunny At Her Funeral, A Surprise Twist May Send Them Straight to Hell

RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, Episode 5: "Roast In Peace"

The All-Stars enter the Werk Room and see Latrice's message and do their usual regroup before de-dragging. They commence being pretty shitty to Manila. It's pretty obvious that Manila is shaken up and upset. I mean, she's openly sobbing, but none of the other queens reach out to her or try to console her. They are all surprisingly cold and for me, it wasn't a great look. You can argue that they aren't a fan of how they perceive Manila to be playing this game, but Manila saving Latrice and sending Monét home isn't a game move. And how can they be shocked when Manila was pretty up front in during deliberations that she was going to fight to save Latrice. None of this was done behind anyone's backs. So, this outrage and determinations to send Manila home once she's in the bottom two, doesn't really ring true. 

"Fuck Batman" Titans Recap: "Titans" & "Hawk & Dove"

Titans

When they first announced that they were making a live-action TV series featuring the Teen Titans, I was pretty excited. When I was a kid, "The New Teen Titans" was one of my favorite comic series published by DC. It reminded me of the X-Men, I loved Starfire. This was going to be awesome. Promotional material slipped out, I loved the costumes, a little dark, but this is DC. Then they released the first trailer and we got the "Fuck Batman" heard 'round the world. I was not impressed. I wasn't and still am not sure, why the people who make these shows at DC think that hyper violent, dark and gritty is the way to go even if the material doesn't call for it. 

It was definitely a big disappointment and I really had zero plans to watch this show. Then DC Universe went and announced the third season of "Young Justice" would be on their service and that just started. So, I finished those and I just went ahead and decided "let's see how this goes." And I thought it would be fun to chronicle my watch on the old blog. I'll do two episodes at a time, similar to my B: TAS rewatches. The season finale will have it's own post since the season is 11 episodes, which is an odd number for a season, but OK. Let's get this party started. Titans Together, I guess.

When the All-Stars Face Jersey Justice, a Beloved Queen May Be the Victim of a Hung Jury

RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, Episode 4: "Jersey Justice"

I just need to take this moment to say that autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is terrible. Just awful. Like, you really want to hear this in your ear before you go to sleep? Seriously? Why though? I was at a friends and they kept playing these videos over and over again and I thought, this would be my hell. Forced to listen to someone creepily whisper or scratch things in my ears for all of eternity. And then, my favorite show has the audacity to throw it in my face. I'm triggered. I am not here for it. No ma'am!

Whew. Well, if you made it through that first paragraph and are still here,  you're a trooper. God bless. Onto business. The queens enter the werk room after Gia's elimination and Manila explains that though she loves Gia, she was annoying as fuck and it was time for her to go. Solid. Trinity reveals that she also chose Gia and commends Manila for making the right decision and playing a fair game. To the rest of the queens, Manila is gracious but in her confessional, she is all fuck these bitches. Manila is going to make the best decision for herself and if they don't like it? She don't care. Oh Manila. I love you gal, but I'm afraid for you if/when you land in the bottom two.

"I Am the Night" Rewatch: "Trial" & "Avatar"

Batman The Animated Series

It's been a minute. I feel like we've had this conversation before. I'm a slacker. But it's a new year. And, the good thing about this delay is that these two episodes were the first that I was able to watch on blu-ray and hoo boy. They look real good. So let's jump back into season 2.

When the All-Stars Play the Snatch Game of Love, How Will They Know When It's Time to Send Someone Home?

RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, Episode 3: "Snatch Game of Love"

Why are the AS4 queens blowing smoke up Valentina's ass? First, they allow her to monologue after she wins and now they are overpraising her lip sync against Monét. Let's be real, it wasn't that great. She was spastic, didn't know all the words. I guess you had to be there? After the obligatory talk of how hard it is to send your sisters home (which has never sounded less sincere), Monét reveals she also sent home Farrah. I get the feeling that Valentina's edit points to either an unceremonious early out or that she goes all the way. We will see.

When the All-Stars Form Girl Groups, Some Are That Somebody, While Others Need to Try Again... Henny

RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, Episode 2: "Super Girl Groups, Henny"

The queens hit the werk room after Jasmine's elimination and it's a familiar scene. Trinity is teary as she wipes away Jasmine's message and she reiterates to the other queens that eliminating one of their own is not easy. Monét is not impressed. I don't understand why other queens shade someone for feeling badly. I assume it's because they think it's just for sympathy? Whatever. It's silly. Gia continues the 2018 Farrah Moan Shade Tour continuing to say that Farrah is not talented, but she does call her a beautiful bitch. So, I guess that's nice?
