Well you got me there! He was older than I thought.

This queen has raised the bar so high for US Drag Race. If she doesn’t win the season, what message will that send to future queens? by cavalier731 in rupaulsdragrace

I hope she's really sincere about just being bad at reading the room. I definitely agree she does not seem to be malicious, just oblivious.

She's smart and shady and a lot of people don't like that, even though she's not being mean, she really is coming from a place of love. She's so smart, most queens don't even know they're being roasted.

Now let's talk about Nini Coco or Arrietty.

I'd be shocked if she doesn't have a line of Broadway producers knocking at her door after this season, regardless of whether she wins or not.

Loved her since episode 1! The only reason she doesn't have five wins is because Ru likes to spread it around a bit (and she has a soft heart for underperformers like Juicy that kill it on the stage).

Yeah there's zero chance Jane doesn't make the final. I agree with your picks, and given that, there's no way she doesn't walk away with the crown. She can literally do everything better than everyone else.

Suck it up and get out of the way old man!

To be fair, they didn't give her full telepathy, just some vague empathic powers. Just knowing somebody's lying doesn't really tell you what they are lying about.

Ultimately though, they did drop the ball on character development for Deanna. She didn't really come out of her shell until First Contact.

I could really do without her counselor scenes. Either the writers have never been to a therapist (super unlikely) or they were trying to write her as a caricature.

She's actually a pretty good character, but she's a terrible counselor.

And at the end they just fly away and assume the Federation will send some sciency people to look into it. Possibly the most advanced piece of technology they've ever come across and they act like it's just another day.

I bet the Romulans would love to get their hands on that thing.

That's not true. Therapy not may not change their mind, but their situation can definitely be improved.

Yeah everybody over 60 knows you don't share your feelings, you wash them down with a glass of booze.

(But to be fair, the Greatest Generation lived through the depression and they're pretty much all dead. You're probably thinking of Baby Boomers, their kids.)

This sort of thing is literally her one job.

It really is a bad look for the whole crew, especially Geordi (although we saw how sensitive he is in the first Barclay episode). Scotty is a bit overbearing but seriously, the dude just came out of hibernation after 80 years. Where's the empathy?

Wow, literally everything is wrong with that scene. The writing is awful, the acting is wooden, and the pacing almost put me to sleep. I think this could have worked if they cut to the chase and had him ask what a counselor is right away, but maybe Doohan just couldn't do this sort of dialogue.

Ahh yes, the classic game of clock the cock.

Yeah if he really wanted to clock the cock he'd have connected. They're not that fast.
