RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars E8 - Finale
Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 7:32PM by Chris Feil
Can you believe that this season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars was only eight episodes?

Here's Part 1 of the 2 part discussion...
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
KIERAN: Watching the “Westworld” pilot and then the second episode, my immediate reaction—even in thinking that the pilot was relatively strong and an intriguing opening statement to the show—was that these two episodes should be reversed. I might even go so far as to say that the pilot, with all of its beautifully creepy, world-establishing glory (more on this later) is missable when held up against the power (both narratively and stylistically) of the second episode...
