To mark tonight’s season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, we asked season 4 fan favorite Stephen “tWitch” Boss — he and partner Katee Shean performed Mia Michaels’ Emmy-nominated routine to “Mercy” (a.k.a. “The Door Dance”) — to pick his favorite SYTYCD performances of all time. His list, “in no particular order,” follows.
15. Ade and Melissa, “This Woman’s Work” (season 5)
Choreographed by Tyce Diorio
“I’m definitely in tears writing about this one. There was power, trust, hope, understanding, compassion, sincerity, anger, fear, and all of the other underlying things that come along when you or someone you know goes through this experience [battling cancer]. Everyone who felt the power of this piece was connected on what the meaning of unconditional love really is and should be. Through it all, love stands, and no matter what, no matter how messed-up or not to our liking the situation may be, we have to strive for love to remain. Even if it is the road less traveled, it’s definitely worth the mileage.”
14. Melody and Ashle, “Message in a Bottle” (season 1)
Choreographed by Mia Michaels
“This piece is a true testament that dancers are artists as well as athletes, no matter what their gender. I know men in their prime that couldn’t handle the cardio work in that piece!” READ FULL STORY »

We Americans have had a sad history with Judge Dredd. The hardcore lawman, first published in Britain’s sci-fi anthology comic 2000 AD in 1977, is probably the most popular U.K. comic book character ever. He’s been written by luminaries like Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis, and Mark Millar. He is to British pop culture what Dirty Harry is to America’s: an uncompromising view of justice in a world that’s lost its way. And, most notoriously, Judge Dredd was adapted into the godawful 1995 Sylvester Stallone disaster, which marked the beginning of the end of Sly’s residence on Hollywood’s A-list.
A number of you PopWatchers noticed a shot of Tek during last week’s Hell’s Kitchen episode. What keen eyes you have! I completely missed the editing gaffe (I was most likely looking down at my notepad, scribbling the solution to our nation’s health-care crisis), but I re-watched the episode, and you guys were correct. Here’s the explanation a Fox rep sent me: “In reality television, editors must go through hundreds of hours of footage to cut a show. This episode featured a scene that was the result of an unfortunate editing oversight.” Was it merely an honest goof? Who knows? The mistake did, however, allow the show to squeeze in one of Ramsay’s better lines: “They serve fish more cooked than that in a sushi bar!”
