So, if you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a bit of a fan of the Crime Scene series, and I’m excited that’s it back in the form of Crime Scene …

Episode 9 starts right where we left off, right after the eliminations of Episode 7. As the newly freed idols shuffle backstage, they receive flowers and letters from... themselves. MNet provides us with a heartfelt farewell to the five eliminated contestants, which was done right away and without wasting a week of time.

After an eventful Episode 7, MNet shifts gears and serves us a undercooked recap episode. They've done this before, but usually it's a half-and-half deal, 1 hour of recap and 1 hour of new content. Episode 8 runs just under an hour and is completely ignorable.
Read More »‘Queendom Puzzle’ Episode 7: No surprises during 1st eliminations & new Top 7; Semi-Final teams and songs are decided
We are LIVE! And people are going to DIE be eliminated! But also, a live broadcasted episode means less content to cover, as we'll probably be spending 20% of the showtime waiting for Taeyeon to reveal the results only to cut to commercial break. I'm ok with this.

Last week we saw the highs and lows of Team Cherry Bullet, but if you think we're done with the reversals you're highly mistaken.

We left off last episode with Cherry Bullet's Jiwon and Bora in the driver's seat for the 7-on-7 battle. Jiwon picked a couple of aces and some complimentary pieces, while Bora flexed the 'J' portion of her Myers-Briggs, monopolizing on the few rappers available.

Hello and welcome back to your weekly Queendom Puzzle coverage, and we’re halfway through the introductory Up-Down Battle from last episode, only pausing for a quick dinner break before going …

Queendom Puzzle is here, and I’ve returned to hopefully make amends for my (lack of) Boys Planet coverage (season review: zzzzz) and also maybe watch something somewhat interesting. Mnet‘s spin-off …
