My head is whirling after studying this long article, especially using the adverbs mieux / pire for making a general statement with être eg Ta télé est bien mais la mienne est mieux.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but surely in English you use the adjectival form here? You don’t say "yours is well …mine is better" but "yours is good…mine is better".

 I think there is scope to highlight this more fully. [Edit: and indeed the Lawless article on Bien vs Bon that Chris referred to 4 years ago, actually says that bien is an adjective when used with state-of-being verbs]

does it mean "but it didn't depend on my fabulous boyfriend?" it just sounds a little weird...

Why we use "va" instead of "vas"? I thought it was "vas" since they communicate with "Tu".

Pourquoi “de” dans le phrase Et quant au dessert, attendez de voir la surprise que je vous ai préparée !“

Est-ce que quelqu’un peut me donner d’autres exemples?

This isn't really about the lesson per se, but two English-language books about DeGaulle: Julian Jackson "De Gaulle" & Jonathan Fenby "The General, Charles DeGaulle & the France He Saved" are fascinating character studies & well worth the read. 

The man that Churchill once described to FDR as "our mutual headache", c'était vraiment un homme compliqué.

"Il est bon", refers to the actor or the film? If it is the film, shouldn't it be "c'et bon"?

Can you please confirm the pronunciation of LE PLUS when it comes in the middle in case of Superlatives - 

W/ VERBS

- Je travaille le plus dans ma famille. (ploo) ?

W/ NOUNS

- J'ai le plus d'amis. [I have the most friends.] (ploo) OR (plooS)?

- J'ai ramassé le plus de feuilles. (ploo) OR (plooS)?

And if it was Comparitive with Noun, then,

- J'ai ramassé plus de feuilles que toi.  (plooS)?

I found this link below, but this only gives the scenario of Superlatives with Verbs & Adjectives but doesn't give the scenario of Superlatives with Nouns.
