Yea, holy cow, thought that was pretty obvious.

Sally wasn’t talking about a dog, she was using code to ask Barry if he got rid of the body of the man she beat to death.

I don’t think the show will redeem Barry, nor should they, I think it was more just giving the character an honest reaction. I think there’s this odd innocence to Barry (not in a way that makes him likeable, just one that makes it understandable how he was able to be manipulated into a horrible person) that was kind…

I think, to me, one of the interesting and darkest elements of the show is it portrays how love can be sincerely felt yet meaningless. I believe Logan loved his kids, but did that actually matter in the end? Did it influence his decision-making, inspire to be a decent parent, really benefit them in the slightest? Of…

Pssh. That was a full day after the episode aired. The fake LA Times obituary popped up in my iPhone newsfeed at 6:38 p.m. Pacific time. The one time I didn’t watch right away, because I had family visiting and a dinner reservation.

There seems to be fairly unanimous agreement that this was an absolute dumpster fire disaster.

The untold story of how Cousineau went from dapper and put together to a sweaty pot-bellied mess in the course of his stage performance is the subtle hero of the premiere

Yeah, I think one of the weird elements of their relationship is that it’s transactional but they both feel emotionally safe knowing that. So the transactions blend with affection

Yeah, I saw that as Tom trying to “seduce” (ick) Shiv into taking him back so that he would have a place serving SOMEONE again. A direct response to Karl’s quite accurate observation that “now, you’re just married to the ex-boss’ daughter. And she doesn’t even like you.”

One of the ways this show really shines is the catty putdowns they toss off about normal people. First episode was the “ludicrously capacious handbag” and this one was about Willa’s mom having too much food on her plate: “Does she know she can go back?” If you’ve hung around people like this the tone of the writing is…

Give the Emmy to whoever managed to create a perfectly ambiguous line that could easily be read as an underline or a cross-out.

How To Blow Up A Pipeline is playing in 142 theatres.

It’s also fair to say that I have and do get caught up in the semantics. It does bother me that the word “always” got used there. But it’s connected to a broader sentiment about novelty, which is a significant bugaboo for me. Generally, though, I very much agree. I’ve watched the Pitt/Jolie Mr. and Mrs. Smith way more…

VERY good point about Mandos working best when contrasted against non-Mando characters. We’ve now got too many scenes of increasingly muddled factions of the same self-serious warrior types debating whether to retake a home world the audience knows little to nothing about, and has no reason to root for the characters…

That’s really interesting, but I think the difference is that Guinness was one of the main characters while Jack Black was just cast in a distracting cameo.

Well there are a lot of those “DC is more serious, MCU is too jokey and wisecracky. Stop trying to MCU my snyderverse” types.

Filoni’s treating himself to a new cowboy hat after coming up with the inevitable “Ahsoka did that, too!” ending to How Snoke Got That Big Face Scar: The Movie.

You hated more than two things about the Han Solo plot?

I’ve tried to make myself go back and watch the Holiday Special, but the cringe-threat is just too much. Plus I remember being little, and actually becoming angry at the show for VERY OBVIOUSLY teasing Han Solo’s appearance and only bringing him in for like 30 seconds near the end. I was old enough to know when I was…

First of all, the former writers of AV Club aren’t striking, so no one who replaced them (or is working at the site now) is a “scab.” Evidently you don’t know what that word means. But why are you even visiting the site at all? Your support of whoever you loved doesn’t seem to have enough integrity for you not to give…
