And while you're at it, be sure to tweet them at @tebtswrapupshow and "Like" them on Facebook.

True, but in the previous two seasons, the dark elements were either subtle, or brushed over (yeah, Steve's mom mentions having poisoned them all, but it's given a quick "um… oh" and they move on to Steve tryin' ta be happy and do stuff). This season is just RIGHT IN YOUR FACE with it all.

Yeah, episode two kinda felt over-the-top — like darkness just for the sake of darkness and shock value. I haven't seen the third episode just yet, but yeah, Planes was great, haha.

The exception to this, I would say, was Skyward Sword. As frustrating as the majority of that game was for me, the first two hours were not the problem. Yeah, they were basically an extended tutorial, but they also used them as an opportunity to really build the relationship between Link and Zelda which was

When I read the headline, my heart skipped a beat, thinking that Clone Wars was the series being referred to here. Then I remembered that there was another, lesser series called THE Clone Wars and I went back to my stoic, unfeeling norm.

I hear you, friend. JRPG's take way too long for me to have so many of them in my backlog… But I have to 100% them all!!

If you dislike most shounen anime (particularly the big names like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc.), then I'd recommend checking out AoT a little bit longer. It fits in the same genre, but it subverts, examines, and deconstructs so many of the usual tropes and cliches and does so many things that the other shows don't

Oh, totally. "Attack on Titan" may sound kind of ridiculous by English standards, but it's way better than any of the direct translation options I can think of!

Not a SINGLE mention of the "Grab Your Garmin" ad from 2007?? But it's clearly the best!

20 minutes? Hah! It only took me _ten_ minutes to get my entire family killed!

Yeah. Gravity technically qualifies as science fiction, but it's really, really hard science fiction. The harder the sci-fi becomes, the more it toes the line separating sci-fi and… uh, "regular" fiction, so I can understand why many don't consider Gravity to be "real" sci-fi.

Worry not, friend. While Clementine is certainly much tougher than her season 1 incarnation, she's still very much a little girl. The dynamics of her and other survivors are much different than with Lee. People looked to Lee as someone who could help, who could lead, but nobody's gonna give a ~10-year-old girl that
