I know some of these are pedantic, but some questions:

No further questions.

I’ve been in a few relationships so far as an adult (ranging from three weeks to three years long, including cohabitation) and I tend to perform a postmortem afterwards and mentally catalog shiny new bullet points for my grand list of dealbreakers, made possible in retrospect by understanding what caused each…

Monet wasn’t robbed, the same thing happened this week as last week: she had the strongest performance in the challenge, but her runway look was raggedy. I agree that it was a great character, but the whole outfit was unpolished. The pasties on her nipples were misshapen. The hospital gown looked cheap. And her hair,…

In lieu of more relevant discussion, here is a good sketch from Mr Show:

I think at this point Kotaku should run a “Speedrunning Explained” feature, that dispels a lot of these prominent misconceptions, so we can just link it every time commenters wander down that same path.

I didn’t really get the snark in the article, either. At the very least, it was confusing because it really does feel as though it’s directed at Clarke, who didn’t say anything problematic in the article.

This one also applies:

“People who like the games can only be dissapointed due to deviations between charater representations and thematic storytelling between two comparable sources of media” 

Have you played most video games? They’re not great at telling stories in 40-60 minute chunks. Do some video games, especially ones based on novels, have good stories? Sure! But can you just transplant that video game story to a TV screen and have it be EQUALLY as engaging and entertaining for audiences? No.

Yeah I was ready to lose my shit if this episode didn’t make the list. Far and away one of the funniest episodes the show ever did. I still lose it at Blake saying he’s reading a book about “economic political” and Lindsey Sloan goes “Oooh, an intellectual!” without a trace of irony.

I am an anxious traveler, and morning flights are great for two reasons:

Came here to post this. The Tudor period in particular was super obssessed with cleanliness, it just didn’t mean the same things to them as it did to us. So like being clean and smelling good were very important to them, but they had weird hangups like not wanting to wash with warm or hot water as it could make you…

Exactly! Keep Beyonce glamorous, but make the joke how ridiculously complicated it is to be that glamorous all the time, or how that can make her seem out of touch. You can do a really loopy, demented Beyonce while still never technically insulting her.

I don’t think Beyonce is ever a good idea for snatch game— she doesn’t have enough quirks to play off. The bar is also so high for nailing the look.

Yes and no. Technically, that would be a much better film than what we got. But when you break it down like that, it’s every superhero origin we’ve already seen. Whoever mentioned Doctor Strange earlier in the comments was bang on—the origin story is well-trodden territory, and was even by the time GL came out: 

I’m surprised this practice hasn’t already been turned into the subject of a TV show. I want a channel where it’s just people groveling 24/7. I don’t think I’d ever watch it, but I’d like to know that it exists.

Any inanimate object can be “harmless” until someone handles it the wrong way. A chef’s knife laying on the table isn’t hurting anyone...until I bump it off with my elbow and my sous-chef loses a toe.

Yeah, one of the best parts of the show’s growth in seasons 2 and 3 was the exploration of how Michael was just as fucked up, crazy, and often selfish as his family. Season 1 shied away from that and he often wound up as the lone voice of reason in a family of nutjobs, but the later seasons thankfully moved away from…
