This is the most Onion-esque A.V. Club article I have ever read.

Hollywood continues to be bad at depicting Asian Americans in an authentic, clever, or original manner.

To Todd, Harmonites, and Community die-hards:

The premise sounds like NBC's answer to Modern Family. What sets it apart as a family sitcom?

Which one's the worst?

You know what? I like it. I like that finally this show is becoming a challenge for critics, who once lavished grade inflation upon this show. I'm glad they're distraught and not laughing. They heaped A-'s and A's upon Community once continuously, so this change of pace is welcomed.

Maybe it's not him I hate, but his fan club.

On the other hand, Back in Black by AC/DC.

The graveyards are full of indispensable men. Frankly, if Community is so overly reliant upon such a man, then it belongs in the graveyard in the plot beside him.

Dan Harmon is just one of those insufferable pop culture auteur types like Joss Whedon, isn't he.

It's been three episodes. THREE EPISODES

They asked for six seasons and a movie. They'll get six seasons and a movie.

It's probably less about pretending to be Jeff's wife, than it was about pretending to be the wife of someone. Like in Mixology, she was just pretending to be a grownup.

If that Grantland article is any indication, Dan Harmon is the next Ricky Gervais in terms of comedy icon who is entirely insufferable and hate-worthy.

Good, hopefully this will be terrible enough to keep UK Office worse than US Office.

I was mostly thinking of his nostalgic…

Fair enough, but modern sci-fi does seem to have gone a long way since the lofty exploration of Roddenberry and lusty adventures of Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon, and more into averting Total Existence Failures.

It's a sweeping historical epic with big battles and larger-than-life warlords and politicians scheming and bits of humor here and there. I'm not sure if there are any of his other films that it's comparable to.

Given how modern pop sci-fi* these days is mostly post-apocalyptic survival, or gritty reboots, or dystopian, it seems to be matching the zeitgeist.

Red Cliff is like the entire Lord of the Rings series and Lincoln combined. Both an epic and a historical character study of national heroes, written in lightning, wrapped in one.
