Coming in 4 months late for this, but I'm already reading avclub comments drunk so fuck it: I get your point about it being unnecessary, but the dude calls himself Wednesday and has a glass eye in a book called American Gods, were they really spoiling anything?

do you know which ep this is? I want to revisit it for pissy probst

How is the quality of other episodes of this show? I'm considering picking it up to fill the hole Gravity Falls is soon to leave in my heart.

I tried to explain what I loved about Fury Road to a friend who saw it and didn't get all the hype, and I realized I just couldn't. It's an experience you can't explain.

Replying nine months later to say he shot a dog that had rabies, which seems like an act of humanity.

are those actual books? If so, what are the titles?

could you explain the significance of that?

you're probably right that it's a mistake but you could also say that's why Diane thought they named her that, and she's just wrong and is actually named after Princess Diane or something

also she's the only one of the group who shares my contempt for Ross

I don't think it's a well-stated point, but I don't know that that's what the authors are trying to say. I think it's more that The Flash lacks the weighty themes each of the other shows deals (or in the case of Mad Men, dealt :( …) with. Something fun and good like The Flash can still deal with important themes,…

I haven't seen anything but the first episode so far, but it's definitely on my list for the summer

I found these episodes at the very least interesting enough to keep my attention. I have to say I really wish you were going with the 'one episode a day' strategy you used for several other shows, it'd make it easier to line up when I'm watching the show with the reviews. This way it'll basically be the end of the…

to each his own, but man you are so wrong about "Dinner Party"…

*smug, reluctant, cool white guy

I laughed for far too long.

Visually, I think the site looks great. This is the right direction to go, particularly since the site looked awful from mobile. It seems like a lot of functionality has been lost, and it needs to come back as soon as possible.

Maureen Johnson is like 30, so it's not like she's an actual 'young adult' as far as the genre is concerned? I don't exactly see why the age of a person writing the book should matter though. Should children's books only be written by children? The fact that a YA writer is not a teenager should be of no concern,…

Maureen Johnson is great. If you're looking for evidence, see her absurd and awesome 'coverage' of the royal birth. (Don't worry, it thankfully had profoundly little to do with the actual royal birth)

@avclub-79097abf807eb2122bee5f4cabcef7ab:disqus okay, but that doesn't really change the fact that he apparently didn't need the arc reactor in his chest

I just realized a major continuity hole. One of the main plot points of Iron Man 2 revolved around Tony Stark having to make that new element so he could power the arc reactor in his chest. He was literally about to die because he had to have the arc reactor in his chest, and now he can suddenly just forego the arc…
