In what sense are they pretentious, Pepsi? I know you're trolling, just curious about whether you actually have a view on this or if you're just saying words.

I saw a video of Ghost from the last NMH-proper tour, and it does sound like a different experience. They hit pretty hard for a bunch of cardigan-wearers.

No arguments at all about the incisiveness and depth the AV Club brings to its tv coverage. This site is my first destination after a new episode of Mad Men, followed by Grantland, Slate, Atlantic, the New York Times…

This Film is Not Rated is a decent account of how arbitrary the MPAA's film-rating/censorship practices are. I guess maybe more homophobic than arbitrary, actually.

Pete has this weird anti-charisma where I'm not sure what he'd have to do for me to not at least enjoy the guy.

I feel like it was partially to have someone pitch the idea of the molotov cocktail with an insurance company number below it (was that a thing, by the way? Did someone make that ad?). There were a bunch of other ways to get to that point, but this was a fun one.

I love how Peggy gets invited to a Bob Dylan concert back when he was a new thing, and by the time Greenwich folk has filtered through to the Don Drapers of the world, its being played as an interlude at a variety show, where rich white men take their escorts for dinner.

Yeah, I really liked that. He seemed so out of place among the Mad Ave people at the awards, and I was imagining a plotline where Peggy shucks him off as a relic of her flirtations with the counter-culture.  But I really like them as a couple.

And listen, while we're at it, there are systems for a reason in this world, economic stability, interest rates, growth. It's not all a conspiracy to keep you in little boxes, alright? It's only the miracle of consumer capitalism that means you're not lying in your own shit, dying at 43 with rotten teeth and a little…

I do find it odd that Lauren Laverne's not quicker on her feet during the show, she's a great, relaxed presenter most of the time. Definitely my favourite BBC Glastonbury anchor.

Quantocking might be my favourite episode of Peep Show ever, but  got to love Mark lecturing a group of hippies about the miracle of consumer capitalism in Jurying.

*sigh*… dammit.

It might just be the buzz from just having watched it, but I would put it in my Community top 10 right this second.

Best episode of the season, high tier for Community in general. Superb.

I think it's just a fun show for most people. There are… elements, though.

Really well-put. I started reading about the same time as you. The best thing about online pop culture writing for me is long-form pieces that use the subject as a jumping-off point for the writer to talk about whatever interests them, but the success of that stuff is based on the skill and sensitivities of the author.

The Q&A was an awful slow reveal of terribleness. At the top - Tasha Robinson leaves.

THE CONSOLATION FOR ALL THIS IS A NEW GIRL WALKTHROUGH?

Well said. From following these same writers for such along time, since 2005 or so, it's felt like a community in terms of the commentariat and in terms of the writers. Sad to see so many of those faces disappear.

It does seem like the success of the TV Club has been a- well, maybe not a poisoned chalice for the rest of the site necessarily, but it definitely seems to have shifted the AV Club's centre of gravity.
