Michael Cera sold the shit out of that almost chicken dance, making it look like it was going to be epic.

Yeah, this really gets at the worst aspect of a lot of criticism surrounding the season. I have no problem with them disliking it. Whatever different strokes. But so many people clearly writing from a predetermined narrative of what this groundbreaking season was supposed to be, and then not being that. That's not how…

@avclub-610a161aaa74c014bad8d12919428d82:disqus Yes, I'm surprised how much the critics seemed to miss this in not getting the basic structure of what happened (and then subsequently criticize it for not building to anything). It's all about taking each character from Point A ("Development Arrested") to Point B (the…

A lot of her songs sound uncannily like Judee Sill, and occasionally a bit of Vashti Bunyan.

Hemlock Grove (actually had better numbers than House of Cards)

The first three minutes of his episode, Cross puts on a clinic of mannered and physical comedy. That bit with the chair may have surpassed his slipping on Lucille's drink.

Except breaking new ground in its wildly absurdist and experimental disregard for conventional linear storytelling. So the Tristram Shandy of television comedies? (Throwing down the gauntlet on who can make the most effusive comparison.)

I like that they felt they had go to out of their way to explain Will Arnet suddenly getting fucking ripped. Single life is treating that man well.

And shortly after that blew Herbert Love…away.

I think there's something far more exciting about Hurwitz and co. braving new frontiers on what will soon replace network television. It's all going there, and while a lot of it will probably look like the same old episodic television, the medium invites a different kind of storytelling. It's really cool to watch that…

Hands down my favorite callback was the blue land, and like the others were tastefully restrained in never winking too much at the fans.

In spite of what I've seen other people say, it is a much, much denser show than its first incarnation, which I didn't think was possible. When you really think about the logistics of putting that 15 episode arc together it's well beyond the most ambitious stuff they ever did for fox. If I'm being honest it's probably…

Favorite sight gag: The Gob/Ann mouse routine gave me a conniption.

I googled it and a picture of Rick Santorum came up.

@avclub-dd81450c8861a32004d657e2b04f386d:disqus @avclub-615a666e6472b587f63193032da45961:disqus This is precisely the criticism of "It Gets Better" I've heard from some of my queer activist friends. That it's far too passive a message, that for many it doesn't "get" better and it's incumbent on us to make it better.…

He believes in it for older bisexuals (y'know, those who've sufficiently "proved" it to him like that should be a fucking benchmark). He continues to tell young teens and 20 somethings, "Come back to me in 10 years." And he hides behind statistics like percentages of young bisexuals who wind up in opposite sex…

I'm pretty tired of going through the rigamarole of debating how harmful Dan Savage can be as such a prominent LGBT spokesperson (and others here are doing a more commendable job than I would anyway), but can someone point to me where he's  unequivocally  apologized for his attitudes? Because I've seen a lot of…

That's mashugana.

She wrote the movie Cocoon!
