There was a recent AV Q&A where you could make "one wish" to change TV. Mine would be that The Lost Room got a full commit and maintained its superb and engrossing run.

Oliver, I love your reviews and I love B:tAS with all my heart. But please, never say:

Creating a lovable monster.
The thing I love most about "Tyger, Tyger" is the homoerotics. I think it even accounts for Oliver's observation that the transformed Selena is so passive: she's basically the woman in the homoerotic triangle.

I'll clarify: the A.V. Club is fearless—they'll review what might have impact, even if its far, far beyond the usual, the mainstream, the relentlessly marketed.

Please keep going!
