Drew Toal gets it. The New Order continues to rattle around in my brain - it was such a perfect game. Great writing, tight gameplay, enough exploration to keep things interesting but still small enough to stay focused. And it made a character called BJ Blascowicz into one of the best-written of the year. Which seems

I'm waiting to get a PS4 before I play it again, just because the PS3 version is so heinously ugly as to be distracting.

I . . . uh . . . grapefruit . . .

I'm glad that someone on here is talking about this. So far, the only character that I'm not liking is Solas (who seems impossibly dull and dreary, and constantly gives me back-sass,)

The final seven minutes or so are entertaining enough, as they're just Varrick babbling. The first fifteen minutes are dire, though. A solid ten minutes is just Mako explaining his love triangle with Asami and Korra. It's a second-hand retelling of the absolute worst element of the show.

LEGEND OF KORRA SPOILER ALERT

This was cute, and ya'll are all butts.

Season 3: Consistently fantastic throughout its entire run.

And like I said: "I think this character is kind of whiny and unlikeable, therefore I have no sympathy for this heinous thing that happened to them or patience for the time it takes them to recover from said heinous thing." <- Not very good at sympathy.

I don't think you're very good at 'sympathy'.

You can't sympathize with a teenager who was bound, poisoned, and beaten by a man twice her age - leaving her with physical damage that took her three years to recover from?

If it does, it won't be Whedon's fault. He's only directing the second one. Now, if the second one is utter shit . . .

Disagree. Korra can't beat Kuvira (right now) not because she isn't powerful physically, but because she's still largely broken spiritually. It gives that plotline gravitas that Korra can't just go into the Avatar State and win not because Kuvira is stronger than her, but because she herself is still recovering

I hope this season will address why they continue to speak to each other, when every interaction between them in the past two seasons has seemed to suggest that they really, really shouldn't.

Heh. Pine. I see what you did there.

Help, AVclub. Those pictures of Zach Galifianakis at the Birdman premiere are all over Facebook. I have now felt uncomfortable sexy feelings for both Zach Galifianakis and Seth Rogan in the span of, like, a week. And no amount of liquor and pictures of Chris Pratt are helping me feel better about myself.

That movie will end with a vicious knife fight between Margot and Amy. Nick will be killed in the second act. Margot will walk into the sunset holding Nick's child, before we cut to a shot of Amy's bloody hand reaching out from the surface of the lake.

I mean, isn't he though? It seemed pretty explicit to me that he was holding her hostage. He repeatedly rubs it in her face that he's got her on-camera - so that if she tries to leave or disobey him, he can out her to the whole country as a liar.

I'd have to disagree. Sure, for modern audiences - we understand what PTSD is, and how it works and how to help people who suffer from it, to a degree.

So, what's the verdict folks? Is "Korra Alone" better than "Zuko Alone"? Considering that was one of my very favorite episodes of the original series . . . I'm still inclined to say yes. Hot damn, has this show gotten phenomenal.
