A similar situation happened to Rick and Morty this past season. It got especially intense over on Reddit, where any episode that didn't meet their specific standards of what Rick and Morty should be was declared The Shittiest Episode of Television Ever. That's not even hyperbole, I literally saw a commenter claim…

I understand watching something you dislike if it's ubiquitous enough on social media (see: True Detective), but who's talking about The Leftovers?

"I guess you people will eat up this nonsense with a spoon." I mean yeah, is it so odd that the people who have enjoyed this series so far would also enjoy an episode that leans fully into the more supernatural elements of the show? I can understand not liking this episode in particular or the show as a whole, but is…

I think those meta lines do an efficient job of establishng Patti as an entity that exists outside of the world of the main characters, whether as a supernatural being or a part of Kevin's psyche. Obviously your enjoyment of those jokes is a matter of personal taste but Ann Dowd can sell just about any line to me.

I think it was just simple lampshading/meta humor along the lines of Patti's earlier comment about whether this was the Garveys' story or the Murphys'.

I think this was exactly how this kind of cliffhanger should be executed. The idea that Kevin would need to decide whether to go through with killing himself was planted early in the episode, he resisted for most of the episode, and then eventually chose to go through with it. The twist of Virgil emptying out the…

Same story here, I watched all 6 movies in release order over the summer and loved the original trilogy. I went into the prequels with a "They can't be THAT bad!" attitude and lost all optimism around the third time I had to hear "Yippee!"

The worst crime of this article is the misattribution of "How rude!" to the Olsen twins.

Master of None, because You're the Worst isn't funny.

I thought it was funny that D'Angelo chose this scene, because this was probably my least favorite scene of the movie in terms of cinematography. There's a point where the camera does a full 360 twice but we don't get any new information from that circling, so it just feels like the operator is spinning around in the…

Tomayto, tomahto. Dodd hates all things feminine, and it's safe to assume that includes gay men in his mind.

The most fascinating aspect of their encounter to me was Dodd's reaction to Lou's "girl at the dance" metaphor. I read his shock and anger as a response to not only a strange police officer trying to intimidate him, but also the fact that this man had no problem referring to himself as a girl. Dodd has been pretty…

"Post-Mr. Robot era" is probably one of the funnier things I've read in recent memory.

The internet's hatred of Lindelof and its blind love of Game of Thrones finally come into conflict with each other. The unstoppable force and the immovable object.

See, the beauty of this show is that it's already pulled stunts (often multiple times in a single episode) that would constitute "jumping the shark" on your average television series.

That's insane, you love True Detective! You've seen all two seasons!

The anthology series will survive no matter how much people dislike True Detective. This isn't about "winning" or "losing," it's about not granting free passes to shows just because you want the model it's operating on to succeed.

The treatment of women this season has absolutely been awful, but I'm not sure how that cancels out my argument.
We live in a society that assumes that everyone is straight until proven otherwise. Believe me, if I had my way, we wouldn't live in a heteronormative society, but as a gay man it really isn't up to me or…

Withholding criticism would lead to the conclusion that something is perfect just the way it is, wouldn't it?

Burris referred to him as a f*g, everybody seems convinced that his mother was homophobic, and he has a pregnant fiance who would presumably not be very happy to learn that the man she loves is gay. His coming out would absolutely have consequences. The show wants us to believe that it's his own fault for not…
