It's a shame that the first season handled its resolutions so lazily and just dropped the character arc for Korra that it was building up, but we ought to leave those issues behind for the time being, since they at least seem to be course-correcting by setting that arc up anew and showing the consequences of the first…

Ah, Kuruk. So negligent that he even managed to piss off the ultimate neutral party, Koh.

@Charlotte Grote Exactly. Aang's experience with having parental figures is limited to Gyatso being a surrogate father, who did play favourites with Aang over the other pupils.

I'm scared that I actually, at least technically agree with Conley on something. I would much rather have seen whatever AI that Kubrick would've wound up making.

The X Files is definitely a failure of mythology and serialization in hindsight, but I can still appreciate the ambition. DS9 and Babylon 5 are both wonderful and were far better in that field, yes.

Call me the product of a different era, but this is an attitude that is incredibly difficult to understand. Does the episodic format have its place? Absolutely. However, I consider it to have been a large part of what dragged down the quality (well, my perceptions of the quality) of the previous decades of television,…

It's in direct mockery of Montypark's "dark, meandering, and thoroughly unpleasant" remark, so I'd say yes, it is. No disrespect meant to you or Monty, although I do agree with you/Monkey.

WE CAN LIKE AGAIN! HALLELUJAH!

George RR Martin first began writing his review of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in novel form, in the year 2013, having grown frustrated with the difficulties of writing reviews for television, on television. It was originally intended to be a three-part saga, but upon the publication of its first entry in 2018, he realized…

It really is a nice feeling. I'm a more recently-joining member of The AVC (don't call it that) and have a decent amount of friends amongst the regulars, but I'm sure I haven't actually made any impact. I haven't been around long enough and lack the skills required to be anywhere near as awesome as any of the people I…

Please tell me Lance Reddick treats Samberg like McNulty in this hypothetical scenario.

I'd still support/prefer to yours the idea that the commentariat had back in March, of Sally and Roger driving around solving mysteries with the ghost of Ida Blankenship possessing the car. Stan and Ginsberg are fine characters, but *come on*.

Wasn't the Dolphin episode a parody, though? At least, like most of their stories even from the good years, it was based on something, if I recall correctly.

What a bunch of clowns!

Rome has always sounded way too much like Showtime's Very Loosely Based on History dramas like The Tudors and The Borgias. And you liked The Borgias, which is fine, so I get the appeal for you.

People on here seem to love that show (and Rome) a lot more than anyone I physically know does. My brother and his girlfriend both watched Big Love, liked it well enough and never thought it was great, and consider it to have majorly downturned by the last couple seasons.

OH GODDAMNIT, WHY DID I CLICK ON THAT LINK?! I knew exactly what to expect, and it just hurt so much to see those comments. Of course you were right. Damn my optimism.

Liked for the joke, although I was fairly impressed by Hit and Miss going by its first episode. I should get back to that sometime, but Mad Men is first. And then Orange is the New Black. And then maybe Rectify. Ah, forget the whole thing.

I'd put Tarrlok around the same level as those two (honestly ahead of both, Lin because they fucked up her heroic sacrifice and Asami because of how generally neglected she was by the story) but you are absolutely right.

*Chuckles* My apologies.
