I'd like to believe that's not the case, but it's certainly a very fair reading of her in light of where they took her. The main problem is they write her with that "oop, she's two steps ahead" gait (which makes sense considering their timelines), but it does make one wonder if it's two steps ahead like two kids…

I'm happy I'm not alone in feeling Moffat's Who isn't as emotionally rending. The fandom makes endless jokes about "Moffat feasts on your tears" and "Don't cry. If you cry, Moffat wins". But while Davies' Who frequently got me to well up, Moffat's only gotten that out of me a couple times (River and the Doctor's…

This sounds like one big circle jerk of purchase-justification ¡Viva la consumismo!

My friend's been using it when his roommate has his girlfriend over and "uses" the room with the TV in it. (Impressive considering he plays the Vita in his room upstairs while the TV and PS4 are downstairs.) He's a pretty big fan. (Of the cross-controller function, I mean. Probably less of a big fan of what's…

So… is Gameologocial Society part of AV Club again?

It especially pisses me off when it's the butt of the joke. "Oop, not only did this character squander something carelessly, but there will be dire, lasting consequences that would easily be grounds for a lifetime of regret. [laugh track]"

I kinda hope not. I can't think of another family sitcom that's gotten such great laugh, plot and character development returns on the oldest going to college. The faceless constantly-MMOing roommate rings way too true to several of my friends' living arrangements, and still tends to get a chuckle out of me.

Or eviscerating a volleyball?

Wow, that does make much more sense. And is way grosser. Good God, thank you for making that scene even funnier and yet much harder to watch.

That was a stellar Sue-plot. A stellar Sue-development-plot, even (which tend to be my favorites). It was a nice lesson for someone burdened by a total refusal to half-ass anything: it's OK to be apathetic about things sometimes. But the less cynical side of that coin is that effort and enthusiasm pay off if you…

The writers have kind of a dilemma with Sue. I feel like she's a great character from the perspective of everyone who didn't really find their footing in high school. But I also feel like although it's great watching someone so unflappable with so much exuberance about everything, it gets depressing after four years…

As much as I want to agree with the article's assertion that it's best to let the character find their niche organically, they had Frank single out Charlie to spend time/share lifestyles with in DeVito's first episode. I find it amazing that they were able to pair up what would become one of the show's most…

I find it amazing that how she sings now doesn't really take the wind out of the AM! sails at all but it does sound slightly more androgynous, like a 90's contralto female singer-songwriter type of sound.

I had a similar reaction when I heard there'd be plenty of flashback eps before the season started, but let it slide figuring that keeping the season from getting stale was a higher priority than the conceit.

AV Club, I feel like you're trying to trick us into having shipping debates.

I was gonna say, I was pretty sure I'd heard the actual lead singer had made the always-wise decision to start nailing his drummer's sister.

I still have yet to see Black Dynamite just because I missed my RedBox window of opportunity, and my friends and I couldn't find it for digital rental; only sale. I get that the way they're playing it, there isn't one site that has everything; but God, how did no site have it?

What I've seen of the show has pretty much just been gifsets of the sex scenes. My takeaways:

I think that goes back to the "how much less of a man does being gay make you" issue hot on straight (and some queer) people's minds that was addressed earlier. Without having to address that and see everything through that lens, I think the female characters have a lot fewer societal expectations to meet when they…

I'd also say, aside from Captain Jack manifesting the "fucks everything that moves" bisexuality trope, (he's still a fantastic character aside), the Doctor Who reboot's queer representation has been stellar.
