I'm finding the answer to GUOB pretty damn confusing. Sure, 'sex stuff with other people' is a fairly standard Savage Solution, but… I can't see anything in the letter which actually indicates an openness to that.

I might have to watch this one again at some point. I found it pretty terrible, really- sure, I got that it was doing a nice, rambling character study/comedy thing, and that it would resolve into some kind of mystery at some point, but I just couldn't care enough about these characters to enjoy them buddying around…

"When he carves off a chunk of his leg and feeds it to Jo, is this an
offering of transubstantiation, or just another of the filmmaker’s
taboo-pushing stunts?"

I immediately thought of… Low. Low, low, low.

I like R.E.M., but I'm not a fan of these 'who are you to criticise R.E.M.? You're not even famous!' responses. Nothin' wrong with anyone criticising anyone… if you had to prove you could do it better/more successfully to comment, the whole notion of criticism would fall apart and, for example, only a very select…

On flickr? Aaaaargh. Anyone else found that that site has become virtually unusable since they redesigned it? Giant freaking images that take forever to load.

But they got great again! Out of Time's variable, but after it you have Automatic, Monster, New Adventures, and Up. Not quite as good as their 80s heyday, but a series of damn fine albums (personally I like Reveal too, but like Out of Time it's inconsistent), and I can't think of anything on any of them that sounds…

Maaaaaan, I don't really get R.E.M. hate. You can justifiably point to this song and Stand as being annoying, but 'cheery catchy pop songs' doesn't really describe more than a handful of their stuff. Then there was Everybody Hurts, but again, 'heartfelt balladeering' isn't even close to their default mode. Plus…

I always think of King Of Birds. But then there's Country Feedback (live versions, not the album one)… and a whole lot of other ones.

This is the best example of Poe's Law I've seen in… some time.

A bannable offence?

Thanks for running this, AV Club, I missed it the first time and would probably have forgotten about it.

That was glorious. My only issue with it was that it seemed to make it too obvious that this was a future incarnation- but then Tom delivered that '…or perhaps it doesn't really matter' line with such alien weirdness that even Matt Smith's doctor looked confused, and it all became mysterious again. Tom really owned…

I think it says a lot that despite excellent work from Tennant and Smith, the presence of John Freakin' Hurt, and the Glorious Return of Tom Baker, Capaldi's Mad Eyes were still in the running for MVP.

I legitimately properly laughed. Excellently played. Also google tells me this is original, so make that admiring laughter.

I would love all of these. Also, thinking seriously, the ability to search through comments would be really helpful and go some of the way to making up for the appalling 'load more comments' thing.

Being reminded that a porn site exists called suicidegirls always baffles me and/or leaves a very slight impression that I'm living in a techno-media-dystopia in which perversity is king and nothing is shocking or sacred.

Yeah, I've started using that now too. Of course, this plus the lack of page numbers for comments means that gems in the middle of the pack are destined to languish forever or until I have a billion hours to spend repeatedly pressing 'load more comments' like an idiot.

Thanks guys! And with 'all shows' back and user grades returning, put me down as a liker. I like white space.

Oh God, it would probably have insipid landscape paintings in the background eating up bandwidth and making the text illegible.
