Surprisingly, today's youth are not consumed by ennui relating to how easy it is for them to access pornography.

It's a writers' issue, without a doubt. Scenes like the one between Melissa and Faye near the end of last night's episode are just enough to keep me watching; their scene was a believable evocation of a long-standing "friendship" between a doormat enabler and a narcissistic abuser, pushed close to a breaking point by…

That movie taught me that Hell is an actualization of the paradox of Opposite Day.

It's a great time to ask for help. The question is whether it wouldn't have been a far better and more character-consistent decision to tattle to her grandmother immediately, potentially heading off a lot of dangerous situations at the pass, including releasing the demon in the first place. Cassie repeatedly and…

Proposed alternatives to Diane's Big Ideas Breakup Speech:

Miracle Max would humbly suggest that the return of three all-dead characters bodes well for one that's only mostly dead.

Actually, I'd suggest that a character becoming wholly defined by her powers is a surprisingly rich vein, and when combined with an inculcation angle it can become the beginning of a truly powerful arc. And, as a bonus, it makes sense: someone who wants to educate/persuade a new Jedi or witch or whatever has a vested…

So, topic for discussion:

When a television show only takes 5-10 minutes to insert the snarky comment that I myself was making about it in my mind (in this instance, the Buffy reference,) it is a delightful show indeed.

Some people say the same thing about the Big Bang.

I have never, and will never, defend Harry Potter's "magic." It's a collection of hokey jokes that's still far less than the sum of its parts.

I'm willing to give a 30 minute comedy significantly more rope than I'd offer a drama, or any show where serialized plot elements are supposed to be at the forefront. And since this one is dealing with satire/caricature, I'm inclined to give it even a bit more leeway than I'd give a Seinfeld or Friends clone.

And even then, calling it a "fight" is a little generous. More like a lucky crit during the surprise round.

This show depresses the hell out of me, and for none of the reasons the writers intend. It depresses me because, within the Supernatural universe, human reason is of no avail. Induction and deduction are for chumps. Forget creationists and mutant-cow-worshippers; Supernatural should be populated by huge swaths of…

I find your comment to be somewhat orthogonal to my post. Under my suggestion, Stray Observations could, in theory, encompass olfactory responses to the show. Not sure how the reviewer and USA would work that out, but I wouldn't object if they somehow managed it.

I don't want to write another novella-length post about a TV show, but man…

Better question: if you're going to write a grueling, humorless piece about how the whole world is sexist, why wouldn't you try to get some money from Jezebel in the process?

The AV Club should offer to pay him in his choice of regularly-administered Prozac, heroin immediately after each review is posted, or cyanide after his entire sentence is completed.

I am going to make a radical proposal:

Also, "BECAUSE HE GETS RESULTS!…stupid chief."
