Wouldn't the natural extension of Chantal Kreviazuk be Our Lady Peace?

It sounds like you just value certain things in AD that Community isn't really interested in doing.  The point of the emotional endings of Community is that these people have value to each other, not that they're genuinely good people.  The show never makes the case that they're good to the outside world, in fact,…

Did all of those mommas he's fucked even give their consent?  Maybe he's been making rape analogies this entire time, and we just never realized it.

Personally, I'm good with any season of any show that gives me a Hugo-award winning episode.

I don't get why people are so uppity over what someone says on their drunken podcast.  These aren't public broadcasts, this is him spouting off to a small room and then posting it to the internet.  You actively need to go out of your way to hear these things.

This is a great comment.

I thought this was a brilliant way to go out.  There's a special kind of irony in ending a historical drama at the zenith of the characters' power, when the audience knows full well that the story continues in a far less triumphant manner for the Borgias.

Pattern alcohol and drug abuse, which is what Alison does, is indeed considered a mental illness.  In order to emphasize this, the DSM-V is likely going to combine "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" into a single psychiatric classification.

Thanks for answering!

That's a completely different context, where the heckling becomes "extra man"-style supporting.

It means he respects his directing ability, but not his ability to make ethical choices (re: choosing to direct Charlie).

Characterizing them in the original wouldn't help.  They needed to be "generic children + trope" to properly evoke the dark fairytale tone of the story.

He can have my tax-dollars any day!

@avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus , do you have any opinion on/experience with the Banff World Media festival (formally the Banff World Television festival?)  I don't know much about it, but from media coverage, I guess it focuses on international collaboration and industry-oriented perspectives… I'd…

The Patent means that the contracts weren't in good faith and that Neolution views the clones as property, not that Neolution can claim the clones in a court of law.

Keep in mind that Alison was already shown to be mentally ill (abusing pills and alcohol), and also that she didn't realize that Aynsley was actually dead (she touches her and asks "Aynsley?" after she stops moving.) From her perspective, she was essentially allowing something "ambiguously violent" to happen to the…

That's ridiculous.  Being yelled at during a retail job or by a boss is consistently seen as a bad thing.  Your attitude of "this is common in comedy, so the comedian has "like" is an argument for the status quo because it's the status quo. There's no actual reason given.

In what world is not wanting to be heckled a "special class".  That's literally a privilege 99.999% of the world's population enjoys. The only exceptions are Kabuki artists, parliamentarians, and comedians, and it's part of the tradition for the former two.  Patton just wants comedians to get the courtesy most of us…

Agreed.  "Rape culture" is a neologism, and a rather nebulous one at that. Just like commercial brands have to educate the consumer as to what they're about, novel social descriptions like "rape culture" also need describing to be fully understood.

I also immediately thought of The Bugle during that sketch.  I really hope we see more.
