Very disturbing. Not just because children won't have time to qualify, but because many people won't have the chance to "End slavery" or "Raise $60 billion for charity" or any of the other super-deeds required to make it in.

The sign on the hospital said "Sydney Central" (not a real hospital, but hey it's a fictional show) so yes it's meant to be Australia, but boot bro's accent was a New Zealand accent. Or else he's an American doing a really bad Australian accent.

Yes, you wouldn't get very far in Australia speaking only French. And I should know (living in Sydney). However, the Bootbro guy had a New Zealand accent - although obviously there are some New Zealanders living in Australia. Just something I noticed.

I give the episode an A, and the decision to stop covering it an F. Honestly, AV Club, if you are going to stop covering this, I won't bother coming to the site anymore. Game of Thrones finishes next week, until next year, and you've stopped covering everything else I care about, so it'll be hasta la vista after…

Well, actually the first episode ended with a small child being pushed from a high window after watching some Lannister incest.

I'm not sure if you're kidding, (this being the internet and all), but "Love For Tender" and "Love Me Tender" are completely different songs. This Elvis Costello guy has about 30 albums of self-composed material, as opposed to that other dead Elvis who barely wrote a lick.

Whatever gives you Lupustules.

I was expecting something to get busted when I clicked on that link, but I wasn't expecting *that*!

Live and Let Die? That was the one with the theme song written by Paul McCartney, who was a member of … oh yeah, the Beatles. James Bond theme songs written by members of the Stones: 0

Elvis Costello saw what you did there…

@avclub-b476828992f393a09339cf6270d30aa8:disqus it'll be even more stuck in your head when you imagine it as "Oops, I fisted again".

Congratulations, the AV Club has officially given this album its worst rating.  (It's 79 at Metacritic, in case you're wondering):

I knew a French woman.  Let's just say I knew her well enough to know she was shaved … everywhere.

Exactly the same way that Allen Toussaint and the Specials and Afrodiziak and Jimmy Cliff and all the other black artists who Costello has worked with over the years felt, I suppose. (Can't rightly call them all "African-American" since some of them were British).

When Elvis was an angry young man what people used to say  was "I don't like punk music, but I do like Elvis Costello".

@avclub-501c54d131c3b93043a744af0c259c58:disqus The old dude definitely needed the Savage Dik Sheath.   But, at least he inserted the fork using the, erm, less pointy end - otherwise the headline would have read "Stick a fork in it, it's done".

The A.V. Club

@avclub-8e3d05b3a02cebcb45d304a5224a6113:disqus I'll make a booking for him at the clinic then.  He's probably been wondering why it hurts when he pees.

For NSW I'd like to nominate "Blow Up The Pokies", The Whitlams.

Ah … Scream, yes - "Hello Sidney".  Well played indeed.  Anyway, it's a big city, I'm sure they've got something going on!
