@avclub-c01431c2e06ee8eaf5de2e9c9e05b9b8:disqus Uh, the thermal exhaust port WAS ray shielded. That's why they had to use proton torpedoes. Yeesh. Am I the only one who paid attention to the briefing?

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus You mean the Low-Cal Calzone Zone?

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

It looks like you're changing your position here, TVDW. In the article you said that the killing was shocking for shock's sake. Now you're saying it was necessary for driving a wedge between Walt and Jesse - which isn't just shock for shock's sake!

I'll join the pile-on, with my own take. What made the kid-killing so effective was everything that happened after the kid-killing. In the episode in which it occurred, it was just a bit of violence for pure shock value, after all, it wasn't WALTER who shot the kid. Maybe you want to have some discussion about what it…

Seconded, @avclub-912b24a9ce5d432de1e518c3415a657c:disqus ! I mean, Jesus, that's a naked lady right there. She's got a few extra pounds, but it's not gross. I've seen worse. Hell, I've DATED worse. Of COURSE, thinner, more conventionally attractive women are more appealing to look at. But where the fuck does this…

See, I don't know how Community could replace Chevy Chase with anyone else. Recasting a role is SUCH a "thing that happens in popular entertainment" that it's something the show (almost certainly in the form of Abed) would HAVE to comment on. Like, I can't even conceive of the show existing and not commenting on a…

Big Tim, the human piece of toast.

I thought the deep south did Mr. Pibb?

See, I'm not sold on this being the end of Ted-Barney-Robin. Here's my Grand Theory of the Show: The show is and always has been about that love triangle, specifically the Ted-Robin side. It's called How I Met Your Mother because it's not about The Mother; it's about Ted finally getting over Robin so he gets to a…

That's my thought, too. Dexter, as he was introduced in the first season, is just an evil serial killer with a fetish for killing other serial killers. Over the course of the show, Dexter has built up a huge mountain of rationalization on top of that fact (fun fact: the phrase "Dark Passenger" is never uttered in…

RIP, Mitch.

It's not too hard to think one writes as WELL as her.
