Having a partner who used to be a childhood friend isn't really a conflict. The fact that the friend got kidnapped, wasn't heard from for 25 years, and then had her memory wiped and whole body tattooed in cryptic messages, then was dumped naked in times square in a duffel bag, is… atypical. But not really a conflict.…

Just the scene at the very beginning, I'm pretty sure.

It was much too long ago for me to really remember, but now that you mention it, I think you're absolutely right.

What I thought was interesting was that they wore masks to rob a jewelry store, but decided to be un-disguised when it came time to raid a hospital at gunpoint and murder a police officer.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste (who is English) needs to work on her uneven New York accent. Or better yet, just drop it altogether (rather than every other sentence). She's the only person on the show with an accent.

My favourite part of the repeated demands that she stay in the car (at least once in every episode to date) is that she never once stayed in the car. Yet it's always a shock to everyone that she left the car.

If it was Jayden Smith in an Independence Day TV show, I'd agree that's what's going on. But this guy's a legitimate actor, and his familial relationship with Tom Cruise is not exactly common knowledge.

I think I'm one more boring episode away from bailing on this show.

Best not to think about this kind of thing too much, I think. E.g. why do they never see any dead human bodies? Why wasn't there any looting? Any attempts to put up quarantines? Just don't think about it. It's a comedy.

The evidence showed that some of them might have been deflated. We'll see what the data they're collecting this year on PSI in balls after games says about that. The evidence didn't show that Brady had anything to do with it, or had any reason to know anything about it, other than the supposition that "well, he's the…

Right, so we're going to prefer the evidence of the guy carrying the balls with him while he went pee (it was a bathroom, not a "storage room" - sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one) to prove that the balls were deflated, rather than, you know, the gauge measurements. I'm not saying there isn't some…

Tom didn't "wiggle out" of anything. Goodell the Iron Fisted Disciplinarian shit the bed. It wasn't that hard to run an appeals process that at least looked fair, and he didn't.

The Steelers have had a talented roster throughout Tomlin's tenure, including (most importantly) a capable quarterback. They draft as well as any team in the league. They have good ownership, and a culture of success that goes back decades. Which is all to say I wouldn't give Tomlin the credit.

I know, a tv critic who's critical of the thing their critiquing. I demand that someone fix this immediately!

I think you forget that the infrastructure for cable TV is the same as the infrastructure for internet. Netflix doesn't have to pay for maintaining the last few miles of that infrastructure, but the end-user still does. The difference is that instead of paying the cable company for BOTH content and infrastructure, now…

Give the JW writers credit, they found a way to explain that. There was some exposition early in the movie where they comment that dinosaurs' appearance had been genetically modified to match what people want/expect to see (or something). They didn't specifically refer to the feathers, but it was clearly their way of…

Pretty sure it's a sarcastic comment. It is the AV Club, after all.

Having watched the show, it is without question a POI rip off, I get it now. I just didn't get it all from the description. The key piece that was missing is that they are predicting crimes are going to happen using hocus pocus technology. The "stopping crime" part isn't nearly as unique to POI, and that's all I…

Yes, that too. And maybe, let's say, the holocaust. That was pretty awful. To be honest, I didn't really think it through.

The only thing worse than this being created is this being reposted by the AV Club as a "great job". Scratch that, there is something even worse: me, for clicking on the article.
