Fair enough. I meant it is a genuine question, because I've also seen lots of people describing Beyoncé as the "Queen of Pop" (which also seems like a bit much). Wondered if there was something I was missing.

Is it really accurate to call her the "biggest pop artist in the world"? Taylor Swift's last two records sold twice as many copies as Beyoncé's last two records. I'm not going to die on the hill that T. Swift is better than Beyoncé, but isn't she "bigger"? Lady Gaga's also had more album sales of late. And if you…

So what I think you're telling me is, Trystane was on the boat with Jaime and Myrcella, where Myrcella died at the end of last season. This is not something I remembered.

How about "This is stupid", "Joe Blevins completely oversold a GJI - again", and "seriously, there must be cooler stuff on the internet than this" - are those also acceptable reactions?

No, of course not. Just better than his copy editor.

Ah, clever. My money's on that soldier being the dogs' next meal.

7.5 million people isn't quite "the rest of America" (it's almost half of what the show was getting in its prime), but it's much more than 1.5 million people watching the Grinder. Which is really just criminal. I hope one of the streaming services picks the show up if it's dropped by Fox. The show is perfect for…

What boat are they on, anyways? That must be something from the end of last season that I've just totally forgotten.

I realized this after I watched the episode, but haven't gone back to watch the scene to see if they show what happens to the dogs, or if they just straight up vanish. The explanation is pretty obviously that they didn't want to show our heroes killing dogs.

"They" is a plural pronoun. "How did they he or she die"

It's easy to forget because it was so long ago, but I think the first season of Modern Family was just as good as the first season of Grinder has been (at least for its time - some of what they did that was innovative and different isn't anymore). I am completely off the MF bandwagon and have been for years, but when…

Oh lord, now we'll really be scraping the bottom of the barrel with skits that make the cut. I'm sure some weeks we'll have three musical guest appearances. And maybe instead of the "wave goodbye" being a credits stinger, it will now be an 8 minute segment where everyone just keeps talking and waving, for minutes on…

My comment includes Rory, technically. It's a compliment, really.

The show has been hugely unrewarding for anyone invested in those relationships (Fitz and Simmons are on the right track now, but that's a pretty new development, and it's consumed like 8 minutes of the entire season). To say that the only reason people would like this show is because they're really into the…

The people who think SHIELD has gotten better aren't "watching superhero stuff just for the shipping". The only relationship between main characters on that show is Daisy and Lincoln, and the people who like the show like it in spite of that relationship (plenty of AV Club commenters following the show are hoping…

I'd forgotten about her. They didn't dangle her as the next companion in the same way they did with Victorian Clara (giving her the key and everything … ugh, it still breaks my heart), but she was awesome. Really every other Clara was better than permanent Clara.

I don't think anybody would count River as a companion.

Yeah, it makes zero sense that they'd already be filming now, when the Christmas special (which Bill might not even be in) doesn't come out for 8 months, and the new season is a year out. I'm pretty sure they just filmed this to announce the new companion. They were probably filming stuff like this anyways just to…

British police moonlight on the California Highway Patrol?

I'm still bummed they killed off Victorian era Clara. Modern day Clara eventually won me over, but Victorian Clara had me at hello.
