Your point about Once Upon a Time is interesting.  I think you're right in that there's only so many places it can go.

I normally do let it slide on by, but as an episode focused on a game studio, this episode had a larger amount of moments like that than the show usually does.

This episode showcases everything wrong with TV's portrayal of gaming culture.  The whole hacking looks like the Matrix aspect, the bit about the game's code being able to circumvent the limitations of physical hardware, how anybody on TV that games is somehow socially inept and/or a super hacker, how the terminology

The numbers will never be "right" for companies like Time Warner and Comcast and Rogers and AT&T.  They will never be right because as you mentioned above, they are cable companies and they have a vested interest in making sure the Internet NEVER becomes the standard for content distribution.  This is why they spend

I keep reading the reviews expecting to see, "And this is the end of our regular coverage on this show."

I'm not asking you to sob for me.  I am a thief.  What I do is illegal.  I have no illusions about it.  All I'm saying is that I would stop stealing HBO's content if they joined the Internet in the 21st century.

I would pay the entrance fee if the entrance fee were reasonable.  As it stands, in order to legally watch Game of Thrones I have to

As somebody who plays games every day of his life, I would like to thank you for encouraging Microsoft to continually water down the gaming experience on the Xbox.  Nothing says "video games console" like a supreme focus on everything but the actual video games.

The CGI doesn't actually bother me, I just found his suggestion to watch the show on a smaller screen to be ludicrous.

This is 2013.  I shouldn't have to watch your show on a smaller TV to make your CGI not look like crap.

That monologue would single-handedly make the Emmy's relevant.

I'm actually a huge Houston Astros fan, I just don't feel the need to watch stuff live.  If I want to watch a baseball game live, I buy tickets and actually go and watch it live.  Watching a game on TV is not watching it live.  It's a pale shadow of watching it live.  It's cheating.

This is so not true.  The Pirate Bay even had a special category for the Olympics last year.  Pretty much every event was covered.

A better title for this article would have been, "HBO Finally Realizing That Cable Is Dead" because that's essentially what this boils down to.  The sooner cable companies start to accept that their industry is obsolete, the sooner we can stop having to put up with all of these draconian streaming requirements that

I don't know if this is universally true.  I hardly gave a crap when my biological father died, but then again, he essentially pretended I didn't exist from about two onwards.  Had my mother not told me he was a living, breathing person somewhere, I would have just continued on believing I was a bastard until I was

Yeah, and the science was hardly the point of Fringe anyway.

It's the same Disqus layout used on pretty much every other site that uses it now. Honestly, the AV Club was the only website I had encountered that wasn't using it.

Two episodes in a row where Raylan draws down on somebody.  Maybe I'm just a bit messed in the head, but I literally exclaimed for joy both times.

I just wanted to thank you for your post.  As a member of the LDS Church, it's frustrating at times to see how often the mainstream organization gets lumped together with the fundamentalist offshoots.  It's heartening to know that there are people out there that know and are willing to communicate the difference.

I'm not typically an advocate for the use of marijuana, but in your case, I have to make an exception.  You could stand to smoke a bowl and chill.
