I liked this episode a lot. I thought the business drama was done well, and those elements of the plot were advanced in a way that takes most shows the better part of a season to develop. Cardiff was put on the brink of failure already. That's something most shows would wait until the penultimate episode to…

Shit, I was watching this on DVR at like, 1:20 central time, and an actual Emergency Alert System prompt came on during the last commercial break of Elevator 6, complete with knowing that I was in Illinois and had RCN. Only when I got booted from my DVR viewing back to live TV did I realize that it wasn't part of the…

I'd love to hear where exactly you found the sense of obligation.

A lesser show would have turned that into a real guilt trip, but Louie put something in that scene for everyone to relate to.

I'm impressed they did it in a way where I'm guessing 95%+ of the audience didn't notice, but a bleep would have stood out a ton. This scene is going to be all over the blogs tomorrow, and I think the f-bomb will barely get a mention.

So I guess you can say "fucked" in this timeslot on basic cable now. And in the context of sexual intercourse, not just something like "I'm fucked." I didn't catch it until the second viewing. Am I alone in finding this to be maybe a first in basic cable American tv? Maybe others have done it in a way like this…

I'm mostly with you on Legit, but I expected it would improve more this year. I didn't think any episodes this year were nearly as good as "Bag Lady" from S1. I've had a hard time finding the emotion outside of Billy this year.

The discussion is more important the grade. Let AV Club figure out how to integrate a fairly simple widget. The grade thread completely ruins a lot of Community reviews, most weeks. I hate it because I often start with the discussion at night on my PC, sometimes pick it up on my phone in the morning, and then on my…

Would you consider in the future waiting until maybe noon the next morning to do the grade thread? It just gluts up the discussion with a lot of posts with very little content, and this edition of disqus is shitty enough to navigate already.

In season 6 episode "The Crash", Wendy Gleason (hippie girl with the I Ching) reads Don's mind and thinks his question is something to the effect of "Does anyone love me?" I think that informs Don's reaction at the end of the episode quite a bit.

The title is apparently derived from Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, which is kind of a clue where things are going when you get to the group therapy sessions for grieving parents.

The poster is really misleading. There is nothing supernatural at all. The gimmick is a really unconventional narrative.

I watched a screener earlier this week. Pretty insane movie. The protagonist, as seen in the tub in the picture above, has just drowned her friend's young child. The child's father, blasts the protagonist with a shotgun, resulting in the red bathwater. …

Was I the only one who always called Baron Samedi in Goldeneye Papa Shango? I always played as him, to severe strategic disadvantage.

I did find that to be a completely unnecessary sideswipe of Adam, considering he's not in the show. I completely get finding Adam tiresome nowadays, but he never says things just to get a reaction. I think he's generally in the right when blogs take him out of context for some snippets out of the 10+ hours of audio…

Oh, the irony!

This actually sounds like a really good spinoff. I never played XIII, but I loved, loved XII (so much that I'll probably never play it again due to burnout). It sounds like the world-building really has a lot of potential to be done well here. That was probably my favorite part of XII. Ivalice was so wonderful to…

I also lit a fart one time. The Gen X-ers passed around the VHS, from what I heard.

I preferred "Is College Worth It?" where tuition was raised to $500,000 a semester and staff salaries are dropped to minimum wage.  The ramifications are taken to such extremes, (like you can't imagine) but it only feels just satirical enough (never preachy) and it never gets bogged down in non-sequiturs or C or D…

Speaking of cartoons, for the love of god, AV Club, cover China, IL!  The new 30 minute format has improved the show dramatically.
