Is this the beginning of a Steve Jobs backlash? And does this mean it's now okay for me to stop throwing my paycheck at overpriced electronics every couple of years?

I've only been watching this show so that I could see Robin's conception, so thanks, Fox!

I always thought that Luther was the version of Dexter that was actually enjoyable. There's nothing subtle or intellectual about Luther. But it was trashy, dumb, fun in a way that most Showtime shows haven't been able to be.

Shut your mouth!

For the most part they flagrantly violate the law, but Uber screams the words "innovation" and "disruption" enough so that local governments are cowed into allowing them to operate. They also have billions of dollars from investors that they can play around with, so at this point they can pretty much push around

There was definitely an uptick in quality in Dexter's fourth season, thanks in large part to John Lithgow's performance. It was a fun cat and mouse serial killer story line. I wouldn't go so far as to call it one of the best seasons of any drama over the past ten years, but it was enjoyable in a way that Dexter would

Every Showtime series that has been hyped has been terrible. Even Dexter's first two season are kind of crappy. Sure there are interesting possibilities in its premise, and you can see the show try to reach for those ideas, but the writers were just do damn stupid to make it happen. Homeland's first season was also

Not to downplay the tragedy of what happened, but as an American, what strikes me as odd about the Jimmy Savile scandal is how much the man looked the part of a pedophile. I mean, if you had a hundred people come together and have a composite artist draw what they imagine a pedophile would look like, it would end up

It's sad to see an entertainer I really loved as a kid fall like this. But it's even sadder that these women who he victimized were ignored for all these years. I see this entire tangled incident as an example of ways in which women's voices are ignored, even when it comes to something like rape (maybe especially

You put some weird dots on top of that dude's name.

On the one hand, Grohl is defending a new business model brought on by the internet, so he's kind of cutting edge. But on the other hand he's talking about playing in punk bands "back in the day," so he's kind of an old man. Stop confusing me, Dave Grohl!!!

Wait, you're Mark Wahlberg's son? Now that's a twist!

Does…not…compute.

I don't know. I've heard that in certain parts of the world there are plenty of Jesuses.

AV Club is going to wait three years and then drop a surprise Azealia Banks review out of nowhere.

There is Nothing Left to Lose was the sound of the Foo Fighters purposefully tweaking their sound, which they haven't really been able to accomplish since. On that album they seem to have been going for a dreamier aura, and it worked out really well for them. It's a forgotten album, but I agree that it's their last

He's not wrong. Winston has some great lines, and he's a great blue collar character who adds an interesting dynamic to the group. If they were smart, they could have even explored the fact that he's coming at the paranormal from a completely different perspective in Ghostbusters II. But he absolutely added

But now how is middle America supposed to understand how politics work?

That line about the Dad Avengers making dumb jokes to waitresses was pretty damn funny. I don't care what they say about you, Sam Barsanti. You're all right.

If we're speculating on the final value of Jared Leto's potential portrayal of the Joker, then you can be sure I'm selling short my LETOJKR stock right now.
