No! You should at least watch Asylum. Where this season keeps promising and then not delivering, Asylum is a continuous pleasant surprise.

…wait, when people say that Looking is a boring representation of gay men on television, is this their counterpoint? No. No.

I'm disappointed with the character too, but I'd rather blame the writing than the performance. The moments when Queenie's actually had something to do and a defined point of view, she's been quite good. She just seems as confused by most of the writing as we are, I think. (That, I think, explains why they didn't just…

I'm not sure if Marie Laveau's final fate was a good idea that just wasn't supported by the rest of the season or phenomenally shitty in and of itself, so maybe it's for the best that the whole thing was just vague. Her outburst about not wanting to do this to Borquita had the outline of something interesting though.

God help me, I actually liked the final scene between Queenie and LaLaurie. Sure, it was from some alternate version of Coven where that storyline was about Queenie rather than LaLaurie and the whole thing seems to have gone through some kind of second draft, but I think I would have quite enjoyed that Coven.

Her scene was my favorite of the episode.

Seconded on Jessica Jones working better with a season of her own (man, Alias/The Pulse has needed to be a television show for a while now. Good on Marvel for not giving up on the character). However, I'm cool with Luke Cage and Iron Fist in separate shows, as they wouldn't really be able to adapt the…

I'd say that's true of Murderhouse. Asylum upped the ante on actual quality just enough that it crossed the line to "good" for me, and Coven seems like it's keeping that up so far. Could still go spectacularly off the rails, though.

The metafiction of Final Crisis gives a good stopping point to DC's story—just consider that Superman wished a happy ending for the world and nothing afterward ever happened. It's clear none of DC's editorial staff read that story anyways.

Nah, X-Factor's cross-overs were usually rather mild and would only include one X-Factor-relevant plot point that David was probably planning on making happen anyway. That series was cancelled due to his health, and is probably rebooting under his pen later this year.

When did the big two turn into Goofus and Gallant? Is Marvel actually as good as it seems right now, or is DC just that bad?

The opening credits were scarier than the episodes themselves ever were. That montage was goddamn terrifying to my preteen self.

Didn't the girl's dad teach him to play catch or something?

I remember the one with the immortal kid running the bed and breakfast! All la-di-da standard sci-fi villain plot, down to the fact that he could be stealing a relatively benign amount, like five years or something.

Somehow I had in my head that they'd already announced who was playing Rocket Raccoon, and that it was H. Jon Benjamin.

Well, at least now if he's a dirty cop we'll get a chance to properly hate on that fuckwad Posthumous, and we'll get to see Shakespeare's version of the One Good Cop Brought Out Of Retirement For One Last Fight.

First off, the "objectification" in question is in Gillen/McKelvie pages in which Noh-Varr, the "hot alien boy" in question (I think that's how Kate describes him in the first issue), is simultaneously presented as many things, only one of which is sexy; he's also dorky, sincere, weird in a specific way, bad-ass, and…

Completely, wildly, un-apologetically disagree with your last paragraph. Reparations do not a double standard make, and we do not live in a gender-equal society. Check your privilege.

Yes

But let's be honest, there's no better girlfriend to push a latent bisexual teen into trying guys for a while than Surge. Christ, that girl.
