Everytime I see the word "Changing" these days I interpret it as "Chang-ing." DAMMIT, COMMUNITY!

It had its moments. I enjoyed the first half. The second half was painful, though. And the closing ceremony was all about Jeff. Sure, let's forget all about the ensemble on what could very well be the final episode ever! (I'm glad that it's not.)

Agreed. It was both fun and funny at the beginning. But once Jeff discovered the plot, it started sinking fast. The ceremony felt sappy and unearned. Plus, it was all about Jeff and no one else. Come on! And the Chewbacca joke should have been dumped after the table read.

Since that Annie was the Annie in Jeff's head… I guess we have to conclude that his feelings for Annie are really, really messed up. Which is a terrible thing to do to Jeff's character. No doubt the writers were just trying to be funny… yeah, they failed at that, too.

@avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus That wasn't Abed, though. That was the Abed in Jeff's head. Which doesn't make the line any better. Why the hell am I defending this episode?

It had a messy ending and the hulked out dogs were… an odd choice, but I was really enjoying it as a movie until it suddenly flew off the rails. Ang Lee is a drama director. His sensibilities aren't suited for a mainstream comic book movie. But it was a fascinating and ultimately doomed experiment. I find that more…

Really? People care about The Mandarin?

I saw Iron Man 3 too. It's already out in Asia. Loved it. I would even say I like it better than The Avengers (which I do like, but not as rabidly as most of its fans). It's got so many good character moments, small human moments that are undeniably there to get you emotionally invested, but the story execution and…

Robb Stark is basically Jack from LOST. He's the natural (though reluctant) leader, blah blah blah. A trope we've seen a million times.
I did love Ned Stark, and I think that was mostly due to Sean Bean. He brought weight and charisma to a character that could be really tedious (especially on the page, of course YMMV).…

Cersei doesn't have trouble finding someone to fuck her. Robert didn't love her or respect her. Neither will Loras. Even Cersei really just wants to be loved… by her father, her husband, her children. Unfortunately, she is Cersei.

Why single them out? A lot of characters were in the wrong this episode. Dawn helped Scarlett slack on office time. Don and Pete screwed Ken and his client. Kate is cheating on Mary Kay with Avon. Roger and Bert crap on Harry, and basically screw Joan by withholding their support of her (maybe not wrong exactly, but…

It's beautiful. People say it's hard to watch, but that's not how I'd put it. It's more of an experience than a film. It's intense, it's emotionally harrowing at times, and by the end, you are nearly overwhelmed by the oppressive weight of doom and fate. And then it ends, and it's like waking up from a nightmare. A…

@avclub-adb4c903674d579c1a43dbf3ae93f077:disqus But Don, Roger and Joan are partners. They are not subject to the same rules. That may not seem fair, but that's the way it works. And they all did earn their partnerships, even if one of them is merely deadweight now.

Hey, it's not like the guy's broken his oath as a King's Guard before, right?

The Qarth arc made Dany a walking punchline, and personally I was never a fan of the Dothraki stuff (I found it cheesy). I'm glad the show is finally getting Dany right. A "clone army" is a little "ummm…." but this is so much better than what they've done with Dany in the past. I hope it gets even better.

Long Gone Before Daylight is my favorite! I love that album. I played it over and over again for months.

I remember the summer when Lovefool was huge really well, because my job also had one radio station on play all the time and it was that song, Barely Breathing, Sunny Came Home, Three Marlenas and, of all things, How Bizarre over and over and over again.

Erase/Rewind - great pick, there. A classic.

Something's not right about Jaime, but I can't put my finger on it.

Agreed. Chaough is all sunshine and smiles these past few episodes, but the ambitious player is there, biding his time. His positive support for Peggy borders on effusive. I find it suspicious. Ted thinks he's better than Don, and at this point (Don's failed Hawaii ad pitch)… he may very well end up proving it.
