A few months from now we'll be barely putting up with: Amelie Gillette's sudden and unceremonious return to the AV Club, following the discrete cancellation of The Office.  

@avclub-6beb5f589a9fd04c21fcd50db3d9c80c:disqus Sometimes it's necessary to cut off communication when the other person has become a Suppressive Person and is preventing me from properly ridding myself of my last remaining body thetans.

I know we've been 'round this one before but… everyone knows Mel did more than just say mean things about Jews, right? Like, he also beat his girlfriend, and not with mean words, but with actual fists and stuff? Anti-semitism is bad and all, but I still don't get why "batterer of women" gets second- or third-billing…

Is this even a review? It's a psychoanalysis.

I'm not sure I do know what you mean, @avclub-53ace1ff159542894f4bbffe5139329b:disqus. Could you explain it for us?

I don't like you, Baelish. I don't like your jerkoff face, I don't like your jerkoff name, I don't like your jerkoff behavior, and I don't like you… jerkoff.

I must see it. Nothing else is in my power.

I totally agree that it's stupid to portray one of the groups of chimps as "thugs" just because they compete for food. But it's also worth noting that the thousands of hours of nature shows that over-stress the "animals are mindless killing machines that do nothing but murder and eat each other" stuff are as much a…

Is there room enough to do that in a Fiat? Damn things are small.

I seriously rolled my eyes at the mention of Herzog and the phrase "the Darwinian struggle for survival", which seems to indicate that Scott's learned everything he knows about natural selection from "Grizzly Man" and Animal Planet. Nature isn't just a nihilistic slaughterhouse where everything constantly kills each…

"cuddly anthropomorphizing, like half-formed cubs rolling on the forest floor or clinging to a mother’s teat"

Whedon isn't just Hollywood ugly - he's ugly ugly.

"Some of my best extras are Asian."

Wonder Woman has the costume she has because it was the costume she had when the character debuted in the 1940s, when she often fought Nazis during World War II as a patriotic superhero slash nationalist war-mascot (see also: every other superhero being published at that time). But the patriotic Nazi-fighting was only…

Oh thank god, please let it die!

Her character on Mad Men is her character on Community, only in the sixties and married to Pete Campbell. Trudy is totally popping whatever the mid-60s equivalent of Adderall is.

@avclub-513006c3cad910dbda9b1762f72aaeec:disqus - but the Doctor is a "renegade" only because Time Lord society has such a giant stick shoved so far up its collective ass. His "crimes", as detailed in the classic series, consist of stealing his time machine, and "interfering" with other cultures. That the Time Lords…

God DAMMIT, VanDerWerrf, that is NOT the plot of Ben Hargrove's "The Punishment of X-4," in which a frustrated maintenance robot lashes out at its human masters by plunging them all to a grisly death. When Don asks him why the robot causes the bridge collapse, Ken replies, "Because he's a robot. Those people tell him…

I prefer to remember him as Scaroth, last of the Jagaroth, in the classic Douglas Adams-penned Doctor Who serial "City of Death."

The thing with Moffat is, while he was pretty decent at writing standalone episodes back in the RTD era, he's kind of shit at long-term plotting. Davies never put any real effort into building season-long arcs, other than to sprinkle catch-phrases along episodes that would then turn up in the season finales; with…
