I'm glad Hitler has an AV Club account now.

My assumption is that he was just pissed off that some of his writers left to do another show, and then came back to do a crossover to that other show's benefit.
I SHAN'T BE BACK
I do love the idea of someone dismissing his kids as useless because of their poor taste in food. Just completely incapable of understanding the concept of childhood.
The worst was when I was out to karaoke with friends and someone picked "American Pie" and everyone was singing along to this fucking terrible interminable song and I was just sitting there with my hands clenched in fists of rage &c.
It's a great episode and I don't understand why so many people hate it. It might not be top 10 but it's easily top 25.
"The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" didn't seem like a finale to you? Wow, I can't understand that at all.
@repostedcustomerreviews:disqus I didn't know Ghostface Killah wrote Amazon reviews.
I didn't think I needed to provide documentation to verify that I'm allowed to be angry about a plot point in a book. And I don't need to be educated about what OCD is, either.
It doesn't seem like HBO to continue a series way past its natural running time. If they run out of books, I'm sure HBO will just Swordfish GRRM into writing up an abbreviated treatment for the last two books that their scriptwriters can turn into a show.
The idea that having OCD is permanently crippling because you'll spend most of your life counting tiles or whatever is pretty offensive to me.
I think the meaning of the word "tolerate" has sharpened a bit over the years, and "tolerance" has been dragged along.
I remember people saying similar stuff about that Golden Compass movie, though. Ender's Game is a popular book, but I don't know that it's necessarily popular enough to get past the people saying "duhh, why would I want to see some space movie about a little kid?"
Why is it so important to you that nobody disagree with your opinions on Orson Scott Card?
You don't see why people with OCD might find that plot point a little bit objectionable?
@avclub-8b14f79688c0146367914b8240be4128:disqus Because it was using a stereotypical depiction of a mental disorder as a cheap plot point. "Oh, we've got a planet full of Brazilians, and a planet full of Samoans, and a planet full of obsessive-compulsive Chinese right over here…"
Yuuuup.
I always knew you faked your death in that car crash!
Oof, that OCD planet was the worst. That's where Card lost me.
Can you maybe hate him for contributing large sums of money to deprive your fellow citizens of their civil rights?
