So I got the homages to Waterworld (Hickey), Hook (Chang) and Die Hard (Abed), but what else am I missing?

My first instinct is to hold the horrible, old-user-unfriendly choices made during the redesign responsible, but hey I can hold a grudge like that.

Thanks for the rebuttal!

I had a different read on the film.
Once Mitty gets on that plane to Greenland, he remains stuck in his daydream up until the very end with that final fade to white (cribbed from Verhoeven's Total Recall to signify Schwarzenegger's continued fantasy fugue state in a spy caper).

I wonder if anybody here has actually seen the movie. It's pretty clear to me that anything that happens after Walter hops onto the plane to Groenland is actually still a daydream all right through to the end and the final fade to white (a swipe from Verhoeven's Total Recall signifying that Schwarzenegger is still…

I'm unhappy about the missing functionalities and the lack of a clear schedule for when they'll be back, but most of all : AVClub has lost a lot of personality in the redesign.

Well having Emily whip out a "y'all" would be the equivalent of what you wrote, so it wasn't that egregious, no. But it made me jump from my couch when I heard it so it was still very surprising to these French ears. She should be able to fake a French accent pretty easily if it's not her natural one, I guess she got…

But when she actually spoke French, her Québécois accent was super strong, so it's not really Frenchness she's accurately portraying there.

It seemed to me the camera was pulling a Shining when it dollied on the B&W photograph of the coven in Zoe's boarding room in the academy. It seemed digitally touched up but I couldn't see who it was supposed to depict. Any idea who it was and why?

Did Lianne Spiderbaby "write" this? She's crazy with the copy-paste that way.

The fact that the show had to go through two showrunners past Ball throughout one season meant it was always going to be a bumpy ride, but I really liked the organic course correction they had going : Bill is not really a God, just a slimy politician/Eric's a bad mofo again, just not as selfish/The wolves are dunzo…

I think it was implied that Marco actually was the one responsible for the enchiladas. Which would also explain why Alma didn't take Sonya's appraisal of them personally.

Yeah but they would all be contorted into some weird positions so we don'tget to see the goods. So I like the semi-sentient pinecone idea the best at this stage.

Reading this, I can't decide if AXN and Gaumont are the most amateur TV production outfits ever encountered or if Fuller exudes so much genius that you can't help but trust him.

I also took it from Jason's dismayed look after checking under the sheets that his Ben shaving moment has been a WET dream. That's why he's so freaked out the rest of the episode.

What I find hilarious is that this is the first time we see Lilith not naked and slathered in blood and they were obviously scared that we wouldn't recognize her. So their way out was a sheer dress with a giant merkin : so creative, TB!

I felt it looked less video-y also, and the green screen was less obvious.

The young boy vampire in Beel's flash-forward at the begining had the same back-against-the-wall child death as Dunst's Claudia I felt (but it could also be argued that the later nazi sun showers are also reminiscent of that scene)

I liked that Lilith's (still  giant but no more bloody) merkin showing thru her summer dress : because continuity is important in TB's world.

Well they forgot to stuff the usual sock in his boxers this week.
