The whole shipper thing always kind of bothered me, considering that the characters are, like, 12 - or at least Toph and Aang are. Katara is 14, which kind of makes it worse, especially considering that she's so motherly and Aang is so child-like (or, rather, age-appropriate). It seemed kind of icky to me. I'm glad…

I read something somewhere about how network notes greatly increased the number of voiceovers because they were afraid that viewers wouldn't be able to follow along. So if a voiceover tells us something along the lines of, "This is a firefighter - he is helping me because he supported my dad as sheriff!" then it's…

My favorite was when Buster, having gotten his hand-chair back, sits in it and sighs, "I never thought I'd miss a hand so much!" or something like that. I think this was early on in the first season.

Zuko is voiced by Rufio from Hook.

Sometimes when I go to the beach with my friend, she makes fun of all the skinny people who walk by. I think it's a defense mechanism.

Abortionplex
When I read the 8 billion dollar abortionplex story, I had a feeling people would be dumb enough to think it was true. Sure enough, a couple of days later, Failbook featured probably about 8-10 responses.

I think Oliver and Donna are trading off, like Genevieve and Donna did in previous years.

Hi!
I've never read a review by you before, but I already love you.

I check in on how my suggestions are faring a few times a day, and I'm surprised by how much the votes have been vacillating. It seems like people are giving suggestions negative votes just because they want a certain suggestion to "win", which is interesting because the AV Club never said that they would choose the…

It's my favorite part, too. I actually want to eat all of those burgers. I see the name and I think, "Ooh, how can I make that for myself?" I hope they really do put out a cookbook, even if it's a joke one, because I would be all over it like a marshmallow on a sweet potato pie

There are already Lost tours on Oahu. It seems like it would be pretty easy to experience it without the help of the AV Club.

Kauai/San Diego
I may be biased because I'm from Kauai and currently reside in San Diego, but…

Casey Barteau

Another vote for Casey Barteau.

Seconding the love for smitten kitchen, david lebovitz, and joy the baker.

You are not the only one, Lloyd.

I don't know if the tone was serious, though - I don't think a drama would have Abed looking like Fabio for the entirety of an episode. I found lots of funny things in the episode, though I do agree that a lot of it was more clever than laugh-out-loud funny.

Yeah - I thought of the Last Temptation of Christ as well when I saw that.

I loved this episode. That being said, having worked in a church office, I am a huge fan of religious humor, and I can see how my circumstances would affect my view of the episode - for example, it gave me a greater appreciation for how they followed the story of Jesus or the humor in Shirley, as a Christian, being…

I remember not wanting to join the Harry Potter craze when the first book came out, and purposefully avoided it. But when I read that first book…oh man, it taught me to never avoid something just because it's popular (I was a 13-year-old hipster-contrarian-in-training at the time, so I at least learned my lesson…
