I defend The Strain for what it is, not what I wish it was. I love shows like Fargo and Better Call Saul as great works with rich story and characters. I enjoy The Strain for mere entertainment value. I put it in the same category as The Walking Dead. If you complain about the shallow characterization on TWD, you're…

Is the Citadel the name of the place the Multiverse of Ricks hang out? I don't really get what you're saying about a poster.

I love that Rick. Bless his shit smeared soul, I hope he makes a reappearance.

That's the weird thing. I know Tom Cruise is a crazy Scientologist, but he keeps making good movies. How can I hate him when he makes Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion? He's a great actor but a terrible person, at least when it comes to his religion. He was even fun on Daily Show last week, with Jon mocking how they're…

See also Youtube. They've been trying to force me to merge my Youtube account with my Google+ account. I'd rather use Youtube with a screenname than use my real name from my Google+. I can't comment or rate videos at all anymore thanks to the incessant pestering me to merge them every time I try to do either. I don't…

What broke on disqus for everyone else? For me I couldn't login to comment, even after logging out and back in, something about an insecure server that wasn't recognized as being connected to The AV Club. Disqus shits on us in so many ways that I don't know if my Disqus shit is the same as your Disqus shit. It's like…

It's a little disturbing to think too much on. Even if they took home the wrong Jerry, would anyone even notice? Most Ricks are similar and the Jerrys are all identical, so literally no one would notice, neither the Ricks who took a Jerry or the Jerrys who went back with a Rick. Each Jerry has a distinct(but…

I stand corrected then. I got the episode title wrong, but I remembered Kahn himself pointed out the similarity to Hank's name. It felt like a bit of a meta joke, including that.

It's not giving too much credit. There's a reason Angel coincidentally had a limp like he did in the fake movie. They don't do a random crappy old wrestling B-movie for no reason, not in the middle of a vampire apocalypse. Plus he's a character from the books so I'm sure he has a larger part to play. Give the show a…

I just realized that Flashback Palmer and Flashback Abe are totally Wheels and the Legman from American Dad. Cue their custom theme music!

I'm sure he wasn't in actuality a vampire wrestler. It was a B-movie retelling of his actual prowess. Imagine if The Strain was retold as a B-movie where Fet killed vampires by throwing mouse traps at them, using the silly cliches of his career. In reality I'm sure Angel killed vampires in the same badass ways…

Yeah, an imdb thread alerted me to small cuts being made throughout the episodes, and the AVC Review's mention of a Jill/Simon intercourse subplot confirmed that they were trimming entire scenes out rather than just shots within scenes.

Maybe Leo eats to fuel his organic parts, and the charging is just for his synthetic parts? It sounded like a lot of his brain was digital now at the least, so he'd need power for it. Presumably they haven't had to develop the technology for cyborg parts to be fueled by the body's metabolic processes, since there…

I loved Cotton's bond with Bobby. He may hate his son, but he loved his grandson. The one time he ever complimented Hank, he said "You made Bobby! All I made was you!"

Actually, they mention it directly in the "De-Kahnstructing Henry" episode itself, when an off-his-meds Kahn is in a manic phase.

They must be the same people who quietly eat at Paddy's Pub while the terrible owners do terrible things each week on It's Always Sunny.

I thought he was reaching to cop a feel off Fake Beth, like he couldn't resist on even a fake Beth. It's such a Jerry thing to do.

I bet that's the universe where Rick eats his own shit. It has to be a great big universe of fail. First shit-eating Rick, now pink shirt-wearing Jerry. Rick didn't have kids in that universe you say? Well Shit Eating Rick took Jerry along because he's dumb(or sentimental for what the other Ricks have) and then…

The show has a 3-5 season plan. This season's padding out a little to expand to that 5 season plan, as explained in a season 2 featurette. I think it's doing well so far, since I'm having fun with it.

Also seen in the background of The Simpsons couch gag when Morty went to get the Simpsons clones made. It looked like the Simpsons couch gag was largely "taken" from this episode.
