Thinking back it was kind of cool how they took Rachel from the aggressive tomboyish athlete archetype and made her darker and darker to the point where she was almost a straight-up sociopath by the end. They did redeem her a little bit but it was ballsy to even take her in that direction. Plus she went from just…

You are the most pretentious motherfucker alive.

Holy shit, I had no idea he wrote it, that's awesome. Props for that.

Jay Baruchel: talented at playing a loudmouthed neurotic, or annoyance with talented friends?

This is what's known as an "alternate reading", and no, it doesn't mean you're more perceptive for having come up with it.

Yeah, Sepinwall's clearly past his prime. Whereas he used to be able to write paragraph upon paragraph of genuinely interesting commentary, now he can barely fill a page (and even then, only with the same repetitive phrases and tired "insights" that he's been saying for years). Plus he apparently has to do a podcast…

Of all the main characters, Claudette is the only one as unsympathetic as Pennsatucky. She's a violent, dictatorial slave-owning murderer, and that doesn't change no matter how many scenes of her mooning over Baptiste we get.

I feel like these comments sort of show your guys's racism, right?

Oh, go to hell. You don't get to decide someone's race for them.

Yeah I hope all those guys' careers fail for being white.

Making her of lesser value than a more "authentic" African-American, right?

And what was up with the audio dropping out in the middle of Bronchitis? That beat is so cool and then it's just a huge buzzkill.

Alright people in the zeitgeist, where should I start with this if I want to skip the mediocrity? The start of this season?

Royalty is by far my favorite Childish Gambino album/EP/whatever, but maybe I didn't think about the implications of that given how many featured artists there were.

This game was also directed really well in terms of cinematography, using a lot of different and interesting camera angles during cinematics. Like the one where you observe a shuttle's entire docking process from a security camera on the space station a mile away. Or after Jorge's death, when Noble Six walks over to…

HALO 4 SPOILERS:

Take out the word "reasonable" and you've said the same thing twice.

It did look a size too big, didn't it?

Care to explain why?

I actually like this new special for the opposite reason: He's a lot more caustic now and has that edge to him that you find with guys like Marc Maron or Louis CK. His first special was way too wacky and impersonal for it to be anything other than a collection of zany situations. He was trying so hard to come off as…
