So, you're a drunk. Okay…am I missing something?

Very interesting. You bolster my feeling that it is, in the end, difficult to nail down what went wrong with Andrea. I stand by my own observations, but you're adding a more complete and ultimately more damning critique of the entire character arc. I still can't figure out how it all went so far astray. (And, again,…

It's interesting because it's actually difficult to nail down exactly what was so awful about Andrea. (I agree that she was just the worst.) Obviously part of the problem was the actor's grating style and lack of charm or charisma (which I remember noticing way back when she was in Silent Hill).

The eye patch is out of the comics…which points to my complaint about the Governor storyline, which is how completely they whiffed the Governor/Michonne conflict. In the comic there are, shall we say, very good reasons for Michonne to harbor such a grudge. In the TV version it's meant to hang on the weird…

I think you really meant to respond to my other comment (above). Here, I was really just pointing out the quality difference between seasons (which even the show's most outspoken detractors acknowledge) and how it probably will affect (and improve) the "Governor" storyline.

Yeah. I'm just trying to point out that watching a show, disliking it, continuing to watch it, then going to a page where it's reviewed, reading the review (presumably) and then logging in and posting a comment..all just to point out that you think the "show is boring"…just seems to me like an odd chain of actions.

The image of Fred Schneider's "outrage" in the context of the WD prison residents and their problems is one that I can't get out of my head.

Tin ROOF! Rusted.

Then don't watch, don't read the AV Club reviews, and don't comment (i.e. don't participate in diminishing rarefied circles of interest and involvement).

I don't know why you guys are so negative about the Governor thing. I think the whole point is that the team who's doing such a good job with this season (and have somehow managed to turn it into a Steinbeck novel combined with a Romero movie) are going to fix the Governor story and get it right.

Absolutely, that's the reason. (As with her low-slung handgun holster.) The way she swaggers around in that getup is nearly reminiscent of Jolie's Lara Croft. (Well, okay, that's an extremely flattering exaggeration, but still.)

The Iron Man stuff is good because ILM clearly decided (a few years ago) that they needed to step up their game, and the results are visible in the Marvel movies, the Pirates movies and the Star Trek movies. (I personally suspect that they saw the kind of work WETA Digital and the late lamented Digital Domain were…

Right, but it skews the assessment. It's like trying to gauge anti-terrorism programs by how many terrorist attacks occurred, or assessing a burglar-alarm company by the number of break-ins. (In other words, you only get negative examples.)

Yeah, but you're missing my point. I'm saying that any time a viewer points at the screen (any viewer) and says "that is CGI" and "that is not CGI" their accuracy score is going to be so miserable that we can disregard everything else they say.

Yeah. It's just like so many things in life: the more actual expertise and experience a person has, the more tentative and questioning they'll be in their analysis and critiques — and, conversely, the more ignorant and inexperienced the observer, the quicker they are to issue rash, sweeping condemnations of entire…

I hate these CGI "critiques" based on people just looking at the screen and making assumptions about what is or is not CGI, and, based on those ridiculous assumptions, saying that they "prefer practical effects" or "don't like CGI."

But getting from the Time/Life building to anywhere on the West Side is easy as hell; you just walk a block and a half to the 50th Street #1 subway station.

@avclub-723c7ca41a74ee7ee5d26e39d12235be:disqus That one's wrong. There's clearly another company at the other end of the lobby, facing SCDP (where they've put the bathrooms).
