Interesting!  I may be way outdated here (please do feel free to say so; I often am) but, just as I thought "savages" meant "People who are not a part of civilization", I thought "civilization" meant something along the lines of "the world of thought inhabited by most citizens who pay taxes or in some other way pay…

Well I guess I thought it might be unflattering if he was trying to play a super-straight he-man type and I thought he came off as gay.  Sorry and thanks!

@avclub-99873fae02972142bb606735b6a52302:disqus  I think you are making valid points with appropriate language, and I applaud that, but I feel bound to mention that comedy, like beauty, is entirely subjective, and that a person's ideology certainly does factor in to what that person finds funny.

Was that character supposed to be gay?  He came off that way to me.  This is a sincere question and not in any way a dig on your friend.

I watched the first episode of this show the same way I watched the pilot of The Neighbors; fully prepared to think it sucked, but still desirous of my own informed opinion.  I prejudged this show unfairly because of its horrible name.  I loved it right away but wasn't able to recommend it because of its horrible…

It is hard to talk about a show with an obscenity in its title.  I love/loved this show, and I've said elsewhere that I thought the bitch in question was actually June (thus making the title structurally important) but that's probably not a word people want to throw around in front of their hypothetical children and…

Thank you for elucidating.  I wasn't sure what "50-year-old Scotch? Whaaaaaaaaat." meant.  Here is a link to Master of Malt's scotch page.  Woo desktop!  http://www.masterofmalt.com…

A savage is "A member of a people regarded as primitive and uncivilized."
What should we call them?  Civilization impaired?

This is a pretty stupid thing to say on a website that's all about critical appreciation of pop culture, but I uncritically loved this season, just as I did the previous three, and I'm just happy that it exists.  Thank you, Universe et al. , for making a nearly perfect TV show in the first place, and thank you again…

I've broken my skull in a third place.

Let the person who pays for the account rate the films; an entirely optional step nobody else should be doing.  If your branch isn't the family paying for that account, your mom's right.

Because Todd VDW single-handedly crashed the stock market!  EVERYBODY PANIC

No no it was "The Machine that could Travel through Time and was also a Hot Tub."

He wasn't saying what Ann's father was saying in the church before they checked the tomb, and probably some other places, but he certainly wasn't drowning out important dialog.  Maybe a couple jokes that repeated viewings will uncover, but nothing essential.

I don't think that's him.

Yeah, I'm not sure why "Hey , there's more Arrested Development" isn't a good enough reason.  It's what I wanted; I thought it was what we all wanted.

That'll teach me to agree with you.

It was just like the lawnmower thing.  This show!  *chuckles, shakes head*

I wouldn't call it "shutting your brain off"; just suspending your disbelief.  Your brain has to work pretty dang hard for the spell of a story to work on you to the extent that you forget it's a story.

I think Jordo is saying that he finds that the reviews often decry the heavy-handedness or "obvious"-ness of the symbols in the episodes, and that's what he finds off-putting; not the mention of the symbols themselves.
