In the darkest timeline, The Legend of Korra ends with Korra finally reconnecting with her past lives and reaching the Avatar State…and then purposely throwing herself off a cliff to end the Avatar cycle, allowing the rest of the world to move on into a modern, technology-based era.

People on the AV Club seem to be down on The Originals, but it's too ridiculous not to like:
- At the beginning of the episode, Klaus has trouble painting because he's "missing a crucial color in [his] palette: that of [his] enemies' blood." Then later, he kills a couple lackeys and paints with their blood.
- Elijah…

Dey tuk er jeeeerbs!

Gotham is DC's attempt to cash in on the Batman name as cheaply and blandly as possible.

NBC was right to pass on Mulaney.

We're actually not allowed to abort fetuses that are minutes away from birth, so it's not really all that relevant. Also, rarely does a birth threaten the existence of humanity.

Young blood is actually the key.

Did you set it to easy mode?

The lead actress of the show is a good fit, but damn, I could see Gillian Jacobs tearing it up in that role too.

Selfie
Pros
- Karen Gillan: I don't think she's fully mastered the American accent yet, but that just makes her hotter somehow.
- John Cho: It's kind of progress to see an Asian-American as a male lead of a TV show, except that every major male (East) Asian role in TV or film since Harold and Kumar has been played by…

Post your initial impressions about Selfie and A-to-Z.

Yes.

You should fuck film criticism. Fuck it right up the ass.

it seemed halfway stuck between being a '70s thriller pastiche and a comic book movie.

The parallels fit well. A non-bender who holds her own in a world dominated by benders using physical prowess and gadgets.

Holy shit Platinum Games? I did not know that. That's amazing.

So awkward - Red Lotus guard: "I don't know why we ended up here in daycare when everyone else gets to watch the Avatar being destroyed." Like they're demolishing a building or something.

Malekith does suck, and Thor 2 is the weakest of the Phase 2 movies so far. Cool scifi/fantasy setting, but missed opportunity to basically have a Marvel LOTR.

I don't care much for the character either, but I'm always up for more Karen Gillan, especially when she's evil and blue.
