I'm growing curious: does everyone think Abrams was a showrunner on LOST? You know he had no involvement after the pilot, right?

I guess someone ought to point out that Abrams was involved in the pilot for LOST and little else about it, which makes it a bit unfair to pin the finale on him. And you really hated Super 8 that much? And Mission: Impossible III? Jeez.

So you thought Mission: Impossible III was bad? How so?

@avclub-c65a46c16b70bf886e62e791cd4a80b3:disqus , see my response to @avclub-5da1b606f7d1ec32cb168b54b36c0b6a:disqus . Am I the only one who can't comment there?

I have a strange technical problem with The Dissolve: The comments under the articles appear on my work computer as white text on a slightly-off-white background, which effectively nullifies my ability to participate. No idea why; I can see that there are people commenting, so it's clear that there are others who…

You're correct about the socks thing, although I may have been kidding about the snark.

A "mysterious billionaire with an even more mysterious agenda"? Doesn't his inherent mysteriousness cover his agenda? How can his agenda's mysteriousness somehow be distinct from his personal mysteriousness? Aren't they essentially the same thing?

@avclub-fb3deea8bff8902a6a092a4b532b4a68:disqus and @avclub-da496e2db2e50a068b4ae5549d4ae1b0:disqus 's exchange feels like the ne plus ultra of internet conversations.

Howard Cosell cosplay is also bananas.

If You Want My Royalties (You Ain't Got 'em)

It's a perfectly common name in the Trill comminity.

This is the most salient comment here. You read Nanjani's comments, waiting for the joke, until it becomes clear that he's the only person on the planet who took the super-obvious metaphor literally.

DENIAL

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

Love Out of Sight and love Farina in it. His role is small but he makes it so memorable. Who wouldn't want a dad like that?

Guys, you're forgetting that Farina played the guy sitting in the boat in Tommy's mother's painting.

Absolutely perfect casting: Farina as Ted "Wildcat" Grant on Justice League Unlimited.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Can someone please do an Excalibur/"Kid Stuff" mash-up?

@avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus , I want to ask you if you think advancing age has anything to do with your response to the Con this year, and I want to do it in a non-jerky way, so I'll say up front that I'm completely projecting this assumption based on my own experiences.
