"have you ever tried googling me? it's impossible"

For the Wetaskiwin

Also, pls tell us what else we're the coolest at. Canadian like to have their national ego stroked… (yes, yes, yes "phrasing")

Arcade Fire? woof. There's so many better Canadian bands viz. Propaghandhi, The Duhks, The Tragically Hip, Bruce Cockburn, Metric, Skinny Puppy etc…

Schitt's creek is amazing. I was hoping the AV club would start reviews even though it's only on Pop in the states. But Catherine O'Hara being indignant about everything; you can't go wrong.

so is this the place where I can bitch about Sportsnet's hockey coverage? because it actually hurts my soul

Steve French will always have a place in my heart.

let's get two birds stoned at once; a season 8 review and how about some TV Club classic reviews going back to season 1!

Is life really worth living if I CAN'T spend 12 hours smoking weed and watching Farscape?

There is definitely more nuance going on there than simply "Louie tries
to rape Pamela". In previous episodes his ex-wife initially dismisses
his relationship with Amia because they haven't had sex. And later,
Ivanka gives the whole "buying the cow" speech. Of course this doesn't
justify what he does, but it…

I'm pretty pissed that AMC picked this up and not The Terror

ummmm… the Taino and the Arawak. He enslaved/tortured/infected those people pretty good.

well yeah, he says as much in the episode. If he had to eat someone he would eat an old black lady, because that person would be most dissimilar to hmself

Yeah well Bran pretty much mind rapes Hodor. The fact that Hodor can be "warged" suggests that he's not really a person. I found that pretty disturbing, more disturbing than Jaimie raping Cersei because Hodor's personhood is abolished and he's being used as a tool. But based on comments I've read it's supposedly…

I kinda feel like the this review's focus on sexual politics was a little cumbersome. This episode had a few interesting things to say about the role of disabled people in Westeros, just as much as it was about the treatment of women.

Yeah, I don't really get the constant criticism of "magic" on this show.
The spirit world would have been very real to people living at that
time. They would have made real world decisions based on their spiritual
beliefs and would have seen the spirit world all around them. This does
not mean that myths and…

how the heck did "my wife's breasts are so great" not make it in to Stray Observations?

Yeah i really enjoyed those scenes between Ecbert and Aethelstan. It really rammed home that as much as the Anglo-Saxons were a sort of civilizing force in western Europe this was still very much the dark ages. how unimaginably frustrating it must have been for free thinkers to realize just much knowledge had been…

The Skraelings would actually have been either the Dorset culture or Beothuks. Inuit (eskimos) don't show up in that part of the world until the 12th century. Arctic history nerd powers activate!
