At risk of breaking the first rule of AV Club reviews…I have a problem with this grade. I thought a major tenet of the grades was how well something succeeded at what it was trying to do. I don't see how this show could do much better in that regard. Especially considering the wording of the review. You seem to have…

I took CT first in my Challenge fantasy league. I'm predicting a huge season out of him. He's already hooked up with two girls in the first episode.

True, but it does look like it would be fun to be on this show. Maybe it's not a great life, but it beats a lot of corporate hackery that so many of us do.

If anything ever deserved a "Cool story, bro" surely it is this.

The ending shot is the camera panning out from a celebration to a beach where an egg washes up on shore and we hear the faintest hatching sound.

I've heard the same about Lord of the Rings too. Apparently the battles are way more awesome in the books.

Yeah, I think the ones in the show are pretty damn scary as-is and they don't look too fake either.

Without giving away spoilers, is there significantly more ownage in the books?

Holy shit.

Amen, brother

@avclub-84ca205fe6bc691c41c3bfe5a2820a15:disqus I'm with you that she doesn't look too hot here. But in general she's quite attractive. Also, "movie average" is much different than "real life average".

Yeah, I think she's like 5'1" or something.

Yes it does, but as others have stated when it's Kristen Bell having those problems then it's worthy of a movie. When you look like the people I know doing that then it's not a movie.

If you only think in the short term it seems awesome.

I posted this above:

Thank you!

Yeah, taking the main character seriously is the wrong way to go with this.

You're either a beautiful person with everyday problems or a funny person with everyday problems. Or you're a normal person with shit exploding all around you and/or a superhuman talent. Those are the only options.

The ultimate burn!

Much like that movie where Naomi Watts and Robin Wright play moms on vacation that start banging each other's sons.
