People always use that as such a cop-out. Yes, humor is subjective (as is music, or television, or film, or fashion, various other art media such as the hojillion different types of painting, sculpture, etc.). That doesn't mean something that falls under one of those headings can't be objectively bad.

Exactly my point.

They really need to figure out if they want the Ward's chemistry with Skye to play like "big brother" or "love interest," because at the moment it's swinging between the two. And that is squicking me out.

"Great" and "hilarious"? I'm not sure we watched the same video. This was maybe 30 seconds of good ideas stretched out with a bunch of filler dialogue, most of it not matched to anything happening on the screen. Which is, of course, the funniest part of any lipreading overdub video. And I'm not sure why they bothered…

Pasty, as in the food. Not pasties, as in the things that go on a stripper's tits.

I'm sick of being a patsy. May I trade up to a pasty?

Also:

Mistakes in films are like mutations in DNA: most of the time they will either pass without notice or be actively harmful. When they're of the rare, delightful variety that improve the final product, I suspect that most good directors will leave them in.

@avclub-286fc7dfa2d4ca45bfa315abf591138d:disqus: I think you are confusing an objective analysis with a subjective opinion.
It's possible to argue that a film or episode of a TV show was less than perfectly executed (whether the problem is the dialogue, characterization, direction, effects, lighting, whatever) without…

It's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: they get the combined bonuses of TV physics, movie physics, and comic-book physics.

There's a difference between "re-using" and "breaking." For me, the Weeping Angels' true jump-the-shark moment was when they were shown moving on camera in "Flesh and Stone." (Demonstrating supreme ignorance of exactly what makes them so scary: whatever you imagine for their movement is inevitably going to be more…

Tennant's American accent is really weird: he pretty much sounds like Brad Whitford.

Is no one going to point out that I'm an idiot who didn't notice the comment page breaks?

Is no one going to point out that Iain De Caestecker is Scottish, not Irish?

@avclub-3db41011acc2d229176bf6a92202728d:disqus Obviously. The question is not, "Is some random teenager whining on the internet going to change the world," but rather, "What would the world look like if said whiny teenager got their way?"

@avclub-17c3613df50203d147fc87ccd0f1436d:disqus: Yes, I do, actually. It feels like half my DVD shelf is stuff I "acquired" while it was airing on channels I didn't have access to.

@Whatwhatque:disqus: I assumed it was actually a seventeen-year-old kid being a smartass. But that mentality still needs to be smacked the fuck down.

@avclub-6188d67c7355d4166b6d12db43485400:disqus: Again, you're missing the point, here. The reason it hasn't already happened is because people are still voting for good television programming with their wallets.

The problem is he wasn't questioning people buying digital season passes—he was questioning paying for TV at all. Not only no iTunes digital downloads, but no cable, no Netflix, no DVDs.

I think you misunderstood.
