Still get over the card bit.

The A.V. Club

Oh, I hope I didn't give off the implication that comedy is an ineffective or "bad" means of discussing a serious issue. I think there are countless brilliant satirical take downs and they do great to adding to a meaningful conversation. The Colbert Report will likely go down as one of the most important methodical,…

I have always personally felt that it's a shame the world can be like this. It sucks that the only time people willingly take to time to engage in a serious topic is when it's through a comedic or ironic lens. And, yeah, I understand that this is likely because having a serious conversation would require an investment…

Well, "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" is one of the most terrifyingly accurate deconstructions of first world corporations abusing the populace of third world nations for labor and essentially calling it as it is: "slavery with extra steps". (the metaphor could be applied other ways, too).

The circular trajectory of "purging" was probably my favorite punch line. The lower class get their revolution and their freedom, and seeing no other possible alternative (except for, I don't know, BEING GOOD PEOPLE) decide to institutionalize the same damn system all over again. It's the good 'ole Rick and Morty…

But it would alternatively be a disservice to ignore the increasingly built up ramifications of Morty's travels with Rick. They are finally taking their toll.
At it's most basic, Rick and Morty always contemplates the realistic implications of human beings venturing into the madness of the infinite. If you were a…

Aww that one too, dawg!
But this one has Davros, creator of the whole she bang and stuff and Daleks and Uhhhhh
(Really shouldn't reply to this stuff as I get increasingly drunk. Have a good night!)

It was the most pleasant surprise of the whole episode. Davros hasn't been a properly justified villain on the show for DECADES and here… I can empathize with his survivalist principles. They're sick and genocidal (which is why I'm still ok with them revealing it to partially be a ploy) but… They're the product of a…

The scene between Davros and The Doctor makes the whole two parter well worth the somewhat shakey expositional dumps. I have no problem calling this the best Dalek episode since, well, "Dalek."

The Machine possesses the most extreme view of misanthropy and the horrifying thing is he ALMOST sort of sways you.
Because it's basically the most "noble" interpretation of misanthropy. Why allow millions upon millions of people to suffer when you can "ease" them all into oblivion?

A Machine for Pigs has questionably functional stealth mechanics, but presents one of the most metaphorically fascinating worlds I have ever experienced.

Just play it.
It falls back on certain formulas, sure. But I was REALLY impressed with (and terrified by) some late in the game shake ups that make the horror fresh all over again.

I think in the pilot we see that inter dimensional travel is possible on a transit scale, Rick just uses his gun to avoid "customs" and do whatever the fuck he wants.

Cabin in the Woods is a great movie, but anytime it's mentioned as being a an actual horror film I almost instinctively mutter under my breath "*grumble* it's not really a horror film and more a very clever, ultimate genre pastiche but…"

I DID just rewatch it. I liked it a lot more on the rewatch.

It's a sequel.

Two Brothers, How Did I Get Here?

Somehow, I felt the "shows" we saw this time were more… plausible… if that makes sense.

I wonder if they could've done something a little more clever to confirm that Missy is still evil while not going to the point of straight up murder.
Because I do feel they have to solidify that Missy isn't someone to fully trust, and her indiscriminately killing people fits the bill. But it's cruel as hell.
