Two years later and I still can’t believe he’s gone. The fact that the author who basically singlehandedly shaped my way of thinking as a teenager and, partially, as a grown-up was still alive and active somehow was incredibly comforting. His death left some part of me hollow.

The AV Club community is dead save for a couple of us stragglers trying to survive among the hoards of Kinja zombies. AV Club straight up killed the one thing that separated it from any other pop culture website (besides Sean O’Neal, Katie Rife and a small handful of writers)

Found the real expert GOT Disqus thread thanks to your link so yeah thanks!

The people who might be drawn in to invade AVC from Jezebel and the like are the last fucking people in the world I’d care to hang with online. Unbearable and humorless and profoundly unwitty, though they all think themselves Wildean wits. They’re not, they’re pathetic. I was a persona on Gawker ten or twelve years…

Another thread to discuss the same topic here:

The, trump, The

Heckuva job, Trumpie.

Pop a vein already, you fucking crook.

Yep. The AV Club’s comments section is a very bad fit for Kinja, but oh well. :(

I can’t, I’m drunk.

When last we saw him he was the wight’s babysitter. Not conclusive he’ll go but this is the first time since people started talking Cleganebowl that it could actually happen. Or it could not. It is just a silly fan theory.

Weekly reminder: we may not be the best, but we sure have been here the longest.

But the dragon got turned by being touched on the head by the Night King, like Craster’s son did. In Hardhome we saw he can raise wights without touching them. So maybe the dragon will be more White Walker than Wight? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The odds are 1-1 that I’m still grey.

“I’ve finally gone off the rails.” Yes, Eckstein, finally...

So the only way to see new comments is to reload the whole page, then scroll down to see what’s new? It feels as if it’s designed to discourage active discussion. I’ll miss the live conversations that used to happen on the AV Club.

So this is new for me, but you folks have an oddsmaker giving 10-1 odds on The Wall coming down... at some point? Am I reading that right? Because if so, that’s basically free money. The damn thing exists solely to come down.

How do you keep up with the KINJA news like that?

Curiously, they are having this screening in Austin when all the clowns are actually in DC.
