The A.V. Club writers run a daily competition to see which of them can have the dumbest take of the day. This is Roxana’s entry for yesterday.

They killed everyone on Supernatural and didn’t discriminate. Pretty much anyone who got close to the Winchesters was eventually killed. Hell, they killed Bobby!

Ah, yes, but you forgot that Military = Bad and that if the US just stopped having one, the world would be super safe and junk.

• Of course Walker signed up for the Marines after Sept. 11, and of course the show treats that like it’s an admirable thing. Of course.

“The [American] military and the police are inherently malicious.”

a martial arts cowboy cop in a show with no complicated space or fantasy elements helped immensely.

My favorite first episode title not called “Pilot” has to be “The End” from Red Dwarf. "The End already? Huh, that was quick." 

(And no, to state the obvious, it isn’t enough to be encouraging of those who only join the military and police forces on righteous and deliberate missions to reform them as quickly as possible. Progressives must also be open to engage in meaningful and constructive dialogue with those who join for traditional, even…

As a US Navy veteran and an Elizabeth Warren fan, I’m extremely unimpressed with the overt and wholesale smearing of the military and police organizations throughout this review. Painting them as inherently malicious is an excellent way to discourage liberal and progressive persons from joining them, so it seems to me…

I think you may be conflating Chuck Norris’ actual beliefs with Walker’s, especially since the original show emphasized him being half-Cherokee and a very spiritual person quite often, especially in the early seasons. Also, while Walker was a conservative, he was also very anti-racism. Hell, probably 1/4 of the bad…

I gotta agree. The ratio of sitcom spoof to interesting MCU stuff is way out of whack. That was an hour of viewing. For a few minutes of weirdness. I got no joy out of boss coming to dinner or misunderstanding tropes from tv shows made 65 years ago.

Eh. The classic sitcom gimmick was cute for about 5 minutes. Wasn’t expecting this to go on as long as it’s going. I get it already. Rather than being intrigued by the hints and clues, I’m checking my watch, wishing they’d get to the point. I can’t watch a whole season of this sillinness.

If there’s not a Stark Toaster available for sale by mid-November, an entire department at Disney is getting fired.

To understand the logic it helps to look at another example. Currently there is a movement to classify autistic people as “neurodiverse” as opposed to disabled. So the idea is that the lack of social or behavioral functioning autistic people experience is just a result of them being different, as opposed to being…

Season one was decent enough as a kind of sci-fi version of Xena or the like, season two is absolutely the latter though, it goes all-in on appealing to die hard cartoon fans, of which I am not one.  I honestly cringe at people who consider that stuff on par with the films.

That’s amazing. I’m 10 minutes in and I’m coming to the conclusion that I have zero desire to see this. I’m finding that I just don’t give two shits about the new characters.

I feel like everything about Finn was mishandled. He’s been raised since childhood to be a killing drone, yet the first time he shoots down a tie fighter he’s yelling “DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU SEE THAT?” like a 12 year-old? Where would he have even heard that phrase? Soldier with Kurt Russell did a better job…

“Things pick up with a Back To The Future-like twist, as Rey opens a pathway to the spirits of Life Day past. We are then thrown into a time-traveling adventure revisiting every key point in the Star Wars saga—all retold and rebuilt in the goofy Lego style”

Given that Rise of Skywalker was bad at, well, pretty much everything, is it really THAT amazing?

We are introduced to this new story by our omniscient narrator, Master Yoda, who explains that Rey has begun training Finn to be a Jedi.
