AV Club has one of the smartest and most-welcoming commenting communities on the internet. That being said, it's still the internet and that often makes it a terrifying fucking pitch-black abyss that keeps zooming out until you realise it's just a close-up of a troll-face eye.

Sorry, I didn't even think about that. Deleted.

This was a great article, thanks Kevin.

From the AV Club review of the next episode: "most of her performance this season looks as if it could be the same endlessly recycled reaction shot, with Washington working her horrified-repulsed expression (Ugh! Steamed broccoli again!!)"

Agreed… plus the amount of times I tried to make that half-lap cheat jump, only to go plummeting down down down into the abyss.

5 O'Clock Shadow of the Colossus

<spoilers> 18 hours of Joel stubbornly ignoring his guilt.

Trying to reconcile 'Vampire Racecourse' with Empire of the Sun might give you a hernia attack.

I'm so excited for this albums. Every Faint album has some amazing tracks - yes, even Fasciinatiion. 'Mirror Error' and 'Forever Growing Centipedes' are my jams.

I don't need Olivia on the show. I can always just use my mind's eye to imagine someone looking shocked and on the verge of tears in response to anything that is said to them.

Huge fan of the original thirteenology (listened on audiobook a few years ago), but I haven't yet delved into the All the Wrong Questions books. I feel like I had a kind of closure with that world/writing-style and all the violence and sloppy eating contained within. Should I delve back in with the new prequel series?

Regarding Todd's Sufjan Stevens entry, I'm not a huge fan, but I still sometimes get upset that he dismissed the 50 States Project so quickly (and now even outright disses on it). It was such an imaginative and, momentarily, astoundingly-realized project.

Kiyohiko Azuma, who puts out Yotsuba&! manga volumes once a year, and I read them in like half an hour.

There's a typo here - "then exaggerated relife when she realizes that she’s not"…

Man, the Cougar Town Instagram spoiled the big reveal in this episode. Serves me right for being at a point in my life where I follow TV shows on Instagram.

Just want to say that Monster is also one of my favourite R.E.M. albums (along with Up, primarily because it was also the first one I owned. Just a lot of good memories with that album from my angsty teen years… and the fact that it's criminally underrated makes it even more appealing to me.

Like Osment, Daniel Radcliffe also has an awesome taste in music. I remember back in the HP heyday when iTunes released 'celebrity playlists' curated by Rupert Grint and Radcliffe. Radcliffe has this amazingly eclectic selection with an in-depth justification for each song's position in the playlist. Grint had like…

Ha, yeah I agree with you. The Moody/Runkle chemistry is pretty up there too.
Also, yes, this show definitely has some boobs. Boobs of note include Susan Sarandon's daughter in season 3 and that actress girl from season 4. Wow, I can't even remember their names, only their boobs. I might be terrible.

I agree 100% with this statement. I don't exactly long to watch it, but as each new season comes out on DVD, I sit down to watch it and get genuinely tied up in the storylines. Plus, the cast has undeniable chemistry.
