I liked a couple of songs from their new album. Legendary Child reminded me a lot of their best 90's-era songs. And Out Go The Lights was really excellent and something different. But felt like more miss than hits overall to me.

I would argue that the song is a memorable and catchy blues-rock song. The opening riff immediately sets the tone for the song, and things escalate in a satisfying manner leading to an emotion-packed finish that all great rock songs need. The lyrics are fun and Steven Tyler sings the hell out of them. These are the

You sound like a person who knows how to make a solid argument. People must really value what you have to say.

Please explain how it's objectively terrible …

Wow, dead-on description of a typical night for me.

Go back to listening to Mumford and Sons.

I never expected to see praise for Aerosmith or (in particular) of Nine Lives on The AV Club, but this is a pleasant surprise. This is a fantastic rock album. Big fan of a lot of the songs on this. Taste of India is a favorite. Kiss Your Past Goodbye is awesome.

Loved this episode - to me, this was the series' first "A." Just fantastic, super Marvel-y pulp that also had a ton of heart. Atwell absolutely killed it tonight - I can't remember the last time I straight-up rooted for a TV hero this much.

No — link …?

I always laugh out loud when "I Miss You" comes on the radio, and I hear the part, after the first chorus, when Tom comes in wailing "WHERE ARE YOU …?" So comically emo …

It's up now on iTunes.

You're overthinking this. Good is good. The only thing that keeps Orphan Black from being regarded on the same critical level as Game of Thrones is that the writing and acting, overall, is not on the same level. People (myself included) still love Orphan Black because the characters are great and Tatiana Maslaney

I sort of loved this episode. Also, this:

Shouldn't this part really be played by Matthew McConaughey …?

They wouldn't have needed to force a fast pace. This episode could have been half the length and still had all the same content. Could have cut the unnecessary Carol flashbacks. Could have cut about half the dialogue, which was either overexpository or repetitive. The Beth episode would have been much more exciting

An A- …? This was a flat-out weak episode, and I tend to be a Walking Dead apologist. This one had glacial pacing, which only made me confident that the story could have been combined with the Beth episode from two weeks ago and nothing would have been lost. Multiple scenes of characters just sitting and talking

This was a fun episode - sharp jokes, lots of good references and callbacks, and a great way to check in on the much-missed Futurama characters. I say B+.

It's schlock. There's a difference. There is TV on the air that is so much worse than The Strain, and genre TV that wishes it had half of this show's imagination. I'm not saying it is the greatest thing ever. But I am saying that a D+ is a ridiculous grade for the S1 finale. And worse, the reviewer is coming at it

And to you and to anyone else with a similar mindset … there's no real quality difference between The Strain and stuff like Sleepy Hollow, or any other silly-but-entertaining genre TV, that regularly nets A-grades from The AV Club. I'm just saying that it's annoying to have a show like Sleepy Hollow treated with such

It is pretty late, actually. Since I have a thing called a job on Monday morning.
