"Here's the thing. Science fiction, at its best, uses speculative

that reflects in one way or another on our actual experiences."

You really should read a whole thread before replying.

Nah you can't resist this.

Or what.

Still proving my point. Ta.

Aaand you just proved my point.

Then you should knock off the fapping.

Thank you. Apologies for being overly cynical. Have a good Christmas.

Ok so you know what, things like clickbait (which does happen A LOT in many places, including in many of places that I like) don't really seem to seem as offensive to me in the way it obviously does to you guys. And so I'm genuinely sorry to be that unknowingly insulting. As I said I like the site a lot, I've been…

Sorry, didnt mean to imply I love it all. I have issues with Lyndon (indulgence!) and FMJ most especially. I do think his best stuff is exceptional though.
Your niece - ouch, never let her even hear about Peckinpah and show her some Breillat, but not Fatgirl or Romance!

Oh shit, you seem a little behind the times.

Did anyone else see her rejecting the banana and him laughing about it and binning it as the sexual side being dropped and that now they can just be friends?

"I'm not going to direct anymore comments at Darling because it's clearly a waste of time"

I'm not sure if you read it much, but it's almost pure clickbait in the opinion and culture sections.

Well The Guardian did it and they are clickbait whores so I don't think it's super outlandish, especially when you consider the size of the comments for this past season.

Zack, I'm not complaining about the placing of the show at number 2, I haven't moaned about that once. I'm also not complaining that you MAY (I've not even said you definitely did that, just pointed out a "good" reason for doing it) have ranked something marginally lower or higher with a view to generating more…

No, it will ruin my inegrity as a dickish internet commentator. :)

"Yes, AVC might make content decisions based on pageviews."

" If a critic was found to rank something based on something
business-related, like pageviews, that would damage their credibility in
their field and is a serious accusation."

Your assumptions are truly hilarious, so thanks for keeping me entertained on my last day of work before the break. Are you really saying you can't be a AV fan if you know the site makes content decisions based on a business model? That's one of the more naive things I've read this week. I like Enlightened and AVC…
