I liked the idea of post-fossil fuel world where everyone is hooked into virtual reality escapism and mmo gamers have replaced sports stars. I'll assume sarcasm is the closest you get to actual fun.

You mean giving away a DeLorean to whoever figured out the riddle first?

Nah, it has been getting hate on this site long before this new book came out.

I thought that Fargo scene was the worst. Complete cartoon. One guy kills an entire building full of gangsters being monitored by the FBI and walks away?

Psst. Zoe Butcher is a troll…

Except for the part where they said they were going to use the insurance records to check the pawnshops in an earlier episode.

And such small portions, too!

I thought the inclusion Paul's professionalism(along with the completely OP antagonists) elevated the scene from a police shootout to something more along the lines of a military engagement.

That's why I assumed non-important police on the raid didn't die. A few got shot and then the rest buggered off, leaving the main three standing at the end.

It seemed to me that they were purposely lighting up the crowd of protesters.

I would say the interesting part was the contrast between Bezzerides looking like she was about to puke and Velcoro trying to take a constipated shit while Woodrugh calmly put his gun back in his holster.

Excellent user name/episode climax synergy.

Sorry, you'll have to speak up, I can hardly hear you.

Nobody likes a bragger.

People have a specific budget for entertainment and will spend it somewhere else if there isn't a sports team in town. The few jobs that are created are mostly minimum wage food service and the like. Personally, I don't understand a form of entertainment where you are bummed out afterwards about 50% of the time.

Why would the last dude shoot his hostage in the head and just stand there to get filled with lead. He could have used the hostage as a shield and taken a few pot shots before being filled with lead. I can only assume the last thing he shouted in Spanish was "I am an idiot and deserve to die!"

I refuse to read anything written with white letters on a black backround.

It's weird that Ready Player One got an A in its review considering how much hate it gets on The AVClub. Personally, I thought it was pulpy and fun, a quick read with nothing to get all twisted about.

I had a buddy who claimed you had to Dijon mustard to make real guac.

By the transitive property, you loved him?
