They have, actually, which is kind of infuriating to me. If you're going to review something, stick by it. Don't change it when the consensus against the stance gets too overwhelming.

I can't really claim to be any sort of expert on twee, but one of the things that I think really gets missed about If You're Feeling Sinister if you just label it "twee" and stop there is that it's a deceptively fucked up record. "She was into S&M and Bible study, not everyone's cup of tea," for example. The music may…

My prediction: GRRM still hasn't finished book six.

The "Three Years Later" thing is so wonderfully ballsy, especially for a show as old as Parks, and I loved it. But… if the whole season takes place in 2017, won't that essentially turn it into a science fiction show? Like, three years is a long time, and predicting the future can be an embarrassing practice. I wonder…

This show has been especially deft at handling weddings, which is wonderful because that is exactly where so many other sitcoms falter.

Well, I think it's safe to say that tonight's episode puts to rest the fears raised in this article.

It's been said already, but man, it was so great to see Haddie again. She's such a stabilizing force on this show, and in a series in which almost everyone is supposed to be an audience surrogate at one point or another, she's probably the closest to a TRUE audience surrogate that the show ever had. Haddie, thank you…

I've beaten the original NES Zelda several times (including the Second Quest), but fuck, Link's Adventure is damn near impossible. So freaking hard.

I prefer the older Zeldas, too, when the format wasn't so rigidly established and there was more of an overall free-wheelingness to the series. But the last few years have brought a few steps in the right direction.

OoT's Water Temple is nothing to sneeze at, but Jabu Jabu's Belly from Oracle of Ages kicks its ass, difficulty-wise.

Haven't played Link Between Worlds yet, but given that ALttP is my favorite Zelda by far and LBW is a sort of sequel (right?), I really want to. I just don't really feel like buying a 3DS just for that game and maybe one or two others.

Twilight Princess is definitely some Zelda-by-numbers stuff (though excellent by-the-numbers, I'd argue), but Skyward Sword? I mean, it's no Link's Awakening, but that game really did feel like a shake-up, what with all the new items and how the design sectioned up the overworld and treated each section as its own…

Super short, yes, and not nearly as good as Wind Waker, but I thought the dungeon design was pretty great, especially how they integrated the touch controls into the game. It felt fresh to me.

The part at the end of the game where you see all the various locations on the island dissolve is one of the most emotionally resonant moments in the entire Zelda franchise for me, right up there with some parts of Majora's Mask and Windwaker. I love how this game is able to be both the silliest and most emotionally…

I think Phantom Hourglass is a legitimately good game, although it definitely suffers from some poor execution (that whole central dungeon concept had to look better on paper). Spirit Tracks, though, is just a lazy game that substitutes exploration and side-quests for a few lame collectible-driven missions.

I wouldn't have thought to include David Duchovny in with the best of the X-Files writers (given that he was a cast member, not a staff writer), but now that I'm thinking about it, he's definitely up there for me as well! His episodes have such a genuine warmth to them, which is really unique for this show. The…

I'm so glad Zack mentioned "Never Again." For my money, "Leonard Betts"-"Never Again"-"Memento Mori" is the best run of consecutive episodes the show ever did, and "Never Again" might just be the best of the three.

Just about to say the same thing. My sincerest of thanks to Todd and Zack for writing these reviews for all these years. It's been my favorite TV Club Classics feature by far, and the reviews brought a wonderfully deep understanding of the themes at the core of this series and what made the individual episodes great.…

Yeah, to be fair, there were very few characters in The Wire who became mustache-twirlers. Except maybe Clay Davis, who was one of the few characters with a mustache anyway. But Carcetti became a real tool toward the end.

It was totally illogical that Crosby and Jasmine reconciled (in the RAIN, no less), but damn it all, if that scene isn't one of the more emotionally effective moments in the whole series for me. "Transatlanticism," the rain, the tears, the slow buildup within the scene where it looks like they might not get back…
