Odd to comment on a really old review piece but I begun a rewatch of Buffy recently and I usually go back through AV Club for reviews on older shows. I'm not one for grading series episodes (seems a lot easier with a complete medium like film than single tv episodes) but I was interested in seeing that 'Welcome to the…

I think only The Knick and perhaps Hannibal could get close to matching Deadwood for dialogue.

I had talked, a while back, with someone who had worked on the scripts for the show and basically yeah it was supposed to go beyond three seasons (season four would've focused more on Jekyll experimenting on the inmates for one thing), they were told pretty late about it not being renewed so basically they had to try…

I think there's very little to this rumour if you take into account Fisher's passing is very recent (Disney won't risk a public backlash that big so soon), and not to mention the huge cost of it, which alone should put paid to this rumour.

If Penny Dreadful had been as promoted as any standard HBO series it would've found a bigger audience, but still 2 and a half pretty good seasons of vampires, werewolves and gothic Eva Green.

It wasn't a great opening by any means but to be honest I'm only in it to see Tom Hardy in a top hat, brooding in a Bloodbourne-esqe world.

'I still don’t understand why The Undertaker announced his Rumble entry on Raw and not Smackdown! Live(.)'

Swartzwelder is arguably the greatest writer to have been on the Simpsons writing team. The dude once bought a whole booth from a local restaurant where he used to write Simpsons' scripts, drinking coffee and smoking, after he was told he wasn't allowed smoke in there anymore, he put the booth in his home.

As a huge fan of this show I felt the final two episodes were the poorest of the entire season, a letdown and in some ways it felt like the writers didn't realise they were coming to the end until it hit them out of nowhere and they had to throw something together. A disappointing end to a great show.

Yep pretty much, even the worst MCU movies aren't all that bad tbh. Disagree on Thor & Age of Ultron being bad films though, Thor is a delightful little gem of a movie that deserves more love (shame the sequel was forgettable as hell) and Age of Ultron was genuinely one of the best and most fun comic book films of the…

A B-?? I'm not one for conspiracy theories when it comes to films (who would be after how nasty some people were to a lot of critics with Batman v Superman?) but it's always seemed that the X-Men series has been given a lot of passes for stuff Marvel & DC would usually be hung up for. As for the grade, Apocalypse is a…

Right so they'll totally start off next season with a time jump (either backwards or forwards)? And whoever it was that got beaten to death won't have been a major character or an interesting one? Damn this show is a load of pee-pee pants.

Provided both Luke Cage and Iron Fist's respective series' are received well (and I mean com'on it's Marvel! What are the odds they won't knock it out of the park on of both these?) then I reckon both shows will be combined as a season 2 team up either just before or after the Defenders.

They could've drawn it out for a little longer and more subtle too, the doubts about that kind of lifestyle only really started to creep in in the previous episode (an episode where overall it seemed like Carol had accepted/settled into that kind of lifestyle in order to survive), whereas with Glenn it felt more…

While I could see what they were aiming for with Carol it felt so weak coming over just one episode, why did Carol all of a sudden have a fear of killing those who mean her and the group harm?

I think Joel O'Keefe from Airbourne would be a pretty good replacement for Johnson, in fact let's get all Doctor Who with this stuff any time a member of AC/DC retire/leave/die they're replaced and the wheels keep on spinning and they keep producing the same album they've been doing for the last 12 (or is it closer to…

The weak boss battles never took away from the fun of playing tbh, I've played through the game multiple times since it was released and still enjoy it a lot. Hopefully any potential sequel hardens up the bosses though, but sequel or not I just want more open world-ish games set in Middle Earth.

Dude sounds like Database from the Simpsons

I got a real Assault on Precinct 13 vibe from the music of this episode (not to mention the actual assault on Negan's place probably helped that feeling). So far the second half of this season hasn't been a disappointment, they'll probably save Negan until the final scenes of the last episode to keep people hooked for…

I tried getting into Kendrick Lamar a few years ago but I found his voice was off putting (probably a lame reason), yet with this release and the hype around his new album I decided to try again and wholeheartedly this time - More or less I spent the entire weekend gone listening to the album or having it play in the…
