Ooh, you mean we'll be able to spend thirteen hours leading up to a fistfight with D'Onofrio in a dark alley again?

Defenders, a "single, massive event"? Easy there, Newswire. The Avengers movies are "massive events." Defenders, so far as we know, is likely just a third season of Daredevil from the klutzes who gave us its disastrous second, plus Krysten Ritter and some other unknowns whose series may or may not be worth a damn.

*A Tale of Two Cities waits sadly by the phone, hoping it'll ring again someday…*

If that's how you choose to use this day, that's fine. Just maybe don't say "Happy [your loved one's death] Day", eh?

No, it's not about us. It's about those that gave (in Lincoln's words) the "last full measure of devotion" to their country.

Dear A.V. Club, Holocaust Remembrance Day was from May 4-5 this year. If it had been a federal holiday, would you have wished us a "Happy Holocaust Remembrance Day from The A.V. Club"?

"She Blinded Me With Science" into Weird Science.

Yeah, way to spit in the face of the ILM professionals who fooled numerous critics into thinking that Davy Jones was a CG head on a live actor, rather than a completely mo-cap performance (to say nothing of the movie's other effects). What technical awards has this Rob Dean ever won?
