“Believe women” doesn’t actually mean that a woman can’t be wrong despite what the mediate would like you to think.

I wonder sometimes if there’s just one Extremely Divorced Guy on here with lots of accounts, or if AV Club is just the new hot hangout for bitter divorcees. 

Well, thank god we have you to save us from the scourge of women oppressing us all with their filthy lies.

A fake composer featured in a faux-biopic claimed to train under a real composer in the film. The real composers family decided to roll with it and announce the character really did train under their father as a joke, despite the fact that this entire movie is completely fictional.

I hear she was a producer on Spider Man Turn-Off-The-Dark AND played volleyball at Baruch College.

Ironically in this film it would actually make a decent amount of sense if Mr. Potato Head died on the way to his home planet.

Mr. Potato Head. Mr. Potato Head! Backdoors are not secrets!”

During that scene I was thinking “wow, the fungus radically reshaped the topography of Waltham”

I loved the nuance of Bill showing his feelings for Frank in really vulnerable way in the bed. You can tell his is utterly terrified not about the sex but the fact he is really opening his heart for the first time.

I loved when Bill giggles in pure joy at the taste of the strawberry.

So much of prestige TV has trained me to suspect the worst, so when Frank was invited in I kept thinking how is this stranger going to destroy Bill’s life?

Yeah, that caused some laughs while we were watching. The proceeding shots could have conceivably been Concord, although the town they ended up in was supposed to be Lincoln. Whatever. It just seems strange that they felt they needed to the hassle of getting an “idyllic mountain stream” shot for this series when

You are all wrong, NWO was a Hulk Hogan/Scott Hall/Kevin Nash thing.

Bartlett was quoted in an EW interview that was posted after the episode aired that it was (I’m paraphrasing a bit) like having this big, sprawling, incredible horror/sci-fi story and then just dropping a beautiful Sundance film in the middle of it. Highly accurate.

Also I wouldn’t say that Ellie killing the infected man was her being ‘cold-blooded’ in the least. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be the opposite - her venting her grief and anger at Tess dying in her name. She might not have the same bond to Tess that Joel does but that’s still something that needs catharsis.

Absolutely beautiful *and* guaranteed to piss off all the right assholes.

Loved it (and so glad they took this route instead of the game version).

The bit with the Mortal Kombat game was also a fun nod to the Left Behind DLC, where Ellie finds a broken fighting game, and Riley guides her through an imaginary playthrough of it.

“Arby’s didn’t have free lunch; it was a restaurant.” First legit LOL line of the season.

that strawberry scene totally smacked me back of the head with some emotions.
