I would humbly suggest that there is value in boys (and girls) to be disabused of the notion that some things are for boys only. And to whatever extent a silly show about a time traveler can get kids to think outside traditional gender roles that’s also good.

Why does a role model for boys have to be a man?

I’m one of the assholes who is sad to be losing the Doctor as a male role model. Yeah, I get it that there are 50 years worth of episodes featuring a male character to watch, and I am always happy to see that young girls get more heroes. But I freely admit that this feels different due to personal and emotional…

Point conceded. I preferred Romana I, but Teegan was a comely woman

No. The mistake is assuming there is a code. Trump is not playing chess. He’s playing candyland. He doesn’t make promises he can’t keep as part of a strategy, he makes promises because he likes it when people like him. And he doens’t follow through because he’s stupid, cheap and an asshole.

Calumny! That was a clerical error; the only rolled corn snack that ever put me in the poor house was Dynamitas.

“despite having a launch that clearly was not ready!”

Let’s see if I’m still in the greys, or if I’m legit finally.

I’m thinking I can live with this.

Thanks for your work to make this better. The site is still annoying. Garbage sponsored posts take up space while excellent features (A Very Special Episode, Together Again, etc.) are pushed off the home page, to say nothing of reviews getting the boot. There is a big old thread above of people talking about how they…

That’s because they took about 15 steps backwards all at once and then have the nerve to thank us for patience while they inch forward at a glacial pace. There is literally nothing better about the site now than a month ago. Of course we’re going to bitch... And ironically your comment isn’t even visible to most…

I mean, did you honestly expect a different reaction? This wasn’t a standard redesign where people just got annoyed with change. The redesign cut a ton of features and launched with a clearly beta product. All the fixes mentioned above were super obvious and could have been done if the powers that be signed off on a…

More likely they fired the person protesting most loudly against the changes.

So, I’m completely disheartened about the decline of the commentary on this site. Especially after the dearth of participants last night. No amount of Kinda updating will fix the AV Club.  

Many thanks. It’s a nice improvement. Like letting me put up a Rita Heyworth poster to decorate my cell.

Nested. Comments.

Yeah, so it’s like not only is the website now completely unusable, it’s become a fucking hive of trollery. It’s really, really sad to see the downfall of the A.V. Club. I was in denial for a long time about the worst of the Kinjapocalypse, but it’s like everything everyone said is coming true.

Kinja has proven to be even worse then expected since it moves the comments with the most replies to the top. This creates a page with a vile troll like comment at the top because enough people replied to tell them they were vile. I don’t know what the solution is, maybe just try to reply as much as possible to other…

Two years later and I still can’t believe he’s gone. The fact that the author who basically singlehandedly shaped my way of thinking as a teenager and, partially, as a grown-up was still alive and active somehow was incredibly comforting. His death left some part of me hollow.

That’s why my theory was always that Arya was assuming LF was listening in on the confrontation with Sansa, and dropped that line about the pretty dresses hoping that LF would take it literally but that her sister would pick up on the subtext.
