It works because it doesn’t feel like a typical comedy. Things aren’t wrapped up neatly in a few minutes. It has a longer arc. We aren’t getting 20 episodes so they need to spin their wheels for 10 of them and we get an episode about Jack’s tattoos. It’s like a Netflix or Hulu show that happens to be on a network.

Damnit, AV Club, I was all ready for a fight and you went and put the Good Place, the best television series of the year, in first place. I can’t argue with this. This show is amazing because it gets little details right and doesn’t try to drag out mysteries for 20 episodes. It deserved to win on the “Jason figured it…

This is like someone from the south saying “Bless your heart”, when they really mean, “you’re an idiot” right? Because he’s the pope he can’t say “You’re all going to Hell and I’m telling Jesus.”

True. Some of my conspiracy-theory is leftover from my original idea that they were going to let him be in power to pass some God-awful piece of legislation then get rid of him quickly. (Which does look like it’s coming to pass.) I still see him pushing Pence under the bus. In fact, you can see him laying the seeds…

I’ve always used this phrase, or some version of it. Like “steering into the skid.” Mostly because my real name is super embarrassing, so i was told “lean into it, and you’ll be ok.”

He should lean into it, and call it Readier Player 1 where it’s not all about 80's nostalgia, it’s a REBOOT of all the 80's nostalgia. Instead of quoting Monty Python, he has to quote stranger things. There’s a ton of Fuller house stuff in there.

One of three things is going to happen.

The first 2/3rds of this book is a wonderful examination of how nostalgia might be treated in a society where we start to worship it. An outsider who is looking at pop culture through the lens of a man who would have been an outside when he was consuming it.

For the record, Netflix, I was looking for movies about sexy mermaids as research for an article I’m writing.

“And, oh yeah, Carl gets bitten by zombie. At least I think it’s zombie. It would be weird to find out that it was just some random Savior, but the fact that a walker managed to dig its teeth into his torso and break the skin without getting any flesh.”

I can’t wait to see what part Christopher Plummer plays in this!

This one looks like the lightest episode of the season so it’s going to be the darkest, right? Like, halfway through Charlie Booker is going to personally come to my house, punch me in the stomach, and get my parents to tell me they don’t love me.

Few Few! Few! Those are laser sounds, right?

I’ve long defended the DC movies, but in all honesty, the DC TV Series are the best. Seriously, Crisis on Earth X was better than some of the Avenger movies. Just fun Superheroness. It’s about Nazis from another dimension, and what happens to said Nazis when they try to Nazi up a superhero wedding. This is the…

This preview misses the big reveal: as of December 15th, The Star Wars saga and the Fast and the Furious Saga will be tired in number of movies. Finally the two greatest cinematic triumphs in history will have more in common, besides a character name.

Or in your mountain fortress where you interrogate the good guy and then explain your plans for blowing up the moon.

“The button on his desk that locks the door” is probably your first sign that he’s an eye patch away from going on full on Bond Villain. What’s the work order for that even look like “I need a button that locks my door for... reasons...”
