Couldn’t agree more, five seasons is really the best. Seven is more the limit, especially for drama.

I think the sweet spot for a good show is typically five seasons.

What also makes the final season retroactively tough to watch is the sheer impracticality of the feel-good, wrapped-up-in-a-neat-little-package fates of all the characters.

Hot take: I couldn’t stand the final season and the time jump ruined the verisimilitude of the show. Time jumps into the future are tricky to me, mostly because they always end up turning the show into science fiction or speculative fiction. Holographic phones in Parks and Rec were just too much. That and all the…

also that its connection to pop culture is so tenuous i worry that a moderate breeze will break it and send it floating off into the power lines, and then we’ll never get it down

I was hoping the AV Club would ignore this click-baity story, bearing in mind the rise in mental health disorders, including social anxiety, and the increasing lack of affordable homes for anyone under the age of forty.

How? Cera was there, they were dating, Cross believed that Yi would have confided in Cera that she was upset.

He and Cera work together and have known each other for years. Asking him is perfectly logical: If he had indeed acted exactly as Yi described, his relationship with Cera would have been affected.

“I asked one other person I know who would have witnessed the incident” isn’t a shit move, it’s perfectly reasonable.

Also, as he mentioned above, it’s hard to do an irony-heavy character when not everyone is in on the joke or knowledge. Twitter being what it is means that necessary context is nonexistent when all you have is 280 characters, which is why his initial responses to the Charlyne Yi controversy (another good example of…

“Gonna be honest—if you find yourself constantly having to explain to people that despite what they just heard you say,”

But that’s not what’s happening. People are continually calling him racist based on one incident, reported years after the fact, that they lack all the information on, that they don’t have film or…

I liked Blade Runner 2049 way better then the last 2047 entries in the franchise

It’s almost like Obama isn’t the progressive scion that we wanted him to be.

Maybe he’ll have more luck ‘brainwashing’ children to be ‘civil, thoughtful and educated’ via Netflix than he did under his eight years as President.

“Strength and unity through bailing out the banks and increasing drone warfare”

Nope, not ‘trying’ at all. Just a progressive observer who has never been infatuated with the Obamas. 

Funny you say that, because many residents in that area are concerned that his new Presidential library will dramatically increase residential and business renting prices, and Obama pretty much laughed it off. It’s almost like Obama isn’t the progressive scion that we wanted him to be.  http://time.com/5281158/obama-li…

Ok, cool. Meanwhile Jimmy Carter is still participating in Habitat for Humanity, running an organization that independently monitors voting results, and teaching Sunday school in his 90s. Between this, and Malia’s previous internship with the Harvey Weinstein, the Obamas seem pretty focused on Hollywood stardom right…

Various things that were always B+:

more importantly where was it implied that any review would be objective?
