Well, Death is written by Gaiman. Though I actually didn’t really get into it.

I have yet to read his JLA run, but there’s some appearances of Sandman characters in DC, but I know they were generally approved by Gaiman, and when they weren’t, Gaiman got mad (Captain Atom.)

But I have seen it mentioned that Vertigo has “better” creator contracts than normal DC stuff, so are we totally sure about this? I know Grant Morrison said this a few times.

She had some spin-offs already, they aren’t genius but they’re pretty fun.

There’s been some new Lucifer series since the original run ended, so I have no idea what the status of those characters are at this point. Maybe he’s solving the murder of the physical therapist or something.

As if there hasn’t been years of Sandman spin-off comics. Books of Magic continued well past the Gaiman miniseries, The Dreaming had like a 60 issue run, etc? And besides Lucifer none of it was too essential stuff (especially the random stuff like Thessaly or Dead Boy Detectives.) I’d like to be excited about this but…

Lost was great, and I loved all of it, but I am baffled that anyone would do a “what’s better, Lost or The Wire” when the two shows have almost absolutely nothing in common for comparison.

Yeah but The Wire is better than a lot of that “peak TV” you’re talking about. And I’m not even crazy about The Wire. But it’s pretty unique, and extremely “current”, whatever you define that as.

Yes, or in other words, “not that many episodes” when put up against the five full seasons of the series. I don’t consider like 15% of episodes to be “that many.”

I think what he expects is for the headline not to spoil the show, regardless of the number of years it’s been finished. Everyone on this site knows that many people every day are still discovering shows like this, and it’s only been available streaming for a short time compared to how long its been off the air.

Before it was streaming, the only way to see it was buying the DVD set, a DVD set of a show with low ratings that was a cult favorite. That is why I said “obscure up until everyone decided to start spoiling it”, because before the ease of streaming, you had to go out of your way to watch it (which I did, I bought the…

Is everyone seeing a different article than me? It says his character dies in the actual headline. It was on the main page. Any regular AV Club user, or even casual user, can’t miss it. The spoiler in this case is basically not optional, which is the issue here.

Uh, I never do this, but...you ok?

...it’s the headline on the front page of the site.

No. Statute of limitations is common sense about if the thing you’re spoiling is some sort of universal knowledge or not, or some sort of cult TV show that many people haven’t seen.

Once you knew? I figured you were supposed to know that was the inciting incident from the moment it happens. It’s not supposed to be a surprise.

I disagree it was one-note. It balanced a few notes, humor (dry, silly, macabre, etc), suspense, scariness, warmth, etc.

It goes somewhere in my best list. It’s amazing they could do stand out episodes in season 11, and this one makes it feel like anything is possible. If only it wasn’t almost over.

God this was so fucking good. The season premiere is like 1000 miles away at this point. I’ve loved each episode since, and this one was like a great masterclass in visual storytelling and sound design and editing, something the premiere botched in every possible way.

That’s odd. The ones I went to were overflowing with tons of great stuff. Me and my friends rented multiple movies a week for years. And most of this stuff is not streaming today (a lot of weird horror, etc.)
