Normally this would be the case, but - and I'm sort of surprised AV Club isn't mentioning this in their reporting - the network is losing all their original, expensive, scripted dramas after the Sinclair take-over; this is particularly important since the Sinclair group is eating up about 60% of local stations around…

That's what I took from it too. And look I get that tonally this is an absurdist comedy, just like 30 Rock, but a lot of what's funny about it is rooted in some sort of recognition for the viewer: "oh yeah that type" etc. But here, in the parody of college political correctness, there's just none of that, which is why…

I'm intrigued by your category of "potential men".

It's really grown on me in the second season. The first season had a lot of the usual cliches and tropes of alien invasion sci-fi, but this season (with the exception of the annoying teenage character) has really broken out of that format and into much more interesting territory. It refuses to be camp or ironic, which…

Yes that was in the NY Times article today.

Do you believe men and women should be treated as equal? If yes, sorry to say it but you're a feminist. If not, then I guess you're all good in your cozy bubble!

Yes that guy, what a wonderful performance! The utter vulnerability and charm he conveys is both adorable and heartbreaking and intriguing, all rolled into one. He'll go places, I think.

What an awful thing. My dad died 13 years ago and watching this now felt cathartic and beautiful. But at the time while he was dying it would've been too hard for sure. Hope you've got the support you need.

Look you're entirely right economically speaking; illegal immigrants are basically doing all the jobs no one else wants to do, and they do them for less pay which does drive down wages in general. And of course if you overstay your visa you can expect repercussions as a worker or tourist or visitor somewhere. But…

Really? On an AV Club message board? You think this'll fly? Or hurt anyone's feelings?

And that's good, though I hope people also try to direct their anger (and actions) against the guy who's actually engineering all this, i.e. Bannon. Trump is entirely driven by momentary impulses, but that guy has a plan, and the chaos of this weekend was part of it. Also, it's insane that I can write stuff like that…

I think the confusing thing is that people thought the problem with Uber was the whole thing around surge pricing during the protests at JFK (which for sure was evil), but the original reason #deleteuber started trending was that their CEO is on Trump's economic advisory council and has been supportive of him during…

I'm much more invested this season then I was last season. I guess partly because of changes in the real world (certainly the presence of evil red hats), but also because the story lines they set up last season are beginning to pay off. Sure, we certainly don't have answers to the sci-fi elements yet, about the nature…

Woah you've got the direction all mixed up there buddy.

I don't think that's true. There are absolutely, unexpectedly huge protest marches going on in very red, conservative parts of the US (alongside, by the way, enormous showings of support all over the world) today - that's a very significant statement to show 1) congressional reps, 2) senators, 3) voters, to make them…

I watch this show every week, never miss an episode. But I was incredibly uncomfortable with this one; basically, we got three stories of incredible husbands and the wives who let them down? Come on.

I don't know either but I assumed he maybe was at some special school or similar? Maybe either because he had challenges or he was gifted in some way. I could see that being a plot point moving forward.

I get your point, I really do, but I think what people like Lewis and others are trying to get across is not just "I hate him therefore he's not going to be my president" - they're saying he actually didn't lawfully win the election, which makes his presidency illegitimate in actual legal terms rather than "just"…

Sorry if lots of people have already commented this (I can't scroll down to see all the comments for some reason) - but it's Sloane, not Simone. And I'm on her team for sure. As for "why are people treating having triplets as bad news" - are you serious? Two lower-middle class people who are just starting out in the…

Finally watched all of Battlestar Galactica and the complete first two seasons of X-Files. Not sure how either escaped me until now.
