Yes. And despite all their rage, they are still just rats in a caaaaaaaaaaaaaaage. 

You make a good argument regarding the death penalty. It really can't be one of those things you're against unless the convicted individual is just really, really bad. I guess that in the end I do support the death penalty, but with a lot of conditions in place. For what it's worth. 

Thanks. And I suppose you’re right. I don’t have anything against the new writers and the constant stream of negativity in the comments must be discouraging. Feedback is one thing, but constantly comparing the new people to the old guard is not very helpful. They’re keeping the site alive; that’s a good thing even if…

It's weird, though. They adamantly refuse to ungrey people and seem to have nothing but disdain for us, and yet we keep coming back. For me, it's inertia. I've been reading the AV Club daily for decades at this point. I can't quit it. 

I’m super pissed about that poor woman in Tennessee. Jesus. Her poor family. Her poor students. Usually I'm fairly anti-death penalty, but if anyone deserves it, this piece of human scum they caught red-handed does. 

Zack Handlen is MIA, Patrick. Let it go. There will be no review. 

Okay, let’s say you’re Olivia Wilde. You’ve directed a film, which in all fairness makes it “yours” in Hollywood. But you have two young, red-hot stars in your movie as the leads. Do you:

Now the AV Club is just trolling its readership with this stuff, and I am totally here for it.

Guys do that. I don't understand why we do that, but we do it. 

Fair. I was just so in love with the concept that I probably didn't even notice what was onscreen. 

Nick fucking Kroll is in this? I like the guy, but why? 

“It basically promises yet another crushing yet thrilling experience courtesy of Swift’s lyrical expertise.”

I don’t know exactly when that occurred, but for me MASH ends after Season 3.

Can’t believe I’d ever miss Disqus, but here I am. In the greys. Missing Disqus.

The real crime here is when they started giving Alan Alda creative control, am I right? 

I think we found Tiffany Haddish's Kinja account. 

I was the guy on the Ill Communication cover! I didn't see you at the convention. Maybe next year? 

Who will play Captain Holy Roman Empire? 

Wow. It would be bad enough to just ignore the raping, but to actually joke about it? Not the best look.
