Apparently they are making sure some episodes are released in May so it is Emmy-eligible. Which is fine though Ellie Kemper keeps getting robbed so I’m not sure there is really any point.

Can an article exist on AVClub without Prince Ruprecht the Monkey Boy performing his social progressiveness all over the comments?

What I find befuddling is that she executed her EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL. What in the ever living fuck? How can a person say they need this creature for emotional support and then murder it? Makes no sense. Fucking people.

To be real, if the hamster is small enough to be flushed down the toilet, it is probably small enough to just be hidden in her carry-on bag.

At what point do we consider the well being of the emotional support animal in this scenario? If someone cannot properly care for or protect their pet they have no business having a pet, therapeutic benefits or not. There are options such as medication and therapy to treat mental illness.

Looking at the story, it’s clear she supplied a bunch of pictures of the hamster, and then a fucking selfie. How dense can you be? Every comment I’ve read so far has been people seeing if she can be charged for animal abuse. I have a feeling she’s gonna have it tough for the next few weeks at least.

The article states she is enrolled in a university. One would hope she developed the minimum of critical thinking skills..... or just, you know, regular damn thinking skills.

That’s what kills me. She really thinks describing how terrified her pet was before she killed it is going to make people feel bad for HER.

And even if they did, so fucking what? Someone suggesting you should behave an abominably cruel manner doesn’t give you an excuse to do it.

What’s insane is that she must have called the paper with the story. How did she not realize that this made her look like a monster?

This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

I haven’t seen GoT but I don’t like brag about it. It just means I’m too cheap for HBO.

Judging by several comments here “I am not/have never been on Facebook” is the new “I don’t own a/don’t watch TV.”

Of COURSE it’s fucking Tracie Egan Morrissey.

The Shape of Water is del Toro - who as far as I’m aware is a sweetie - not Tarantino.

As a member of the kids-of-the-goddamned-hippies generation, I had carob and yogurt chips foisted upon me constantly in the 70's. Also: there is nothing quite like being promised pancakes for breakfast and then discovering that they were, in fact, buckwheat pancakes. I have never forgiven my mom’s awful significant…

deep malt-and-date flavor wasn’t actually so bad

Once you sell the rights to said book, it ain’t yours any more. If Gaiman was so protective of it, he ought to have funded it and shopped it around on his own.

You can trust Gaiman all you want, but it’s an adaptation. As far as I’m concerned, Gaiman’s lucky to have even been involved in what is essentially a separate work of art, driven by another artist’s interpretation and vision, in a medium vastly different from the one it’s being adapted from. And I’m someone who loved…

The first season already improved on the book, and I’m more of a Fuller kind of person than Gaiman (who’s a bit overrated to me).
