I am legitimately impressed that an entire summer preview is centered around a reboot of the Leprechaun movies. All the gold to you, AV Club writers. You are silly.

I would put it at 10/1. The Black Keys are still a popular band critically, but many portions of the public don't like them because they had one song in a commercial, thus making their entire output suspect or something. OK, honestly, I have no clue why there's a Black Keys backlash. Every explanation I've heard is

Still got a lot of heavy hitters to come, including Frank Ocean (?), Kendrick Lamar, maybe another one by Kanye, Jack White, The Black Keys, The Roots, probably some I'm forgetting. Stupendously loaded year for music. I think St. Vincent has the early edge, but I would be surprised if that holds through to the end

My guess: Everybody at AV Club was having a kind of down day (Monday and all that stuff) and somebody was like, "Could we just do some Newswire article about The Simpsons and spend the rest of the day reading through the comment section?" And here we all are. Fun for everybody, from 8 to God only knows.

Lookin' forward to the gritty reboot in fifteen years.

That's some nice reckless driving, Mr. B.

Somehow, no cats yet.

Oh God.

I think 95% of us would have tripped in that situation. Running on snow? Having just seen the person you were making out with get gored by some prehistoric wolf headgear? Yeah, I'm not getting away.

Good to see Will is no longer getting sucked into Hannibal's games. Therapy is going much better this time around. No clocks being drawn, no seizures being forced, just a pure healing to go with a general prodding toward murder.

Ditto. I actually think it's an interesting premise, in the way that I think most "trying to explain away ghosts only to end up with a bunch of spooky shit happening" premises are interesting. Dichotomies are fun! Unfortunately, horror as a genre is rife with interesting premises that do not turn into interesting

Sweet, now we can buy all the food that we were too ashamed to put into our actual, physical grocery carts.

At least we know Snyder is capable of juggling multiple characters in a nuanced, interesting way.

All Miley Cyrus does is wear skimpy clothing and get high. Go to a random college campus and you can see a bunch of Miley Cyruses (Cyri?). She's harmless. Bieber, on the other hand, is probably going to start WWIII.

Finally, my fascination with Ancient Egypt as a ten-year old pays off in non-monetary fashion. Using a book order form, I had even bought myself a set of hieroglyphic stamps, but I was ten and left them lying around until the ink dried up. Why I never sought to procure another pad of ink, I'm not quite sure. Probably

I remember when Justin Bieber was just another innocuous teen pop star. Then all of the stuff listed in the Newswire article happened. I feel #blessed to see the transformation from innocuous pop star to general monster.

There's something entertaining just in observing the sheer volume of shit NBC throws at the wall as they hope for something, anything, to stick. Hey, here's a live version of 'The Sound of Music' starring Carrie Underwood! Here's some random thing about a bunch of veterans going to Antarctica with that guy from

Not necessarily, no, but realistically, yeah. His alliance isn't going to start gunning for him until after Spencer and Tasha are gone (unless they start getting REALLY nervous), and by that point there are five people left. Then, say Jefra/Trish/Kass turn on Tony, he uses the TP idol, whoever Tony and Woo voted for

With Trish, it isn't her strategic game that's impressed me, more that she is great at reading people and being able to legitimately use those reads. Not everybody can do that or is confident enough to do that—you have to be willing to confront people when you're seeing things.

I just keep coming back to one thing: What, exactly, has Tony done, other than flip to vote out LJ—and that was flipping to vote out LJ with little risk, given that the alliance would have the numbers even with him gone. Trish was more instrumental in the Cliff boot (rallying for LJ), Trish was much, much more
