My young daughter used to fire up Burnout Paradise and pretend she was dropping her kids off at school, then driving to work. She obeyed all traffic laws. It was infuriating to watch.

Eh. It was funnier when he was disproportionately enthusiastic. Having now critiqued a 15 second commercial on the internet, my sad mundane purpose in life is also complete.

I will rely admit to giggling at some of Maloy’s car jokes. I know they were dumb, but I’m easily amused.

That’s fine, but I agree that it doesn’t feel like an actual ship full of people, like even the Shenzhou did. None of the bridge crew has any sort of personality.

While I get what you’re saying, I think Zack has a very good point here.

For better or worse, Star Trek: Discovery is part of a much larger franchise. And for the show to make constant references to Star Trek’s mythology while simultaneously ignoring or rewriting other parts of that mythology is hardly “seeing what…

Yes, a pop culture journalist writing a round-up of stories that have been put into the public domain by the victims themselves is entirely equivalent to a serial sexual predator who has unrepentently abused the people he has power over.

Are you fucking kidding me, scumbag?

He’s a screenwriter. That’s all he knows.

What if you don’t have any friends, smart guy?

“Thanks.”

Very cool.

People have been asking “how could someone work with Woody Allen, knowing what they know” for years. Someone who’s actually done so relayed his thoughts on it, particularly because one of the big discussions of the moment is why the film industry so readily turns a blind eye to abuse. There’s worth there.

Reasonable, rational comments like this are why I originally loved this sites commentariat, you’re doing the lords work

Non-parody does not mean non-humourous.

Are you saying the AV Club is insulated and out of touch about somethings?

Nooo I love the Dont Trust the B theme, it’s so short and weirdly catchy

The only one these I agree with is Star Trek:Enterprise. I really dislike that song. But I’d also argue it’s not a very good show, so the theme does actually fit pretty well.

You are the Britta of commenters.
