Holy shit, guys, this was the best. Like, PLL has been on top of its game in this half of the season (which makes it a shame that AV Club dropped it out of regular coverage again), but this episode was something else. A is really the only appropriate grade.

This is transcendentally bad. The only possible reaction is to gaze at the screen with wonder. Nothing Miley does will ever approach this.

Well, I think that's less a problem of Todd and more a problem of how this episode is about a subject I dare guess all AV Club reviewers would feel a personal connection to, therefore they would all experience it in a different way than someone who's never done this sort of thing.

That's dark. That child will break a record in speed of developing eating disorders if the dress doesn't fit.

I'm offended by how much hotter he is when dirty and bearded.

Funny, I thought she actually toned it down in this episode somewhat.

i've agreed with Todd's grades the past few seasons, this one has been much more flawed than the A- grades might suggest, but that's his opinion. It might be for intensely personal reasons, but if you like something, you like something and I don't really think you should automatically lower the grade to a C just to…

Seen Ulver in concert on Friday, which was predictably awesome.

I like Jessa more because she has actual charm that Agustin lacks so far and that charm is why people always fall for her bullshit. Also the show takes a honest look at just how fucked up she is, which isn't happening here so far (and who knows, maybe he's much less fucked up, but so far, he comes off the same…

I define bad by absence of good, which… well, there was Martha's clone, but that was about it.

I'd say engaging story with flaws > boring story without flaws. Objectivity is overrated.

Gridlock is pretty great. I wasn't bored by The Idiot's Lantern either. I'd nominate the Sontaran two-parter for the most boring RTD-era episode. Also Planet of the Dead, but I turned that one off like ten minutes in, so perhaps it got better.

The horribleness of the monster part of Love and Monsters also always overshadows how great Camille Coduri was in that episode.

I haven't seen Torchwood, but perhaps what they meant was that they would establish a dynamic between the two in the series so that them ending up together would not be out of nowhere in End of Time?

I liked both the two-parter and The Idiot's Lantern a lot.

She's the worst and hasn't even been funny for the better part of this season.
At least she got a few quotable lines tonight.

Jessa has consistently been the best part of this season.

I thought they stopped paying for Hannah's rent ages ago? Or did I miss something.

Speaking as a guy living in Prague who only has a faint idea of what The Real Housewives actually entail, I predict the result would be a Lovecraftian horror so disturbing it would break the universe and prove there is no God, only cold, black space.

It was pretty weird that the Caroline thing didn't come back this episode.
