My first thought as well, “the Wordplayer guy??” A great site with legitimately helpful columns. I always felt a tinge of pride when they were on the rise because of the site and I felt like I knew them back when. Now though? Ugh. 

I think most people around him know what he does/who he is. The secret identity is part of his public persona but those who are around him have been heard calling him by his first name (apparently, Robin). He also strikes me as a guy who lives fairly modestly so as not to raise a ton of suspicion in his area.

My college would bring in bigger acts and sell tickets for a significantly reduced cost to students. (Full price for non-students.) So it is not totally out of the realm a system like that could work for bigger acts than your average college act.

Hasn’t this essentially been the case in all sports where replay has been introduced? And we always have a cycle where writers complain about it?

I wish they played it more straight/naturally to really maximize the absurdism in the script.

I think it’s fair to be concerned if a big corporation is gonna ruin your favorite brew and/or limit choice down the road. Michiganders freaked out when Shorts sold 19.99% of their company to Lagunitas (and to a lesser degree when they started distributing outside Michigan). But it turned out to be for nothing (so…

What documentary is that? That’d be an interesting scene to see play out.

She also had the unenviable position of having to work off of Christensen’s Anakin. Either because of lack of skill or just being written into the corner, it’d be hard to make anything work with that. I always found her scenes away from him weren’t that bad.

There’s also this: http://collider.com/star-wars-reys-parents-answer/

What’s a good time travel story without a time loop and impending paradox? I hope it’s not all on the station but would like a couple episode where they galavant across space before going back to present day.

Jeph Loeb already said they’re doing pods. Sounds like 2 instead of 3 this year—this arc being 10 episodes.

I hope it’s a test balloon to see if there is an appetite for other series. Love to see some other shows get the same coverage. Though I guess it’s a tough choice between covering an older show vs a newer show that could drive more traffic.

To be fair, the death of TV Club Classic is on us. Nobody read it. I remember (with a few exceptions for some shows) writers basically begging in the stray observations sections for people to read it more. It was one of my favorite features but wasn’t meant for this world.

To be fair, Britten is a camera man for local sports teams—a far cry from a fancy producer. That’s a fairly middle-class job (average salary is ~60k and is mostly freelance).

Easy to assume Brandon wouldn’t have shown up angry if he knew that Lyanna had gone willingly and was not abducted. Bran was right—the course of events that started it (Brandon being upset at an abduction) was false.

For me, if that splash on the AVClub.com landing page was on every subsection I’d find it easier to navigate to the content I want to see (reviews, features, etc.)

Feedback on the front-page:

I think her arc over the last couple years has turned her into her mother: she'll do anything to protect the Stark name and the North. She's the most politically talented Stark (kind of like Cat), and understands that different tools are needed for different problems (unlike kill'em all Arya, or Jon's undying need to…

Nah I'd have the staff on my side.
