Unbelievable that this airs in little more than 3 weeks and they’re STILL shooting. I hope everyone is prepared for an absolute shit-show of a season.

Persona 5 is also on my list, but that’s a game I will absolutely finish eventually (maybe once I’m done the equally time-consuming anime-friends-management fun of Three Houses.) For me though, my biggest list of unfinished games is all of the wonderful CRPGs I’ve bought over the years. It’s one of my favorite genres,…

Props to your true crime acumen, but I read this and had a weird tug of confusion thinking, “I know about the Toolbox Killer, but that Bittaker name doesn’t sound familiar...” A quick google reminded me that I was in fact thinking of the Toy Box Killer— I had totally forgotten they were different— and how absolutely…

Just take my damn money please I want it.

A day later I am shamed to read that I wrote “stock” when I meant “stalk.” I must have soup on the brain.

This. I don’t know if you mean uncooked even, but as someone who grew up working on a farm corn season was always my favorite, and boy was I surprised to find that raw corn right off the stock is arguably even more delicious then cooked. Granted, we used to get pretty high in the corn field, but I stand by the…

Boy, these reviews got harder and harder to read as the episodes went on. I’ve found that some A.V. Club reviewers tend to get stuck maligning a random gripe they have with the show they’re writing about, and in this case the constant whinging about how little wrestling was in this season became insufferable. What do…

Fresh ripe tomatoes, man. Heirloom if you’ve got them, but a garden fresh tomato in a BLT kicks the shit out of one with a store-bought tomato any day. Just thinking about slicing up one of those ugly-beautiful tomats from my grandmother’s garden and assembling a BLT has got me drooling all over my keyboard.…

I’m in agreement with a lot of the commenters that I think this episode is better than a C+, and that I (mostly) like the direction of the Sam/Justine story. I like Sam and want him to remain relevant to the show. Which actually brings me to my main issue with the perspective of these reviews: I like watching this…

LaToya, I like your reviews, even when sometimes they still need a better editing pass before they hit the page (I know turnaround on these streaming reviews must be brutal). But please, for the love of god, erase the phrase “the x of it all” from your lexicon. The number of times it’s been used in these reviews,…

“The Taylor Swift of Literature” Very edgy click-bait dude. Catcher is fine, and understandably obnoxious if you can’t separate the fact that Holden sucks from the idea that he’s supposed to. All of his other books, however, are wonderful and read nothing like Catcher. This is a dumbass title.

Sucks so much that we will probably never get Bubbles. The script is goddamn wonderful.

More so that I just wasn’t sure what the point was, and that I disagreed with some of his broader takes. His subsequent response did leave me feeling that the article was mostly pointless though.

I’ll take glib, snarky, and accurate over petulant “well actually” nerds any day. And I’m a huge Lynch snob.

I suppose that’s an interesting question, and I’d contend this is one of the best examples of it that we have. Your perspective throughout the article just had me scratching my head wondering, “what’s he trying to get at?” So if this was just an evaluation of superhero satire on TV and in movies as it stands in 2019,…

I don’t disagree with most of the criticisms of this episode in relation to the series as a whole, particularly how various character and plot threads have been left hanging to move the A plot forward, but goddamn was this a good episode. I thought that the Syd/Gabrielle/Kerry/Cary thread was some of the weaker stuff…

I don’t think we’re supposed to forgive The Deep for assault, or feel bad that he got stuck in middle America. I think the Pathos lies in the (decently seeded) realization that he’s actually not meant to be around PEOPLE, it’s the sea creatures that he actually loves and understands. Which I thought was actually…

I’m really not sure I understand the point of this article. “The show was often better than the comic, but in doing so became less potent as satire?” Is that something I should value more than enjoying a show? Don’t get me wrong, I had some problems with the series (most notably the dangling threads left by the…

Came here to say this as well. Frost and Lynch wrote it all in succession and only in editing did they actually define the “episodes,” from what I understand. Egregious omission, no doubt about it.

Hannibal is a close second, but my answer would definitely be Twin Peaks: The Return. I can understand how some might argue that it’s less a “final season” than a revival of sorts, but it’s also one of the most interesting and creative seasons of television ever. It gave us some closure (god bless Norma and Ed) and…
