Bill Maher upsets the shit out of AV Club writers and commenters. I can’t quite figure it out. It’s probably because, though liberal, he eschews a certain kind performative, oppression-obsessed rhetoric that people around here use to telegraph their right-mindedness.

Love this album cover. I’m glad the band is still around and doing their thing. The last album of theirs I purchased was Everything Will Be Alright, and it’s a good record.

I was used to life-and-death dramas like The Wire and The Shield. It was easy to watch Mad Men and think that very little was at stake. It was stylish and subtle, though, in a way that few TV shows have ever been.

The comments sections for those final seasons of Dexter were what hooked me on this place. By that time, most everyone was just hate-watching. The first 4 seasons, though, were killer, some of the best TV from the Golden Age that began with the the Sopranos pilot and ended with the Mad Men finale.

It sure was sad to see our old friend Bernie had turned into a walker. RIP, you paisley-shirt-wearing son of a bitch. 

TWD should stop introducing large groups of new characters when so many of the other characters on the show are still undeveloped. It’s hard to get a handle on who, exactly, these newbies are, and when they’re onscreen, I’m mostly bored and hoping to see some old familiar faces. 

Golden Hour is so great. It and Ashley Monroe’s Sparrow are my 2 favorite albums of this year, I think.

A Rush of Blood to the Head is better than any Radiohead album except OK Computer. 

Hearing Rebecca Traister squawk about power structures is always a load of fun.

Good username/comment synergy. 

He just got worse and worse as the series progressed. 

True. The Sopranos got it right about pretty much everything. 

“Is anyone as annoying as teenage Henry?”

He’s alive, but nearly all the other characters think he died.

Damn, I thought this was an A episode—full of surprises, and clever in its bringing together divergent plot lines. I haven’t enjoyed the show this much in years. And I’m glad Rick is still alive (even though weeks of promos all but promised he would die).

A similar thing happened for me when they made a Leave it to Beaver sequel in the 80's. The Beav grew up to be sadsack loser, as if all of Ward’s wisdom had eluded him.

I had forgotten she was in it. Chad Allen, too.

I remember an episode where the girl wanted to be an astronaut, and Wilford Brimley, trying to encourage her, said, “See those stars up in the sky? One day, you’ll be walking around on ‘em.”

The only problem with Bill Hicks’s comedy is that it isn’t funny at all. But I’ll watch the movie out of love for Linklater. 

I remember thinking this guy was in his 70's back when i would watch him on that TV show with Marlena from Days of Our Lives. That was over 30 years ago.
