Thank you for answering my question. The coattails effect and the midterms turnout drop is real and my worry was that you might be one of the people who didn't realize that because the Presidential election sucks up most of the attention. I might disagree with the way you voted but good for you for taking the time to…

Part of the reason we're in such deep trouble is that the Democrats lost many Senate, House and other downballot seats and so they can't be a effective check on the president. We lost the Supreme Court and keeping Obamacare was a huge uphill struggle. So even if the state is a lock for the presidential election, I do…

How did the downballot races go?

Since we're on the topic of comedy and discussing how Nazis should be treated, either violently or non-violently:

Uh, I didn't get that impression that it was to be taken literally. I identified with the desire to yell into a cake when the world sucks. As a joke, it's a subversion of the not as punchliny resist, donate, and rally common sense advice.

Don't go into a Facebook argument (or AV Club argument for that matter) with the idea that you're convincing the person you're arguing with. Your aim is to convince the onlookers and you have a better chance of doing that if you seem calm, rational and intelligent. I find that trolls tend to gishgallop and throw up…

I thought Cara Delevigne acquitted herself well but they needed a Harrison Ford/Nathan Fillion-type to pull off the dialogue that they gave DeHaan.

The movie is fun except for every time that Dane Dehaan and Cara Delevigne talk to each other. They work surprisingly well talking to other characters.

I realize that this is me succumbing to this new low in discourse but now I want Donnie Lardass to challenge someone from CNN into a real ring. I bet even Mika would completely pummel that walking heart attack.

It's overrated for its supposed uniqueness. It felt more like coloring differently within the lines rather than doing anything really new. And people like it for that. It's fine. Shrug.

I did like that part. That was a reprieve. But everything inside of the ships, including the joke of childlike Groot murdering a lot of people that struck me as a very conventional joke, just left me looking at my watch. It was just really long because you need a compulsory long fight scene at the end of a superhero…

I was so bored through the thoroughly conventional ending battle of Guardians of the Galaxy so I don't see how that broke out of the punch-and-explosions mold at all. And then Ronan realizes he just has to push his throttle harder to break through the barrier and I gave up caring.

Zack Snyder has a story credit like Christopher Nolan has a story credit for Man of Steel. Do we think Christopher Noland worked very hard on Man of Steel? I get the impression that Nolan got it by dint of vague outlines and then stepped back. And this interview discusses the convoluted ways writing credit in Wonder…

Hmm, I figured the opposite. That they were worried that homosexual sex would hurt them with a conservative leaning audience. The writing for this pair has always fronted the emotional arc so it hasn't felt to me like it could lead to a sexually exploitative stunt. What I'm looking for also doesn't have to be…

That's a good question. I like Maggie as a character, not just as a love interest, so I would like her to be handled respectfully. I would be upset if her time away occurred because of a big argument, infidelity or death. When Chris Pratt spent time away from Parks and Rec to film for Guardians of the Galaxy, Andy…

You and the others have sort of convinced me that this is to be expected and no non-lead actor nor showrunner should expect to lock each other in for a long time (Lead actors seem to be locked in for 6 to 7 years). But how it plays out can feel a lot different because characters aren't interchangeable to audiences. I…

On Twitter, Lima said it was a one season role from the start. I don't blame the actress. I blame the CW for what looks a lot like playing both sides, ie. taking the credit for introducing the character and storyline but not promising the actress job stability.

I really really want parity at this point. Maggie and Alex have had such a chaste relationship on the show. Off the top of my head, Kara and Mon-El have been shown snuggling in bed twice and Winn and Lyra have been heavily implied to be having sex everywhere. It would also be an opportunity to put Chyler Leigh in more…

I'd say they were pretty much in the background for most of the second half of the season. Especially next to Mon-El eating up most of the screen time.

Gah. I was happy for like 5 minutes after the finale at the prospect of no Mon-El and finally having more Alex/Maggie screen time. Good job writers. How did you think this was only going to be a one season storyline?
