See, this is what I wanted “ABCs of Beth” to be—even though I love the episode, and it’s heart-on-sleeve climax. This, however, feels far more graceful. Rick can’t outrun the people he shackles himself to, which is why he can go Tom and Jerry on the president. He doesn’t care about the president, but even if he can’t…

I’ve been working at the A.V. Club for years on the comic book side of things. We won an Eisner this year. Being a shitty gatekeeping nerd is asshole behavior and I don’t have to be nice about that.

Definitely right. MLA is on the TIF and is the one who pointed it out to me. It’s fake.

So I just watched the new Mindy Project episode and wanted to see what the AV Club thought about it. Sadly, they switched to a new site (I’m guessing recently) and it’s atrocious. Can’t easily find the review is my first complain. My second complaint is an auto-playing video in the middle of this article. I’m done. AV…

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

I agree with your sentiments about this episode, Gwen. This would be a weird and disappointing way for what has often been a fun, goofy show to end, but it might be for the best at this point. It has been trending in a disappointing direction and nothing in this episode hints at a course correction. Abigail has been a…
