Please stop with the slideshows. PLEASE. AV Club used to be nice to read. Now it looks like the 10 million other sites on the web I immediately close the browser window on if I ever accidentally end up on them. You know the ones. The ones that say they’re gonna show you One Weird Trick.

Not that you guys care what someone who’s been reading this site for nearly a decade thinks but fuck off with the slideshows.

Thank you, yes.

AV Club has really gone downhill since Univision but this clickbait website artifical pageview/click boosting bullshit is REALLY bottom-of-the-barrel. Shame on whoever approved this absolute travesty. 

I'm really going to miss this show. Now that it's ending, I also kind of feel like a part of the "old AV Club" is gone for me as well. We used to invade the Adventure Time comments and talk about the show when AV Club for inexplicable reasons dropped it's coverage. From time to time I'd add my own stray

Came here for Sneakers, wasn’t disappointed. 

This show is so great and I can't wait for it to be back. 

Since everyone’s talking about if Picard sucks or not, I’ll chime in, why not. Zack’s got fair criticisms of the show, but if you’re an old TNG fan like me all the fanservice, additional grittiness, and old friends when they eventually show up do make for some lovely feels. It’s definitely got some weak writing and

I am chagrined that I mis-remembered the lyrics, it's LIE down on the couch! 😳😭

I saw this on twitter, had a little laugh, scrolled on, but thanks to you Andrew, I got some context on it and learned that Kate Messner is pretty cool! 

Please explain your conclusion, like honestly I’m not trying to keep this going I just wonder how you got from my word choice to “he is obviously deeply invested in this thread to the point that it’s a threat to his emotional equilibrium”

I was just trying to use the parlance of the youth. To “hang with the cool kids”

Hey aren't you the guy that refused to read the mild swears in FF7's dialog while doing a let's play? What're you gonna do now that the dialog is gonna be spoken, plug your ears?

My version of this headline: “Here’s a fascinating mini-doc about the making of hit game Myst.”

Very much looking forward to Zack's reviews but this was a great introduction, Danette!

Ain’t nuthin’ false bout this dichotomy fam. You say you’re here to engage with others on the subject of this wretched show, yet when faced with a distraction from that, with my admittedly unrelated to the subject at hand rant, what do you do? Ignore me and go on with your day? Participate in the nuanced and

Same goes for my comment. If you don’t agree with my assessment of AV Club’s current (lack of) editorial standards you’re free not to read it. Enjoy The Circle, and thanks for your input. Without sanctimonious pricks like you and I, it just wouldn't be the AV Club's comment section, would it.

There's a difference between 'trashy' and 'utterly bereft of artistic merit'
