As someone who’s struggled with seasonal depression for years, therapy lamps make a huge difference for me. If you find yourself being sad/angry/lethargic/depressed during the winter months, I definitely recommend giving it a try (and reading the directions -- leaving it on all daylight hours is not recommended).

Not only did I happy-cry throughout the finale, reading this recap started me up again.
This was a nearly perfect show throughout. I’d be interested to see how its overall ratings stack up to other shows The AV Club has reviewed from start to finish.
I didn’t ever expect to have a sitcom stay with me the way The Good…
It never ceases to amaze me that Marvel can get the Daily Bugle feeling right — turning it into a blog, because that’s the future once or twice, aside -- while DC doesn’t seem to have any idea of how to make the Daily Planet seem like a real newspaper publication, even leaving the 1970s-era hilariousness of Clark and…
That’s giving him too much credit. He’d be hugely popular on Gab and 8/chan.
Lovecraft is well known among genre fans, but that’s still relatively recent. For most of the last century, he’s been fairly obscure. So, yeah, lots of older genre fans know this.
But people who are just coming to Lovecraftian themes through Darkest Dungeon or The Colour Out of Space movie or other modern entry points…
As the owner of elderly cats, I can confirm that they definitely prefer elevated food and water bowls.

Pretty sure white hipsters who aren’t taking improv classes* have all moved on to other shows.
* Caveat: Most white hipsters are taking improv classes
Neil Gaiman’s “George R. R. Martin is not your bitch” is the only useful celebrity thought on criticism I can think of and even that’s not a slam dunk.
When you get to a certain success level, a certain segment of celebrities(-ish) decide that punching down is awesome.
I think if Twitter has proved anything, it’s that stupidity is an endlessly renewable resource online -- especially on Twitter.
Alternate take: It’s useful to be verified on social media if you’re someone worth impersonating. (Note: Your ex wanting to fuck up your life by making a fake account does not qualify.)
Any asshole can write that they’re, say, the Associated Press’ White House correspondent in their profile. The blue checkmark tells…
The movie took a lot of liberties with an even better and more beloved (especially overseas) novel.
The source material has such good bones and the show creators are so good on this that I have a lot of confidence in the end result.
Oh, Chewbacca and some of the other characters not speaking Basic (I think) is definitely iconic. But if everyone has a universal translator, that raises the questions of where they are and why they’d need 3PO. (Narrator: No one needs 3PO.)
It just seems odd that the solution the Republic/Empire/First Order apparently…
Although there’s the question of why all the human characters understand the aliens, who in turn understand the humans, but the aliens are incapable of speaking it themselves, except for the rare times they remember what C-3PO is supposed to do.
Still, better than the gross racist caricature prequel aliens.

Good luck to everyone attempting to have sex with a badger, legal or otherwise.
Yeah, I’m not sure there’s much value in tweet responses, although they certainly appear to be cathartic for some folks.
While I think skepticism is always good, I wouldn’t be too dismissive of Twitter as a first-person news source.
The Ferguson protests, as seen on Twitter, were unfiltered looks at what was going on there, by the participants, and just following the hashtags gave a dramatically more accurate picture of what was going on…
Caveat on the “hey, why no link” stuff: Reporters live-tweeting often don’t have anything they can link to or know the URL yet (they’re busy in the field).
That said, if someone appears to be a reporter doing that, it’s worth looking at their Twitter bio and timeline to see who they work for and to see if they normally…
Just think out different television would have been in the 1990s if Dick Wolf’s initial career in porn had worked out.
