Really, really going to miss this column. It’s the last of what the AV Club used to be like. Very excited for your Age of Heroes column next!

Oh wow... that’s just... I mean... I really miss Disqus :(

Yeah, but you’ll regret giving up the animation rights.

Farhad Manjoo is a self-important stick-in-the-ass and so are you.

The Milkshake Duck tweet is a better “Black Mirror” than all of “Black Mirror.” #HottestOfTheHotTakes

Still a better name than Sheev “the Senate” Palpatine.

Did you miss the 40 minutes of things happening?

My issue with season 4 is that they went to the “Person’s Consciousness Uploaded to...” well a few too many times. U.S.S. Callister, most of Black Museum, and even Hang the DJ (in a much more pleasant way) centered on people (or copies of people) trapped outside of their bodies, at the complete mercy of others,…

it’s the second I didn’t like at all. too goofy to be anywhere near believable or relatable. In these things I’m always amazed how the people jump to doing the most fucked up things without at least a little more knowledge of what they’re getting into (valid for second episode also). It’s kind hard to feel anything…

And also, shouldn’t animal memories be different from humans? I mean, to me all poodles look pretty much the same, but not all humans.

Well, the episode itself established that you kind of had to go through hoops to get people to remember - smelling the beer, playing music... How exactly do you get a guinea pig to give up it’s memories? Give it some carrot sticks? Not to mention that they figured it out before the play was even over.

I cracked up at McPoyle’s “Oh my fuck!” when Nanette slapped Daly.

The ending—Nanette raising her eyebrows while sitting back in the Captains chair—was genuinely exhilarating. A team of office workers, lead by a fierce yet plucky coder, traveling literalized cyber space and telling gamerbros to fuck off would be my jam.

It’s almost as if taste is subjective.

I like how you think being intellectual is a bad thing.

yeah, that was rough. Again, could’ve chopped a solid 30 minutes off this. That entire first story was simply pointless to the episode or plot. They could’ve actually shown 5-6 items with 5-minute stories attached to them. That would’ve been way more fun.

Well.. Maybe not the National Mall, but maybe we can arrange a kiosk at the struggling Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, GA.

Just binged it. The ‘twist’ in this episode was really just bad. I wish she had gotten away with everything she did, but there was something at the end of it all to constantly remind her.

You say that now, but what if I told you the person whose record Han beats in the Kessel Run was actually Snoke, who later sustained his injuries attempting to reclaim the record, causing him to vow a long, slow revenge on the Solo family?

My main concern is Han’s lone gunslinger archetype kind of fundamentally eschews backstory. He won his ship gambling? Cool! That’s what kind of guy he is. I don’t actually need to see it. Nor do I need to see the gold dice Luke grabbed in LAst Jedi that he’ll invariably hang in the cockpit.
