Is it just me, or did Jughead kind of stealth snatch the male lead position out from under Archie? He's the narrator, the emotional center, and as of this episode, the most invested in solving the Jason Blossom murder because he has the most to lose. I almost feel bad for KJ Apa, because he's a very handsome,…

It'd be nice, but they've so thoroughly ruined all the other characters that I like that I'd struggle to care about the show even then. I doubt that's going to happen though— Devon Bostick went on a 'tweet-and-delete' spree during the pre-season build-up that more or less confirms he will no longer be on the show…

Flagging ratings and a steadily diminishing online presence seem to disagree with you, but hey, to each their own.

Perhaps a bit more explanation; I enjoyed the show in Seasons 1 and 2, and Jasper was my favorite character. Then season 3 shat the bed so hard in terms of both plot and characterization that I found myself struggling to get excited for season 4. I held out hope, however, that perhaps the writers would learn from…

We're finally in the home stretch. Once Jasper dies, I can stop caring about this show forever, and watching him grind on everyone's last nerve is the one pleasure I can still derive from this meaningless grimdark mess. What sounds to you like nails on chalkboard is to me beautiful, harmonious music. Hurt them,…

I've been thinking a lot lately about why these kinds of stories work. I think a lot of it has to do with gap-filling; your mind asks "why?" Why does this game exist? Why wasn't it released? Who made it? Why's it haunted, or not-haunted-but-still-creepy? Unlike classic monsters or Lovecraft-ian horror, in which terror…

"All of it is for you" is the perfect summation of Breath of the Wild as an experience. So many games these days create vast, beautiful landscapes, while restricting you only to the tiniest part of it. "Look! We made this vast beautiful world," they say. "Isn't it pretty?" You look at the world. "It is!" you reply.…

Does Disney own all of Marvel or just the movies? Because I feel like this is a pretty big sign that it's about time to shutter the comics division. It's had a good-to-decent-ish run.

Stop trying to make Avatar happen. It's not going to happen!

This show is… a lot. There's just so much. If real people's lives were this insane and melodramatic, I think we'd all die of heart palpitations before age 30. Great TV though! I am loving every minute of this insane, so-far-over-the-top-it's-brushing-against-the-moon, weirdly beautiful, stupidly addicting show.

Is it just me, or is Evil Fitz kind of absurdly hot? The way he dresses, the way he carries himself, the fact that his beard in this world seems to be a conscious decision rather than a side effect of forgetting to shave… I'm just saying, the Doctor is welcome to examine me any day of the week, knowwhatimean? ;D

Filler is only bad if you aren't having fun. That's what I love about Breath of the Wild; 99% of the game is technically filler. You want to beat the game? Well, there's Ganon. Go kill him. And you can! With expert play and knowledge of the game's systems, you can beat Ganon in your underwear in about an hour. But you…

Raise your hand if you are sick of Tone-Deaf Television Main Character Syndrome, wherein we are given a handsome idiot we are supposed to sympathize with despite the fact that he basically does nothing but hurt the people around him out of stupidity or malice or sometimes both.

Jasper is basically the physical incarnation of my relationship with the show at this point. I am no longer capable of caring about any of these characters or their absurd, contrived, apocalyptic dilemmas. I'm just here to watch the shit hit the fan. When the end comes (ie; when Jasper inevitably dies), I'll welcome…

Well, it's hard to get TOO excited about this given that it sounds like he's gonna be spending most of the movie, you know, being dead, but I'm still happy for him. Grant is handsome and charismatic and a damn fine actor, and is a big reason why Flash remains watchable despite the subpar writing this season.

I'd just like to give a shout-out to the moment when the Four Divine Beasts finally fire on Ganon. To be totally honest, I'd almost completely forgotten about them until that point, but the rousing score and the quick cuts to each of them giving their one-liner and blasting him in turn… it felt good, even if it was…

How bad is it that the characters on Riverdale, an ACTUAL MELODRAMA, seem to lie to each other less than they do on The Flash, a show about psychic gorillas and people who can run back in time?

Pairing Jughead and Betty at this point is just economical writing. They seem to be the main two interested in actually solving the mystery so they spend practically all their free time together. Plus, they're kind of perfect for each other. Betty gives Jughead food, Jughead helps Betty break her sister out of…

Netflix really has a thing for nondescript one-word titles. Today alone, I've seen premiere trailers for "Bright," "Dark," and "Glow," which are, in order, an urban fantasy action-adventure set in Los Angeles and starring Will Smith, a small-town mystery thriller about the disappearance of a child set somewhere in…

Even if that's true, there's no reason to just waste the character or the actor. At the very least, Archie could easily play a supporting role to one of the ladies like Jughead seems to be doing. It looks like B and V are going to start having separate adventures, so maybe Archie can be Veronica's mystery buddy.
