Wow a Bracket reference! Loved that one record with Why Should Eye, but live they basically wished they were in REO Speedwagon. Didn't work.

OMG the demos. I wasn't feelin the polish on this, but the demo record is totally what I wanted.
I may be the rare person that was disappointed by the very end. It felt like a cheap way out and a bit cliche. I've expected a bit more creativity from this show…
I'm dying for something like this to be a big thing. Anyone catch the line "you're alone in a room talking to yourself" in the library?
I'm ok with this season so far, but unless the cop is a ghost, or some merging with past seasons starts to unfold, this is a tremendous step down from season 2.
Chief is a ghost, or an alien, or something and that's gonna make or break the season.
Jim Ward is the George Harrison of ATDI. You don't exactly notice him given what is around him, but without him all is lesser.
When I first saw them they were opening for knapsack. Def post-hardcore, but back then those all shared the same stages.
Man I loved Fig Dish so much. I interviewed Blake for my zine back in HS, and he was one of the funniest people I'd ever talked to, and he turned me onto Kleenex Girl Wonder (who I also still love to this day), who are sadly not mentioned in this article.
Does AV Club seriously not even have the staffing to announce the end of reviewing something? And maybe not the funds to finish a season? Sigh. Time to start looking for a new site for these things. The music reviews dried up long ago, the recaps replacing reviews are just a vehicle for comment traffic, now they just…
The second that Brooke (one of my all time favs btw) won LCK with that rough looking soup, something felt off and that an inevitable Brooke winning it all moment was coming. This is the first time I've ever questioned the integrity of this show.
I liked this ep and the show, but that was def not worthy of the elusive "A".
That is a VERY good take right there. They need an editor.
I'm still sticking to the perspective that they built an awesome "real world" and that the best stuff on this show is the hack, the fallout, the FBI hunt, and the actual power games. Each time that Elliot's 4th wall audience manipulations or this stuff like tonight happen, I get disappointed because that seems so much…
I now realize that I've been invested in this show because of the dystopia / capitalism / EvilCorp deterioration themes, and and much less interested in Eliot / Mr Robot as a character. All of this illusion stuff has been a distraction from the other plot narrative, and tonight was a full betrayal of that. Prob done…
Am I the only one uncomfortable with the idea of two narcissistic white guys joining forces to take out a powerful black woman in power?
It seemed like music reviews stopped flowing in any meaningful way over a year ago too. I'm imagining TV Club is the only truly profitable section, with the zeitgeist criticism dramatically outpacing niche, so reductions would make sense but are a bummer for people hungry for breadth.
Better than I could have stated it.
It's interesting how you celebrate Tina. She was clearly the polarizing figure on this whole show then. She is 95% of why I stopped watching Togetherness since she seemed so TWO dimensional and cartoonish compared to the others in season 2. Glad others had a different experience, but I'm personally glad that the…
Same. I cried more in this than anything since Friday Night Lights was on.
