If you ask most viewers, they'll say yes. If you ask AV Club regulars, most would say no. Make of that what you will.

Ron says the movie starts shooting in a couple of months, so Kevin could potentially do the play for quite a few more performances (and realistically, how long a run would such a play get?) before going to L.A.. Plus, it's the 21st century: A LA/New York relationship isn't the hardest to make work especially since…

I don't think that he'll die from drunk driving. Remember the Christmas episode which was set up in such a way as to more or less telegraph that Doctor 'K' would die but he survives at the end?

He did, but he faked it in bed. So it doesn't count.

But if his mother - who obviously meant a great deal to him- was buried in Pittsburgh and given his son's family and his partner both live out Northeast, he may have want to be buried there. Especially because it seemed like he hadn't been in Memphis since his 30s. Which is tragic because we know he had been clean for…

I think the big difference between this show and Parenthood - and the reason it's ultimately a superior show - is that Parenthood ended up repeating a lot of its story-line beats a little too often and they became stale. Although it had a fairly large cast, its storylines were (unsurprisingly) linear. In contrast,…

Always nice to hear from you Internet Troll.

More specifically, heroin. Which really did ravage sections of the African American community - especially the urban poor- in the late 1970s and 1980s:

The show's creator had an excellent point in a recent article thought that this is a show's whose protagonist - Jack - has never actually been alive. Most of the most affecting storylines occur in the past rather than the present, so I'm confident that we'll continue exploring William's character and his relationship…

I think it's just because as complimentary as the reviewer is to the show, "This is Us" doesn't have the hipster-Internet cred of the beloved AV Club shows, so it's graded along an extremely difficult curve which sometimes hurts it.

In one of the previews of the show, I read that Virginia Madsen plays the show's other 'designated survivor' from the legislative branch: http://deadline.com/2016/07…

Plus most people have some kind of breaking news app - WSJ, CNN, BBC- on their phone that would start spamming alerts when 99 percent of the political leadership of the world's lone superpower are blown up more or less instantaneously.

The son didn't seem that douchy: He was fine when talking to Mike and with his sister. If the show runners have any sense, they would have seen how bratty/insufferable teens can ruin good thrillers in particular (24, Homeland).

The TV show/conspiracy theory version of the U.S. military and its commanders and the reality are always worlds apart. Civilian oversight of the military is the central principle of American military organization and even generals that had immense personal popularity and that loathed the commander-in-chief such as…

Terrorists actually carry out a LOT of successful attacks in '24' - blowing up Air Force One, detonating a nuclear device in LA, taking over the White House, releasing a toxin in a hotel - it's just that Jack Bauer is there to stop their super-duper late season attacks.

He was also the Captain of Renly's "Rainbow Kingsguard" which I imagine had the same "bear no children and hold no lands" pledge as the original Kingsguard. So it's not like those vows presented any great burden to Loras.

I imagine that this will play out differently in the books: In the books, Robb wrote his political testament before the Red Wedding, legitimizing Jon and naming him the successor to Winterfell and as King in the North. The Sansa v. Jon dynamic is I imagine an invention of the show writers, because it's hard for me to…

I love how the Citadel, which is the heart of all knowledge in the Seven
Kingdoms, is the only part of Westeros where news don't arrive at the
speed of the internet. Whereas Littlefinger can magically appear and
re-appear in King's Landing, the Reach, the Vale, and the North, the
Citadel didn't know that Mormont was…

Were the Lords of the Vale who fought under Littlefinger also present at the Ceremony, or were those only the Northern Lords? Because it would make sense for them to be there seeing as they fought against the Boltons together and Littlefinger for once seemed to have made a mistake by publicly announcing (at least,…

Or the shock could be that Dany goes all Mad Queen and decides to turn on some of our favorite characters which I can see happening because at the point where we are at now, she has every possible advantage and enemies who have no real fighting power left, so the show/books have to throw a curve-ball in the fight over…
