A large part that clearly has to do with Emily, who has deepened their
connection and done so with a refreshingly honest attitude

Please stop.

I can distinguish between "derogatory" and "critical." I also know that one can be both critical and derogatory at the same time.

Are you joking bro? AVClub is anything but respectful. I learned that after the very first innocent comment I ever posted, to a review of the show "Terriers":

From your responses, it sounds to me like you're not one of the people I've been describing then.

I gave it a half letter upgrade for the Joe Gideon reference alone. Bye-bye life!

I disagree—I don't think I am mischaracterizing the comments. I am simply summing them up.

The review and much of the commentary (usually the same people from week-to-week) is just another repetition of "How boring, they killed off another character just for the helluvit. Why do they have to kill off main characters so often?"

If only they were thoughtful or well-reasoned.

I swear to god this question shows up in one form or another in practically every comments section at some point. I'm beginning to suspect a conspiracy….

Haven't you figured it out yet? This show will never get good reviews and will always get a lot of shitty comments, no matter how good the episode is.

The two most groanworthy words ever spoken on any television show (and dredged up far too often): "My baby!"

An entire team of broadcasting professionals approved and will air a television series whose premise is based on some kid getting a slap in the face.

I was wondering how they were able to get Ally Sheedy from the year 1985 to play the part, then I remembered the show is about time traveling and I had my answer.

Oh my god, Ismene…thank you. I've only been saying this exact thing since season one of this putrefying shitstain of a show. It is obvious that after the first six episodes aired, the producers realized that they were sitting on a potential goldmine. They then surrendered creativity and wit in exchange for homogenized…

Not necessarily…maybe they know what the money is for/why it's there? Not sure the show has given the audience any way to answer that question yet…

I might be missing a few details here and there, but I believe that Katherine and Wynn Duffy hired Boyd to steal Buddy Garrity's safe deposit box, thinking he had $3 million stored there, when actually all he had stored was a bunch of deeds for property he had been helping Dillahunt buy up for some yet-to-be-revealed…

I love how to-the-point Peggy was with Stark:

How the fuck did they fit all of that into one single episode?

"I liked the premise a lot. I just wish they'd sat down and at the very
least outlined the entire season before they started filming. It's like
the writing room is filled with impetuous children constantly shouting,
"Hey, I have an idea!" and pouting if they don't get their way, so
everything is thrown in willy nilly.…
