i emailed the gizmodo help thingy email, and it took a couple days, but they did get me ungreyed! so thanks!

Back in ‘90s, when me was indie rock snob, me dismissed AC/DC as everything bad about cheesy, overblown rock. Eventually, me sat down and listened closely to Highway To Hell and now me put it on par with first Ramones record. Same crisp production value where you hear every instrument distinctly and every one pack own…

I would like to imagine the average cop responding as thus, “Uh, who cares? They’re taking food, not TVs.”

I can’t reply directly to threads because Kinja is terrible, but to natureslayer and that thread I would point out that Fred Rogers was a legitimate minister. He happened to be one of those rare American Christians who understood true Christian values, and I say this as a non religious person. Mr Roger’s Neighborhood…

He looks like he’s grabbing his own imaginary boobs in the photo.

Right-wing Christians are frequently the most un-Christlike of anybody. There’s more positive healthy useful and actionable modern-day life lessons in a random episode of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood than there is from a random book of the Bible.

I would argue that the “surprisingly rigid internal logic” some of the more vocal viewers demand from the show can be traced from the very strong emphasis placed on that logic by Martin himself in the books, which was carried over quite well in the earlier seasons. The more the show strayed from the books, the more…

It’s certainly less of a problem than Bran’s “I know everything except when I don’t”. There’s so many narrative get-out-of-jail-free cards with unexplained magic (including the Three Eyed Raven and anything the White Walkers do and ridiculously fast travel) that the whole plotting has shifted from a “X and Y did this,…

Yeah, but see, if you actually think about it, they knew the whole time! How? All it takes is me to project a whole bunch of inner lives and thoughts onto Arya and Sansa and Bran that completely contradicts the evidence presented. See, they didn’t ever show that Bran told them all, therefore he must have! See, it’s…

Reviews like this are why we can’t have nice things. Demand better from your entertainment than what Game of Thrones is providing.

This is just to justify Kinja cross posting spoilers to every website in their kinjdom.

Not permanently. It appears that a non-gray liking a comment un-grays that comment, but the next one is back to gray.

That made me laugh. SHITTY PRODUCTION VALUES.

If you listen, there’s no bass in her voice!

But why didn’t they just make a better album by putting the songs in order?

Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, which is partly about the Renaissance and the Glorious Revolution, and the world changing from superstition and ignorance to knowledge, from absolute monarchies to more democratic models. And also pirates.

Any update on when AV Club non-Disqus legacy accounts (such as mine) can be claimed? I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a “sometime in the next couple of days” thing or a “whenever we figure out how to do that” timeline.

I used a “legacy” AV Club account and not a generic Disqus one, and I’m told the legacy accounts aren’t ready to be merged yet. GET ON THE STICK, AVKINJACLUB!

Grey Ghosts are very important because they can inspire future Batmen.
