Wow, looks like the AV Club got over its Kinja-induced comment deficit in a hurry.

Remember how a red shirt showed prejudice on the Enterprise and Kirk was all like, “We’ll have none of that here, mister!”? Uh, you HAVE met your doctor, right?

Go, ban-aneurysm!

Their version of the Scarecrow was aces. They took one of the most forgettable villains in the rogue’s gallery and turned him into something legitimately threatening. Everyone else... yeah, they all took a step down.

I want Saliva Vore back. I mean, Oliver Sava. What happened to him?

I’ve got a TV! But I use it for video games and DVDs, because I can’t get a reception in the valley of Southern Arizona. It’s not like there’s anything I’d want to see right now, what with the world going up in flames and all.

Oh by all means, after you!

I agree with your disagreement. Survivor is kind of a game show, but there’s way too much down time and contestant drama for it to fit in the same category. American Idol would be a better fit, but that’s more of a talent competition... and frankly, I’m sick and tired of that kind of show too.

Still? They’re STILL doing this? Lordie lou, I thought reality shows were no longer a thing. Okay, I HOPED reality shows were no longer a thing. Please tell me the host at least gets eaten by a shark or something.

Yeah, that works.

Without gun control laws (which we will never, ever get in the United States), the only way to lessen gun use in the United States is to change the way they’re portrayed in the media. Stop making them macho and sexy. Start showing mass murderers as the pathetic, cowardly nothings they really are.

I’ve discussed this elsewhere, but yeah, sad news. Tom Petty is one of those musicians you don’t really think about until one of his songs plays. Then you’re all like “Hey, this is awesome! Why haven’t I been listening to this?”

“59 people are dead. It wasn’t their time, either.” Wow. That is the best rejoinder to the “it’s not the right time to talk about gun control” cliche I’ve heard yet. Then again, we’ve heard that line so often that we’ve had plenty of time to think of a comeback.

This guy is just full of Bolshevik. I do like that Silly Putty analogy, though.

Blade Runner? You can’t handle the blades! No blade-handler you!

I’m honestly shocked that the film is that good. I’m honestly shocked that the film is good at ALL, frankly. A sequel to Blade Runner is a tough act to follow, and it’s very hard to capture its enigmatic spirit in an age where viewers want the director to do all the thinking for them.

Never liked Klepper (he of the smug attitude and Slim Jim hair), and this new show sounds insufferable. As for Wilmore, he was hit or miss. When he was good, he was very good... I really enjoyed his takedown of the Minnesota dentist who shot that lion. Unfortunately, the series got increasingly self-indulgent, to the…

He’s been beating this drum for a while now. You’d think his arm would get tired.

I’ve mostly divorced myself from pop culture. It’s gotten harder to tolerate thanks to the not-so-great pumpkin. Having said that, I’m loading up a hacked classic Xbox with games and emulators, in the hopes of catching up on some of the stuff I missed in the early 2000s. People have become really picky about graphics…

Pile me into the bus of people who hated Harry Knowles before it was cool. (Was there ever a time when it WASN’T cool to hate Harry Knowles?) Terrible site design, unprofessional reviews, just execrable in every way. It’s a pity his site got so big while The Flick Filosopher went under the radar. I guess people…
