Eh, it's mostly because I wait on prestige dramas until they've finished a season, so I haven't seen most of the AV Club's list. I am well caught up on the musicals, the zombie detective shows, and the emotional children's cartoons, so your list provides the most validation for my own rather selective taste.

The last two seasons have been my favorites. The sixth season really pushed how far the show was willing to go into artiness and ambiguity (And how far its fans were willing to go, which sadly cost them many), showing Finn having a prolonged existential crisis forcing him to make sense of his own existence and the

Your list is the best list.

Thing is, I could use that exact sentiment as an argument against the "Slow and steady wins the race" position the majority here are taking. There's a disturbingly widespread feeling among the left that because they're on the right side of history, working for big immediate changes isn't necessary. "Why spend all our

What is it with P.T. Anderson and his enjoyment of popcorn fluff which then inspires him to cast actors from said fluff in his movies? Thinking also of Sandler here, obviously.

I just finished Wolf's Rain, and I am all out of things to feel. I actually feel physically exhausted.

And thus, on top of everything, Trump might end up taking a piece of one of my favorite songs from me. "The midnight gang's assembled/And picked a rendezvous for the night/They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign/That brings this fair city light. I might hear that line in the future and be unable to think of anything

Well, I'll go ahead and change mine to "Holly Jolly Secrets" so we can both stay on-brand. Shame, I lot a lot to say about Mystery Incorporated; maybe I'll post a thing about it here sometime anyways.

It's a children's show about growing up, and part of its thesis is that you never stop growing up, so all adults are still children in some regard, making it a show for everybody, which explores the storytelling possibilities of grown-up shows just as much as those of more conventional children's shows. A few quotes:

You're in for a treat; season seven has been brilliant. I was a big fan of season six's more meditative, philosophical tone, but even people who weren't have been totally onboard with how rad this season has been. For them, it's a return to form; for me, it's the sweet release the whole previous season was building

Note: not all of season seven is on Hulu yet. DO NOT watch new episodes until you've seen the remainder of that season. This show has become rather plot-heavy and you would be totally lost.

Dude, they did cover it. The brought back coverage starting with those episodes and will presumably cover the final two seasons.

Wait, was there a rule about the Advent Calendar pieces being on something holidays-related? Because if there is, I'd better pick something else. I'm all discombobulated.

Man, between this, A Series Of Unfortunate Events, and the fact that La La Land probably won't make it out here until next month, January might end up, despite the portent of the looming apocalypse that will transpire on the 21st, qualifying as a good month.

EEEEEEEEE THE INTRO FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE TIME MINISERIES IS AMAZING.

Seeing as how weed is legal in Colorado now, I'm sure he'd be able to think of a few more things to do in Denver when you're dead.

Do it; they're a masterpiece, taken all together.

That picture looks like Nick Frost and Samantha Bee having more fun than they expected to when their friends were setting them up.

He's just. Such. A. Fucking moron.

It's a fine enough film on its own; its failings are mostly as an adaptation. The show looks to be sticking much more closely to the books and is committed to adapting all of them eventually, which is something the film didn't really deliver to fans of the books.
