Hail Ceaser could have been an entry on this list. It’s not a focus of the movie, but there is a hostage subplot played for laughs with George Clooney.

“Bad news fans, AoS is cancelled. But hold on, there’s good news: Inhumans is also cancelled”.

I really enjoyed it. You want to see “fake and forced”, give a watch to Chris Evans in his singular post-Clarkson Top Gear season. It’s cringe-inducing. 

There’s nothing new or special about about Game of Thrones. It’s a prestiege show. It gets a lot of media buzz and has a high profile, which draws eyes and goodwill to the the network, but is prohibitively expensive to make. There are tons of those, particularly on subscription-based networks/streaming services, where…

Without intending offence to Hughes, this feature might be best served by fewer words.

Interesting. I posted an AV Club comment at some point sharing my critique of the movie that there were too many camera shots with only a single person in the frame, and that gave an impression that the people weren’t in the place at the time, and made it feel incoherent. There are some car driving scenes that are…

“If I did...” is rarely a compelling “I didn’t do it” defence.

There’s already no real tension about someone robbing your boat, because what the hell were you going to do with the money anyways? I would actually say the opposite, that if the game has a secret ingredient that makes it fun, it’s the breezy inconsequentiality of it all. The problem I have is that breezy…

I pre-ordered the game about a year ago, on the hook of “open world pirateering” and a half-price discount. So it wasn’t as much of a deliberate choice for me to buy the game when it came out, and I’m not as anchored by the sunk cost as someone who’d paid full price.

There is literally no one who has commented suggesting otherwise (as of yet).

Ernie tried to vote in favour, but the system somehow subtracted someone else’s vote, instead.

Another example of Star Trek future history, for which characters had nostalgia, is in DS9, where Sisko and Jake admire Buck Bokai, a fictional chubby baseball star from the 2020s-2040s. He’s referenced in multiple episodes, and materializes as a character in Season 1's “If Wishes Were Horses”.

Person of Interest is a good comparison, because it similarly started out as a pretty bland and formulaic network procedural, and progressively much more interesting and exciting once fewer people were watching. CBS gave it a 13 episode final season to wrap itself, which was kept on the shelf as a mid-season…

It’s well shot, but I’d give the edge to either of Legion or Altered Carbon for striking visuals.

I also agree with the sentiment of needing to let go of shows go that you don’t really enjoy, but think the start of season 2 is maybe the worst possible times to abandon a show.

I’m looking forward to reading the think-pieces about how they’re whitewashing the original.

What is the context of this video? There’s an AV Club backdrop behind them, but I can’t imagine Dan and Stew went from New York to a studio in Chicago to record a 1:41 video clip. Was it a convention or something? Is there a lengthier interview posted somewhere?

Pence benefits tremendously from being contrasted with Trump. He has a self-deprecating streak that is so un-Trump like that is hard not to find it refreshing. I mean, his bunny tweeted support for Jon Oliver’s book, which exhibits a million times more maturity then we’ve ever seen from Trump.

There are a couple of telltale differences, but I suspect they’ve probably bumped into each other at some casting calls.

The atmosphere spins with the planet. Otherwise it would be very windy, all the time.
