BITCH, THESE AREN'T EVEN THE FOOTHILLS OF INANITY HERE.

YEAH, SINCE I VALUE REALISM IN COMICS, MY FAVORITE COMMISSIONER GORDON MOMENT IS THAT TWELVE PAGE SEQUENCE OF HIM TRYING TO TAKE A PISS WITH AN ENLARGED PROSTATE. WASN'T THAT IN ED BRUBAKER'S RUN?

PERHAPS YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL OEUVRE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME FACILITY FOR EMOTIONAL REALISM AND CAPTURING THE SMALL PERFECT MOMENTS OF A CHARACTER'S MOTHERFUCKING INTERNAL LIFE.

ISN'T TWO YEARS IN MARVEL TIME LIKE A LONG WEEKEND?

SEE AND FOR ME ANYBODY WHO HAS SUPERPOWERED KUNG FU WITHOUT ENNUI OR SOME SIMILARLY SITUATED FUCKING EMOTIONAL COLOR DOESN'T PIQUE MY INTEREST AT ALL.

DAMN STRAIGHT!

AND SO I READ ANNIE'S REACTION THROUGH THAT LENS. IT'S LESS THAT SHE'S IN WUV WIF JEFF AS MUCH AS SHE SEES JEFF AND BRITTA AS BEING INSINCERE, AND SHE'S TOO MUCH OF A ROMANTIC TO ACCEPT THAT. THE STORYLINE SEEMS TO BE MORE ABOUT HER BEING DONE WITH JEFF. BUT I KNOW I COULD NEVER CONVINCE THE SHIPPERS OF THAT, BLESS…

SO BUT MY TAKE IS THAT THE LAST TWO EPISODES ESTABLISH THAT THE WRITERS FEEL THE JEFF/BRITTA IS KIND OF A JOKE. IT'S BORING AND SAFE AND PREDICTABLE, THE HAVEN THE TWO CHARACTERS RETURN TO WHEN THEY'VE RUN OUT OF ALL THE REALLY APPEALING OPTIONS.

NO, YOU WERE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. SEVERAL MISSPELLINGS OF FURGUSON BELOW. WHY DO YOU FUCKING "FERGUSON" DEVIANTS HATE HUSSERL AND EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD?

AS ONE OF THOSE CRABBY MOTHERFUCKERS WHO DIDN'T WANT NICK AND JESS TO GET TOGETHER, LET ME STATE I AM JUST FUCKING DELIGHTED THAT THIS EPISODE WAS A STERLING RETURN TO FORM.

THE ONLY TIME I PUT A ROD IN A HOG'SHEAD WAS WHEN I WAS VERY, VERY DRUNK.

I FIND ALL THE KERNELS OF CORN IN THE FAMOUS BOWL FUCKING DISTRACTING.

I FOR ONE AM IN FAVOR OF CONTINUING THE AV CLUB TRADITION OF DOUBTING THE VERACITY OF INTELLIGENT REVIEWERS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN THE FILM/EPISODE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATCH THE POSTERS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE (PREDICTABLY MISLEADING) TRAILERS/COMMERCIALS/PROMOTIONAL BLITZ. HUZZAH FOR UNEXAMINED GUT REACTIONS! HUZZAH!…

YOU SAY NOTHING, I SAY FREEDOM!!

IN MY PERSONAL CANON, SAVAGE STEVE HOLLAND IS WHAT JOHN HUGHES SHOULD HAVE BEEN. WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE A SAVAGE STEVE HOLLAND VERSION OF "FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF" OR "THE BREAKFAST CLUB."

WHY NOT EXPLAIN BITCOIN TO YOUR FATHER, OR YOUR BROTHER, OR YOUR TEENAGE SON?

WOW. NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M FUCKING FILLED UP WITH SUNSHINE.

CONRAD OR CAMPBELL, MOTHERFUCKER?

YOU, SIR, ARE A MOTHERFUCKING LIAR.

MISTY AND POETIC, MOTHERFUCKER.
