I did like the Bill Potts season a lot better. For that matter, I thought Missy was the best Master since Delgado died. But, I’m still happy to see him go.

Congress hasn’t done shit in years. Earlier this year that was a source of comfort. A lot of people I knew believed they were going to repeal the ACA last spring, but I sincerely doubted this Congress was capable of passing meaningful legislation. Now, while there’s a bipartisan majority in favor of Net Neutrality, I…

For real I didn’t even know the original trilogy was available digitally or on Blu Ray, at all - I have them on DVD. What’s the quality like? Are they in full HD?

Overall I think he may be right, considering the show in its entirety since 1963. But he really has no business saying that right now. He has somehow managed to preside over one of the show’s best periods (Matt Smith and Karen Gillan), and one of its absolute worst (Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman). Nothing against…

I think “people of other ethnicities are grossly under-represented in visual media” is the point. If the roles could have been played by actresses of any ethnicity, they shouldn’t be cast as white as the default casting decision. White isn’t the default ethnicity, with non-white people being the exception and having…

Yes, I’m very disappointed in that - I was really looking forward to this one, but since you don’t learn too much about what’s going on until the second book, it’s probably not too faithful to the material. Which isn’t always a bad thing, this story obviously would need some changes to make a good movie or movie…

If the Doctor had any semblance of a fashion sense, I wouldn’t believe it was the same person. For this reason I suspected the way-too-trendy 10th Doctor was really the Master. I was afraid they would make her look too nice. This outfit is ugly and horrible and doesn’t fit right and she looks like a total dork, so I…

That is confusing. It seems they will actually look like this. Weird that the article about the eyes would go out without the eyes.

I didn’t notice it was the same actor, but I definitely assumed Ash Tyler was a Klingon spy. Why? Because as soon as the pilot aired and there were not Klingons who looked human like they did in TOS, I assumed they were holding this back for a reason, and that at some point someone was going to be revealed as secretly…

I thought it was pretty good, but not quite worth the buildup. As for Danny Rand, I wish they’d just introduced him in a Daredevil Season 3 or Luke Cage 2 rather than given him his own show. For one thing, it was ridiculous for Night Nurse to go along with fighting the Hand - in New York, and not call Daredevil for…

Yes, it’s becoming a tradition at this point. Christmas break with no Star Wars would be a letdown now. Plus, it’s going to take some doing to make a decent Episode IX without Carrie Fisher. Her absence basically means the original script has to be circular filed.

It was boring. I turned it off about halfway through. I didn’t have high hopes for quality, but I had hoped it would be funny. Possibly if they don’t cancel it immediately, the pacing and comic timing will get better. There seemed to be halfway decent ideas in there, but it was all just so lifeless in the execution.

My head thumping against the desk isn’t really about “We’re talking pretty seriously now about doing some new Terminator films,” it’s about “or possibly a trilogy.” This is the core reason the franchise has failed to thrive - the last two Terminator movies were failed attempts to set up trilogies that never panned…

You’d be right to argue with the way some of these issues were handled, in my opinion. But some of the simplifications - Brienne fights the real Hound rather than Fake Hound, Ramsay marries real Sansa rather than Fake Arya, Arya kills the Freys rather than Lady Stoneheart, the Night’s Watch kills Jon solely over his…

The concept of gender-swapping Time Lords was introduced six years ago, in “the Doctor’s Wife,” a Neil Gaiman-penned episode that was met with near-unanimous applause, and has been repeatedly referenced by the show since then. Rather than just dropping the idea on fans all at once, the idea has been repeatedly…

I’m glad this is happening, I was a little surprised Mel wasn’t already there when Dany showed up. Dragonstone was her last address before heading north with Stannis, and being banished from the North, I’m not sure she has anywhere else to go.

True. In the books at least, the Queen of Thorns still goes by Olenna Redwyne for example, not Olenna Tyrell. And Cat I believe was addressed both as “Lady Stark” and as “Catelyn Tully,” just to muddy the waters. But I don’t recall ever hearing “Cersei Baratheon” now that I think of it. She may have been “Cersei of…

To be fair, Dany’s parents (Jon’s grandparents) were also brother and sister. The incest part isn’t actually the scandal in Westeros, the scandal is that Robert wasn’t the father, so they weren’t really in line for the throne.

I’d have to see the very inbred family tree of Westerosi nobility to know for sure, but it’s quite possible the Lannisters are in the line of succession, not because or Cersei’s marriage to Robert, but because of a Targaryen ancestor. In the real world, there have been several dynastic changes in England, for example,…
