Dammit! I couldn’t care less about longreads about Rey’s bloody parents. I want hilarious recaps of ridiculous shows, and thoughtful ones about good ones. That and the fact that there’s almost always someone saying something interesting in the comments is one of the things that makes me come back here every day. I…

It sucks cos they all kept saying nothing would change but the site has most definitely changed for the worse.

I have been watching DW since before I could talk. I’m in mid-30s. I have tattoos. I hand-knitted several Adipose dolls and an Ood. I went to conventions when I was a kid. I have a dalek cushion and have hand painted trainers of DW. I have painted portraits of most of the Doctors and the companions. Fan.

The first time I saw/heard David Bowie, I was a watching a grainy black-and-white TV in my bedroom. He was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live and I was sitting close to the television with the sound turned down really low, because [a] I wasn’t supposed to be watching that late and [b] I wasn’t supposed to be…

I don’t know why I’m up so late but now I regret it doubly because my day ends in sadness.

There are occasionally movies, television shows, and musicians that appear suddenly, that are both exceptional and utterly unlike anything before, and that make the world a more interesting and beautiful place that you can no longer imagine without them having existed.

This is awful news. When I was 8 years old, I contracted a serious illness. When I was recovering at home, I watched my VHS copy of Labyrinth over and over again as David Bowie as Jared the Goblin King was one of the few things that made me feel better. I would later go on to discover his incredible music but Bowie…

Oh that’s cute, somebody made a Bond theme without me.

I’m also interested in which ones you’re interpreting as stretching the definition? Assuming you count ghosts and supernatural horror as “fantasy” and that futuristic gadgetry that doesn’t exist qualifies as “sci-fi”, I don’t see what the problem is. In reverse order from the list:

Kylo Ren is a much more conflicted bad guy than I anticipated. He’s like on his way to the dark side but isn’t fully there yet. Funny to hear him say he’s “tempted” by the light. Wonder what made him want to join the Dark Side.

I was incredibly happy with Han Solo. I was worried that Harrison Ford would just be playing…

I brought my 8-year-old daughter to see this. I turned to her when Rey unwields the lightsaber for the first time and she had a HUGE grin on her face.

You’re going to hate it because you clearly want to. You’ve convinced yourself that you’re smarter than everyone else (like all those icky Marvel fans who Instagram, for example). If they like it, you must hate it to retain your geek “cred”. Maybe you’ll genuinely hate it on it’s merits but your attitude going in…

Sorry, but Jessica Jones has kind of ruined Supergirl for me.

It got to the point where you couldn’t bury one without hitting another

I have a Fantastic Thanksgiving story:

As half white half Asian man, I find your complete disregard for historical accuracy very comforting. Wow! I *am* perfect.

Unrealistic superpowers make for better TV than unrealistic personalities.

I can’t speak for Rob, but to me the difference is that on The Flash, the characters may have absurd powers and backsrories, but they generally behave in recognizably human ways and make decisions that seem at least vaguely rational on some level.

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.

Satisfy my curiosity: Why are all your comments parenthetical?
