This feels like the decision to put Morbius back in theaters.

Yeah, the shift to shorter and shorter seasons negatively impacts Doctor Who more than almost any other show. When you’ve got 15+ episodes to knock around in there’s plenty of space for episodes that zero in on character, smaller moments, weird episodes, the occasional clunker, episodes that barely feature The Doctor,…

Probably gotta wait for a site redesign. Going by Paste’s site, I’m guessing (hoping) slideshows will go away.

Damn, I had hoped the new ownership meant the end of slideshows.

After opening by showing the Cylons launching their attack on humanity, Battlestar Galactica’s second ever scene is this marvel that introduces a ton of the major characters without ever feeling awkward in the cramped hallway sets.

Can’t believe it took me this long to say it but: what a hack. First and foremost, adaptation is inherently an act of change; changing the medium of the story doesn’t just involve changing the shape of a story, it demands it. You’re a lot more likely to dash yourself against the rocks hewing too faithfully to the…

Our theory is that ASP changed very little between her original plan for season seven and the revival, and didn’t bother to think how age would have impacted the story.

Rory (and probably Lorelai) getting pregnant just as she’s about to graduate college? That’s something?

Rory getting pregnant in her mid to late 30s?…

Adama and Roslin from BSG doesn’t get the attention it deserves.  It starts with prudent distrust, moves to mutual professional/personal respect, goes to betrayal (it’s ambiguous who betrays whom), to begrudging adoration, love, and eventually separation.  Still my favourite presentation of mature romance ever on…

Here would be my idea for the first film (and I know there’s a lot that we’ve already seen, but I feel we need to reset everything.)

All I’m hearing is that the CW show is going to remain the best Supergirl adaptation for at least another decade.

Oh, no, I’m actually Jesse, the writer. Jesus, the writer is a different guy. 

I have the complete opposite reaction to the pod racing. At best the race scene is way too long, at worst (depending on how I feel about the Phantom Menace that day) it’s completely unnecessary.

I liked it too. It was uneven but it took some swings and might have turned into something very good, given the chance. 

Not the only one, but close...

Genuinely sad to see him go. That man was incredible in the role as Theoden. Its not an easy character, and yet I cannot imagine any other human as him.

Several people in the commentaries note that his being able to keep it together until he says “No parent should have to bury their child” adds a ton to the emotion.

As much as I love the LOTR films, and I do, for a lot of it you’re being asked to care about things that are by their nature abstract: magic rings, battles between imaginary kingdoms, supernatural evil. Theoden, when he’s mourning the loss of his son, brings it back down to something real and visceral, and my God did…

Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead had so much influence on my young life it hurts me that Card has become such an asshole 

The fact that Radcliffe does weird, sometimes kind of fucked-up indie movies he finds interesting because he can afford to due to the financial safety cushion of his Potter money speaks nothing but well of him. Glad he’s doing something like the film the above image is from rather than “Christmas Prince” romcoms or…

I wasn’t suggesting “love on social media” be the only metric for determining happiness, and neither should anyone else. No one knows what’s really down in the heart of anyone else, so we can only go by the evidence we can see. And what I see when I look at Radcliffe is a young actor who has matured into a successful…
