The First is strong with this one.

You were in a snit when I said the show should stop settling for juvenile bullshit like fire breathing lion men, but look at the last two weeks.

How on earth do you know what Glenn's last name is? The people on the show don't even know what Glenn's last name is.

Look, when you've been doing this for almost 30 years, sometimes you just pick something at random off your Netflix queue and phone it in. Gotta fill those minutes somehow.

Would you honestly show this episode to an outsider and not think they're gonna notice the embarrassing camp of a firebreathing alien cat lord and maybe not so much about the commiserating immortal demigods?

I don't know that it's possible for me to be less in agreement.

Between Karen Gillan and Capaldi, that random Pompeii episode has become one of the most pivotal episodes in show history and a codex foretelling seasons and seasons to come. I assume this means Doctor Who will leap aboard the CGI train and make one of those lava monsters the companion next.

Does the chaste romantic interest disappear halfway through the movie? If not, that's not any Goosebumps I recognize. Looks like the characters are all white, though. That part is accurate.

Between this and The Americans, it turns out FX show writers and executives really hate Ronald Reagan and can't wait to tell you about it. Nobody tell Rupert Murdoch about this latest insurrection.

Nicer to have our typically idiotic and incompetent "heroes" back in all their glory. I can't believe after all the great success they had the last time there was a zombie trapped in a hole in the ground (remember the well on the farm?) that they didn't nail their plan 100%.

It was a simple, straightforward episode, and at no point did any metal trash can screech "EXTERMINATE" or "EXPLAIN." That's a win in my book.

It was born into this world to be a movie, not a tv show. The problem with a tv show is that it has a lot of episodes, where the characters need to get up to weekly shenanigans to sustain itself. But the strength of this show is the long stretches of emptiness and draining loneliness. If Wall-E was a kid's show on the

He basically is on a completely different show. It literally switched from his graphic torture scene to a couple of flirty teens riding bikes and playing dress up. And then onto a mashup of 28 Days Later crossed with The Hurt Locker/Generation Kill.

Apparently the Doctor has never seen Return of the Jedi or he'd have known that Davros was just doing a bit. But then it was a trick and he used his glowy magic to destroy the city, even though they just established that there's a whole planet that was remade. But you know what? Fine, forget it. Par for the course.

I feel like the show is tired. I don't know what to say. Capaldi is doing good, he wasn't in the episode much. Clara is mega tired. Michelle Gomez is really the only vibrant thing, but meh. It's not great when the episode pivots entirely around more fake deaths and shit that happened in the 70s.

Why is he still wearing the old man's clothes that he stole? He looks like Kramer crossed with Johnny Depp crossed with Ellen Degeneres.

Thus ends the gayest show in network tv history. Poor Fannibals, getting teased one last time on the kiss that never came. It would have been a rather bloody one to go out on, though Hannibal's probably really into that.

At first, I thought that was a surprise cameo from Maggie. Instead it was some effeminate dope fiend with an inexplicable shirt.

Here I thought Hannibal eating that lip like a skink was the punchline this show has building up to for three seasons now.

Crazy how each new episode of this season seems to be even better than the last. It's impossible to say enough good things about this show.
