"You're a beautiful woman, probably."

I wouldn't put it past Moffat to actually pull that exact mindfuck at the end of the season. (I mean, he already did a season where the whole universe rebooted.)

I love her performance as Missy. Nothing is scarier than when she smiles. When she smiles you know someone is doomed.

I wasn't wild about Amy's Choice when it first aired but that's an episode that does really well on rewatch. Once you know what's going on with the Doctor and both (well, all three) realities, a lot of strange little details suddenly lock into place. And Rory and Amy both get to be funny in it.

They finally gave Nardole something good to do and it was worth the wait. I was wondering when he would get something to do besides nagging and chores.

I was under the impression it was her foster mother.

Alien impresses me every single time I watch it. It builds tension between the characters before anything really happens, then ratchets up that tension by introducing a new threat, then expertly uses pretty primal fears - fear of the dark, fear of enclosed spaces, fear of the unknown - to build to an almost…

Speaking of Newman - can we just get an adaptation of Anno Dracula? That could be fun.

I actually really liked the book, despite being well outside of its intended audience (at least I assume "middle-aged gay man" wasn't their target demographic). I did feel the twist was telegraphed pretty early on but we spend enough time with her mother to understand why she's done something so terrible,…

The moment between Manny and Jay at the end was sweet. Cam and Mitchell acknowledging that they don't seem to know or understand their daughter at all was a weird plot. They've hinted over the years that Luke is really good at manipulating people when he wants to but the car plot really didn't land for me. The…

Jimmy and Dylan with their two seconds at the beach was somehow funny, sweet, and sad all at the same time.

Of course Maya would be a legend already to the camp counselors. It definitely tilted far more to the sweet than the funny but I felt they earned that over the course of the season (and there were funny moments, like the man admitting that the whole state is basically just camps or Jimmy being offended on behalf of…

Titus is back! I can stop watching random YouTube videos of Tituss Burgess singing showtunes to get my Titus fix (though, seriously, go watch the one where he sings "Stay with Me" from Into the Woods - the man has such a beautiful voice and he sells the heck out of it).

I would also welcome more from Gangly Orphan Jeff or Alabama!

DOFP is all about the consequences of deciding to take a single human life. Apocalypse kills off millions but ends like a buddy movie. So bizarre.

X2, First Class, and Days of Future Past are three of my favorite comic book movies but The Last Stand and Origins are just so damn bad and Apocalypse so crazy inconsistent in quality from scene to scene that it feels like the series as a whole gets dragged down by them in a major way.

I grew up in Tulsa reading Hinton's books and driving by locations from the movies (Rumble Fish is a terrific movie, if you haven't watched it in a while). I used to tell people I had a real nostalgic blind spot for The Outsiders and the rest but then I went back and reread them as an adult and realized that was…

ER and Will & Grace - two shows that so massively overstayed their welcome that people forgot that they were really solid shows at one point in their history.

Trial and Error (which turned into a very funny show) had the worst scheduling I can ever remember for a network show.

Stayed in bed and reread Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me, which is such a fantastically nasty, mean-spirited piece of pure pulp joy. Deputy sheriff in a small town hides his sadistic, sociopathic tendencies under smiles and aw-shucks charm. Tried rewatching the 2010 movie version and turned it off after about an…
