Meadow is more sophisticated, which just empowers her to be more cruel to her parents. A.J. crassly swears at his mother, and generally slouches around like a glum, rude teenager. Only Meadow goes so far as to mock her mother and humiliate her by showing how she has become more educated and literate (during the time…

Nothing to add except I love Reddington's performance in this. Those hand gestures! He was the one I liked seeing interviewed in the dvd extras for this story.

Every RTD story, particularly every finale, has some overstuffed and overblown deus ex machina. It is all melodrama.

I think it was on Grantland where I read the article that made a convincing case against Whedon. The argument, succinctly, is that Whedon and his stuff is so beloved and clever because it masters the genre and winks to the audience in knowing ways, but that sort of "self-awareness" is not suited to Star Wars.

I know how the characters in the world of the Sopranos are always measuring themselves and comparing their experiences to mob movies, especially the Godfather, so am I wrong to see an homage in the baptism scene (or conversely, is it too obvious to mention?) Michael stood as Godfather to Connie and Carlo's child, then…

Dude, Mr. Bahn, we need to get you two copies of the Warriors' Gate dvd,
not just because it is a great story, but so you can have a copy for
N-Space and another for E-Space (or, one for home and one for the

Five Doctors is at least good, if not great, and Two Doctors should provide some interesting grist for the mill (the violence, the vegetarianism); Arc of Infinity has exactly one good moment—when Omega in the form of the fifth Doctor is jostled by a child, there is a moment of menace, then he smiles, apparently full…

Not the best episode you have covered, but this is a very strong review full of good ideas (mostly pointing out squandered opportunities—the makings of a great and tragic villain and the fruitful parallels with the Doctor squandered.)
