"“The Golden Lotus” is no lugubrious slog through perfectly ironic misery like other cable dramas."

I had the same thought, but that description might fit a traditional hymnal as well

You certainly couldn't write a description, what with your dyslexic heart and all…

"Four directions on this map, but you're only goin' one way: due south…"

All I wanted was assurance that it would be back. I'd miss reading you write about Doctor Who.

I think Ruffalo is great, and it seems like many others on here this film made me a lifelong fan, but his choice of films often seems as self-destructive as poor Terry in this movie.

It's now the "Penultimatum"

My memory may be faulty, but I thought this review of "Paradise Towers" was scheduled for Saturday, Aug 2 but did not appear until the 9th; likewise, when the "Stones of Blood" did not pop up on September 6, I figured it would arrive today (13th). No such luck. Did I miss an announcement about an early end to classic…

Both "Here Comes My Baby" and "The Wind" are in Rushmore—during the pep rally and when while flying a kite Max regains his interests in projects and begins to give dictation, respectively.

Within the framework you've set out, I'd love to see a Doctor Who
program with a Picard Doctor set in a Battlestar Galactica universe.
(It's what I think RTD got close to at the end of season 1, when the
Doctor said "every time" and stops short of genocide. (Not that I am a
fan of the deus ex machina that followed, or…

I remember a middle school teacher showing us this short film. Like "The Most Dangerous Game," it was one of those things that struck me as a child. Other stuff seemed like "lessons;" they seemed more powerful, like they blew a hole in my little sheltered childhood and suggested a more fantastic, enchanted, and/or…

I thought the child was totally anonymous, and I don't see what there was to suggest it was Gallinger and Eleanor's. I thought the point of the scene was to explain some of the nun's motivation for performing abortions (that she sees what becomes of unwanted children.) Not sure I "buy" that as a realistic portrayal of…

they do in Dostoevsky's fiction

somewhere Dark Helmet looks up from playing with his dolls and is pleased

"Yes, well, we don't want to bear a grudge over a few hasty words, do we…?"

I thought that was "Death to the Daleks"… oh, right.

I think Dragonfire is a more "solid" DW story (and I don't mind them borrowing from Raiders the idea of a "facemelt" to dispatch a villain) but I prefer Paradise Towers—more uneven, but more ambitious. Also, Dragonfire has *that* cliffhanger… (hangs head)

Did I miss an announcement or some bad news? I came here over the weekend looking for the monthly review (Paradise Towers) but was disappointed to find no update.

Don't blame Canadians for what US radio played, US audiences embraced, and/or for what you've heard.

Do you answer your phone screaming "Evil Lincoln!"? The Kandyman had style when it came to Alexander Graham Bell's contraption.
