That is what I meant; it isn't the American fans that are ruining it, it's the effect they've had on the show, meaning Moffat and co.

Ha-ha. I'm only saying that here it's much more of a kids' show, and most adults who do watch it think it's pretty shit, but it seems the majority of the American audience is adults. Everyone I know is a fan of this show at its best, but the consensus among us is that this was shit, like most recent episodes. And I…

Yeah, I think it's funny that the characters are supposed to be a progressive and brave depiction of a same-sex relationship on a kids' TV show, but the gender roles are still clearly defined. Vastra is the brains and the brawn, and she makes the money, is constantly horny, literally treats her wife like a maid.

Yes. Everything Vastra said and did in this episode was irritating and overly cutesy. None of it came close to what an actual person might say or do. She's become pure shtick when she used to be an actual character.

I actually laughed out loud when he DID literally look at the camera after they panned up from the robot guy's body impaled on the spire to his broody face.

I'm a Londoner and have fully functioning ears, but also failed to understand what was being said at times, mostly at the beginning. Probably was the sound mixing, but Capaldi was also clearly not using his normal accent. He was doing it slightly more English than normal. I took it as a sort of another attempt to sell…

Exactly. I hate to say it, but this show's growing popularity in America is slowly ruining things.

I don't know how many of you are Americans, but I can only assume that you guys like this show so much because you're not used to British TV or something? The consensus here, at least among everyone I know (and everyone watches this stuff) is that it sucked. Plenty of people changed the channel after about fifteen…

It's simpler to say when a choice is NOT a choice. It's not a choice when it's a symptom of your mental disorder, for example.

Exactly. People love to blame others for their weaknesses or complications. .. people don't choose to be suicidal manic depressives any more than they choose to be gay or transgender. Suicide isn't a decision a depressed person makes to end their suffering, it's a symptom of their depression. The thing is, I'm sure…

Personally, it's the one Tarantino film where the violence is really, really difficult to watch, let alone be thrilled or entertained by. When the tire goes over the girl's face… that movie has the most realistic effects he's done, but the rest of it is a deliberately silly genre flick. The contrast doesn't work for…

Fair enough! I'm relatively new to the site, and only even noticed this column a week ago. It still seems out of place to me. I didn't know we talked about sex and FEELINGS here!!

I'm still so confused by this section of the site. What does this have to do with the rest of the AV Club? I'm honestly wondering how and why this became a thing.

Still cannot believe professional comic book creators wrote, drew, inked, and published that scene

Butt. Stuff.

Aphex does loads of that kind of thing. He's known to gig at random people's houses if asked. A blimp over London is also fairly straightforward as these things go, I feel.

YAAAAYY!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!
WHOO!!!

Windowlicker, Girl/Boy Song, IZ-US, Alberto Balsam, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, and Avril 14th will be my sleep playlist tonight. Wish I could have seen this seeing as I live in London!

Makes me really happy. Have had a shit day and actually spent quite a while this morning trying to find out why Twin hadn't released anything in soool long, even read that AV Club article about the Caustic Window record. I love Aphex Twin and can't wait to see what the mad bastard's got in store for us this time!!!…

Well, there was a Muffy in Arthur, as in the kids' cartoon about the aardvark. Muffy was the rich girl. That was one show that was legitimately for kids, it wasn't full of adult references or anything. Therefore, Muffy doesn't always refer to vaginas. R-right?
