i'll do it for you: THE LAST PANTHERS is Introspective Euro Geopolitical Economics War Crime Thriller THE WIRE (albeit utilizing a relative skeleton crew cast).

YES. all due respect to Capaldi's magnificent reading i kinda want a cut of this ep minimizing narration, focusing on just images & score.

so the first time the Doctor went through, he was naked when he started punching that wall & crawled back up to first position having left his clothes by the fire?

i see this ep as an appropriate bookend to series 1 ep 2, particularly coming almost as near the end as that one was near the beginning: that other one was about getting primed for growing up (w/o actually starting the process) by coming to terms with other people getting old. this is about actually getting on w/…

Ethan's subplot didn't work for me either. i suspect they're prepping him to commit some real violence later on - or is that too obv to state? - though i think i'd be disappointed if they went that way.

i'm probably the only one but after the last movie i was really really REALLY hoping we'd get to see Lord Marshal Riddick stomp all over the Verse w/ his Necromonger hoards.

did anyone else get a funny feeling from all those Weeping Angels? no? ah just me then.

i thought so too, but then Ruiz said something like 'she came to work for the maquiladoras and ended up being a prostitute.' plus she worked that one room that one time, said the 16 y.o.

that is my favorite episode too, that one with the nothing happening & Linden & Holder just sitting around in a car like they're waiting for Godot. that was the ep that opened the show up for me, confirmed for me what i'd always suspected from the pilot that the show was really interested in, which was positing &…

i kinda feel that Izzard's performance, at least in part, is still 'a shade of Anthony Hopkins', but that fact also makes it an interesting metastatement on Gideon's identity crisis.

just to offer some balance to all the hate i see around here: i've never been interested in The Killing as a procedural, w/c is my biggest disappointment w/ what i like to think of as a whole new pilot for the show - w/ the latest ep, the show reinvents itself as a better procedural, more concerned w/more focused on…

tonally, i would say this show is more akin to the book that shares its name. but, well, most people hated it. while i agree it's flawed, i'm that one guy who liked both that book AND the Ridley Scott movie based on that book.

the comments are funny, but, being serious for just a sec: someone else may have (or, if not, should have) mentioned this by now, but news of the supposed criticism has already been proved 'thunderously' mistaken/misleading/just really wrong, having originated from the Daily Mail. see, for instance, this report: http:/…
