It's the issue the reviewer raised a few episodes back with The Originals: the show doesn't always seem to realise that it's about a grade A cliched abuser who has battered his 2 siblings into learned helplessness - sure, it recognises when he's doing the wrong thing, but it seems to expect the audience to take his

At least Diggle has some confrontation or two guaranteed to come against Deadshot (admittedly, it's not clear at this point which character will write the other out of the show, but the reviewer has a short memory - it wasn't THAT many episodes ago that they had another 'Diggle v Deadshot' episode (even if it was more

Army PBG's has made 3 'big moves' showing that (a) his allegiance is to someone other than EITHER the CDC or the Facility, (b) his motivations are at least partly benevolent, although he has few qualms about killing people (everyone?) if necessary, and (c) the group to which he's allied (probably the army) is

Let's see….an extremely attractive 50 year old female actress is introduced to a show one episode before Capaldi takes over as a more traditionally aged Doctor? Coincidence?

You're making the same mistake all over again: shifting one of the era's
strongest writer away from writing duties over to showrunning duties.
Didn't work for Moffat (who has always shone when making shows where he
gets to write the entire thing, instead of having to, well, show-run) -
why would it work for Gaiman,

Wow, I can't believe how relevant and groundbreaking this film was in 1992,

Am I the only one thinking that the show could learn some lessons from Farscape in how to make a meta-textually invincible character work to your advantage?

OH HELL YEAH!!!!

They were with the doc a LOT longer than Donna, as well - Jamie in particular.

Worse for Amy than the 5th doc was for poor dead Adric and traumatised Tegan?

Funny how the particle accelerator ('Tahiti') references aren't at all annoying in a show that actually has a decent plot going on.

7 is quite literally 50% in the worst tier, then 50% in the very best tier.

Plus, Remembrance of the Daleks was the launchpoint for the show's final run of greatness into that last season of McCoy as the Doctor. It was the first with the revamped 'dark machiavellian' version of the 7th doc (the serial was originally supposed to be the 1st of the next season, but was swapped with Silver

Seems that the measurement of 'poorest' hasn't made been adjusted to take account of temporary poverty - people from wealthy or middle-class families temporarily earning little income due to being at college or just starting out. A lot of those shows are more 18-30 market than income stratified.

In the books, Watson is a fit, intelligent ex-military doctor. Sherlock is far more obsessed with martial arts and swordplay, but Watson comes across as pretty fit - plus as you really saying Jude Law wasn't sexy?

Perhaps, but Myrcroft (and Rhys Ifans) is a large enough character that he's unlikely to be used as an extension of Moriarty. Not saying their interests might not intersect, or that their paths won't cross, but he'd have his own agenda that would play out on its own terms.

Yeah, could have made it work. Perhaps if Bell or Holmes points out that it's a bad angle for a professional killer due to an unnecessary risk of mis-hitting. Then Watson points out that for someone who was approaching it with medical expertise, but not a lot of practical experience in killing people, it would seem

There's another factor there. The death of good pop music spanned Gen X - mostly the earlier end (pop was well and truly festering by the 90s) - but we still got to live in an era where the most authentic, beautiful or innovative music could also intermittently be the best-selling. With a few exceptions, good pop

Morvan Avagddu wins 'most Cobain-grunge comment of the thread'.

Old comment to reply to, but god those silver age writers knew how to keep their heroes challenged:
