And he's done so well playing all those Canadian and Mexican roles.

Are people still using 'better than Agents of SHIELD' as an actual compliment?
Because he almost never reveals that he's a DRN - they just assume he's human. Which was mentioned as being a large part of the problem with the DRNS - that it wasn't so much that they stood out to the public, as much as the public having a fit about the fact that they didn't KNOW which cops were robots and which were…
I totally read the first sentence of the review as having a rather different 'po—' word.
Who else here is guessing that, like the guy who played Jackson before he got a gig on Arrow, Stiles is getting a 'big bad' arc here because Dylan O'Brien has managed to act his way into a better pay-grade of tv show?
Closure with the Doctor and Susan would also undercut one of Eccleston's best moments:
Sutekh or STFU:-)
And then there's the deliberate attempt to do a version of 'Who Goes There?' in Seeds of Doom - hence the heavy similarities with Carpenter's The Thing, despite the Dr Who serial predating it by almost a decade.
That 'Deadly Assassin' guy gets ALL the work. No-one ever hires the 'makes you nauseous for a couple of days Assassin':-(
Yeah, that one's a clanger. I guess they were hoping that having the Master being sent in to save the Doctors, and having him essentially take 1/5 of the showtime, might kind of, sort of, if you squint really hard, make it almost 5 doctors.
Again: Victor Turlough - political exile from an alien planet, disguised as a schoolboy who 'just happens' to head off with Doctor, having previously cut a deal with the Black Guardian to murder the Doctor in return for safe passage to a better choice of refuge. Unfortunately he has to share screentime with the Black…
Worked fine doing it that way for 30 years in the classic series.
Let me introduce you to one of the greatest Doctor Who companions, Victor Turlough:-)
The show killed off it's child audience surrogate character, without even giving him a 'heroic sacrifice' ending, with the Doctor standing on helplessly, back in 1980 - not only that but the serial literally ends with 'closeup on Adric's terrified face, tear rolls down his cheek as he clutches his dead brother's…
I read a Moffat review where he said that they're actually planning on addressing that (or at least addressing why the 12th doctor's likeness had appeared in Pompeii and in Children of Earth).
We'll just add that to my never-to-be-even-partially-fufilled fanboy wishlist of:
- a full season Valeyard arc, with the Master doing a couple of episodes as the protagonist/anti-hero once the Doctor goes into full Valeyard mode.
- the prequel to 'Curse of Fenric'
- a multi season implementation of Cartmel's intended arc…
McCoy and Gillan do to Dallas what they did to Skaro in Remembrance of the Daleks?
It's also because they've stripped all the threat out of the show. Take Peter Davidson's era - you've got companions revealed as disguised assassins, companions dying, getting tortured and lots of serials where the Doctor completely fails to 'save the day'.
I think it's one of the reasons Rory was so popular - he's the first companion in the new series to repeatedly call the Doctor out on his bull****.
Oh man, if you think those years suck for man-boobs, just wait til you hit 40:-(
