The trouble with the Gus plotline is that it's all necessary busywork. There's good reason to have it there: without spoiling too much, it's to set up what's happening in the 'outside world' while the CDC characters are planning their attack on the Master (i.e. the street gangs are regrouping under a vampire-slaying…

Echoes of McCoy's 7th doctor here (where he throws down the gauntlet, so to speak, and destroys Skaro, murders Davros with glee,because he's flexing his full power in the leadup to Cartmel's intended showdown with the corrupt timlelords under Rassilon on one hand, and the godllike Omega on the other hand).

Really? I just thought he shot while moving, and (not being a computer game) he missed.

Good guys? Or just making a turf claim over 'their' cattle/humans?

Was Cuba Gooding Jr ever actually bad in a film, or was it a case of being 'one black actor too many' for the finite set of black male roles (from what I can tell as an Australian, Hollywood works off a variation of Walking Dead's 'rotating black man' rule).

The female lead from Blink wasn't bad.

Mike Yates takes a big upswing in his last two serials. Invasion of the Dinosaurs was terrible, but the Yates-centric arc worked reasonably well, and he did a decent job of holding up a serial as the reluctant villain. He was also good when they showed a different side of the character in Invasion of the Spiders, with…

MILD SPOILERS (well significant spoilers, but it's revealed in the 1st episode)

Depends what you mean by 'fantasize'. If it means 'wonder, with approval, of what it might be like to do that in reality', then obviously I agree. If it means 'enjoy roleplaying', then I strongly disagree.

In Australia, one of our government-funded networks, SBS, specialises in foreign affairs and foreign language programming, and has quite the reputation for showing ultra-explicit European films completely uncut.

And shortly after someone reposted this comment on a series of Islamic fundamentalist websites, sketchesbyboze was never heard from again…

If we're all acting like we're looking down on you for the Dexter thing, it's only because we're trying to bury our own shame over Heroes.

Why bother going with the name-change? An even better one would just be a closeup of some guy squinting really hard, with camera then panning out to reveal his broken glasses on the floor in front of him. Cut to titles for 'The Strain'.

Joel, I hate to be the one that breaks the news to you. But 20 years on, you're working for a film review site with the decidedly vintage name 'Audiovisual Club', and I'm reading it at work. I don't think either of us ever escaped 1994.

Of course, none of that is actually mentioned n the films, but I'm just SURE the CGI and puppets were method acting it in their heads the whole time:-)

She's hard to judge, because her only real problem (which is large enough to overshadow much the character) is that the show ran out of time. She's a 'mystery character', clearly designed with more than one season in mind, and that kind of character is usually judged by the payoff when the full truth is finally…

It's also that the DMD ending is stylistically that of the old pulp serial adventures that used to play as short films in the 1950s - it's dark, but also fun in the sense that you could imagine an old-style voice-over coming over the last scene, saying "…how will Crichton escape THIS fiendish trap? Tune in next time…

What autopsy results?

Scary thing is, that first scene really isn't much worse than the first season of Buffy. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE BtVS, but none of us would be talking about it (except to point and laugh) if the show didn't have a leap in quality between seasons 1 and 2 that even puts Star Trek TNG's 'growing the beard' season 2…

Doubt it - there was zero government security/secrecy over the first cloning, Dolly the sheep etc, and even the first human clothing was open in the private sector. Things would only go as you say if it was a government project - recent history tells us that the private sector isn't nearly that organised about their…
