"I see that it wouldn't be a thought provoking, gender masterpiece…" Right, but Rowan obviously thought it was, and I was responding to his review.

y u mad tho?

No, like I said in my first post, it's silly to penalize a show for not addressing feminist issues. I don't watch "It's Always Sunny" and dissect it through a feminist lens. And Misfits for the most part is the same way. The show is funny, and violent and offensive.…

It's already made over $250 million WW. A sequel is pretty likely but it might take a while.

That was a really interesting article, thank you!

EW is shit.

No.

I don't think Alisha's power addressed sexual assault from a female perspective. Most of her arc involved her having sex with men against their will. And you could read her power as a"punishment" for her being promiscuous. So yeah, Misfits is a problematic show. Which doesn't stop it from being entertaining, but does…

Ahhh, Splice… thank you for reminding me of that cracktacular movie.

… Exactly. And that's why it isn't transgressive. The fact that "..the most direct attempt by a fictional TV show to address issues of gender, sexuality, rape & rape culture, and queerness" is from the perspective of a straight male is bullshit.

Ehhhhhh. I checked it out cause of the grade (haven't watched since the "milk guy" episode) and I wasn't a fan. The switches from serious moments to horror to comedy lacked that effortless feeling Misfits usually has. All the dancing moments, the "that Rudy is so wacky!" moments, it all felt stale and perfunctory…

ffs, it was literally one line in an eight paragraph review. How did it indicate surprise? He was just pointing it out. Christ.

Rory is The Master.

Tennant is a great actor and his love of the role just shines through, but yeah the writing often made 10 look like an insane hypocrite. Moffat's writing isn't perfect by any means, but 11 has had really consistent and clear characterization all the way through.

Eccleston was my favourite, but he really wasn't around that long. Look at Smith's first performances, then at something like his monologue in Closing Time and you can really see how he's grown in the role.

"I rather it be dark with a thrill than a thinly veiled rehashed storyline with a (not so clever) twist.."

Davies specials were just episodes that just happened to air on Christmas.

Yeah I agree. Even though I did really enjoy it.

IKR. Are those comma splices? What are those?

Never read the tumblr tag for any show you like.
