I never watched Jekyll (it looked pretty bad) but I will always love him because of Peep Show and Alan Johnson.

I think the book was Deathwatch—we had to read that in 8th grade.  A guide takes a rich guy out into the desert to hunt—the rich guy, I think, kills some passerby accidentally but since he doesn't want an investigation he decides to kill the guide, too.  But the guide knows so much about the desert that he is able to…

If you've seen him as Malcolm (or a few of his other roles like Randall on The Hour) I think it's pretty hard NOT to be attracted to him but maybe if you hadn't seen any of his previous performances he might not be that attractive?

While it would be great to have more female roles like the Doctor (archetypal and awesome) in Western culture.  I do think the Doctor is basically always a man.  It seems like Time Lords tend to regenerate into the same gender most of the time (Romana's always a woman, the Master's always a guy).

Firework is a good dumb pop song.   Not truly great like Teenage Dream or Part of Me—but pretty darn good as silly pop songs go.  Boom boom boom.

I don't like the dismissive attitude about teenage girls.  Their opinions about the show are as valid as any other fans'.  Also, I don't hate Moffat—but good god, season six was bad all around—so that right there is a good reason to fathom why someone would dislike his writing.  Even in season five (Moffat's best) the…

I think Moffat is interested in exploring the character of the Doctor—but a lot of the time his scripts are too hyperactive.  It feels like he doesn't have the courage to take an idea and devote a whole episode to exploring it.  He takes an idea—devotes about 5 minutes to it—and then here's another idea!  And another!

I know exactly what you mean.  Usually women on tv have to be so "likeable" and it's so boring and not true to life.  I love Ellen, too. She's hilarious and irritating and great.

I like Arthur Darvill but Rory was indeed a useless drip.  I liked him the first time I watched season 5—but on rewatch I noticed that he whined all the time.  Constant whining.  He wasn't much better in season six.  He was also controlling where Amy was concerned (in the Vampires of Venice, A Town Called Mercy) and…

Martha and Donna were my favorites.  I frickin' loved Martha and I never understand why she's not more popular.  She was a really well-written character and I still think she had the best character arc of anyone on NuWho.  She suffered and grew strong and then walked away from the Doctor to go have more adventures on…

If I didn't like Matt Smith so much, I would have stopped watching after the Wedding of River Song.  It missed enormous character moments (Amy and Rory throughout season six were treated shamefully) and had just plot plot plot dribbling out of the episode's ears.

I saw this movie when I was in high school and I thought it was okay.  Then, many years later, I read and loved the book and so I decided to watch the movie again.  I got so much more out of it—and I think it's one of the few movies based on a book that is a truly successful adaptation.  The final scene's impact…

I've always thought that U2 has basically spent 30 years trying to make a song as good as Straight to Hell.

Yeah, Mark's dad is basically pure evil. 

Although Coco and Alyssa bore me, I did like Alyssa saying during Untucked, "So how do you feel, picking a character you do six nights a week, and only being safe?"

I often feel like i'm watching a different show than the one that is recapped here.

"Amy drug him into this, Amy demanded that their hurrah couldn’t end
with this security crackdown, and Amy dumped the problem into Tyler’s
lap."

I think the first two series have a different feel than the later ones.  It's funny in series one, but there's no warmth at all between Jez and Mark.  In the later series, there's more of a focus on their friendship which becomes equal parts love, hate, and co-dependence.  I don't re-watch the early episodes much.

Soap opera—Probably the last remaining genre that is consistently written off and generalized about.  I mean, of course, all soaps ever made in the past 75+ years have never had humor except of the boneheaded variety.   Even though I remember Santa Barbara often being funny in the 80s or Guiding Light in the early…
