I think there is a detriment to keeping the role male, although it really doesn't have anything to do with gender politics for me. When you have a show where the central character can be completely reimagined, and they can go on a series of adventures limitless in possibility, it's a rather arbitrary and restrictive…
No. Only Capaldi's character and two other minor ones are the same as in the TV show. It's completely stand-alone.
Oh hell yes Capaldi.
Childrens Hospital really needs to have a disclaimer or something when it uses a fake song that sounds like a real song, in order to save me some fruitless googling.
Another example: in the season 2 premiere, Jesse comes up with a plan to kill Tuco, and Walt brutally attacks how implausible it is when it is something you see all the time in the context of TV and movies (IIRC, they wanted to meet Tuco in an abandoned area and then shoot him when he showed up).

With Ann leaving, Ben will be the sole non-cartoon character.
This is what I've been saying for a long time. The show used to be so detail-oriented, paying lavish attention to all the various ways things can go wrong from a single impulsive decision.

The funny thing, of course, being that they had already depicted Mohammed in "Super Best Friends" and no one cared then.
These Homeland announcements seem coldly calculated to revive my interest in the show.
It's somehow become the site's general discussion topic. Maybe because it's the least-liked regular feature.
What are the odds that Neil Young's "Albuquerque" gets used sometime in the final eight episodes?
Hey! I like Thomas!
If this episode was made today, the emotional resolution would've been ruined because the game would've gone to a shootout.
Reading the review for Drug War has reminded me to tell everyone that they should really watch Election.
I think he would've killed him anyways. "Judeo-Christian principles" versus "he's going to kill your whole family" and all that.
Hey, it worked for Boss!
