OotP is at the top of my list too. Might be something to do with how I read it (it was the first one I got on release day, and I was at university amongst other people reading it, and it came out the day after I finished my part 1 Finals), but I just think it's brilliant.

I saw the trailer for this at the cinema the other week and almost could not believe how bad it looked. Okay, I've never seen the original show, so I'm missing a hook and some nostalgia there, but… it just looked bad. Every joke was telegraphed and clunky, every 'serious' moment cracked me up, and the whole thing just…

I personally enjoyed Sweeney Todd a lot, but mostly because I'm a massive Sondheim fan and it just impressed me so much that a successful film musical could be made from the work of a composer who is, generally speaking, not at all mainstream.

Yes, I thought the point was that he doesn't have to switch on the Hulk, but the Hulk is always lurking just itching to smash things - which is the explanation needed at the time of how he is able to just become the Hulk on command.

…I don't really see how the script was that guy's job, though. Yes, it's a slightly ass-ish line, but not really if it's to someone who ought to be focusing on other things and not attempting to rewrite the script in front of the scriptwriter.

I have not read the comics and still thought the sceptre was doing something to exacerbate the situation. Not that those resentments and irritations wouldn't have been there anyway, but it amplified them and made them harder to control (which in Banner's case is even more of a problem than for the rest, and we'd just…

I assumed a hive mind type thing - or that Chitauri couldn't naturally exist in Earth's atmosphere and the mother ship was providing life support. But it wasn't made explicit, certainly.

You're not the only one who's seen it that way, though. Bit concerning…

Ah. I wonder why I didn't know that? I had Virgin at the time though so the knowledge wouldn't have done me any good anyway…

I love how 'giving the one female character in the ensemble some stuff to do' is 'fascination.'

I think I would be completely lost if it weren't for the fact that my only friend who wanted to dissect the show as much as I did was not living nearby and so we emailed our discussions, which led to finding out episode titles as it's more fun to refer to them that way than by numbers. However, some of the titles are…

Yeah, I feel like in a lot of ways the whole of season 3 was Veronica screwing up in ways that hurt those around her, usually recognising it (eventually) but only modifying her behaviour barely if at all. This felt to me like the climax of that, something that was going to have huge repercussions she wouldn't be able…

"Nice car. God, it must have been a huge cereal box."

Yeah, both of those instantly transport me to the mood of the moment, despite me having heard them hundreds of time since.

Yup, it's almost the perfect ending for me. Much better than the pseudo-cliffhangers of the previous two seasons, just painful and open-ended and real.

I've never tried to do a whole top 10, but Echolls Family Christmas is definitely my number 1, and A Trip To The Dentist would be 2.

God, I just loved this show so much. A little too much, perhaps, as I find it hard to be objective about it, but it was just my sort of catnip in so many ways. And, painful as its cancellation can still be, I'm so glad it was announced prior to the final episodes airing, such that when I watched this I knew it was the…

Wow. Ouch, but yeah, that would have been an incredible way for the show to go eventually.

Yup - I lived in Bugbrooke (also a comedy name) for the last 3 years.

He's pretty smug (on a level with Iron Man, I'd say). But on the other hand he also gets punched a fair amount. One may balance out the other for you.
