PULL THE LEVER, MYLES. *lever reads "Commenter Ejection Switch"*

That's what I'm wondering. Quite literally, what does someone who's read all the books released so far have on someone that hasn't? We're all in the same boat now.

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. Nyssa, Turlough, Romana, Leela, lots of great companions have been non-human over the years.

I wonder if they'll decide they need a male companion now so it won't be entirely bereft of men. I'm all for more male companions, always have been, but it should be kept strictly platonic.

Kris Marshall can kiss my ass, fuck yes!

How dare you call Stark insufferable, good sir! For this insult, I shall have to engage in a bit of the ole' fisticuffs with you.

Needlessly opaque is a good way to describe it. I'm not at all into time jumps that leave the audience wondering what happened to everybody, so the huge gap between "Dog With Two Bones" and "Crichton Kicks" kind of threw me, especially when each previous season had no time pass at all between them. (Thank Alias for

I actually liked the Game of Thrones-y Peacekeeper/Scarran stuff, to be quite honest. Season 4's second half was pretty great now that I really look back on it, it's mostly just the first half, everything before "Unrealized Reality", that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. The show got just a bit too off the

Weirdly enough, I can't find a single thing to disagree with you on in that whole paragraph, and yet Season 3 still readily beats the fourth for me. Probably just personal taste. I enjoy when sci-fi gets dark and character-driven, which episodes like "Green Eyed Monster", "Incubator", and "Relativity" had in spades.

Stargate is worth your time. SG-1 starts out pretty slow and bad, I'll admit, but around Season 3/4 the quality slowly starts creeping in until you suddenly realize it became a pretty enjoyable show when you weren't looking. It becomes legitimately great in my opinion for 4 years after that, through the end of Season

Alasdair, you're too good for us. Thanks for giving us such an amazing parting gift (the second half of which I eagerly anticipate reading tomorrow). Farscape belongs in the ranks of the all-time greatest science fiction TV series, and it's a shame it never gets recognition as such. Your in-depth analysis and

My feelings exactly.

I see a lot of comments saying that this is trying to be the next Breaking Bad, but considering the fact that it's on Netflix, is it possible that this is aiming to be the next Bloodline? Netflix cancelled their very best show (a decision that still makes me mad as all hell), and a dark family drama involving drug

Emo is still a thing if you believe hard enough.

They could care less as long as some sidekick bleeds.

The Black Parade is art. Not a bad song on it, and one of the better concept albums to ever be released since the term 'concept album' became overused and essentially meaningless.

My Chemical Romance is one of the best bands of the last 20-25 years. Of course, I think emo music in general deserves a lot more credit than it usually gets, so I'm probably in the minority. I still resent this site for giving their last album a goddamn D when it was released. Danger Days is fucking amazing, they

I know that's probably intended as an insult but honestly that's two gorgeous guys being used as comparison to yet a third gorgeous guy so *shrug*

All that being said though, I'm also a fan of the final season (TNBA), a lot more than most people are, and wish they'd gotten to do more seasons in that style. The whole group dynamic with Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Jason Todd Robin (they called him Tim Drake but it was Jason fucking Todd) was top-notch and how

Season 2 of BTAS was really spectacular, you're like the only one who agrees with me on that. The four you pointed out are stellar (Sideshow never gets enough love) but also Second Chance, A Bullet for Bullock, House & Garden, Catwalk, and Riddler's Reform. An all-time great stretch.
