Let's end on Trek at its best instead.

Peter Davison's daughter also played Jenny. Which means that the Doctor's daughter, who played the Doctor's daughter in the story "the Doctor's Daughter" married the Doctor and recently gave birth to the Doctor's daughter.

Since Worf had been living on the Defiant, this means the Breen have also destroyed all his furniture.

I rate Young Frankenstein a little higher just because its narrative holds all the way to the end, whereas Blazing Saddles sort of flies off the rails into something a little too "meta" before it gets there.

Though how the whole villain alliance got to Stonehenge was a bit of a mystery, how the Zygons got from the Elizabethan era to the modern day was explained onscreen.

Although the Doctor's never been shown to have any innate control over what his regeneration looks like, the sixth Doctor bearing a striking resemblance to Commander Maxil from "Arc of Infinity" didn't really require any explanation. So it'd be silly to suddenly feel like an explanation is needed now.

I'm sure Capaldi will be great, but I'm still going to miss Smith.

Reads like something dictation software might screw up. The same error pops up again at the end of the article.

For Your Eyes Only not only has Bond performing a task a spy might actually do, but also features a plot that doesn't culminate in some supervillain's lair (which then explodes).  I think it's Moore's best outing.

I'm surprised there wasn't a contrast with "the Children of Hurin", which was almost entirely JRRT's work and a story he went back to several times before being released posthumously.

The season 5/6 break was hard enough when the show was airing, but now I get to experience it again with the reviews.  So much anticipation.

Farscape featured a fine hostage episode late in its run in which some tense negotiations between Rygel and Scorpius are interrupted by a robbery after all the Peacekeeper soldiers are sent away from the bar they're holding the meeting in.  The robbers are brick-stupid but heavily-armed, so the otherwise untrusting…

Meridian can't work because there's no way the audience will believe a major character is going to leave the show in the middle of the season over some half-baked romance.  We're just killing time waiting for the inevitable breakup.  So when it plays out very predictably, the whole thing feels like a big waste of time.

Of course, even if the world ran out of convenient fuels, there's still other ways to power stuff. So the only way to really take away everyone's lights and motorcars and luxuries is to say the laws of electromagnetism suddenly don't apply, which is pretty much the same thing as saying "a wizard did it".

No doubt about that.  But "Revelation" still spends the first episode with the Doctor nowhere near the action, and the second having the Doctor doing nothing of consequence.  It's as if the writers are having trouble finding him something to do in his own show, which is a recurring problem of the era.

This one had a higher onscreen body count than "the Terminator", as I recall.  It's a real nasty piece of work from a head writer who wanted to do stories about grim space mercenaries but had to keep finding ways to shoehorn the "Doctor" character into them.  See also "the Revelation of the Daleks".
