That by the way is the King's song in The King's Demons and is probably the only thing worth taking away from that episode, though I was kind of hoping there would be a Sir Giles Estram in tonight's episode.

We sing in praise of total war
Against the Saracen we abhor
To free the tomb of Christ our Lord,
We'll put the known world to the sword,
There is no glory greater than,
To serve with gold the son of man,
No riches here on Earth shall see,
No scutage in eternity.

Frank Oz is dead to the Muppets, but is still breathing (and directing).

pleasedon'tsuck, pleasedon'tsuck, pleasedon'tsuck, I already had my heart broken once by Eight Million Ways To Die (and then again by Burglar, which changed the character's race and gender, and was STILL more faithful to the Block novels than Eight Million Ways to Die .)

True, but I was hoping for corridors that looked a little more organic .

I felt this was kind of a wobbly episode. The plot seemed equal parts Dalek and The Invisible Enemy, the inside of a Dalek looked like, well, a corridor, and the most heartfelt death scene in a while instantly has its poignancy ripped asunder by a pointless appearance by the Big Bad. Yes, Missy, we know you show up at…

I was kind of hoping this was a remake of The Road to Wellville and Patton Oswalt was playing a doctor who specialized in devising "instruments for theraputic massage".

"Hey, Bartleby, a bunch of us are going to the bar after work. Wanna come?"
"I would prefer not to."
"Um…yeah…okay…well, I'll see you tomorrow then."

I'm going to plug 1964's Seance on a Wet Afternoon, which I've been doing all over the Internet this evening. He plays the henpecked husband of a would be psychic. They decide the quickest way to achieve noteriety is to discover a kidnapped child, that they themselves have kidnapped. Great character - based thriller.

It's not really. Her novels are all set in the past and while she talks a great deal about the society in which the book is set (usually Victorian London), she does not go in for forensic details or psychological suspense so there are no novels written from the perspective of a murderer, for example. If you didn't…

Of note is the fact that in the short story, they are shouting at poor Marilyn/Mary, in the TV episode, they all want "what's best for her". It makes a superb double bill with Eye of the Beholder.
Also I love that the psychatrist is called Dr. Sigmund Friend.

And I could be played by some tiny tit in a beard.

And Then……

Ah, yes, the episode with my favorite Six Feet Under character: Howard Jablum.

His own great,great, grandfather ……… Mr. VINCENT HANNA

Six Feet Under did an excellent job of Very Bad Things happening to people out of the blue every week in the opening death scenes, including one where the character was shot during a home invasion and another where the character was a victim during a mass shooting. There was usually a spot during the episodes when the…

I believe she slipped in the shower, fell through the glass door, and broke her neck. I don't remember if they specifically say.

I was disappointed in the episode precisely because it didn't feel like an episode of Six Feet Under. SFU, I felt, was very real and this episode was anything but.
The idea of the protagonist being kidnapped has appeared in a lot of TV shows. I remember Joan of Arcadia had an episode about the same time as this in…

Who knew Tim Roth liked to tag Spanish-language content?

Mine too, the first time it was on PBS. They started with The Ribos Operation, of course, and I saw some of that, but it didn't catch and hold me the way The Pirate Planet did. Now, ironically, I hold The Ribos Operation in much higher regard and re watch it far more often than The Pirate Planet for all of the reasons…
