"There was a rumor about a tumor
Nestled at the base of his BRAIIIIIIIIN!"
Kinky Friedman- The Ballad of Charles Whitman

As much as I like Alpha Centauri, they do have the certain problem of looking like a penis in a cloak, which is why Big Finish Alpha Centauri works better as they aren't so damn distracting.

Agreed. After a Moffat bad episode, one responds: "Well, that sucked."
Davies' bad episode: "AUUUUGGGHHHH!!! MY EYES!! TEAR THEM OUT!!!!"

Mind you, in this simulation Francis is not Pope (he seems to be Italian) and Trump is not President (because any computer simulation that had to include Trump as President would consider it a glitch and shut down immediately.) DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Having seen Auto Focus, I thought Schrader inadvertently made the case that Crane's death was assisted suicide. Yes, most assisted suicides involve pharmaceutics, not lead pipes, but as Schrader and Kinnear imagine Crane, it is entirely possible that a guy whose life was falling apart but who truly loved his family

In my headcanon, in the Breaking Bad Universe he's the guy they hire to play "Saul Goodman" in the inevitable movie of Walter White's life.

Yes, I was half waiting for David Cross to come out in an Afro.

A conspiracy theory has to be complicated. It has to explain away every direct fact that contradicts it. We have exchanged Occam's Razor (the simplest story is most likely the true one) for Occam's Kaleidoscope (the best story is the one we will claim is true),

Next time… on A Very Special Episode: The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, “Episode 5”

He was originally conceived as being someone who could punch people if need be.Then they cast Tom Baker who could punch people perfectly well on his own. So Harry had no real reason for being. Not the only companion of whom that could be said.

When Harry ran back to the elevator, my first thought was "Harry Whateverhisnameis is an imbecile!"
And then I read this in The Guardian:
" This may be the most oblique reference yet, given that it doesn’t even feature in the episode. But in the new Doctor Who Magazine, Bartlett reveals a backstory for housemate Harry

See, THIS is the comment that calls for a "Hey, now!"

He already covered Ian McKellen's Richard III. How many Nazi Shakespeare's do you need?

F*** yeah.

Ya betcha!

Generally far more compelling to watch Howard hoist himself over a wall, because we know who he is and what would drive him to mess up his suit like that, than to watch some courier we have never seen before slide down a steep hill on his butt, even though the actions are not dissimilar.

It's a BBC thing. They put in breaks when they feel they are necessary. In the Colin Baker era, there was an 18 month hiatus. (See below response.)

Quick, print that out on a 7 foot banner and send it to Kevin Murphy. The old Tom Servo one is starting to fall apart after so long.

Jimmy is gonna try to break out of the hell hole prison he's trapped in. (Sorry, Cinnabon. Sorry, Nebraska.)

"perhaps this week’s review will feature an exploration of Bob’s beloved middle child?"
Sure, a discussion of Gene would be great, even though both episodes are about Tina, Bob's oldest child.
