She also has an upcoming recurring role on the new Hulu series Casual, starring Benched co-creator Michaela Watkins. Synergy! Or something!

Considering just how many big name people they managed to get in to skewer themselves, and play otherwise unconnected characters, I'm really curious to know if the producers ever actually approached Andrew Garfield to play himself, or if they were too embarrassed to pitch him the joke. I'm still working my way through…

UnREAL was shot entirely in Vancouver, I believe. They did a whole lot better at hiding it than most "Canada-stands-in-for-L.A./New York" shows, but it was most noticeable the few times they left the Everlasting complex. Their England was pretty good, all things considered, although it was also way too sunny to be…

I realised UnREAL is airing its season finale this week so I finally decided to give it a go over the weekend. I've been looking forward to it ever since I read the synopsis ages ago, partially because of Marti Noxon's involvement (shows involving former Buffy writers always deserve at least a checking out!), and the…

To be fair, I'm fairly certain all the cast members who attended the panel are New York based (I know Jamie Clayton and Brian J. Smith are, at least, and the only other two in attendance were Daryl Hannah and Naveen Andrews), but I still agree, I'm pretty optimistic about a renewal.

I've seen some wild fan speculation that they're holding off until the 8th of August to announce Sense8's renewal (y'know, 8/8/8, if you add up the numbers in 2015), which I guess I could buy, but it still seems an awfully convoluted reason to drag out an announcement like that. Either way, I'm taking the fact the TCA…

How much attention do you personally pay to critical reception, versus audience reaction? Is one more helpful to you than the other?

I didn't much enjoy what I saw of Angel when I first attempted to watch it and eventually gave up on it, but after years of rewatching Buffy so many times from quite a young age and realising just how much I loved Cordelia and missed her once she was gone I finally gritted my teeth and threw myself in, and I'm glad I…

Except it's not the default. We're shown throughout the books that many of Harry's peers have non-magical backgrounds, on either one or both sides of their families. Even Harry himself technically has a non-magical background, what with having a muggleborn mother and being raised by the Dursleys. And wizarding lives ar…

I always enjoy how many people's response to that is, "The wizarding dating pool is small, who else could they have ended up with!?" and it's like… literally anyone in the world. The whole series is about how fucked up and insular the wizarding community is because of their prejudice towards muggles, and literally all…

I believe he shows up in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, although I haven't got around to watching it yet so I don't know in what capacity. Maybe you already know that and you mean it'd just be cool to see him live-action again—which five year-old me who thought Darth Maul was really awesome totally agrees with—but…

I mean, she presumably already had a contract with E!, so it's not surprising they'd get first right of refusal on a spin-off specifically about her. She's just as famous for her appearances on reality television as she is her sporting career, if not more so these days, using reality TV as a platform for change is the…

Yeah, Jenny got a shout out for the first time since The Doctor's Daughter in Death in Heaven ("I have a non-Gallifreyan daughter created via genetic transfer."), seemingly out of the blue, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's either an intentional red herring, or a genuine possibility. Either way, Moffat wanted people…

Not really. Sure, they met again, but absolutely no comment is made about what she's been through, or how she felt about being abandoned like that. It was disappointingly devoid of resolution. The fact Sarah Jane doesn't seem to recall the events of The Five Doctors when she meets the Tenth Doctor makes me think that…

The very first story featuring the Daleks way back in 1963/64 ended with all of the Daleks supposedly destroyed, so it's kind of a tradition to kill them all and never explain where the next set came from when they pop up again. I mean, presumably there are just lots and lots of them terrorising people throughout time…

Within the classic series the ageing is fairly consistent (barring a few claims of being "thousands of years old", which is total bluster on his part), rising from 450 in Tomb of the Cybermen, to 759 in The Ribos Operation (the most accurate age ever attributed to him, purely because it's still-swotty Romana who gives…

People can dismiss it all they want, but Dimensions in Time allowed the sixth Doctor to appear on-screen with the Brigadier, and gave us some amazing outtakes, including Kate O'Mara being told she was playing the Rani too camp ("I thought this was a camp programme. Dear god, I've been under this delusion all these…

I'm really excited about this. I'm all for more Clara and the Doctor, and now her connections to home are even more tenuous I'm ready to see them throw themselves fully into their adventures, as much as I enjoyed her more human dramas last series.

Yeah, I can totally understand why people are wary about things Moffat says, and I don't begrudge people tapping out of his shows because it overshadows their enjoyment, but despite some stumbles he has written and created many truly wonderful female characters that I'm glad exist. He, just like any writer, is…

Oh yeah, it's a different production, I thought you meant reboot in the more traditional sense. My bad! They chose to start with series one in 2005 to make it easier to market to new audiences, although some fans go out of their way to continue the numbering from the classic series for various reasons.
