Yeah, honestly, why the hell is civilization even continuing now that Mayall is dead?

I mean, Blackadder II is also great! And it's great in part because it's got a much bigger cast than III, which let it do a wider variety of jokes and character beats. I love III because it's so perfectly streamlined. It's like Blackadder distilled to its essence.

That Captain Jack reference was a little odd, and I wouldn't be shocked if Tregenna threw it in there as a reference to her own past work in the Whoniverse. But I also would not rule out a Barrowman return, as he's still more or less plausible as Jack. (I mean, he really doesn't look at all like 2005-era Jack, but…

That Blackadder III could be the best without Flasheart is a tribute to its greatness. It's like LeBron dragging a Cavs team with like 3 healthy players to the brink of the championship.

I think what makes the examination of the Doctor's character work better here than it does elsewhere is that Ashildr keeps it all so concrete. Like there's even that moment in which the Doctor is beaming about Ashildr rediscovering herself, and she immediately points out not to worry about her and go save these…

Oh like Sean O'Neal wasn't the Valeyard all along.

It's definitely preferable to the Torchwood perma-grimace. Gotta let Barrowman be free to smirk at the universe, dammit!

Pretty sure this is going to be the real Sara. But Arrow might have to call in his best friend John Constantine to help Sara get a handle on her soul!

Yeah, but if you think about it, Derrick Rose's career arc has been a transformation from the Flash into iZombie.

Have you considered joining our committee?

Oh, I think the reviews would be great! I just can't imagine the readership would be there to justify putting a single reviewer on it, let alone two.

This isn't meant to take away anything from the Red Sox's last championship — because seriously, a championship is a championship, who cares how anyone won one? — but is 2013 starting to look like just the craziest outlier in history? It's bookended on either side by at least two seasons of pretty much utter shit,…

It would be a terrible, *terrible* waste of AVC resources, but I'd love to do an expert/newbie tag team of those with LaToya or Kyle.

I mean, the day you can instantly tell apart white, shaved-headed, Pennsylvania-associated wrestler types is the day you need to get out more. So it's all good.

Sam Seaborn is idealistic, yet handsome. Rob Lowe is handsome, yet idealistic. Chris Traeger says "literally" a lot.

Yeah, looking at photos of Schlutz and Sanderson, I'd say it's more likely Schultz. The dude in the photo is definitely a bit older around the eyes than Sanderson.

Johnson and Rhee are married, and I'd say all available evidence indicates he's been just as much of a corrupt, lecherous shithead after their marriage as he was before.

This sounds like a good system! Has the system generally worked okay? I mean, I don't know a ton about John Key other than (a) his name is John Key, which immediately makes me more knowledgeable about the New Zealand PM than, like, 98% of Americans (for some stupid reason I even know the three PMs before him, though I…

Huh, weird that that's the only circulating promo photo for the doc. I would have guessed it was the surviving Schultz.

That thought did occur to me. Needed to streamline the joke.
