The whole reason they aged Spike up was because they thought it was too silly to have a world weary 27-year-old. But that was the point with Spike, that he’d been through so much violence and hell through his short life.

Yeah, but Charles doesn’t seem like one of them.

Looked bad from the trailers.

Sometimes I wonder if Annalee still stops by io9 to see how it’s going.

The Upside Down is awful enough without involving the 90s in it.

Never mind the Upside Down; in Season 5 the gang has to plunge into the most terrifying realm of all -- the housing market! 

Other commenters seem to disagree, but I feel much the same from what we’ve seen so far. Most of what’s come out has been led by a faithfulness that’s closer to mimicry than adaptation, and the show could be fun, but “inessential” if you will. There’s no new energy, and at the same time it doesn’t quite match the…

I’m like ready for a future cyber punk Game of Thrones, it’s been medieval for legit 1000's of years.

They have setup this Venom to be much less of a villain and more the antihero from the get-go. Even the description above sounds odd. Why would he have it out for Spidey, out of nowhere. Just seems poorly setup and forced.

Under Davies and Moffet’s runs, Dr Who was getting over 10 M viewers a week in the UK, and now it’s down under 5 Million. In the US, I’m sure the fall off has been similar (I haven’t watched in years).

“awful pantomime camp nonsense”

The idea that Russell T. Davies (who went on to make stuff like Children of Earth, It’s a Sin, and Years and Years) wouldn’t be able to breathe new life into the series after already once BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO THE SERIES doesn’t really make much sense to me, yeah.

A-fucking-men.

What’s particularly galling about NippedInTheBud’s old comments when you consider them in the context of the story Blood and Water was actually telling is that Paul Xie was not just a man suffering from an unfortunate affliction he had no control over. Throughout the series’ first season, Paul’s shown to be a…

Thank you. I was wondering how in Gizmodo’s eyes Mr. Liu’s actions compared to “Sexist Football Coach”, “Has-Been Actor Who Thinks Actress Isn’t Very Good”, or even “Actress Who Went To A Ball As A Teenager 22 Years Ago And Honestly Regrets It And Isn’t Actually Racist But Trust Me You Should Be Angry At Her Anyway”.

I’d highly recommend reading the article linked in this one. It’s a bit more thorough. This article is just a fucking hit piece that cherry picks the absolute worst takes on the whole situation.

I hope no one knows who I am through my kinja account. The last thing my constituents need is more ammunition against their Prime Minister. 

I’d watch the hell out of that.

You know, if this thing really wanted to be a metaphor for how racism works in the real world, then it should have been the humans who sided with the dark lord 2000 years ago and the Orcs who defeated them, and they humans are still pissed off at the Orcs because of it.

It’s hatebait . You wrote an article decrying something popular.People read it to see how wrong the writer is and then engage . Just like we’re doing now.
