“Ratings” are now a nearly useless metric, and viewing figures have been going down for everything across the board because almost nobody but your gran still watches TV as it airs anymore. The BBC viewership numbers are especially useless however, since the show is now available a full day earlier if you can figure…

I could have sworn that they were actively filming Graveyard Book a while back.

I mean, they didn’t specify exactly what it was, but I remember shortly after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended, Neil Gaiman teasing that he was super busy with three different projects in production at once, and he was about to pop off to…

However, Deadline reports Werewolves starring Frank Grillo, Katrina Law and Lou Diamond Phillips is now scheduled for a December 6, 2024 theatrical release date.

The article says they’re defining “toxicity” by “how much of a dose it would take to kill 50% of users” but considering how potent fentanyl is and how little a human has to ingest to go from a prescribed painkiller to an overdose, that actually sounds like what they’re saying is “the amount of powdered fly agaric…

You kids these days with your fancy muscaria gummies!
Back in my day, if you wanted to get high off of fly agaric, you had to force-feed it to your pet reindeer and then drink the muscimol (fermented reindeer piss), or wait around and drink the piss of the person who previously drank the muscimol... sometimes up to 8 ti…

But our record profits!! 

Yeah, one thing TNG/DS9 era Star Trek and Terry Pratchett got right is that there’s no such thing as villains... just people who are fanatical enough about achieving their goals that they’re willing to kill you for standing in their way.

Lazily written two-dimensional baddies are so boring, and one of the few areas…

My wife and I are even more excited for Severance ever since she got a job with Franchise Tax over the summer.

Dan Erickson clearly must have had a job there at some point earlier in his career, because so much of the show seems to be based on that experience. The whole “look at these numbers and highlight any areas…

He said additional images, so presumably they’re stills that weren’t in the video.

To be fair, Mark Polonia (and his brother John) were making terrible low budget movies long before CGI and digital video became commonplace.

I just saw the single frame image that shows the pyramids, and “Sue Tech” is exactly the level of subtle we can expect from RTD, so yeah, I’ll begrudgingly admit this theory might have some leverage.

Of course, unlike The Toymaker, Fenric, or the Gods of Ragnarok, who are extra-dimensional beings, the Osirans were…

Ugh... I hope not. That was absolutely horrible.

There are a few Tom Baker episodes that have incredibly long reprises after the cliffhangers, but those usually tend to be the longer 6-parters like Seeds of Doom where they were padding the story out as much as possible to begin with.

One of the 2-part Colin Baker…

Update: Ncuti and Millie will be the guests in the upcoming episode of Tales of the TARDIS, but they say it will be “interwoven with our current narrative, but linked to a classic story.”
Which strongly implies that the episode they’re watching is linked to the events of the finale, but none of the six that I listed…

Also, I have no idea where the hell people are getting Sutekh from. There has been nothing in the series to date that would even remotely point towards his return other than him being one of several “gods” featured on the show. Fenric, The Beast, the Black Guardian, The Gods of Ragnarok, or one of the Eternals would…

You missed two very important details. One is that the Memory TARDIS appears to be *IN* the finale itself, as there’s a brief clip of Ncuti opening the doors with what looks like Mel standing behind him:

I am giddy with excitement at the thought of new Wallace and Gromit...
But also slightly apprehensive since Peter Sallis, the iconic voice of Wallace, died back in 2017.

You only hear one line of dialogue in the teaser, which is recycled from The Wrong Trousers, so as of this time, we have no idea who will be doing the…

And of course, they’re going to insist they be painted matte black so they’re impossible to see in the dark. Which the police think will turn them into ninja stealth Batman but which actually means they’re going to be constantly clipped and rear-ended every time they park with their strobes off (especially given the…

Given that our grossly overfunded police forces love to blow taxpayer money on useless tiny-dick paramilitary bullshit, then claim there’s no budget left for body cameras, de-escalation training, or anything else that would actually help protect the community they’ve been hired to serve, this seems right up their…

Basically, RTD needed to pick two out of the three main ideas he had for this story, and then run with that, sacrificing the scene that doesn’t fit the narrative.

Right... so lots of mixed feelings about this one. Much like the previous story, 73 Yards, it’s an episode that keeps you glued to the screen and mostly hits, but as soon as it’s over, you immediately stop and think “wait a second, that’s one hell of a gaping plot hole. Why wasn’t that fixed in the final draft?”
