Holt should become Marvel’s main composer. Like, how are they not signing her right now for all major films?

I think she’d be the perfect person to explain how ambition works and is channeled in a useful way in Starfleet. Lean more into the ideas they spelled out in this episode: piloting is part of the core of who Ortega is but that conflicts with the desire to do and be more than just a pilot (like going on away missions).

Yeah yeah, we know Judge, men and boys just can’t help but rape if there’s an unguarded hole nearby and it’s up to girls and women to be sober and cover ourselves from head to toe lest we attract their attention. But also smile at them to make them feel better about themselves. But don’t smile too much or they’ll take…

When keeping it real goes wrong?

That’s super fucked-up, but your analogy is right. Did this moron really think he was going to run for anything right now and no one was going to ask him about abortion?

Caring about the characters is going to be difficult, not just because its a prequel that eventually leads to an unsatisfying ending, but having read the source material, everyone becomes horribly unlikeable and its not really a spoiler to say it ends poorly for almost everyone.  Its kinda hard to invest when you both…

Yeah, everyone knows white guys are always unqualified hacks. Always.

I have long since accepted people are dumb.  How anyone can have watched the last Jurassic World and wanted more is beyond me.  But have at it hoss!  You want big dumb dinosaurs, enjoy.

“After all, many things could be true: Gore and Wood could have fabricated a letter, and he also could have raped and abused Wood for years. A fraudulent doc would not render her story automatically untrue; her motivation for doing so could have amounted to gilding the lily for the sake of convincing others of…

Not a fan of the Forces. Williamson’s run was IMO the dullest Flash run in over two decades, and it lasted. So. Long. The Forces were his attempt to give the Flash mythology its own “Rainbow Lantern Corps” and it... didn’t work. It further emphasizes Barry’s lack of characterization since he was brought back from the…

I’ve thought of it not being romantic, but everything always revolves around Shadow, to the point where they’ve even turned Bilquis into a mystical matchmaker for this, so I’m not very hopeful that they won’t throw Laura’s arc under the bus so Shadow can have her back at the end of the story. I see the large-scale…

Springfield aint San Francisco or NYC. The cost of living there is so low to where you can live comfortably at 50k even with three kids.

The funny thing about Superman is that his combination of godlike power and incorruptible morality kinda forces both the writers and the audience to exist in a perpetual state of brainless presentism. Is money an issue and/or allegory literally staring them directly in the face this very moment? If so, well then, off…

Mike started to feel angry while Stacey was talking of her fear of forgetting Matty, though. I believe that’s the link to the flashback at the beginning of the episode.

Not that old. Kelly's tombstone said she was 73, didn't it? So it's around 25-odd years from now, assuming she was a teenager/young adult in the 80s. The 2002 cases are presumably middle-aged people with terminal illnesses, or severe disabilities like Yorkie's.

And the episodes that got me interested in this show in the first place. A horror movie in space facing off against the Devil. How could I not love this?
And for the Doctor/Rose-shippers, "Satan Pit" arguably has the two biggest "squee" moments for the duo.
"If you see Rose, tell her…tell her I…oh she knows."
"I've seen…

I had the same thought.  Though on the flipside, Stan is just coming off of a deep undercover sting that seems to have put him in constant and serious danger.  It's understandable that his wife would want to be re-assured that he isn't constantly in harm's way.

This is neither a complaint nor a spoiler
I love Matt Smith (didn't expect to), Amy, and most of the new episodes. Even the ones I didn't adore (space whale, WWII daleks) were still fun to watch. However, I haven't yet seen one that I know I'll want to watch again, and show to people who need to understand what's so…

I feel Smith really comes into his own with The Beast Below. His physicality in this one is just miles beyond the Eleventh Hour, already (though episodes 4 and 5 were filmed first, actually). He's definitely become the "Indiana Jones meets Stan Laurel" nutty professor, and I love not knowing how much is Smith, and how…

nice to see alex kingston getting some work
She was really charming and enjoyable as River Song. Thank goodness she's not still on that maudlin "ER".
