Agreed. Leandro isn't even in the top 50 of the "shit" aliens this show has done in the past 50 years. Jesus I hate Who "fandom" sometimes. I've never encountered a fandom that seems to be more full of self-loathing and shitting on other fans.

I would totally show this episode to an outsider (though probably I'd start with the first part), yes. This *is* Doctor Who. Also, if you honestly think this episode or this show is anywhere near "Power Rangers" or "Syfy original series," you're just trolling and haven't the fucking first clue what you're talking…

EXACTLY THIS.

How someone (Grimmy up there) could write that comment who has actually seen Doctor Who prior to this episode suggests some sort of memory or brain disorder. You're absolutely right - this is what Doctor Who is. And always has been - if not WORSE.

I don't think you need to "explain yourself." This is Doctor Who, and this is what Doctor Who does. And has done since more or less the beginning, but certainly since 2005. I mean, we got farting aliens in 2005, and the TARDIS flying earth across the galaxy in whatever the hell year that was. This episode's…

Yeah, bingo, what this guy said. Sheesh. I'm convinced Doctor Who "fandom" is maybe the worst fandom. And all I ever see of @avclub-298673367c6de609ae5970ce1e699c50:disqus is negative - so maybe go watch something else? Or ask someone to get rid of whoever is holding a gun to your head and making you watch Doctor…

So why the fuck are you even watching it, then? This *is* Doctor Who. Have you ever seen this show?

Or, you know, have any writing skills or taste.

Who ever fucking said it was a "big answer?" It was an answer. And the entire idea of the show is "The Doctor helps people," and has been as far back as I remember. Why does every thing have to be "big?" Are you overcompensating for something there?

THIS. I know it's a hell of a lot easier to just target practice on one person, but besides Lost and now The Leftovers, anything Lindelof has been involved in has had many other cooks in the kitchen, and Prometheus being the top thing he gets shit for bugs me, as he was specifically brought in because Scott wanted to…

ALL of which came from Ridley Scott. Do you think Lindelof overrode what Scott wanted to do or the store he already wanted to tell? I get so sick of people who just hate someone with no actual knowledge of them (which, of course, basically means I should just hate the Internet in general). Lindelof as "the guy who…

"Whore-Pop?"

Peri marrying Brian Blessed, though, was the very definition of a bullshit toss-off, because they didn't even tell the actress about it (she found out when she watched the show). Marrying off the women to get rid of them is not in my mind that great of an alternative to tragedy.

Tell that to Game of Thrones, as that's their defense of the copious rapes - "it's an unpleasant world," etc.

Actually, no, I don't necessarily agree with the points being put forth in the rest of this argument, but that is bullshit. I once went out on a date with a woman who pinned me against a car and put her hand down my pants with me very clearly not giving consent. I was able to stop it, but at first there was some…

But it doesn't indicate why his "ass" is broke. If you're broke, there's not much else to do but sit on your ass.

Yep, I thought the finale was utterly awful and made me swear I'd not follow the show next season. The trailer kind of pulled me back in. I do think Capaldi's great and I like Clara.

I almost died in October. The circumstances were very specific and have required me to need time to get over them and work on the aftermath. Were I to run upon an article or comment graphically depicting a similar situation - which, in fact, actually happened - it would be upsetting to me. Having a courtesy of…

Not liking someone talking about apricots is not the same thing as having been abused and someone else when talking about abuse courteously mentioning that so the person can be prepared. Being an asshole about that just makes you…well, an asshole. Being pissed off that someone was being courteous? Clearly, you're…

I find it incredibly silly to think that commemorating TV's most famous witch in statue form constitutes a historical retcon that subtly shifts the blame of the hysteria onto the victims by implying they were actual witches. If anything, continuing the use Bewitched / Samantha as an example, the show's stories set in…
