Sure, honey. Here’s the more likely scenario: Dave Bautista gets asked to point to the script approval clause in his contract.

Interesting. I wonder how this would go down if I walked up to Dave Bautista and made a shitty “shock humour” homophobic comment about his mother? Nor have I noticed Karen Gillan and Zoe Saldina being particularly willing to split that particular hair when it comes to the online abuse they’ve been directly subjected…

It would have been nice if they could have spared one sentence to acknowledge that sexual violence against women and children is NEVER a joking matter, and there’s no statute of limitations on the harm it causes.

What do “ratings” mean for a streaming service, anyway? Their business models depends on keeping the subscribers they’ve got on the hook, and adding more. A LOT more. I don’t think they can keep up literally spending billions of dollars a year on content acquisition across the board, but as you say they’re not just…

But that’s not how their business model works. The whole reasoning behind spending literally billions of dollars this year alone on “scaling up” is keeping up a constant churn of fresh content to keep subscribers on the hook. They can afford to wait (a while) for Stranger Things , but they’re a streaming service not…

No they’re not — but they’re also not mayflies with a three day lifespan.

Hell, no. Anyone who presumes to apologise on my behalf is going to get hit with a whole dictionary of words that can’t be said on television — or anywhere else.

Apparently Bradley Walsh still is. I don’t know when he’s going to sleep, but the BBC and ITV sat down and thrashed out his schedule so he can do both.

OMFG, an advertisement is encouraging people to watch the show its promoting.  WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS CEASE! 

Least we forget, and not to put too fine a point on it, Doctor Who kicked off with The First Doctor abducting his first two companions. And being a giant asshole about it.

Jodie Whittaker is from Yorkshire, and yeah that’s her accent. It’s 2018, and actors aren’t obliged to talk like they staggered out of Downton Abbey with a whole canteen of silver spoon up their butts anymore.

Exactly — and hell, it’s also been pretty firmly established that regeneration can be a pretty traumatic process. Hell, back in the day, the Sixth Doctor was so fraked up he assaults and almost kills his companion.

I don’t see it — Alex Kingston is well on the record saying she had a great time, never say never and all that but she thought River’s story came (almost) full circle in a really satisfying way. And why I like Kingston and the character a lot, why the hell would Chris Chibnall want to revisit Moffat’s greatest hits…

Never has before - and Gods please can we get away from the template of an incredibly co-dependent and clingy Doctor-companion relationship. If the companions end up being a good mix of temperaments and personalities, it justt gives everyone more room to make The Doctor a more complex and interesting character.

I don’t think it had anything to do with content or tone from what I’ve read back in December. I’ve got no idea how sustainable it is, but Netflix drive to “upscale” is leading to serious cash being spent on acquiring new content across the board and they basically outbid the CW. As I understand it, Sabrina isn’t just…

I’m probably grossly over-thinking things here, but I can recall a surprising number of fight scenes in bathrooms. And it makes a certain amount of perverse sense if you wan to start with at least half your audience already feeling sligtly tense — after all, I don’t know about you, but I tend not to linger in…

It was originally intended for The CW but wasn’t being developed “in-house” by the network, so not to put too fine a point on it when Netflix made Warner Brothers TV a better offer they grabbed it. Not just a straight-to-series two season order, but (unlike Riverdale) WBTV retains full ownership of the show.

Time to stop being PC and just admit white people are too emotionally fragile and intellectually weak to hand the strains of public life. I know it sounds really harsh, but those people can’t help the way God made them and it’s doing them no favours to elevate them above their natural station. 

Fair point, and you’re not wrong — my introduction to Sandman was the first trade paperback and I had no idea what the hell I was looking at. But Gaiman himself has said that while Karen Berger was enormously supportive, there was a lot of tension with executives further up the food chain who wanted... well, a much…

This is basically why I didn’t feel any need to extend my three strikes rule for new shows for Ghosted — honestly, if you haven’t figured out what you’re trying to hit tonally or thematically, why should I hang around until you’ve done the work you should have nailed down in development and pre-production?
