Yep. That’s the kind of leadership DC needs. Someone who knows their limitations and strengths. He isn’t someone who’s going to pretend to do or like something bc of name brand recognition. We’re gonna see some obscure shit get the limelight.  

I love the Guardians movies and The Suicide Squad, and while I’m excited to see more James Gunn DC movies, I don’t want every DC movie to be a James Gunn movie. He’s said in the past that he likes to take lame, reject comic characters that no other directors can take seriously, and imbue them with more heart and…

1) allergies aside, an egg yolk omelette sounds downright upsetting. 

Oh thank god. I mean it could’ve been any other streaming service, but at least it’ll reliably come to SOME streaming subscription service.

Hope it’s not just the new episodes

But that’s an insanely low bar to clear. Moffat had some stellar individual episodes, but never wove together any sort of coherent arc that wasn’t some puzzlebox nonsense. Chibnall just.. look, it was an absolute mess. Chasing the fun with no sense of how that fun needs to be structured to make sense.

Pretty much. The BBC has been under brutal scrutiny for the way it spends its money and it has ben subject to harsh cuts ever since 2012, and its budget when it came back from the long hiatus was never particularly great to start with (apparently DW’s budget has never even reached the equivalent of $2 million an…

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I absolutely recognized the RTD era’s faults as they were happening (I’ve often posted about my disdain for the WB-style teen angst romance dross and cringy missteps like the farting aliens), but I appreciated the fact that it was (IMO), overall, a very strong comeback and beyond…

Yeah, RTD had his moments, but imo he also aged the show terribly with his obsession over cramming in current pop culture stuff (having Britney Spears as “classical music” far in the future for instance) and, iirc, he also presided over the Starship Titanic xmas episode which was one of the worst things ever broadcast…

Remember when David Tennant got turned into Dobby but then got better because Martha Jones traveled the world to convince people to believe in Fairies- er, the Doctor, and when they all clap at the same time he turns back into a normal Doctor and the day is saved?

That’s it, everyone. We've officially run out of ideas.

Is it because the BBC is run in such a bewildering, political way that we can’t just have Doctor Who back as a weekly series that runs at normal and predictable intervals? I am weary of hearing about how it’s coming back for “specials” sometime next year. It’s a great way for a long-running show, even one as beloved…

I used to feel sorry for her. It seems like she was pretty fucked up after the mass sexual assault in Egypt followed by imploding her mainstream journalism career with the Benghazi stuff.

He doesn’t want to make it better, he wants to make it more profitable to him, then either shutter it or sell it off and claim it was always doomed to fail.

1. Sack all of the moderators

Nice take. The on-screen lack of “consequences” of an Empire or First Order, at least for people not running around with lightsabers or fighters, was always a missed opportunity to me. The “coolness” of stormtrooper uniforms and Vader himself was always a too-thick layer of icing around an cruel, authoritarian cake.

Who…

I have to wonder if maybe the backlash against Andor isn’t rooted so much in a lack of Easter Eggs or revisionist takes on canon events, as this simple fact:

also they were later burned at the stake, probably. 

Considering Musks companies revealed a couple of years back that between them they employed over 150 people (100 at SolarCity and 50 at Tesla) as sock pockets purely to post in the comments news articles, social media and message boards spamming good corporate PR and personally attack critics of his products, and 12…

Honestly, I'd be more surprised if the Russians and Chinese weren't fucking with Wikipedia. 

The original linked article is really good. This is where my extended family live (Springfield/Joplin area). It’s not surprising to me that the woman describes herself as Christian and prolife, and then was surprised that she struggled to get care for a miscarriage/medical emergency, that a Christian crisis pregnancy…
