Nah, Myrtle was a cis girl who thought she was safe in the girl’s bathroom, until a duplicitous boy busted in, flashed his snake without consent, and then murdered her. A cautionary tale.

I dunno about “terrible.” Anodyne and middle-of-the-road, sure. (with apologies to Alfonso Cuarón) Rowling in particular has put me off wanting to spend any more time or money on Potter, not to mention my increasing disinclination toward revisiting endless IP franchises. Like, yes, it sure is fun to wallow in…

Ah, yes, the Inhumans model.  

Oh Christ I can totally picture that happening. And they just wear either regular clothes or a very basic costume until the last episode of the season before getting to suit up for about one scene.

“They run out of ring charge in the first five minutes of the first episode because then it can just be a nice cheap cop show.”

I think the “pivot to fantasy” concept had a deleterious effect on the series. The show was already steeped in fantasy, so turning to goblins and faeries seemed like a good enough idea but it didn’t rise to meet my expectations. RTD was never my favorite writer, and his worst tendencies seemed exacerbated throughout.…

Ncuti’s fine as a Doctor that is finally acknowledging his feelings after so long of not. My wife said he does pain really well.

I’m sorry but I just thought of some other things that really bothered me. How did Sutekh die? It wasn’t by being exposed to the time tunnel because in “The Pyramids of Mars’ he “dies” because The Doctor and Sarah Jane used the TARDIS to move the time tunnel so far into the future that Sutekh died of old age before he…

The writing is simply awful - nonsensical, illogical, random and cartoonish. Nothing about this iteration of Doctor Who is in any way science fiction - it is pure fantasy, and poor fantasy at that. Gatwa is charming, but the constant, hyperkinetic and utterly unearned exuberance he shows, especially with regard to his…

It was a mess. The best episodes of the season were “Boom”, “Rogue”, and “Dot and Bubble”*.

All the other episodes ranged from alright to WTF. “73 Yards” seems like the kind of thing that’s good, and it probably would have been if this was an anthology SF series, but when you step away from it and look at it in the…

It’s almost like the audience they were pandering to was nowhere near big enough to carry the show.

Is anyone surprised?  Hollywood has zero moral compass when it comes to their own.  They honor rapists, pedophiles, and woman beaters.  But then turn around and try and tell the rest of us how we should be living our lives.  Its the most morally bankrupt place on the planet filled with the most morally bankrupt people…

Honestly, I’m glad he’s out of the MCU. I don’t get what the appeal of the dude is - as an actor. He’s obviously an awful person but I can’t see why he was getting raves for his performances. Fussy, pretentious, indulgent, with zero charisma. But I seem to be in the minority. What am I missing?

He seems very disingenuous to me. Everything from his defense attorney’s pre-trial shenanigans, to breaking up that fight, to dating Meagan Good feels very calculated and manufactured. That’s certainly not unique to him (Tom Cruise has had a very controlled public image for decades), but Majors is too young and too…

The baddie will end up being Qimir or one of the sisters that supposedly died.

This episode was pretty lame to be honest. The short run time kills it, which is a problem across multiple D+ shows. It’s rather drab for the first 25ish minutes with some wooden acting and dialogue and then when business finally picks up, they end the episode. But it feels more like a cheap and cliched tactic than…

OMG when the credits started rolling I shouted at the TV, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

And now I must sit quietly for the next week patiently waiting for what comes next.

Wow! Look at Whitbrook doing some actual analysis in his review as opposed to his usual dog whistle and troll baiting. I did see exactly what you saw and while that character complexity (and I use that word VERY generously) is a welcome addition to this story, it was so clumsily or lazily deployed that it just relegate…

How dare you come here with a reasonable outlook and intentions. Do you not understand the internet? It’s not a place for reasonable, rational discussion. But thank you for doing so!

same this is a fresh breath of air so far and i hope, and think, it will stick the landing.
