I'd previously (as in, a few years ago) been opposed to a female Doctor because I thought I'd have trouble associating them with the same character. One thing that changed that was Michelle Gomez's brilliant performance as Missy. But the other thing is, Peter Capaldi's performance in the role was so great and…

Is John Boyega available?

I, especially, sympathize with Darabont, when he complains about people adding and removing commas; because, I hate almost nothing more, than when I spend a significant amount of time deciding, whether or not the sentence needs a comma to be clear; and then some dumb fucker looks at it, and changes it; without…

Likewise. To me, 'funniest person on Twitter' seems like damning with faint praise, like 'tallest person at a dwarf convention'.

I think it's actually a race of aliens invented by HP Lovecraft.

He does play fathers sometimes (e.g. Bridge of Spies), but beyond that I'd say many of his roles can be described as 'father figures': in 'Catch Me if you Can' he was surrogate dad to Leonardo DiCaprio, in 'Saving Private Ryan' he was surrogate dad to the whole squad (and, by extension, to America).

Yeah. I enjoyed it well enough that it feels greedy to demand more… but Scott Pilgrim really should have been a miniseries. Most of the character development and emotion of the comics was lost in the adaptation.

I prefer complex human interactions, if you know what I mean.

WTF is crackle lol?

The truth: we're all robots. The Turing test was failed by humanity a long time ago.

Just looked it up. Of course it's based in San Francisco. I suspect they have very few users elsewhere.

I saw them referred to in a Wikipedia article as 'dating lines', which is a rather sweet euphemism. 'Party chat' is even sadder.

It's not the first time he's been mentioned - Bill said in the episode with the pyramid something like 'The President? But I didn't vote for him! He's orange!"

The BBC iplayer also crashed on me while watching the episode at that exact moment. Dear BBC, please get someone competent to sort out your IT, thanks.

As the Simpsons once put it:
"Ralph! I thought you were dead?" "Nope!"

It's noteworthy that Clara's exit was much more final, in that the Doctor actually forgot about her. This time, the Doctor hasn't forgotten about Bill (or Nardole!) - they could easily rejoin the Tardis any time the writers wanted.

Moffat's an old romantic, and never tried to hide it: he wants all his characters to get happy endings. It fits with the generally optimistic tone of the show, but I can't blame people for feeling a little tired of it by now. Perhaps Clara should have been allowed to stay dead…

Yeah, hasn't the Master come back from Ultimate Final Death at least two or three times already?

I thought it was pretty badly written, but as ever, lifted by the acting skills of Capaldi and the rest of the cast.

Likewise. These reviews are the main reason I've been coming to the AV Club. I hope whoever succeeds Alasdair in this job puts as much thought into it as he did.
