Good article. I kept thinking of ME3 and the over-the-top reaction to the ending while reading it. The article also caused me to think about how I can be guilty of doing these things from time-to-time. I certainly can be guilty of #3, though I try not to be.

Another couple of movies that could be included in this category for those interested are Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, and Friday the 13th VI: Jason Lives. The latter was one of the earliest to do this, so it isn't as completely meta as many on this list, but it is still one of, if not the best, of the…

I heard them in Anthony Hopkins voice.

Huh... I thought the Exorcist one would be different. There's a much more obvious - and disturbing - theme to put on those thongs.

Fair enough. Unless someone comes up with something really interesting to do. I would like to know how the Doctor regenerated though, just because I'm pedantic like that. I almost get the feeling the Time Lords forced his regeneration from the 8th to the 9th (a la "The War Games"), because McGann's a lover, not a…

Re #4) To be fair, the Time Lords were never exactly "good." Sure, they try to save the universe from time to time ("The Three Doctors" leaps to mind) and they have rules about interference and whatnot, but they're also a lot of squabbling bureaucrats. Compare the Time Lords from "The Deadly Assassin" to those at the…

Oh, that poor, poor child, forced to dress as Adric. That's one way to guarantee a good bullying. But what I wouldn't give for a TARDIS comforter.

This is the way the world ends: not with a whisper, but some bangs.

And we have a winner!

It's good to know that, when I die, instead of having all the secrets of the universe opened up to me or basking in the presence of some deity or being with my lost loved ones, I'll spend the rest of eternity pettily throwing things off shelves. Yep. That seems quite profound. Wait, no, the other thing... banal.

When I first saw the announcement on my mobile device, I misread the actress' name (due to formatting) and thought Louise Jameson had been named the new companion. Which would've been awesome. The first episode would've been a very violent re-telling of 'School Reunion.'

If you want more of Tom and Louise, I highly recommend the 4th Doctor Big Finish audio adventures. The Foe from the Future is especially delightful; it felt like Sunday afternoon all over again (that's when it aired on my local PBS station). The Doctor and Leela are in top form and the script is quite witty. All of…

And I woulda got away with it too, if it weren't for those wacky theists!

Great. Another story about how the skeptic is wrong and how paranormal crap "really exists." I'm sick and tired of that sort of garbage. Why not make something like Scooby Doo, where it turns out the paranormal thing has a rational and interesting explanation? And something tells me one of the characters is an…

You really should return the favor. It's the polite thing to do.

I just felt a shudder, as if millions of pic-a-nic baskets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

...

Must be enjoyable to do a space walk after a nice spicy meal.

And now I have a new fetish. Thanks.

Weird. I was just thinking about this very thing last night, contemplating what I'd do if I was to write a 10th Doctor/DS9 crossover. I might actually check this out, especially for the inevitable scene of Riker making a pass at Amy followed by Rory taking a swing at him then promptly dying. And the Doctor constantly…
