I don't think he was innocent, just that she didn't consider that there might be two independent heists going on simultaneously. She got a criminal, just not the one she was looking for.

The reasoning for that last one was sensible: She'd never called him by his first name before, and it was only actually established in that very episode.

There is a certain point where you just want to beg the website to let you give them money directly.

Yeah, that's been happening for a while. It seems Disqus figured out my way of keeping track of new posts by just leaving the page open and letting it auto-update and decided to break that. And so our little game continues, move and counter-move…

I believe the idea is something along the lines of "A+" being reserved for the absolute, platonic ideal of a given show (continuing the AVClub's style that shows are graded against their best possible selves, and not against All Of Drama As A Whole), so they're only permitted for retro-reviews, where they can be…

Before this aired, from the hype, I expected it to be for Moffat what "Midnight" was for RTD, which is a comparison I think is valid. Out of curiosity, do you have the same "things that matter should happen" complaint about that one? Because on a pure-plot basis, there was a lot of shouting, and three people who…

What, everybody with a color for a last name has to be related? You some kind of racist or something? Color-name-ist? Can that be a thing?

I'm pretty sure Clara still hasn't twigged to the fact that Danny probably actually killed a person who didn't have it coming at some point. It was almost certainly intended on her part as a reference to the fact that he's big, strong, and trained in the deadly arts.

It reminded me of what I was being picked on as a kid, and once or twice, one of the other guys had a burn that was so good I had to laugh, even though it was at my expense and I might've already been crying a little.

The toy soldier could turn up again. He apparently carries his damn crib around with him, so it's probably somewhere in the TARDIS. I'd lay pretty good odds that it'll come back at some point this year, a la Clara's leaf.

There are people who'd say that was true of Rose.

It would've been pretty fucking weird dramatically to mention, say, Matthew Gideon, even if he did end up being all of their best friends' and ex-husband-in-laws had Crusade gone on.

I saw Babylon 5 wildly out-of-order and mostly through hearsay, internet summaries, and the books the first time. The end result is the only real surprise I ever had was the deleted SIL scene in Ivanova's office where you see Marcus's pike as the centerpiece of her memento wall (the the scene was only ever described…

The CGI in TLT was very pretty. The interior sets… I liked what they were going for in their updates, even if they fell short a bit in the execution. You know what? Let's all look at some rare 1080-p TLT screen caps (because, naturally, the one piece of Babylon 5 made in HD was never released in that format) and…

That's something I've wondered about from time to time. Do the heroes, and the charmed, and the beautiful people think of themselves as hard-done-by screwups who need a second chance, a rebirth? Is there anyone who'd hear that speech and not feel included by the line, "There can always be new beginnings… even for…

Behind the scenes info says that the idea was that the jump gate system is set up as a network. Each jumpgate has beacons connecting to a few systems around it, so you have to daisy-chain from one system to the next to the next to get to your destination. Having too many beacons in one place causes interference, so…

Caprica was better about having a wider-range of sexualities, but I'm not sure if there were any real positive characters there, either. The family Willow was a polyamorous plural marriage, but it was also a terrorist cell, and Clarice apparently had some history with seducing people to get her way. Sam Adama was a…

MULTI-SPOILER

They mention a few times that Helo had had a crush on Boomer, but never acted on it because she was involved with the Chief and he's the Nicest Man In Space.

Starbuck is a bit of a lesbian icon, and general feminist role model. I remember Katee Sackhoff mentioning in an interview she decided to quit smoking because of the fan mail she was getting from girls and young women about how inspiring Starbuck was.
