bury your gays but they don’t want the fanbase revolting so they pretend there’s a chance they didn’t bury a gay.

As good as the actor is, I hate to say this, they should probably  kill his character off 

And now is just a great time to sympathize with someone running a fascist para-military organization.

I really hope they go a ‘less is more’ approach with Alice this season.

This is the only picture I can find with his teeth but they look more intense on the TV. He’s gone all scruffy and has a crazy look in his eyes but his teeth are beyond perfect.

Still shipping Luke & Mary, Sophie & Julia, and Alice & insanity

DId Shadow accomplish anything with his trip to Chicago? It seemed pretty pointless and maybe I was just really tired but I don’t know how anything important happened there.

They’re gonna have to do a hell of a song and dance to explain how the Goddess of Social Media suddenly up and disappeared. By any measure she would all-powerful. Jesus Christ this show is a mess. I hope they didn’t screw up the Appalachian “Who dun’it” arc. That ones pretty straightforward.

AG is like an educational series on how not to produce/film/write a TV show. Seriously, actors will probably have a reunion at some convention 10 years from now and talk for hours about all the shit that went wrong.

Apparently new media is gone in season 3. I found an article saying that her actor left the series or was fired or who knows. Presumably the role of Media is like the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher role, but with Gilliam Anderson being the one who cast a hex on the role.

John Bishop is a comedian who the BBC seem to have on contract and don’t know what to do with because he keeps getting shows that make absolutely no impact as far as I can tell.

John Bishop? Hugh Grant looking? I think he’ll be rather flattered by that.

Ryan’s reasons for leaving tied into a lot of the original series’ companion departures -- it gets too tiring, or scary, etc. and it’s time to move on.  But yeah, it wasn’t written well; the review’s absolutely right that Chibnall-era characters tend to tell not show.

Yeah, between that and her not trying to stop Ryan and Graham from going with Jack, she’s doing stuff that would have had Capaldi’s Doctor upbraided by the narrative five ways from Sunday.

Yeah, the back half did seem to be a pileup of contrivances to get this up to extra-length. The Doctor could have called in a different cavalry than the extra-murdery Daleks, for one thing. Wasn’t Jack working for some galactic organization?

Watching that last scene I couldn’t help but think its a setup for a Graham\Ryan spinoff.  Like a quirky Supernatural-UK. 

Prefacing this by saying that I don’t think Chibnall is a good fit for showrunner unless he is going to start focusing more on big picture and writing fewer episodes himself.

I mean it will certainly be interesting to see the show dig itself out of the particular hole Chibnall saddled it with when he completely rewrote the show’s mostly established history. But the whole tone of Doctor Who just seems off these days, Davies and Moffat had their flaws, but they mostly knew what their…

My favorite part was when Robertson decided to betray the Doctor to the Daleks as part of his evil plan to extend the running time of the episode.

I honestly didn’t mind too much that they quickly dispensed with the Doctor being imprisoned because I’d rather see the Doctor and her companions, so the quicker they got back to that the better. Though having said that, it was a shame Jack had to be the one to bust her out, and not the Doctor herself being clever. I…
