Oh, I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying, that her attitude seems frankly obvious in retrospect since she's a surrogate mother. And she really seems to take a perverse joy in it, which is what ups the creep factor for me.

Ever since the two of them got hitched, it's been pretty obvious Bernadette sees herself as his mother, which is really kind of creepy. And obnoxious. I mean, when he told her he was going to go to space, all she did almost the entire episode was shut him down, tell him he wasn't going—as if he were a dog, FFS—and…

Me too. I stream a lot, but ownership is pretty exclusive to actual discs. Same with my video games; I hate the idea of digital ownership when I can just buy the actual disc.

Everything, plus the audio plays. Why not go whole hog?

To wit: maybe all of this would have worked on a planet and orbital satellite that wasn't Earth and the moon. Then, maybe, the argument about science not making sense might work.

Ha! Yeah, that definitely would have worked.

There is that.

Yeah, but considering what a big deal they made out of pointing out the problems—which were mostly consistent with actual science—and then completely throwing it out the window for the second half was just obvious and stupid. Yeah, science can be pretty soft in this show, but when it's basic shit, it throws me out of…

Yeah, hat was irritating. Having things written in Mexican Spanish and the flag hanging above is more than obvious enough to say "Hey, they're obviously Mexican!"

So I wasn't the only one who was thrown by their gorgeous beachfront location too? It's like they were deliberately pissing me off with that.

I was mostly confused as to how they managed to land the TARDIS on a beach, riiight on the fucking ocean shoreline, after a whole discussion earlier about the crazy tides swallowing entire cities. I mean, for fuck's sake, they basically wasted time talking about it as a significant problem, and then it's….apparently…

I never followed her into her 6th Doctor adventures, so maybe there's that. But I'm also worn out by the romantic twaddle in general, so her interplay with 8 on that just annoyed me.

Every time I've listened to "Embrace the Darkness," I keep mentally spelling "Cimmerians" as "Sumerians," and snickering to myself. I can't say I've really thought much of Charley as a companion, though; I think I must just enjoy snarky non-romantic companions like Donna and Lucie Miller. (Both of whom have very…

That was my head canon (the first, not the second), otherwise yeah, it made no sense. I don't think she would have been in college considering the two of them seemed to be constantly running scams just to make money before the zompocalypse.

Only $1 extra? Hell, 3D is three-seven dollars extra here, depending on if you go to a normal theatre or a Giant Super Duper Experience With Lounge Chairs.

"The special edition, that's the one I wanted out there. The other movie,
it's on VHS, if anybody wants it. … I'm not going to spend the—we're
talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish
that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore. It's like this is
the movie I wanted it to be, and…

Yes. Yes they are. It's why I've stopped taking UWM's U-Ride and started just parking at a nearby park and using the bike trail: there are so many students trying to save on parking and get to school for free that the drivers will literally cram as many bodies in as possible. So you have no seat belts, plus kids…

"Unremastered" is the sticking point. The fact Lucas whined and tried to claim that he couldn't remaster them, even if he wanted to, was fucking hilarious then, and even years prior when people on the internet managed to do exactly that with less money and more apparent love for the movies.

I heartily second this. It needs to be a thing.

I know I'm not as caught up as I like, but did they really decide she's now a lesbian?
