Instead, viewers will have to settle for the Sovereign-class starship appearing in it.
Let’s be honest, a lot of things about Capaldi in that special are an all-timer!
Occasionally, I would find myself watching the monitor and notice The Zec’s reflection over my shoulder, watching the action and my every choice intently.
“Amends” is low-key one of my favorite episodes of the series.
The whole special is like that though, and not only gives Capaldi’s Doctor the push he needed after the events of the last three episodes (not spoiling for folks who may yet watch), but also closes the loop on River’s first appearance and ends on perhaps the most perfect note of any DW episode...
So, “Noel” is on the list of things we watch every Christmas — so definitely agree there. However! Not one Christmas Special from Doctor Who on your list?
The HFR 100% did not work for me... out of the water.
I mean you can lookup any plane’s tail identifier in FlightAware because you have to file flightplans, so you can just say “Elon’s plane will land at X airport at HH:MM today!”
You couldn’t do that with Lex Luthor’s lieutenant. Do you even know Lex’s second in command’s name?
RIP.
One of the things I appreciate about this show, similar to the movie, is it lets you have time to breathe with the characters to get to know them (archetypes and ciphers as they may be)... there isn’t a really banger action sequence in the movie until the inn/bar escape which is like 30 minutes into the movie (the dog…
Yeah, I think you’re half right. io9 isn’t really correct to apply the apples/oranges of “Remember this: try.” against “Do, or do not. There is no try.” because one is applications in real-world pushback against tyranny and oppression — and the other is specifically about channeling the Force, which is a matter of…
The books start, iirc, by killing everyone off and making the world a dystopian hellscape that Willow and an angsty-teenaged Elora Dannan are trying to fix...
Since Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain are some of my favorite (and imo best) YA fantasy novels out there, and clearly inspired much of Star Wars amongst others — I hated that The Black Cauldron flopped, but also that they did a piss-poor adaptation of it...
I join you on The Ringer love. That cast was stacked and had Luke Cage before I knew who he was! It was a double-feature for me with Revenge (which managed to last longer).
Yeah, I loved me lots and lots of The 100. I told people to watch it repeatedly, called it stealthily one of the most pro-feminist shows on TV...
