If only he had gotten to piss on the grave. 

I disagree, I think it can be sad regardless of a person’s age. It is definitely not a great tragedy, but it’s still sad. There are a lot of long-lived people in my family. My great grandma died in her mid 90s when I was in my early 20's. I remember offering my condolences to my grandma (her daughter, in her 70s at…

Anyone else picturing Lear two weeks ago sitting in his armchair, muttering “I am going to outlast that evil prick Kissinger if it’s the last thing I do”?

Congratulations, Norman.

RIP to a true legend. Television today wouldn’t be what it is without Norman Lear.

The AV Club multiple times a day now: “If you wanna stop me (from saying Black Man Lips), you’re gonna have to K I L L  M E E E E E E E E ! ! ! ! !”

I just realized future multidoctor stories can feature two DTs now, since he’s 10 and 14. You know they’re gonna do some nonsense like that

Flux was pretty entertaining in spite of the fact that I had no idea what was going on by the end of it.

Honestly, I have seen very little actual gender or race-related blowback leak into the public sphere. I am sure there are dedicated groups out there who have dedicated places to complain about stuff but it feels like you’d have to actively seek that out to find it.

During the big emotional speech at the climax of Star Beast, Tennant just acting his damn heart out, I couldn’t help but think: Did Jodie have a *single* monologue that hit any of these emotional beats?

oh my god I was thining about that the other day. Ryan’s dyspraxia was a thing for like, two episodes and then he was just “fine.” There was no point in having it part of his character because it didn’t matter.

Sure, okay. But why did the Doctor regenerate as a white male 12 times in a row? Seems like a wild coincidence.

Doctor Who gender or race-related blowback is really the pinnacle of idiocy. The character is an alien with two hearts who travels through time and space in a 60s-era British police phone box that’s bigger on the inside, and who literally regenerates periodically into somebody who looks entirely different. And this…

I seem to be more positive than most on that era, but yes, of its many, many problems, exactly zero of them came down to Whittaker.

My biggest issue was a personal one - the way they dealt with Ryan’s dyspraxia.

She was utterly fantastic in a poorly written era, I hope they can bring her back in the future multi Doctor stories so we can see the true potential of that regeneration.

I had many, many, many issues with the Chibnall era, but Jodie Whittaker wasn’t one of them. Do I wish that the first female Doctor had had something resembling a consistent personality? Sure, but that wasn’t Whittaker’s fault.

Bill Skarsgård is an objectively handsome guy, and in a blander way than, say, his brother Alexander. It’s funny that not only has he made a name playing horror villains, but that the directors and co-stars of those films can’t shut up about how much he actually looks like a murder clown or an undead Transylvanian…

Of course he does, He’s Swedish. Whole damn country is just pale hot people who could be undead. 

The slapping was weird.

Good on Nintendo. The higher you go in the online points system, the more baggers you meet, and the death of this exploit will make the game a lot more fun.
