The "Catholic cult". Do come back when you've graduated to the Whore of Babylon rhetoric.

I mean, that's only been Catholic doctrine for two millennia.

For me, I think she'd be able to get beyond the AOL manipulations because she did get to know him IRL. But still, the closing of the shop seems like a bridge too far, especially because it taps into her relationship with her mother.

I mean, I don't think we are supposed to believe Kathleen is naive. We do see that she has the opportunity to get to know Joe in real life, so he isn't quite deceiving her in who he is in his real life, even if he is deceiving her through the emails. She knows he's the man who took her business away and she still fell…

That movie was hard to watch even when you are a young person. I thought Ethan Hawke was an asshole even when I was supposed to think he was cool and rebellious.

Yep. It's basically the dynamic that Mr. Knightley - whose brother is married to Emma's sister, after all - has with the Woodhouses, only updated for modern day.

I hate to say this because I really like the movie, but Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) and Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) in You've Got Mail. He put her store out of the business - her beloved store that was her dead mother's - AND he spent months lying to her about her identity. Much as I love Tom Hanks (and to me, the only reason…

Eh, I don't agree with this. I think that the point of the whole movie is Harry realizing that love can encompass friendship as much as it does sexual attraction. He realizes yes, he loves Sally as a friend, but that is "real love," and he is really in love with Sally.

That was the first one I thought of, as well. I hate Bender so very much and the idea that he negged his way into a relationship with Claire has bothered me for 20 years, at least.

Ha! No, but that would be fine. Lynch announced the cast of Twin Peaks but didn't say who they were playing.

He may be Lenny Briscoe to you, but he'll always be Dr. Houseman to me.

I'm okay with it. First of all, times change and what the producers did in 1966 in order to keep the story going has not become some with its own history and mythos, etc. Because Hartnell was sick after he left the show and then died pretty soon after it, we've actually had fewer chances to explore his incarnation…

I think I may have been okay-ish with Heather's return if they had made at least one additional reference to the Pilot during the season. But still, it didn't feel like Bill got the girl, to me. It felt like the Girl, aka the Pilot who took over the girl's body in a rather creepy way, got Bill, and there are just a…

I'm with you. The notion of the Doctor as some sort of military commander was ridiculous from the start. I didn't particularly like the way they were writing the Doctor and Clara's relationship and the addition of Danny Pink further confused an already confused dynamic. Not to say that I was glad that Danny died but…

Honestly, three years is probably the average for most Doctors. Baker had an incredibly long run with 7 years and I think Pertwee was 5 but Hartnell, Troughton, and Davison were all 3 (not sure that Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy got to three, but that's when the show was really struggling).

I think that's right. Though, it would be funny if they just didn't announce it, a la David Lynch.

Whether or not Gomez was cast for that reason, the gender essentialism of it does bother me, yes. The only thing that saved it is that both Gomez and Simm are good actors but the notion that Missy has more compassion and its tied to her gender did annoy me a bit, I confess.

Basically, if a show introduces a lesbian character, there is a great likelihood she'll end up dead before the show is over.

Good call on the Tenth Planet call back. Should be interesting to see how they interact because of all the Doctors, they are probably most alike in terms of their overall crankiness.

I heard that line but that exactly did make it seem like an attempt to avoid a pretty problematic trope. But I agree that Moffat was probably trying not to write Chibnail into a corner, either.
