If only we'd spent more time playing catch with him and less time training our minds and bodies to beat him in a machete fight.

There are few things that have made me laugh harder in a movie theater than the "Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday" exchange in Scott Pilgrim, and Routh's little head shake after "She dusts." makes the whole bit.
Aww, that's really disheartening. I was one of the few people going so far as to pull for him to succeed Moffat. His voice fit the show really well.
This is why I'm really disappointed that it looks like his episode for series 8 never materialized. "Rings of Akhatan" is underrated and "Hide" is quite possibly my favorite Doctor Who episode since "The Girl Who Waited".
Honestly though, comparing Steven Moffat to Douglas Adams is probably the highest compliment I could give him.
Yes, that's what it's supposed to be.
You know, it's funny. I can't help but shake this feeling of deja vu that I'm getting right now.
The fact that Douglas Adams introduced Lalla Ward to Richard Dawkins is one of my favorite facts of all time. It reminds me of one of those movie biopics where a famous person runs into a bunch of other famous people just because, except it actually happened.
Yeah, it plays less like a narrative and more like a series of sci-fi and philosophy-themed sketches with the same characters.
Oh yeah, Smith definitely cribbed a lot from Two (including the bowtie, of course). But his era on the whole was more like Seven's, with its heavy conceptual stuff. Hell, Ace's origin as a pawn in the Doctor's game with Fenric feels a lot like Amy and Clara's stories as well.
I like parts of this serial but can't love it, even considering how big a Douglas Adams fan I am. I think comparing this solo effort to the collaborative "City of Death" shows that Adams was full of great ideas and dialogue, but was never great at plot. This one never takes off the way it should while "City" is still…
See, I've always thought (and I know that I've talked about this here before) that David Tennant's run really resembled the Graham Williams era of the show, high on camp and goofy humor and resting a lot of the burden on the charisma of its star. Whereas Matt Smith's era feels more like Sylvester McCoy's run, set on…
It's cute that Zack Snyder thinks he knows what "subtle" means.
I don't comment that much (at least not on non-Doctor Who related stuff) but I just felt like saying: You became the standard by which I judge TV criticism before I even realized that I had such a thing. Thanks for everything and good luck on all your future endeavors.
Because when British ladies get old, they wear cakes on their head. That's what Eddie Izzard taught me.
This is up there with Master of Disguise and Click as The Worst Movies I've Ever Watched.
…forming pyramids and frightening the children…
"…and bleedin' WATNEY'S RED BARREL…"
A lot of Steven Moffat's run on the show has seemed like a continuation of what Andrew Cartmel started. "Silver Nemesis" (which I think is pretty underrated) in particular really strikes me as Moffatesque. It's all about the Doctor and his secrets. It even has a "Doctor Who?" in it!
I think Tom Baker is a better Doctor than McCoy, but honestly McCoy's take on the character might be my favorite of all the classic series. And I definitely agree about the Seven and Ace. They almost seem like the platonic ideal of Doctor and companion to me.
