This seems appropriate.

Other choices would be Babylon 5 and Twin Peaks. and certainly the X-files would not have been possible without Twin Peaks.

Oh great, I look forward to the military selling their surplus exosuits to local police forces in a few years. Superpowered cops, that's just what we need.

First off I think it's good to remind ourselves that famous here is probably best accompanied with a set of quotation marks. Secondly I think you can probably find other teenagers with popular instagram accounts who aren't "famous" for how they look, but rather by things they do.

because of symmetry? But then it should happen to the protagonist in the second movie. Or they should just give up on it, as the mechanical hand-thing started as just something to create a parallel between Luke and his dad.

I don't even know where to start with this one.

Of course the Mistress didn't die. She wasn't even there for that last sequence. That was just a hard light hologram. She was able to disintegrate Seb, so she just projected herself in there. It doesn't even matter, as long as we get more of Michelle Gomez down the line.

It's a perennial issue that liberals and the democrats are just terrible at persuasive messaging. Republicans come up with things that stick in your mind like 'death tax' and democrats are just left mumbling vague nuances.

What is wrong with people who think that the US has the only functioning form of democracy? Who think that criticising the monetised mutation of democracy in this country equates with endorsing totalitarianism.

oh, I thought this would be the one thing people always seem to forget about time travel, and that's the earth's rotation around the sun. Unless you go back or forward in exact annual increments, you'll wind up lost in space.

I don't really see the problem here. It's not as if this is a realistic attempt at fantasy, the way that the Hobbit movies try and create a convincing secondary world. This is a musical about fairy tale-tropes, there's no reason to create a cohesive all-encompassing style. It would work better if the other characters…

I was pretty obsessed with it at the time, so there's still a slew of useless information about the production in the back of my mind. But it's no surprise the film turned out so lifeless. Despite a bunch of questionable choices early on in the production (like the weird way they decided to visualise Pullman's anbaric…

I suppose that depends on what kind of milk you get. Organic, pastured, etc versus hormone treated cheap swill.

You mean apart from the crazy amount of water required to grow almond trees? In light of the current drought in California, your carton of almond milk comes with quite a hefty environmental cost.

Yes, but how are you going to turn that squiggly and crunchy mass of bugs into something people will actually want to eat?

Pretty much everyone had bad taste in the show's universe.

Oh, I know. But then, science fiction isn't about trying to actually predict the future anyway.

Let's just think of Babylon 5's paper newspapers as a consciously oldfashioned choice, the way we can still get albums on vinyl.

Ultimately the biggest change Moffat has made is to make the Doctor the focus of the show, as opposed to the companion.

On the contrary I think SF and comicbook adaptations can be a vital part of our cinema. I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was quite good, Spiderman 2 is, I think, still the best superhero movie, but my favourite comic book movie might still be Ghost World, or American Splendor.
