It's the kind of thing that needs a little bit of momentum behind it but not that much when the fanbase and the legacy is so great. Paramount, CBS, the rights holders, everyone with some sort of financial stake in the franchise should have been much better prepared for the anniversary than they have been. When you

Yeah, but admitting that would ruin my point. There was also the AAISAT TV movie, the various minisodes and other assorted items that comprised the Anniversary celebrations… but it was all still a far cry from what the fanbase had for years been hoping for from the 50th Anniversary. We actually got more Who in 2014

Actually they're missing the 50th anniversary by several months. It's pretty ridiculous, really; they've had years (or arguably decades) to prepare for the event, and they can't even get out the TV show that's been talked about for ages on time. That's like the head writer of Doctor Who having years to prepare for the

Yeah, he is good eye candy… Again, he's not necessarily a bad character, just that that's the one area of the writing (and performances) on the show I'm still not sold on. We haven't seen him to have particularly reckless tendencies of the kind you find in a partying playboy, even after the cancer changed him. By

" I was expecting more from a song that had such great visuals" is how I've felt about most of the show so far. Even if just lyrically, none of the songs have felt like they were as good as they should/could be. They need a better lyricist (or a lyricist at all - I don't see one listed for the show, so presumably it's

I liked her more in the supermarket. She looked real, much more attractive (to me, anyway) than the generic sheen applied to her for most of the show.

By the end of the episode Valencia was the most rounded, properly fleshed out character in the show so far. I'm hoping they make the others match her before too long.

'I'm So Good At Yoga' was the 'Sexy Getting Ready Song' of this week - a lame, unearned and out of place parody that consisted of 10 seconds of humour stretched over 3 minutes. And the show is really, really lazy about whether the songs are in Rebecca's head. It should be either a real musical or a Scrubs with songs

Right; that's the kind of thing that can make any show, even one with an initially heavy imbalance, seem like it occupies a very naturally diverse. I get really frustrated when that sort of thing is done but treated as a gimmick - like with the upcoming female-heavy Ghostbusters reboot (admittedly, I'm already kind of

Based on just the first episode: The actors are trying way too hard, and the songwriters are not trying nearly hard enough. Only two songs (really) in an entire hour, and the first one had some okay lines in but a lot that were really unimpressive, and the second song had almost nothing to it besides the repetition of

I love Capaldi and I really like his performance… but I'm not convinced he's yet had a 'standout' moment as the Doctor. The last few all had several, many during their early runs of episodes (9 in The End of the World and Dalek among others, 10 several times in series 2, 11 at the start and end of series 5). For as

I generally really liked Kill the Moon, though I do fully acknowledge it has problems (some gaping) that could seriously put you off it. I also thought this one was pretty terrific; I'd be very up for more Harness (and of course Mathieson) episodes in future.

"But it’s still kind of cool that this episode is, without ever making note of it, so women-centric, if only because that’s still such a rare thing on television."

I think it takes a slight stretch of credulity but not huge - PTSD isn't just about having experienced something damaging, it's also about trying to reacclimatise to an old situation having changed, and she changed massively. She lost hope, she lost her sense of reality, she even gave up on her love for another

Raf sits at the bottom of my list - this isn't really a terrible thing, as the others are all so good, but where he falls down is partly in the performance (which is not quite up to the standards of the others on the show) and partly down to the writing, where I don't feel they've covincingly demonstrated Raf as

For me she's a close second/third (depending if the Latin Lover Narrator is included), but it's no shame to lose to Rogelio.

SHE'D BETTER NOT.

Yeah, as much as I adore the show enough to give every episode an A+… if we're grading on a curve, this was a lower rated one. You're right; cluttered and kinda messy.

I watched the first 10 minutes of Supergirl. They were fine, but I just couldn't get past the scene where an underwear model was playing Jimmy Olsen and making the lead female flustered with his looks. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not right. No.

The name can put people off, as well as the entire setup of the show (given how soap-opera-y it deliberately is, and how bad a reputation soap operas usually have). But it quickly became my favourite current show during season 1, and is now vying for favourite show period (sorry, Breaking Bad; I've fallen in love
