What they needed to do was hedge their bets in 2008 the way Marvel Studios did with Iron Man and Incredible Hulk. They should have committed to it up front, but had a second property ready to go that would stand alone but tie in to the other film if things looked more positive. Particularly given how (as a period…

Perry and Croft were of course brilliant, but I didn’t want to just rattle off a list of fantastic British sitcom writers (I’d have gone to Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais next - ‘A Night In’ qualifies them for any ‘best screenwriters’ list). I went with John Sullivan because Only Fools and Horses is such an…

Fair point :)

Yeah, I like a lot of that episode, but I did think it was a shame they didn’t match up ‘young’ Bender to the ‘young’ Bender we’d seen earlier in the series (how hard would it have been to show him upgraded from the baby model to his fully grown one?). It’s a small gripe, but the show’s usually so good about…

Exactly (I tried to edit my comment to add that they made far more than just A Matter of Life and Death, but Kinja is the worst). So many great works from those two, and yet so little recognition.

That episode is one of the better CC episodes... but I don’t think it’s up there with the classics, it just seems to be because there’s some dreadful episodes in those seasons. The Adam & Eve one was the second of the season and it was horrendously bad (it didn’t seem quite as bad at the time because we were so…

No Robert Holmes, no list. And what about Powell and Pressburger?

Okay, you’re clearly an idiot, but let’s see how you do avoiding this question: How do you explain that America is the only civilised country in the world to have this problem? If gun control laws don’t work, where are all the mass shootings in the UK, Australia and Canada?

I was trying to think how I’d missed this arc in my run through of The Complete Peanuts collection I’ve been getting as gifts over the last half dozen years, since I’m up to 1976 and am only missing one volume up to that point... but sure enough, it’s 1965-1966 I’m missing. Need to get me a copy of that!

Yeah, I know it’s not really possible, just desperately wishful thinking :/

Great article, great new feature. Nicely done.

How can we make sure Trump sees Colbert’s plea? He makes a good point - Trump can turn on the NRA without it costing him anything, and gain support from millions.

My rationale is perfectly articulate - gun control does work and is PROVEN to work in the UK, Australia and Canada, as well as a hundred other countries the world over. This is PROVEN. For fuck’s sake, how can you ignore the fact that it WORKS? You have no inalienable right to own a gun, you just WANT to. The 2nd…

...sure. As proven by all those countries that outlawed guns and have to deal with rampant crossbow massacres.

And yet your argument against gun control in 2017 is the constitution? An amendment to the constitution, no less? Maybe you were reading these papers with your eyes closed. Or maybe you just want to be allowed to own a gun so badly you sacrifice the lives of American innocents - including over a thousand children…

I’d be fine with them using the term ‘presidential’ to describe Trump as long as each time they do they include the word ‘surprisingly’ beforehand. Acknowledge it for the ineffective rarity that it is.

I’m on your side to an extent - when reeling off a list of Inhumans’ problems I wouldn’t have reached the cheap effects for quite a while - but at the same time, the effects that look cheap seem to be lazily or incompetently so. It’s a bit of an unfair advantage as AoS is up to four seasons, but they managed to be…

Yup, and those body counts still pale in comparison to US gun deaths, let alone other US mass deaths (unless you want to throw in 9/11 into the death count too?)

Your founding fathers’ intentions regarded a) war on American soil and b) muskets. You think yours is the informed opinion?

I can get to work in a car. I can’t get to work on a gun.
