When I was a 3 year old playing Porjy Pigs Haunted Mansion on the SNES my half-sister who is 10 years my senior brought over Killer Instinct and Super Mario World. I fell in love with both.

If only the Nazis could have said the same.

Starring Richard Chamberlain as Ron Swanson, Joe Montegna as Ben Wyatt, Jane Seymour as the woman he loved, and tv's Doogie Howser; Neil Patrick Harris, as Larry Gengurch!

A- would indicate great but with small flaws while A would imply that it's pretty much a perfect episode of the program, so I'd have to disagree as those descriptions seem pretty spot on. Of course with Time of The Doctor being rated higher then Day of The Doctor I really shouldn't pay any mind towards episode grades.

Usually I try not to put too much stock in grades but what the hell is Alasdair thinking? If The Idiots Lantern is a C+ then Smith and Jones is at least an A-. Its one of the most enjoyable and entertaining episodes of the revived series and is one of the handful of episodes from the Davies Era that I actually watch…

Yeah I've learned to stop giving any thought as to what critics or 'intellectuals' have to say on a work. If people wanna write off great works because they can't get over their own prejudices then that's their problem.

As Lemur pointed out the reasons why are mainly just bullshit. Unless your name is Edgar Allen Poe, writing genre fiction guarantees you won't have a spot at the big boys table when it comes to literary discussions. (And I have no idea how Poe managed to pull that off. I love him and have a collection of all his…

So does writing a GOOD free-verse.

"This is my second favorite brown magic wand!" I dont like to insert BBT hate where it doesn't belong, but your comment pretty much summed up all my problems with that show. And also why Dads deserved to die a quick yet still painful death.

Writing a sonnet
Requires just as much talent
As this here haiku
(Which is to say none at all. Talent and know-how are two very different things)

People being pretentious is literally the only reason.

Meh I can take or leave most of series 2 and 3. Series 3 has 180 minutes of pure crap (The Dalek two parter and the last two episodes) and then another 135 that I wouldn't be exactly torn up about if I never saw again (42, The Lazarus Experiment, The Shakespeare Code)

Easily my second favorite finale from the Davies Era. In fact if I had to rank all of Modern Whos finales it'd look a little something like
1. Parting of the Ways
2. The Big Bang
3. Doomsday
4.The Name Of The Doctor
5. Everything else is pretty much equally awful in different ways. Although Last of The Time Lords always…

The Power of Three as a whole felt like a throwback to the Davies era. But yeah it was pretty much a retread of the initial plot in Army Of Ghosts.

Starring Liam Neeson as the Japanese mogul Heiachi Mishima?

No thanks, i'll just stick to the Ultra-porn.

Yeah this is something I can get behind. If the BBC were to prove me wrong and take advantage of all the new exotic locations the Doctor could visit I'd be thrilled. I wouldn't even mind if they threw in a joke about how the Doctor always wanted to visit one of these locations but never felt like he'd blend in.

Yeah but I like a decent mix so its not like I would completely want visits back to various eras in Earths history cut out. As I've mentioned my problem isn't with the idea of a black Doctor. My problem is how a team full of writers and directors (most of whom are white) would handle the execution of a black Doctor. …

I'm pretty sure what you're referring too in the Shakespeare Code was mainly just a reference to Shakespeare's Dark Lady sonnets. (to be fair though i don't know exactly what you're referring too as thats not exactly one of my favorite episodes so i haven't seen it recently) In reality Martha would have probably been…

As an American, I can vouch for this.
