Yeah, I more just meant the people who come across it playing 100 Mario Challenge, since this level’s in the rotation now.

Well, the “figuring out what to do” part of my comment wasn’t really about those types of people, it was more about the people that come across it online since it’s been uploaded and will now be in the general rotation. It’s safe to say that most people that encounter this level won’t know it exists before they play…

This kind of stuff really shows why classic gaming reigns supreme. As much as people love chasing achievements and modern day leader boards, there is nothing like conquering something in yourself through a game.

I always just assumed that Lucy Saxon was a more uptight version of Harley Quinn. You get hints from her backstory when she's having the 'interview' with the journalist that she had a pretty typical upbringing as a member of the lower rungs of the British aristocracy, with a daddy who had a knighthood and a pointless…

Oh, I absolutely agree with that. It's very, very subtle and backgrounded but it's there. (See: River's arc. It exists but I understand why people want a more foregrounded development for her.)

This episode is not the best of Doctor Who by far; in fact, I consider it one of the worst. The era you have watched, RTD's era, is more defined by emotional beats than senseful plot, it's in every episode. If it serves the character then he'll do it. Still, even characterization is a bit nonsense in this era. Not the…

Exactly! It's that infinite possibilities thing that keeps me coming back for more. When those TARDIS door open you don't know if this week's show is going to be set in Space Florida or in a pocket universe controlled by a Time Lord killing super intelligent being.

Having rewatched series 5 a couple of times, there's actually a lot of interesting character stuff going on in the background which I think does make some of the later stuff (not all of it, but some of it) make more sense. It's just really, really in the background. I sometimes think that he's unwilling to really…

The seasons suffered diminishing returns. I'd say overall I liked the Eccleston season better than the Tennant ones - Eccleston particularly got pointd for nt being the dandy-type I associated with the role - but also the Rose seasons more than Martha's (which isn't merely a Rose/Martha thing; Rose had a supporting…

Thanks for sticking with Doctor Who and these reviews, even as they have proved to not be your thing. Out of curiosity, were there any parts of these three seasons that you genuinely liked? Did the Eccleston season work better for you than the Tennant ones, or are you just generally kinda unimpressed?

I know everyone will have said "but you have to absolutely watch [..] before you give up!" so I won't go there. What I can say is this, concisely:
What this series offers is some fun peculiar way of experiencing a TV show and life, in general. It doesn't take itself too seriously, because internal logic or…

If Gold's soundtrack were overpowering or intruding a subtle show maybe I'd actually see where you are coming from. It's always well played an in tune with what the show wants/needs to do. And it sticks with you

One thing about Discworld: bar the first few (basically the first three Rincewind books) and the latest few, you can pick up ANY of them and continuity isn't really a problem. The first one I ever read was Equal Rites, which I liked well enough to hang on to, but for some reason I didn't read any more Discworld for…

I feel like I'm talking to someone who thinks the music guys of Legend of Korra should be replaced. Gold is doing exactly what this kind of show needs

I actually really really really like Murray Gold. The 11th Doctor theme is catchy as fuck

It's not all bombastic shrillness. Case in point Clara's theme, which I find beautiful and gentle.

Ha! Brevity was never my strong suit.

do you mean Agent Justy McStandsthere?

I was just so annoyed that none of the men wore any special Beats By Dre noise cancelling ear plug filters to, at the very least, explain why Coulson and Oomf O'Granite were anywhere near Lorelei. And it would have been a great time to introduce an all female SHIELD team but that would be just silly.

Gah! This show is infuriating.
