You should definitely try it again! It intentionally (almost aggressively) defies the expectations of the series and removes a lot of the glamour to expose the true darkness of it's world, but it's a pretty brilliant, though messy, piece of cinema. It's much more similar in tone to Lynch's films than the Twin Peaks…

I might be the only one who kind of misses the S1 version of the show, I think they swung too far in the other direction. S4 balanced the tension with the quiet, calm tone really well, but I don't think they ever quite nailed the balance in the other post S1 seasons.

The early Season 1 episodes were also really badly written and had incredibly amateurish production values. Cyberwoman and Countrycide are some of the cheapest and ugliest looking tv episodes I've ever seen. I'm hoping Chibnall has improved in this respect or the new Doctor Who is going to look horrendous.

What? No it didn't. Vastra and Jenny weren't seen until A Good Man Goes to War, about a season later. All Hungry Earth/Cold Blood did was introduce the Silurians on the new series. That was a pretty good two parter though, and Chibnall's only worthwhile contribution to the series so far.

The show is actually pretty straightforward plot wise, I don't understand why a lot of people act like it makes no sense or has no plot. It's a pretty damn plot heavy show that simply uses visuals to establish a lot of it's plot points and character development. It is a bit in love with it's own style though, so I…

Wait, what? The central plot of the season wasn't even clear until episode 4.

Yeah I don't get that at all. The new stuff doesn't even sound all that different to me production wise from Demon Days.

I don't get the issue with the weight thing… because no one has gained 30 pounds over the course of 30 years before? The bigger stretch is that they look absolutely nothing alike at all.

I think there's still a Gchat program or something? I'm pretty sure the the one you use in gmail did get converted into Hangouts a while ago.

Many of the examples you're using in both categories are also book titles, so that might be where your issue lies.

I'd actually say that Julian has been the best part of Season 3 as far as I've seen. Mainly because Tom Felton could clearly act circles around most of this cast, and actually seems to be trying. Wally and Iris are the ones that really need to go… I hate to say this since they add racial diversity to the cast, but…

Arrow has definitely improved a lot this season from where it was in seasons 3 and 4. But I honestly don't think the show was ever anywhere near as good as iZombie, Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, or even the weaker seasons of The 100. The quality of the channel as a whole has increased a lot since Arrow first…

Yeah I think the biggest problem with Flash was that it seems all the creative focus drifted away towards Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow after the first season. Supergirl in particular seems like their crown jewel, and the only show that Berlanti and Kreisberg are really focused on. Whereas Flash seems to have been…

It's really like instead of learning their lesson from how awful Zoom was, they instead decided to do the exact same thing again and doubled down on the character's worst elements. I'm sure there'll be some incredibly stupid reveal about his identity coming soon.

I mean these shows already consist of about a third of the CW's roster. It's pretty hard for them to order too many more of them without having them almost solely define the network's identity, and the network execs might be wary of just becoming "the superhero channel". Especially since Arrow, Flash, and Legends of…

Yeah once he got rolling on a trilogy he finished it in pretty short order to. Say what you will about the prequels, they did get made and released like clockwork. Though maybe the overall quality points out that sometimes it's better to take your time.

Yeah I feel like Titanic is actually better remembered and more respected than most people would have guessed when it first became a phenomenon.

Not sure what you mean by "no continuity", but Narnia definitely has a continuity that spans hundreds of years, and is fairly convoluted by the end (including one retconny prequel and an interquel). Though admittedly the world building is pretty disjointed and clearly wasn't planned in advance at all.

It's strange that they jumped ahead forty episodes, as you'd think fifty would make sense (given the fifty year time jump). Maybe Tartakovsky wanted to make sure he was able to provide the series a proper end, but also wanted to leave room to make a few more seasons of the show set in the interim, if Adult Swim was on…

I'm pretty sure it's been possible since the site switched to Disqus.
