Yay. Let’s pay too much to watch content on the channels we used to get for free! Yay, internet.

That badger should think twice before getting involved in a coyote’s schemes.

Now playing

This is an old enough “meme” that many readers here may have no clue what you’re alluding to:

When told he was caught on camera, the badger replied he didn’t care.

I’m not willing to throw in the towel as quickly as I did in 2016. Hopefully no matter who gets the nom, the left will be so fired up about the garbage fire that has been the past few years of Trump that they will drag themselves out of their deathbeds if they need to in order to vote.

“My manager Gavin called me and said, ‘I have a phone call that you need to take, someone needs to talk to you. It’s Chris Chibnall.’ And I went, ‘What?’” he said. “So I got on the phone with Chris and I called him back, and I said, ‘Hey Chris, it’s John, what’s up?’ And he said, ‘How would you feel about bringing

This is just his kind of humour. He’s always been like that even back in the 90s when the books were coming out. It works better in person so he was always fun art conventions.

The Master is every bit as smart as the Doctor. Outwitting a group of Nazis is a piece of cake for him (or her). I got the feeling the Doctor did this more as a way to slow him down and piss him off, not to get him killed. 

I have to admit that I don’t understand the shock(outrage?) over the notion that The Master would work with the Nazis. How many thousands if not millions of people has he killed over the course of Doctor Who? Heck, even in this episode he killed several people by shrinking them just to get the Doctor’s attention.

Just to add - sabotaging an enemy’s plan so that they suffer the very fate they wanted to inflict on others, by their own hand, is something that every single incarnation of the Doctor has done.  It’s one of the Doctor’s go-to moves, really.

It’s an extremely disconcerting moment, considering the Doctor’s escape plan already assured the Master would fall foul of his “allies,” an incredibly cruel and out-of-character moment for a show and hero that has always championed diversity in the face of hatred and bigotry

She disables the filter because he could just change it to be somone else real quick and that wouldn’t give her the time to get to his TARDIS.

I do wonder whether the show is making some comment on nature vs. nurture with the Master. Just as happens with the Doctor, we know the Master has different personalities with their different regenerations. This could be the show’s way of defining the Master as inherently bad. Missy would have been the anomaly. Sure,

Much as Capaldis final episode was that of an old man coming to terms with his end, Jodie is suffuses with youthful vigor and optimism...and possibly running ahead at a sprint, unwilling to let the past catch up just yet 

As a software developer, I was ecstatic about Ada Lovelace! I didn’t pick up that it was her until she used that steampunk gun and made a comment about being perfectly capable of using machines. I had a slow-burn moment of realization where I was like, “Wait...wha... did they say her last name? IT CAN’T BE.” And then

Speaking of the Master, in addition to everything else noted above...

How does he live through the 20th Century, and how does he manage to not run into his Roger Delgado-played self?

I know, I know, with all the wibley-whatever that the Time Lords have essentially destroyed causality (which is why there’s no real hard

I get that it’s fun to shit on Boeing, but let’s not kid ourselves that people have been safely flying on the vast majority of their airplanes for 90 years.

Nope.. it’s in a stable orbit, just not able to reach ISS.  It will come back to earth in a controlled fashion and recovered.  

Dear Eleanor, this was a wide-ranging and strong article, but I think in asking ‘How Queer is Star Trek’, you missed out on the excellent, expansive and normalised representation of queer characters in Trek lit. Not the slash of Kirk/Spock but the real representation of queer characters since the late 90s. I think my

I forget which episode it was, but at one point on TNG Guinan was describing romance, and Whoopi Goldberg successfully got her line changed from “when a man and woman fall in love” to “when two people fall in love.” I’m sure she treasured slipping that one by Berman.
