Honestly I never noticed. I was too distracted by his beautiful face.

That should help.

Not that I don't agree (because I do think this was better) but the AV Club only ranks episodes in relation to the rest of their show not other shows.
So an episode of Glee rated 'A-' could be worse than an episode of The Wire rated 'C+'.
So the latest episode of Doctor Who getting a higher rating doesn't mean anything…

That's good to hear.

I don't understand why a family would do that. Do they not know what they're signing up for, do they get financial compensation or do they just really want the attention?
I guess it's their choice and I'll assume they're not being exploited but I still feel bad for the friends and members of the family who didn't sign…

I might do, I don't listen to a lot of podcasts and I don't think I'm curious enough to listen to 12 episodes.
When I do listen to podcasts it tends to be on the way to/from work so I want something light and funny.
I'm more interested in what all the fuss is about than finding something new to invest my time into.

I agree they're not responsible for the behavior of a few fringe fans.

And now I just googled Discovery ID and found another thing to hate, thanks for that :P
It almost seems like a Charlie Brooker satire of sensualist "factual" entertainment.
The clips I saw were so heavily dramatized (with music, flashy editing and recreations) they might as well make the story up too.
I can imagine an…

That makes it sound really interesting to me. The more I read about it the less sensualist it sounds but it's still off-putting that they use a case that's relatively recent where the family of the victim are still trying to get on with their lives.
I guess there wouldn't be much point digging up a case 50 years old as…

I think that's extreme.
50 years past someone's death seems like a fair time for their life-story to enter public domain, until that point you should need to get their permission or change the names.
Obviously an exception can be made when a serial killer is on the loose and the public need to be warned or the police…

"Serial's focus was on whether or not a man sitting in prison was actually guilty because the trial was botched to hell."
See, that makes more sense and sounds less sensational. I've been trying to figure out what this podcast is about recently and everything I've read makes it out to be just drudging up an old true…

Yea, there's a difference between making a fictional film about a historical figure and making a podcast investigating a crime after the victims have tried to move on and find closure.
Surely they would have got consent from those involved though?
I don't know much about this podcast, except it's popularity at the…

I've never listened to the podcast so I'm not entirely sure what it is.
Is it literally just a podcast talking about a murder the producers of the podcast have no connection to? Or is there more to it than that?
Because everything I've heard about it sounds awfully macabre, non-police officers conducting their own…

Yea good points. I agree the law wouldn't immediately catch (if it ever did) and it's that realism which makes Black Mirror chilling.
We'll never know if the issue ever came up before because the anthology format only gives us brief glimpses into these worlds.
I'm glad you brought up chatbots because I remember being so…

I wouldn't call those people fools, they're just looking for something different to us. A lot of people buy a headphones for fashion purposes as much as audio quality and that's their choice.
Someone who spends $200 on a pair of high-heals instead of durable walking boots isn't necessarily stupid or more susceptible to…

If you've not got $100 to spend on your ear-holes I use Audio-technica ATH-M20 which are half that price.
They're not noise canceling and don't have any fancy branding or design but the sound quality is great for the price.

It is when I do it, sometimes I make the tagline bold and quotation marks are optional.

"is the meme supposed to be italicized?"

My headphones are reasonable priced audio-technica ones which happen to be the exact same model Scott Aukerman wear while recording Comedy Bang Bang, I was so excited when I noticed that while watching a video version of the podcast. I felt like I was listening to it the way he intended.
Anyway that's my pointless…

That's Katja Obinger, she has like three lines in the back of a car before her brains go splat.
Sarah pretending to be Katja is pretty cool though "rock and roll".
Also Cosima for best clone.
