True, good point. It wouldn't work for them to do a movie version of the TV show, but bringing those three guys together to work on a whole new concept and new songs could be amazing.

I would love for Wright to do a full-on musical with Flight of the Conchords, whose musical parodies are really great songs, in and of themselves.

I think I pretty much agree with your list, except I'd flip 2 and 7 ( I liked "Asylum of the Daleks," "The Snowmen," and "Hide" from S7).

"and all the great speeches from Peter Capaldi (who is my favorite NuWho Doctor)"
He's my favorite, too, and while I've been watching DW long enough to know that regeneration is crucial to its survival, I REALLY don't want Capaldi to go. This quote was used to describe Ten in "Family of Blood" but I think it fits…

I watched this twice, and the first time, I thought Bill's ending marred an otherwise fantastic episode. But after watching it a second time, I felt better about Heather's return and Bill's fate. Bill's spent most of her life as an "other"—an orphan, a person of color, a lesbian—though she hasn't let that diminish…

Good point! It'd be so lovely for Eight and Twelve to meet/work together sometime (maybe in a Big Finish story).

That's a good one—they're early stuff is a lot of fun, more straight-ahead rock than the more techno-infused pop they're doing these days!

I'm having a hard time putting how I feel about this episode into words. It was the best Cyberman episode out of all of NewWho, and it was beautifully directed and acted, but it didn't quite pack its intended punch because of all of the spoilery publicity leading up to it. Because I already knew the big reveals were…

I love OK Go, too! They get a bad rap as just a "video" band, but those videos are gorgeous and delightful, and the band is also great live.

"Tenderness"—General Public

Right, and the skimming just made it look like DW was simply copying Orwell, rather than creating their own 21st century version of a dystopia. It felt lazy that they didn't delve deeper and include more unique details to help us feel the horror of the Monks-ruled world. The anecdote about the guy being taken to the…

There were some interesting ideas here; the "Lie" of the title could refer to the false history created by the Monks, the Doctor's fake-complicity with the Monks, the pseudo-regeneration, Bill's made-up memories of her mom, or even Missy's apparent contrition at the end. But this episode felt weirdly flat—there was…

What I wouldn't give for Capaldi/Tucker to turn up on Veep sometime.

He's as useless as a marzipan dildo!

Poor Twelve; you lay out very clearly how he's gotten a raw deal (and I feel that for Capaldi, as well, since he's been blamed for Twelve not being as "likable" as his predecessors and for driving down the ratings—I think he's done wonders with the material he's been given and shouldn't be faulted at all). But when…

I liked this episode a lot more than last week's "Knock Knock"; the tension was thicker, the dialogue sharper, and the acting stronger all around here. I wish the anti-capitalist rhetoric had been toned down a bit, not because I disagree with it, but because it would have felt more powerful if there had been more…

Oh, you must watch "Last Christmas"; it's one of my favorite Christmas specials, with great performances by Capaldi and by guest star Nick Frost.

There were some nice moments: I liked how the Doctor brandished his spoon in that episode. And how he mocked Robin Hood's banter. And the ending conversation about how Robin and the Doctor are both "stories" that will hopefully never end.

A lot of A Clockwork Orange scarred me for life.

I've listened to the album tracks on yt and am baffled by all of the fawning reviews from major news outlets; the songs feel so copycat. Seriously, "Woman" sounds like "Benny and the Jets"; "Sign of the Times" is a cross between "Hey Jude" and "Life on Mars"; "Only Angel" mimics "Brown Sugar." The songs are…
