I've heard that press junkets are like… The least favorite kind of publicity that anybody does in show business. It's fast and repetitive and the interviewees are "acting!" all wam and friendly with these people they've barely been introduced to. But hey, you're shooting these things? You know, right? Tell us more!

The only reason Downey or anyone else shows up to press junkets like this is because it's in his contract to promote the movie, not to answer hardball analysis or personal reflection questions. If the interviewer doesn't want to play by the rules, don't expect the stars to feel the need to go along with it. They're…

I worry is it characterization for Jean or Bendis doing a "clever" coming out scenario.

I've only watched the first episode, but honestly, I felt that it was the >perfect< start. A couple of things I particularly loved: It didn't labor through an origin story; It really spent plenty of time establishing the characters of Matt and Foggy.

Hrm. I'm a little bit dissatisfied with the resolution with Pete. Not that I liked him and not that I can fault the reasoning behind getting rid of him… it's just that he was so one-note and with just one stage direction: creepy. He lurched around with a heavy stoop like he was drinking 24/7 every time we saw him. He…

Ugh. I don't care if she's the joke or in on the joke. She needs to be gone from public already. I don't get why Lorne Michaels else would make room for her foolishness in the context of the 40th anniversary, unless he's sweet on her. (barf, gag)

First, entertaining or no, this podcast had a lot of important things to say about the criminal justice system. And it routinely exploded my understanding about criminality and the nature of murderers and I imagine it did that for a lot of people. Those are valuable things and honestly, secondary to my entertainment.…

"Rubber Bullets. Honest."

I think the rage came from getting his hopes up and having them ruined. Add to that maybe some shame for letting Missy get under his skin one more time. Plus, I'd have expected a trap to spring when he showed up at these fake coordinates Missy gave him. Maybe that'll get dropped in later.

It could be done if parents are still alive but I'm so not invested in that kis's well-being. Danny sending him back shows how his guilt as a soldier was more important than his love as a man, which, ultimately reflects poorly on Danny in my mind. I know, I know, "Children are innocent and must be protected," but that…

I feel like we didn't really get any resolutions done with this finale. There was more good character work like there's been throughout this season but any resolutions got deferred. The doctor's determination to be "an idiot in a box" just isn't a truly reflective statement. The relationship between Clara and the…

I'm not meaning to be glib or dismissive of our Toys friends in the picture on this page, but do kids really even recognize these characters as toys anymore? It occurred to me that as I work with children every day and have three nephews and nieces, no one has toys like these. Buzz Lightyear is sorta a 90s pinnacle of…

Does anybody else remember this?

I gotta agree with dygitalninja: don't peer at the grades too hard. It's not ideal when applied to two-partners and other Whoreviewers have struggled with them.

Didn't the tenth Doctor have a line that was something like, "Reason? Why on earth should we pay attention to something like that?" I know I, getting the words wrong, but if I've learned anything about the Doctor, it's that he flings aside reason every chance he gets, allows himself to hope and to care when maybe he…

"Analysis starts to grate on people."

Rory was willing to engage with the weirdness he found in the world. Danny sees a forest move into central London and decides to take his students for a hike. He makes me think of the Pegg/Wright view of being British: "Nothing special going on! Just ignore whatever seems alarming!"

I like your take on Danny. He feels like such a downer because he so thoroughly rejects the incredible and awesome things surrounding him in this world. And that's realistic, and it shows richness in character. But it's not what I like best about Who, and so he feels like a downer that doesn't belong.

Darn it! Last week, I was thinking about how much I basically disliked Danny Pink, and now I think he's the shizzle.

One if the best parts of Doctor Who is that it has thematic depths that can be seen and analyzed…if you want. Or it can be enjoyed as some light froth and consumed with no extra thought. If you prefer the latter plan, maybe TV Club is not for you.
