I keep saying negative things about the Chibnall era so let me focus on the positive: it looks beautiful and the credits are great.

That first one is an Ursula LeGuin story, innit?

Yup. Everything that Chibnall sets up seems to fall flat on its face - for example, the way this episode ends with 15 minutes of expository dialogue, including some really egregious “actually, I went back in time earlier and solved that problem in advance.”

I wonder if this series is going to be a Rise of Skywalker-esque overreaction to criticism of the last season. Lots of it sounds good on paper — returning villains! explosions! romance! Yaz doing something! — but I found the execution of this episode a little unconvincing. It all felt a bit forced.

To be followed by Coldfinger, Spectrum, and The Pie Who Loved Me.

No, that must have been someone else who understands how cinemas work

Reasons I would never live in America:

As a huge Xanadu fan, I'm really really hoping that this is a 21st century Xanadu.

All of the Terminally Online people will hate this film, either for being anti-TLJ or for not being anti-TLJ enough.

From fat nerd to literal Pornhub section. This is Cinderella for gamers.

They love funny people called Chris, so the next big movie will have a ridiculously jacked Chris O'Dowd.

Yes - it starts out as an Arrested Development knockoff but quickly becomes something very different. The most warm, humane, joyous show on TV right now.

That note-perfect, chef’s kiss of a finale

Two of my faves involved big musical numbers: the Cabaret episode of Schitts Creek and the phenomenal Eat Shit Bob episode of Last Week Tonight

It's morphine time!

I read a comment about the recent Ghostbusters trailer where some dude was arguing that he deserved this movie because he once had a Ghostbusters lunchbox. Imagine being a 40-something with a personality defined by your lunchbox? Imagine not being cripplingly ashamed of that?

“we saw much of the content in which we took comfort stripped for parts by venture capitalists and corporate demigods”

Nope. Simpsons fandom is measured in how much you hate the show. The most hardcore fans are the ones who hate every episode from Deep Space Homer onwards, although there’s rumors of a lost Usenet tribe that think it started going downhill in season 3.

Every Karen Gillan film is a tentpole release
