The work on Jem was solid, I'd like to see the show try a similar approach with MM

Even though the show still has issues with dialogue and overall exposition I genuinely think this was a great episode. This is the first time in the show that every one of the supporting characters have worked and their motivations have been understandable. Benoist continues to shine of course but Mehcad Brooks also…

Exactly, eventually she'll have to face the raven a second time

Whatever happened to that 'image of an angel becomes an angel' thing anyway?

I think he used them to read who was from the other universe.

I sort of wish that Clara's last line were something like: "next stop Jane Austen". And it is absurd how much 'bisexual adventures' would make sense as a title of this hypothetical spin off.

How about the statue of liberty being a weeping angel? I fucking hate that. There is no moment since that thing was erected that someone on the street hasn't at least had it in their eye line. And that one can apparently hear it stomping and it's able to travel to an apartment building…. yeesh. Angels in Manhattan is…

For sheer emotion I'd put the Doctor wiping his own memory of Clara and his final conversation with her on the same level as Donna and Rose's departures. Which is a lot coming from me. I don't think this episode equaled Heaven Sent, which may be one of the best Who episodes ever, but damn it I enjoyed every moment of…

I think 4, 9 and 5 are my favourite seasons so obviously I consider Smith's first outing to be quite strong, but I do think there are certain aspects that would rub some the wrong way or just not connect with them. I have a pretty strong opinion on 6: that it's brilliantly ambitious and then falls in a screaming heap,…

I say this so often but it continues to be true: Peter Capaldi is an absolute treasure in this role. The scenes on Gallifrey are less significant than previews lead us to believe but I don't mind this since I will take a character driven story over an epic for epics same one.

The real horror was that she didn't know how hot she was

I will never be entirely sure what didn't click about Hazel, but she truly added nothing to the show. That said, she *was* funny when she returned for I think a one episide stint. Something with a doll made me laugh more in a few seconds than all her other screentime combined.

A know a guy who is obsessed with the show, having watched it all about four times by now and he gets a kick out of me engaging him with quotes. I'm not a fan of it so much as maybe watching a highlight reel once in a blue moon on YouTube though.

I read the comments to find out what this show was about good lord out of context plot developments are such fun to learn about

I didn't like her at first but her scenes (especially her chemistry with Benoist) have been a consistent highlight the last few weeks

And her screens. Don't forget her screens.

Hated that line. Sexism is obviously a real thing the show likes to discuss but a) it works both ways, b) that line really makes no sense to be coming from Kara and c) it holds no purpose other than this show, as you deftly put it, "can't fucking help itself".

I really like that idea actually. Black Mirror has the exact right sort of approach for such a story.

Creative adjustments are the biggie here. There is a ludicrous amount if potential for them to really go for it in terms of action-packed, continuity filled storytelling (not being explicitly tied to a spin off opens the door to be more focused) but it's not there yet.

Well… Yeah it was not as solid as I was hoping it would be after the last two episodes. Where this show excels is writing Kara's relationships with Alex and Cat Grant and I've [particularly liked how they've developed the latter but as a superhero show it's time to flesh out its world a little more and improve (or…
