Upon rewatching I realised that Bill actually calls him out on the inaccuracy of this statement and tells him he has never had time for anything but outrage, so at least it wasn't simply bad writing.

I think it's more likely he has some big blindspots when it comes to judging his own character.

The Greatest Show in the Galaxy is also pretty great. Happiness Patrol and Paradise Towers also have their moments. McCoy is my favourite classic era Doctor, mostly because his characterisation was so strong.

What do people think of the Doctor saying he has never had time for outrage? That's obviously incorrect isn't it? The Doctor is motivated by nothing but outrage.

A particular religious group gains a lot of traction, then congress and presumably the president are all machine-gunned to death.

I recommend reading it in general. The series will probably go in a slightly different direction given the fact that not a whole lot of narrative actually takes place in the book. It can only enrich your understanding of what's happening in the series.

I thought they were Mormon.

Yeah, what we really need is a television show that tells us how awful islam is. There just isn't enough of that kind of media around.

Bret Easton Ellis does the unreliable narrator thing really well.

It's really really bad, complete with tacked on happy studio ending.

You just described Atwoods whole body of work.

Fight Club completely fails as a compelling action film about a bunch of friends who form a club in which they fight one another.

A Mothra movie would bore the shit out of me even more than that Godzilla remake did.

Whatever dude.

Chibnall is a bad Who writer in my opinion, but he has the potential to be a great show-runner. If anything proves that it's Moffat, who is a great writer and turned out to be a terrible show-runner. Clearly the two skills are not connected.

It's The Master (Mistress).

RTD's seasons benefitted from not having the companions overstay their welcomes. Moffat is the complete opposite.

I wish he was staying on for one more season, but I think he is worried about a quality or stylistic shift taking pace when Chinballs takes over.

More than half of your 'good suggestions' are actors far outside of the budget the BBC are working with.
