I like the part where the article basically mocks everyone who dared disagree with the AV Club's review. Keepin' it classy and respectful.

I really enjoyed this one, it was a fun little adventure-romp, but there's one thing that bugs me. I appreciate the fact that Clara is trying to have her own life outside of her adventures with the Doctor, but this thing where she's trying way-too-frigging-hard not to let on that she has a relationship feels like…
Bipper really reminds me, in a might-never-sleep-again sort of way, of the demon-possessed characters in "Locke and Key."
You'd think that. And yet, every time they put something on the air that's intentionally bad, about 2/3 of the Internet absolutely shits itself with excitement.
I found this to be a much stronger episodes than Deep Breath, if for no other reason than the fact that it was a lot more tonally consistent. It didn't spend half the runtime trying to figure out if it's trying to be silly or serious. The show (and Capaldi himself) is settling back into the right mix for the average…
It's weird, it's almost like… it's almost like the SyFy Channel doesn't actually have any interest in catering to science-fiction nerds any more. How could we have possibly seen this coming from the SyFy Channel, formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel, who once went out of their way to say they don't want to cater to…
Also, the scene where the Doctor was commenting on his appearance in the alley didn't quite work for me. I honestly wasn't sure if he was supposed to be confused or menacing. I mean, maybe they were going for a vibe that this could be a Doctor who'd flip out and beat up a hobo for his coat at any moment, but it felt…
In my experiences with the show, especially lately, the first episode to feature a new regeneration is always a little shaky. It comes across like a whole new series pilot as they try to segue the tones and such of the previous Doctor into the adventures of the new one. Especially since the actor is still finding his…
I thought the 11 cameo was a bit much, even for this show, though it did satisfy a friend of mine who was expecting a slightly longer goodbye from 11 to Clara before changing back in Time of the Doctor.
Personally, a lot of Clara's hand-wringing over whether she knows the Doctor feels pretty false given that her own timeline got interwoven with the Doctor's. Even if she's not fully aware of all of her little alternate selves helping him out, it still feels like she should understand the whole 'regeneration' thing a…
I enjoyed the hell out of the two-parter, though I kind of regretted watching it on the Nick website. On the one hand, I want to support the show by doing my part to help the numbers on the official site. On the other, the impact of a lot of the great action scenes is lost when all of the bullshit backend on Nick.com…
That's been my theory, too. That he somehow inherited something and has been trying to exploit it.
Am I the only one who gets the feeling that somebody went into this wanting to dislike it because they're burned out on the MCU?
Big fan of Scanners. It's a shame the franchise as a whole went down the toilet. I'd argue the second one is worth watching and the first Scanner Cop is probably the best overall outside the original. But Scanners 3 and Scanner Cop 2 just get into the purest-grade bad comic book BS. The stories seem to work the best…
Even aside from the fact that corporations, most of the time, will come down on the side of the attacker rather than the victim (especially when the attacker is a straight, white, showrunner), Page had a responsibility to make sure that he's safe to work around. I totally sympathize that he has mental issues but it's…
Because 'Walking Dead' was a brilliant panel-to-shot adaptation that didn't take the source material, chew it up, crap it out, and then film the turd.
Yeah, the writers confirm in the commentary that Jet's dead, and they just couldn't make it too graphic for TV. (they even make fun of the ambiguity in the Ember Island Players episode)
I just want to say that I really, really, REALLY wish Tenzin had given Korra the "you don't have to make everyone happy, you just have to maintain balance" talk at some point before this season. It feels like looking at the bigger picture would have done her some good.
It could be stupid, but I've got high hopes simply because of the work they did into presenting him as a knowledgeable and competent threat. (His understanding of the airbender histories and his combat techniques — in-setting, in the comics, there were people who studied the airbender forms for academic purposes even…
The fate of Zuko's mother is covered in the comics. (not going to get into specifics here because spoilers) At the time the show ended, they wanted to do it in a movie but couldn't get any takers.
And Spike who?
