I’ll admit the hellhound thing kinda confused me — like, I get that the obvious joke is that they think it’s a hellhound and it’s not, but that felt really random, like either there was more to the joke that got cut, or maybe it’s setting something up for a future episode. I dunno. Either way, popping in for...

To be fair, Davies had some storytelling tics and formulas that were getting tiresome after all that time, and everybody was focused on the then-new showrunner being the guy who brought us “Blink” and “Girl in the Fireplace.” I’ll openly admit, I was one of those people who was like “Ugh, thank goodness.” And then…

To be fair, they kinda had to be back then. In the early days of the show, the BBC bent over backwards constantly to dodge any implications that the older male lead characters were sleeping with the young, attractive female sidekicks. It’s the reason why Susan was the first Doctor’s granddaughter, for instance.

Honestly, the first thing that hair brings to mind is Peter MacNicol in Addams Family Values. The second thing it brings to mind is a middle-aged man cosplaying as George Michael Bluth.

I can’t help but notice that there’s now a puzzling trend of female leads from the MCU not showing up on What If…? (previous episodes had Black Widow and Pepper Potts played by different actors).

I didn’t mind the size as much, I just wish it’d been clearer how small it was so I could have ordered two. Like, even in photos that have it next to other things or held in the hand, it appears larger than when you actually have one.

I openly admit I came here to post that if nobody else had beaten me to it.

Oh my goodness, this one was delightful fun. I can’t think of anything to add that hasn’t already been said, so I’ll just jump ahead to...

I think the biggest flaw with Season 5 is that David Simon was trying to do something with the newspaper plot that probably looked brilliant on paper but didn’t translate to TV that well. In particular, they were trying to create a visible absence in the things that the newspaper was completely missing, between the…

There’s a deleted scene in the movie where the vampires are ‘paying’ their bills by hypnotizing the utility companies over the phone. That plus whatever money Colin Robinson brings in probably covers most of it. The rest might come from vampiric allies, given that they were sent to Staten Island on a mission to…

I feel like it’s really easy to come out of season 2 for the first time feeling underwhelmed by the contrast of things that got changed up with the things that didn’t. But season 2 shows its true strengths when you look back on it later and realizes just how much foundation it lays for the rest of the series.

I’ve been getting kind of an “off” vibe with Colin Robinson this season. I think some of it is that they’re trying something a little different with him rather than just rehashing the bits they did with him in seasons 1 and 2, or maybe it’s because they’re clearly building up a bit of an actual arc for him this season…

In his defense, not even Colin knows what his deal is.

That was my assumption.

If they don’t go out of their way to do this, I’ve got a fanfic that needs written.

That was one of the lynchpins in the lawsuit regarding Underworld, in which a vampire elder actually calls one of the hybrids an “abomination.”

IIRC, the last time it was up for Emmys, it was up against Schitt’s Creek when they basically swept the entire comedy genre.

I never minded Trevor, though to be fair I don’t think I’d enjoy the character nearly as much with a lesser actor in the role. But Killian’s “I was the Mandarin all along” schtick later on bugged me more, especially given that the line was delivered through a mouthful of chewed scenery, like it was supposed to be some…

Ah, yes, I recall tackling one of these many a year ago when I was a kid. I can’t remember exactly how long it took me, as I didn’t really bother timing it, but I’m reasonably certain it took me about a month.

When I think of a hypothetical movie of this or TV show, my mind drifts to the podcast “Within the Wires,” which tells stories from an alternate Earth but through the medium of ‘found audio’ from that universe. So the first season is a series of relaxation types from a type of mental asylum. The second season is art…
