I think that both Davies and Moffat have aped this as well. It works better for Davies, especially when he's talking about the Time War. The Could've Been King and his Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres in particular stands out as a lovely turn of phrase. Moffat, I think, is not so good at it. Jim The Fish, His…

Dude Glitz is like a freaky space creep who should never be allowed alone with a woman under any circumstances ever. He is horrifying and you just know from his shit that AT BEST he's got some horrible sisterwives shit going on.

After the show died the first time, Cartmel was part of the vanguard that tried to continue the show through the Virgin New Adventures novels. The ones Cartmel wrote are TERRIBLE.

Like a lot of McCoy stories, this one inhabits a much bigger, smarter thematic territory than it could ever hope to do justice to. Cartmel had a shitload of Hubris, which is probably why his attempts to do the show in prose sucked so much.

I dunno, I haven't watched it in ages but I never really got a sense of them as characters. They always felt more like props who were there to be mortified by Basil.

The R-Rolling really works for me because it's part of the Seventh doctor's consistently theatrical demeanor. It's one of those things like juggling or playing spoons or even how he carries himself that suggests the character's fundamental performativity.

It's not set up particularly well in the episode. In theory there's a consistent through-line. The Major starts the episode off with a big double-dose of racism and anti-German sentiment, and the near mono-maniacal repetition of "Don't Mention the War!" should build to it by suggesting how obsessive everyone is. But…

I like to think that that's how the Doctor gets rid of shit companions. He just marries them off to Glitz.

Fawlty Towers. Episode Six: "The Germans".

something something the ending of Ulysses something something boner alert

I was not even joking. IIRC she talks about wanting to do a movie reboot like that in her book and Ghostbusters is mentioned.

Mindy Kaling should be in it and it should be less Ghostbusters and more sex and the city where they happen to bust ghosts.

See I read the line more as a fourth-wall breaking NEENER NEENER NEENER joke, which is what makes sense in the context of squirrel girl 'cuz there've been a lot of similar jokes.

In the Comix, Shield tries aggressively to recruit her because she thinks that GLA does more good and is generally cooler.

Really? Because Uatu the Watcher said otherwise in the panel.

Naw, she totally did it. It's just that it's in a GLA Christmas special so nobody cares.

Squirrel Girl *did* defeat Thanos all by herself in the comics.
