Actually it's meant as an update of "There, but for the grace of God, go I", an epigram attributed to the sixteenth century Anglican martyr John Bradford. Bradford administered St. Paul's Cathedral prior to his death in 1555, when he was burnt at the stake.

It makes more sense if you think about UNIT's position in the world.

Missy probably won't be back any time soon. Gomez is based out of New York, where she has a young son. All of the stuff she's shot in the UK since he was born has been done very rapidly or very far in advance or just weirdly scheduled in general to work around her husband's TV schedule. She's probably quite hard to…

It's mostly reserved for roads where people doing the whole slow down look around eep eep eep hyper conscious thing can be dangerous. So up big hills, or along major arteries.

Oh, it's a terrible book and the New52 version of the character is total shit because he's not allowed to actually be a bad person or to deal with ground-level threats. Tonally he's forced to fit in with the broader superheroic universe and it definitely ruins the character. Like I said, it shits all over classic…

A read a couple of these when I was younger. I always imagined the world being less like the steampunk-thing and more like a slightly more anachronistic take on the world of Brazil.

The flipside of that is that people sometimes, you know, they get overcautious on the roads and that can sometimes be just as dangerous. The city I live in actually had to set up this system where there are designated roads you take when there's snow, like, everywhere, and you're not allowed to park or stop on them,…

One time someone asked him if his MS made it difficult to do VA work, and I swear to god he just said "Well, I don't know if you realize this, but the tremors make the squigglevision much cheaper"

Remember when It Gets Better was a thing and people got really mad if someone pointed out that all the Pixar animators talking about their inclusive workplace were still doing shitloads of stuff about straight, white men to the exclusion of all else?

The film was weird because it was 90% cranks with a handful of people who had legitimately compelling readings or insights into the film, but they were presented as equally ridiculous.

The reason TAL's reruns are so recent is the whole Daisey thing. At some point prior to that they made the decision to be a quasi-serious journalism show about somewhat serious journalisms instead of hte kind of light, goofy, essay-centric format that they'd had before. They might have risen to prominence with the…

No. The costume is very conspicuously based on Matt Smith's costumes from The Snowmen and Time of the Doctor.

According to people who have been reliable in the past, Clara leaves the show at Christmas because she's pregnant. So if Danny leaves now, honest odds are that Clara's already pregnant with an ancestor of Orson's.

Yeah but that was part of the panto villain thing. When she danced around the Garden it was kind of like "Yeah! Woo! Heaven! Hurray!"

Time Lords aren't super-enlightened beings. It's really, really important that you understand that. They know a lot about science, and they've inherited a lot of amazing and miraculous machines from their forebears, but they're not enlightened in any sense of the word.

The thing about the Master is that it would've worked SO MUCH BETTER if we hadn't seen her before. A lot of her material up 'til this point involves her being basically a succession of bad gags about fans in general and fangirls in particular. Fuck, her design is basically a gender-flipped take on the costume Smith…

Eh. I think she's probably gonna make way more dosh off of Pottermore than she would off of a book.

They really should've had her die horribly. Constantine's friends and associates tend to die horribly all the time because he's basically toxic.

The idea is, in theory, it's not so much a proper justice league as it is an informal group of magicians convened by Madame Xanadu to deal with deal with supernatural events beyond the abilities of superheroes. Justice League Dark is just a codename they're assigned by Steve Trevor.

The fucked up pacing here is probably representative of the fact that this is not only a pilot, it's also a pilot where parts have been reshot and edited around the fact that Liv isn't going to be a series regular. At most she might show up later as a guest star, but IIRC the reactions to her were really negative.
