I haven't actively hated an episode of this season either, but I'm not willing to let them slide for making episodes that are just kind of okay or somewhat watchable when I know that back in the day, they were

Well, okay, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy that, Shame about the rest of the episode (seriously, it wasn't as bad as one could've imagined with that concept, but goddammit you can also put Jared in a tank top without having to do weight loss spas and Peruvian fat suckers)
Tell me again, why do we need weak filler like Sharp Teeth, The Purge and #thinman when we can be getting this?
Jessa is so excited! She's so excited!
I'd say The Unicorn and the Wasp is much better than this one. I suppose the season 4 episodes aren't going to be re-reviewed? I love these reviews and would like to see a more in-depth look at RTD's last season too.
I'm looking forward to finally seeing why people dislike Daleks in Manhattan in the next review. I actually thought that story had a lot of great parts to it, as opposed to Victory.
'Oh hey, look, Winston Churchill. Also Daleks! They are still around for reasons, now who would have expected that.' I'd agree that it's not an episode I hate, but that's about the most positive thing that can be said about it.
It's been some time since I last watched Futurama, now I'm remembering just how 'The Late Philip J. Fry' destroyed me emotionally when I watched it and I'm thinking you're right actually. (And my favorite Doctor Who episode ('The Girl in the Fireplace') is actually pretty similar to that one now that I think about it.)
Idk, I liked this almost as much as last weeks. Mostly I've been noticing just how visually stunning Revenge has become over the years.
Well, it has happened to Macra, it has happened to the feral humans of Utopia, it has happened (SPOILERS) to the non-feral humans of Utopia in a different way… this ain't a show afraid of really, really fucked-up propositions of the future.
I don't think they could pull off the more spiritual aspects of that episode though. The car jumping thing would probably really work out great though.
I'd say The Shakespeare Code is by far the worst of RTD's historical drama episodes, mostly because the portrayal of Shakespeare leaves a lot to be desired (mostly he's characterized as awesome :) but also a jerk :( but that's okay because he has a sob story :'( - I get that he's there so they can bounce Shakespeare…
I've never seen an episode of either of those shows. Is StarCrossed any good?
I'm not entirely sure that disproves the point. (And goddammit, I just want Klaus to get a boyfriend. I don't ask that much of you, The Originals.)
Well, holy shit. If Claire Holt is gone for good, she's definitely left on the highest note possible.
I think the Salad Fingers comparison came to mind because this episode used music in a very similar way (Beware the Friendly Stranger by Boards of Canada could have started playing at any moment) and the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
I don't usually watch Adventure Time but I might start. This was pretty awesome, parts of it pretty much Salad Fingers for children, parts of it a morality tale.
It's so weird. Like, looking at Conrad's actions in the larger scale shows him as pretty much objectively the worst, but then he does things like that and generally shows so much respect to worthy opponents (when he's not, you know, straight up murdering them) that you just can't help liking him anyway. And that makes…
He said something to that extent after she freed him from Nico's murderous claws. I liked the fight well enough, but then again I prefer my revenge to take the form of meticulously crafted schemes resulting in social embarrassment and one-liners.
I'm just compensating for not being able to speak French without sounding like a idiot, sorry about the snide comment.
