One thing I really enjoyed about this episode is that the Doctor thought Robin Hood was as insufferable a douchebag as I did. I really didn't like that annoying fake laugh.

Justin Lin could be a fantastic director, but I have not enjoyed the movies he has directed.

Man, I don't know about anyone else but this had to be the least memorable episode of MoS I've seen yet. The only thing that struck me as halfway interesting was the Libby subplot, and even that just kinda went 'round the way I was expecting it to.She needs to hurry up and fuck Robert, because that's where it's going

I don't think it was the best episode of Doctor Who I've seen, but it sure as hell was one of the most consistently good ones.Solid story, cool (if overdone in general) premise, great dialogue, and rock solid pacing. Really enjoyed it.

I dug the episode. Had a clunky start but once the plot coalesced into a "case of the week" it got my attention. I was lukewarm on Capaldi up until the confrontation with the lead droid. His performance in that scene made me a convert. Such utter pragmatism and such a sober outlook on the situation at hand sold me on

Goddamn it Henry.

That's a bummer. A lot of the appeal for me - originally - had to do with the sideways glances at Lovecraft and what not. Of course my interest in the show soon got wrapped up in the human drama and watching what Matt McConaughey kill it as Rustin Cohle, but those little touches, those little nods to something just on

Anyone else miss the show Boss? I liked that show. I really miss that show.

Disqus ate my long, long post so here's the short version:

That study is specifically in reference to people feeling smug toward their peers because the spoiled have secret information that other people don't have.

I hold no nostalgia for the medium itself. For me the medium is another outlet to tell good stories. Stories are what I'm after, and it's why I watch television shows.

I like all werewolves! Even the kinda-feline looking ones from Underworld (I swear the first one is pretty good)! My enthusiasm isn't so much that the other appearances/aesthetic forms are bad, more that it's been a long time since we've had a real out-and-out Wolf Man. Too much of the same thing can get boring after

I think there's a middle ground. I mean, I personally have a three day rule when discussing fiction with friends (specifically for television). We've all agreed to give each other three days from the original air date to catch up and if you don't, well, sucks to be you.

Yeah, you can frame that in a sympathetic way.

I think I'd love the opening credits if there weren't so many goddamn spiders. I'm not quite arachnophobic, but I'm pretty close to it.

Is anyone else really, *really* happy that they decided on the Lon Chaney aesthetic for Chandler's transformation?

What drew me to this show originally were the hardcore science fiction episodes. Stuff like The Empty Child or The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit that was unafraid to roll up its sleeves and really dig into complicated subject matter. As far as I'm concerned I still get three or four of those episodes each series so

This episode hit home for me, although not because of something exciting like theft of school property. More in the relationships and interactions between the boys. It reminded me of my own interactions with a tight circle of friends I had at that age. It was nostalgic for me, but also pretty sad. When you fall in

Out of curiosity, which of you noticed the hand job under the towel?

I'm about six episodes deep into season 2 and I'm amazed that Piper is somehow not insufferable like last year. Maybe it was the whole bullshit with Voss, but S1 Piper was grating and I was hoping the tweaker would off her already so we could get to the interesting characters.
