I honestly do not care about how she died. I care about how she lived. This is information we don’t need.

I think he’s spread too thin as showrunner, plus of course he’s doing Sherlock as well. That said, he seems to have solved that problem by re-using plots- ‘Missy in the Vault’ is pretty much a reworking of the fate of Eurus Holmes, and there have been times in Sherlock where I felt Cumberbatch had been given one of…
It’s really quite a tedious book. There’s just a lot of ‘my spacesuit was amazingly tough and strong. I ran down the corridor, blasting bugs as I went. I wondered what my father would have thought of me, if he’d had the guts to be there. I didn’t hold his pacifism against him though, as he had already said I was a…
Peter Capaldi calls the character ‘Doctor Who,’ as in ‘Hey look at me! I’m Doctor Who!’
I think it’s fine.
I’d say his main fault is that he is too plot-driven. His stories are often exercises in structure, like puzzles to be solved rather than stories to experience. It’s funny how he was widely regarded as the best writer in NuWho, and was the consensus choice to take over when Russell T Davies left. His episodes always…
And the show is increasingly about the Companion, not the Doctor. This wasn’t the case early on in his tenure, it was too focused on the importance of the Doctor himself in my opinion. I’d say he’s progressed, That’s turned around now, with Moffat doing some of his best work at the end. It’s a show about what it would…
Crazy idea: jokes should actually be funny, if you want people to notice they are jokes.
been done. By Steven Moffatt:
Ach, this ‘Moffatt is a sexist’ thing doesn’t hold water with me. Look what he’s actually done:
He’s gender-swapped the Master, and made her better than she was before.
He’s gender-swapped the Brigadier (sort of).
He wrote an episode where every single soldier was a woman and no-one mentioned it as anything unusual (the…
I always categorise his standard role as ‘successful guy who isn’t in touch with the spiritual realities of his life and is too wedded to his career.’ In other words, ‘Tom Cruise.’ Every Tom Cruise film is basically ‘Tom Cruise learns a lesson about life, plus explosions.’
That idea’s been there before Bale took it up and ran so successfully with it. In the book, Patrick Bateman actually meets Tom Cruise in a lift, and the two just stare at each other with nothing to say.
heh-heh. ‘Pearl-clutchers.’
I sort of retched when I read the line ‘she looks fantastic in her suffragette outfit’ and could not read on.
This man is the Rosa Parks of douchebags and this one Wonder Woman screening is his bus.
Imagine what will play out when he hears that some swimming pools or gyms have women-only sessions! THE GLORIOUS DOUCHEBAG REVOLUTION.
(or not, hopefully).
‘...the screening’s proceeds are going to Planned Parenthood.’
I like the bit at the end where they sing several of his most famous themes at the same time. That seems like an affectionate nod to the way they can run into each other when one has them stuck in your head. Every time I imagine either the Superman or the Star Wars theme, I end up going from one to the other.
Someone on Twitter pointed out the irony of the American Right defending these when usually they are against ‘participation trophies’ for sides that lost.
The line ‘I think he’s attempting re-entry’ at the end is the most James Bond Sex Pun that ever James Bond Sex Punned. That makes Moonraker Peak Bond.
That was my first thought too.
I have two theories about Paw Patrol:
