Lol, the Bachelor. Just put this website out of its misery already. 

I still don’t get the need for directors to keep giving this incredibly lukewarm take. Yeah it sucks that the movie you made, a labor of love, didn’t get a full theatrical run. But also...cope. It’s not personal. It’s the result of a global pandemic that has killed ~4.5 million people (so far).

This and Spyfall we’re both a bit hyperactive for my taste. I don’t mind zippy pacing but it feels like they’re trying to disguise weak plotting by not lingering on anything too long.

Decent episode but a few issues i had with it were that Gabriela was practically useless and how did spaceman get the message to his husband? She just kinda gawps for the entire episode and hardly seems phased about losing her friend. Spaceman was hooked up to an alien machine so how did he manage to get a hold of a…

I thought this episode was terrible- I’m talking Cyberwoman level terrible- unlikeable characters, really bad dialog, and plot devices that didn’t make sense. The whole The Birds thing seemed to be “our SFX dept bought a package which allows us to overlay a murmuration...”

Pending someone pulling the wibbly lever on this, or reversing the neutron flow or something, I am going to apply my encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of this series and my strong reasoning skills... and accept things at face value.

I cheered when Benni got shot because we wouldn’t have to hear her yell out his god damn name anymore. 

It was the kind of perfectly mediocre episode that the Chibnall era has been missing. It was not good, but at least it felt like Doctor Who

I agree but that’s one of the reasons why I preferred this to something like Spyfall where everyone separates and scatters to the winds. People pair off etc. but you’re not stuck with any pairing for long and they can also regroup without all being stuck in separate A B and C stories. And in this I actually thought…

May be a personal preference on my part, but I do think messages like that are more effective when they’re organically integrated into the story. Doctor Who is no stranger to difficult issues, but it isn’t usually this jarring.

It’s almost as if Doctor Who wants to appear progressive but is too scared to anger the Tory heads running the BBC. David Cameron gave John Whittingdale complete control of The BBC and it’s all gone a bit shit since then.

“I would say that you don’t want to assign any accountability to them for becoming prostitutes, and my guess is that it’s because you don’t want to accept any yourself.”

I’m trying not to read snark in the opening paragraph—I know how much of that is the reader and not the words—so maybe it’s my misread, but can we not spend so much time on Alan Moore’s opposition to adaptation if its going to reductively not include the complexities of creator rights, work for hire, authorship and…

My impression was pretty much the opposite to this review. I liked the interlocking plots (aside from that dull “Ultra” subplot) and tension between the parents; and I thought the action scene at the end was terrible.

Well, I believe as you've eloquently pointed out, that maybe 1 in 10 juries would have had a brave, intelligent soul mediating the institutionalized injustice. My feeling is it was probably more like 1 in 100. Or even 1 in 1,000. So you see how the story doesn't really do justice to how overwhelmingly unlikely is the…

No the real question is did she leave any popcorn on his pubis?
