It was Davies “snowing” us about the whole thing; the mystery was insubstantial and would melt away in the heat of any kind of deep investigation.

It’s better than most of those shorts. Easily.

That’s the premise of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” by Ursula K. LeGuin. And that’s why she was a science fiction grandmaster. 

I said in my own comment that Maestro felt very like “Mugatu” from Zoolander in delivery; OTT shouty/screechy stuff.

Heck yes Big FIsh is great and double heck yes Ravenous is one of my all time faves. Probably the film I recommend the most often to people.

Yes and no.

Wow no mention that Night of the Comet also stars a young Robert Beltran, Star Trek Voyager’s Chakotay?

This movie is my favorite story of how adopting a stray dog can change your life.

All of these survival games are just Inane Chore List Simulators, and I do not even remotely understand the appeal.

“Tom Cody. Pleased to meet yah.”

I’ll be honest, Streets of Fire is one of my favorite movies as well. It’s the perfect Cyberpunk movie, without the cyber. And Raven Shaddock has to be one of Willem Defoe’s scariest/creepiest roles.

All set in the Pig universe

I love that he hates to say it, but when he says it to Quellek he means it.

More a case of WTF than a TDWTF? 

It’s cynical. The obfuscation, as the article puts it, is there to make the audience as broad as possible, in the hopes of cashing in on those who sincerely believe Jones’ bullshit as well as those who just think it’s funny.

17.76 is a bit high, we all know its going on sale for 14.88

Everything involving the Time Lords is automatically a bit weaker (with the exception of Genesis of the Daleks, the one time that worked). Everything about the Time War is a giant yawn. The Timeless Child, Omega, Rassilon, the “Other”, etc: ugggggghhhhhhhh.

I’m explaining this to David Tennant and his mind is exploding.

I’d say it’s more akin to purposely farting in an elevator. He’s not really a “fuckup” because he: a) did it on purpose, and b) knew he would be hated for it.

Mole Ma’am

All of the above, plus *being* the Timeless Child is a passive and therefore uninteresting state. It adds nothing to the Doctor because she didn’t make any choices about it in the past, and has zero power to make choices about it now. It’s a retcon that makes the Doctor into a victim rather than a hero, and for what?
