What he does well, he does very well, i.e. setting the tone and character work. He just doesn’t seem to be able to do a particularly good plot. He needs co-writers like nobody’s business.

I actually liked this episode a bit better. I agree it wasn’t a huge payoff, but I did appreciate that there were things that came back up and character moments. It did feel like Chris Chibnall knew where he was going and I think Tim Shaw can potentially recur as a potential baddie. I do want DW to cultivate some…

I thought the three historical episodes were excellent. I’ve always been a sucker for the Quantum Leap-y aspects of Doctor Who. “Rosa” and “Demons of the Punjab,” in particular, were right up there for me with “Vincent and the Doctor.”

This wasn’t just the 13th Doctor’s best episode so far, but one of the best episodes of New Who, period. It took the “we can’t prevent this historical tragedy” structure of “Rosa” and did it one better by rendering the Doctor completely helpless: there’s not even a villain she can defeat this time around, since…

This just makes me feel so bad for his daughters. Can you imagine watching this movie with your dad and him turning to you and saying, “Don’t be fooled by that movie, you’re far too delicate to ever be a soldier.”

John Goodman marries Phylicia Rashad after both of their spouses die in explosions. The Conner and Huxtable families merge Brady Bunch style.

30 Rock stayed strong to the very end ... as long as Hazel was offscreen.

I didn’t really love this. I get that the point was to get Rebecca to take responsibility for her actions, but the whole Trent plot felt like it was accidentally taken from Jane The Virgin or something (no shade to that show, just completely different tone.) I’ve kinda felt like the show has become broader since…

I’d read the article before going and making jokes like that.

Except this song, while great, doesn’t hold a candle to “Let’s Generalize About Men”:

Really? What ‘shitty behaviour’? I haven’t committed serious sexual assault or harassed anyone (except for one instance where I kissed a female friend/former sexual partner on the face without confirming her consent, for which I immediately apologised, irrespective of her apparent lack of offence, and vowed never to…

Of course his statement seemed genuine, writing pretty things is what he’s good at. But he doesn’t get brownie points for appearing genuinely contrite when it took five women going on the record in a NYT expose for him to own up to it. He might be genuinely sorry - I don’t know, the words “I’m sorry” are nowhere to be…

I really did not like that scene where Eleven gets pissed off about Max. She hasn’t scene Mike in almost a year and he’s right in front of her, but she fucking leaves because he’s talking to another girl!? God, that pissed me off.

After reading The NY Times article, I’m glad a journalist investigated the rumors.

They also owe Tig Notaro an apology for calling her “ungrateful” and shit for daring to speak out about this.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

Josh threatening to call the police on Rebecca felt so reminiscent of Charlotte’s threat to BoJack in that episode. Even though it was slightly less extreme it hit just as hard for me.

This episode made me feel like I’d just watched a season’s penultimate episode of Bojack Horseman.

Fuck your priorities

That’s really not relevant. At all. White Josh is an adult and he was an adult when he met Darryl.
