I only watched Preacher in the first season because my friend played a rather famous character in Annville. I thought the first season was enjoyable but not something I'd run back and watch again, at least at this point in time. I'm a late comer to the second season, just having watched "Dallas". But I think the

I love Doctor Who and Broadchurch. But I have to say that I love your username. Also loved that show as well.

It's as if all the work they tried to make Ms. Gordon into a three dimensional person went for naught when the writers concocted the sex scene.
"I'm a frustrated young woman. I'm as intelligent as any of my peers. I think my boss keeps me down. So what do I do? In a moment of frustration and anger, I have sex with him."

A Nerdist reviewer liked the way Barbara Gordon was fleshed out as a character in the first twenty-five minutes of the film. But to me, it felt disjointed and the implied sex scene was, in my opinion, poor judgement. I understand the point that the Nerdist reviewer was trying to make but in the comic/graphic novel,

The scene with Vanessa and the hall of mirrors reminded me of the scene in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" where Dracula and Mina ventured in the streets of London and saw that puppet show/play. The play just before the wolf appeared.

A song was omitted here: The flute solo from 'Memory Bank' from Jethro Tull (Passion Play). You know the song that was playing when Richie stormed into the conference room and broke the record.

I actually thought the obvious comparison of 'Vinyl' would be the movie 'Almost Famous' (2000). Both covered the same era (1973) and almost covered the same artists, albeit with no references to punk.
The difference being 'Almost Famous' was written by Cameron Crowe as almost a love letter to the era while 'Vinyl' is

And as a fan of Doctor Who, I also appreciate the nod to "Deadwood" with your profile. That was a show that needed closure which never had the chance.

It's been in the cards that Alex Kingston will reprise her role as River Song this season but the actress I'd love to see return in one off episode would be Catherine Tate.
Nothing against Billie Piper, who was in the 50th, or Freema Agyeman who both are fine actresses who were great companions but Catherine brought a

The episode that won me over for Donna as favorite companion was "Planet Of The Ood".

I keep seeing crossover: This is the second time one could pick out a homage to the CW show "Supernatural". The first was in last week's episode concerning the Wendigo (a monster from the older show and now this week a homage to the show in that the first victim was found in a Chevy Impala (red, not black and a

I like Michelle Gomez' portrayal of Missy. It is a bit unhinged but I still think the best portrayal of a psychopath has to be portrayal of Alice Morgan by Ruth Wilson in "Luther".
