Daisy/Sousa in that episode is the ultimate example of how to do romance in a timeloop story perfectly. Chibnall shoulda taken notes

its the absolute opposite for me, that album just got better and better with time. I think the lyrics are absolutely incredible too, especially on "Violent Delights", "Final Girl" and "Better If You Don't"

I was wondering when the best show on TV would be coming back!

can’t wait till they induct Dream Warriors so I can successfully make a “welcome to the National Film Registry, BITCH” joke

I don’t think American reviewers spend a lot of time watching five-episode British miniseries tbh. shame, It’s a Sin was an absolute masterwork. Lydia West was definitely the heart of it, but honestly I’d give the award to Keeley Hawes for her absolutely magnetic performance in the last episode

see I absolutely love Flatline. the monsters are a simple idea but super unnerving, it's terrifically written, and I would personally never call it filler because the shift in 13/Clara's relationship and the introduction of Rigsy are absolutely essential to what happens in s11

definitely the one. I think if you squint you can see a cool little experimental trilogy across Capaldi’s three seasons with Listen, Heaven Sent and Extremis. all 3 are phenomenal but HS honestly towers above most of the show for me

Capaldi’s entire era is... kind of the exact opposite of what your impression seems to be? the threats he deals with are generally more small-scale (one ship or train or building even) or borderline abstract (if his tenure has a Big Bad it’s arguably grief and trauma than any tangible threat). even his series finales…

she literally went scorched earth on army general guy three episodes ago for blowing up all the Sontarans only to outdo him with triple genocide without a hint of remorse this week. both of these episodes were written by the same person, who I honestly think at this point just throws out scenes one by one that he think…

Charlie/Dee is sneakily the funniest pairing on the show, wish they would utilise it more

hell yeah. give me all the big-swing, inconsistent, passion-project horror movies anyday. I’ll take them all over another mediocre reboot or shitty Slenderman movie

thanks for reminding me about A Little Devil in America! I haven’t read it yet but Hanif is my favourite writer working today, he’s absolutely incredible

Punch Drunk Love is his best! it’s the only PTA movie where I don’t feel like the Art is getting in the way of the artistry, if you know what I mean - he just sat back a little and let the movie work its own magic, and it pays off tremendously

and she’s in one of the best Doctor Who episodes of all time!

in wider circles, absolutely, but there’s a certain level where “A24-core” basically equates to “elevated horror” and that seems to be the context in which this review was using it

no, Stan Lee is Agents of SHIELD s1. he’s in T.R.A.C.K.S which is a dope non-linear episode set mostly on a train

...yes, we sure are lmao. A24 is the distribution studio at the forefront of a recent wave of movies that people (unfortunately) like to call “elevated horror”, for example The VVitch, Hereditary, It Comes at Night, Midsommar, Saint Maud and so on. they don’t exclusively make horror but their name is more or less…

AoS deserves top 1, frankly 

Agents of SHIELD below Falcon and the Winter Soldier is some fucking nonsense I'm sorry 

this was truly great stuff, comfortably the best of Jodie’s entire run for me. more confirmation (if any was needed) that the main thing Chibnall has been missing in his episodes is a co-writer as good as Maxine Alderton. presuming the horror elements and characterisation were hers (seems like a fair bit given those…
