… Exactly what it sounds like. Just moving in with somebody, but it usually implies they actually own the place or whatever, as opposed to both of you renting off a landlord, so you're paying less rent.

It's not actually a trilogy. It's a single novel, often divided into three volumes for publication. Which are in turn divided into six "books".

Pfft, like they'd get a science fiction budget. They were on a cop show budget. I think they had a £50 SFX budget per episode.

Reading a Clark Ashton Smith collection. It's interesting - wordier even than Lovecraft, and more fantastical than Howard. It's amazing how hard it is to get a nice edition of Smith, though. He doesn't seem to have anything like as many collections available as the other two. I just found two old Panther paperbacks.

(Well, as I said, nor did he. I think over the three years the series covers, it's maybe four people.)

Thank you! I couldn't find the article again.

I finally reached the finale there a fortnight ago. You couldn't make something that defiantly pessimistic and cynical nowadays.

On the contrary, this'll only be the third time ever that they've not had a character overlap. Troughton-Pertwee, Tennant-Smith and this time.

Kirk only slept with (IIRC) eleven people across the entirety of Star Trek (and that's including old off-screen relationships like Carol Marcus). Only two (and an ambiguous third) were aliens. And the majority of them were long-term relationships, or episode b-plots where he legitimately fell in love with someone.

For the sake of simplicity, they're not changing the "names" of each Doctor. So it just goes Eight, War, Nine, etc. So she's still the Thirteenth Doctor, even if she's the fourteenth actual body. The Doctor very rarely refers to which incarnation he is by number, anyway.

"Kamelion, but done well" would be good. Keep the shape-changing aspect so it's actually a different actor every episode. Might be interesting.

They're not fresh enough in my mind to really pick out high points and low points, but I do remember the first arc being a bit more Morrison-esque as Pollack transitioned the characters towards her own set up. I remember the later, full-on Pollack issues to be better. Once Coagula shows up, maybe.

I've actually collected most of Pollack's Doom Patrol in single issues. I was foolishly waiting for the full set before I read them end-to-end, but I've read most of them. The Ted McKeever -illustrated ones are amazing.

Or Jesse and Cassidy at the end. I'd never seen somebody use a quote in place of a sound effect before.

The borders full of spectators (including Walt and Weezie, and guest Marvel characters! And Jimmy Olsen and the Newsboy Legion getting a vox pop from a parademon!) really pushes Orion over the edge for me in "best fights". That's a proper event fight.

It's a real shame if it's insubstantial, given how dense the Steranko issues are while still being visually stunning and a self-contained story each issue.

It's just one of those things you have to accept in a superhero universe. The same as "why don't Superman and Batman switch cities for a week and clean up Gotham?" or "why doesn't just about any god-powered hero show up and stop this street-level villain?". The whole thing falls apart if you can't suspend enough…

Not really a twist, but definitely a surprise - Paul McGann showing up in "Night of the Doctor". And then all over again when he mentioned Charley and Lucie. (Even better because my fiancée saw it first, then deliberately didn't tell me it was going to be McGann, because she knew how excited I'd be.)

Maybe he genuinely thought it was a picture of Nelson.

My friend's older brother used to be a manager there. Nothing else to add. Just that.
