I paid close attention during The Marvels to see just how much I needed to know in order to understand it. Kamala’s entire origin story is told the first time she holds up her bangle; that she has a complicated family isn’t even vaguely essential to understanding the plot. Monica does away with her origin story in a…

Why is there a kid in a battlefield? Did he get a special dispensation from logic? Why would any parent choose to take a child into war?

You do remember how we were explicitly shown the extent of what happens when someone steps on that EXACT mine right? How it just “blows up” the person and what they’re carrying and doesn’t even leave a scorch mark on the mine?

Yes, the article mentioned her specifically.

I liked “The Snowmen” quite a lot too, and “The Husbands of River Song” was pretty good, but I agree in principle: Moffat’s track record on Christmas specials is significantly worse than his track record on regular episodes.

Doctor Who Christmas specials are always the lowest point of the season, regardless of who’s writing them, and I think Moffat has a better track record of making them not suck than anyone else. There are only so many ways you can shoehorn Christmas into a story and still have it be interesting.

This is very misleading. Overnights for BBC were down, because it was up against Eurovision. Streaming however, has been an entirely different animal. But way to pick and choose.  And frankly, ‘woke’ Doctor Who (which, c’mon, has always been ‘woke’) has been extremely popular with fans. Hell, my wife actually stayed…

I have read differently. I have read that Doctor Who viewership on Disney+ is good.

Got any actual data on that?

“Space Babies”: ha ha what if babies could talk and were running a space station, what if a Xenomorph was made of snot, what if a space station could make a big fart, ha ha.

No, Into Darkness’s biggest mistake was the misdirection about Khan’s identity. Everyone knew who Cumberbatch was playing long before the movie came out, but they insisted on the stupid misdirect that wasn’t really a misdirect. You want to make a movie about Khan, just say you’re making a movie about Khan.

Non-canon.

Yeah it is great if you want to watch a lot of Miles and Keiko home life drama, which was agonizingly bad.

One could even say it was irrelevant whether the mask was certified or not, since people would naturally sit as far away from you as possible.

They’re trying to push us towards buying YouTube Premium.

Is it just me or, in the last year or so, every company has just decided to go “Full Bastard”?

I believe that I’ve seen every episode of every show in the “Arrowverse” including the adjacent shows Superman & Lois and Naomi. While sometimes the shows didn’t have the highest of production values, they were always watchable. I’m still angry that Legends of Tomorrow never got a proper ending. 

That silence you hear is is the collective fucks given by every North American Doctor Who fan who have had to deal with this minor inconvenience their entire lives. (Unless they happened to catch the premiere of The Five Doctors on PBS which aired on the proper 20th anniversary date instead of waiting for the…

Put me in “he’s perfectly right” column as well. Presumably, the people whining about this are full-grown adult, and thus should be able to

i mean he is right. if you care that much about spoilers you can avoid them pretty easily. its mostly peoples own weird hangups about FOMO that gets them mad.
