“Are you my Mummy?”

can’t AI come up with better energy solutions?

That’s the one with the kid with the gas mask, right? Yeah, I’ve seen that one. I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Eccleston. 

If his stuff is only 33% crap, he is way ahead of Sturgeon’s Law.

Mel is basically 100% confirmed back for this story. Which also means the really cringy-sounding “biregeneration” rumors are also likely true.

As an on and off casual fan of Doctor Who, this anniversary is doing exactly what it needed to do: making me watch Dr. Who. Not just the new specials, but since the anniversary, a Dr. Who is now available like never before where I am (Canada)

Yea, buddy, that’s all subjectively your opinion. The second special was a great Doctor episode and it’s been a pretty universal critical success at that if you’ve paid any attention this week.

If it gives Tony and company more time to make Season 2 as good or better than the first, I’m find with a delay. It’s the only Star Wars content that I’m anticipating since Mando went down the tubes and Ahsoka was Ahso damn boring.

Paddington 3 looks crazy.

That doesnt sound right . . .

“That’s not my bag, Baby.” 

66% of players aren’t furries?

The issue is that post-Endgame they didn’t take an opportunity to go small again and build back up.

Not bagging on you at all, especially since I appreciate that you took time to re-consider the temperature of your original take - but I have to note a contradiction in your conclusion. These two things:

Perhaps the problem was that viewers were expecting an Anniversary special and what they got was a very good episode with nothing particularly “special” about it?

The danger is when fans take their speculation and make it expectation.

The Monarch show has been far, far better than I would have estimated; tense, nicely structured, good characters, and a smartly used budget: it has come together nicely.

Spider-Man Noir will probably be hot-garbage BUT if they keep it the hell removed from the live-action Spid-sony-verse... who knows?

Rupert would own it all. 

Except that this one didn’t have bad writing. It was a good, fun, funny movie.
