Those people were always just lying, trying to come up with a reason why people with guns should be scared of people without them. They can't sell them hope so they sell them fear.

If Lynch has changed stylistically, it's by making sure things end, if not properly, then at least sort of satisfyingly. Lost Highway has an okay ending but once the knock-off Justin Timberlake guy is established you're pretty much marking time til the end.

Those gumdrop buttons you like are going to come back in style.

Biggest laugh for me was Matthew Lilliard going from vague hysterical sobbing to … scuba diving?

So yeah… really weird reading this now.

That's probably the origin, but I know that in the UK it just means in trouble - and if you're "in the shit with" someone it means that you've pissed them off in some way. Garfield grew up in Epsom, so that's probably what he meant.

I guess if he wanted, he could get into character by doing basically the same thing but then every once in a while someone calls him a sinner or a slut, or just punches him in the face without warning.

I'm not sure if "in the shit" means what you think it means.

"The killings and physical violence were not to protect innocent life, but instead were repugnant and morally indefensible images designed to appeal to young consumers."

So this is basically an actor saying something dumb about The Process or whatever.

I think South Park is more worried about driving away its audience than upsetting people who probably don't watch the show at all.

You realise that there's a big difference between opposing censorship and then being censored, and opposing *self*-censorship and then censoring yourself, right?

They have, and you'd think that would make them realise how bad it looks when they self-censor for fear of upsetting the right-wing Pepe-humper portion of their fanbase.

Srsly. It's pretty clear that their planned arc was going to be about a resurgence of fascism off the back of popular nostalgia. And then it's equally clear that they ditched that arc as soon as Trump won the election.

Sounds like a long list of excuses, with even a silly cowardly "they're coming for us!" bit at the end.

Thinking about it, the main good thing about this episode was that we got to see what John Simm would have been like as the Master if he'd ever once had a decent script to work with. I mean, I *guess* his first full episode was fine, but it was really goofy and has been forever marred by the arse-up that followed.

Similarly, there's never going to be a Valeyard and people should just shut up about it.

Her voice out of Bonnie Langford's mouth would've done it for me.

It's weird that there was a time when him being the Doctor seemed like it'd be weird.

I think it's because, at that point, people mainly knew him for Blink. But I agree: his stuff DOES generally tie up neatly in a way that RTD's often does.
