Everybody hated Donna in the Christmas episode. Her redemption as one of the best companions ever, I think surprised everybody!

Murray Gold writes some great music, but he needs an editor. Somewhere around the middle of David Tennant's era, they figured out how to make the music less cheesy, but now it's a bit too maudlin, and there's always too much of it. When you compose for the overdramatic, less is more!
I feel like Captain Jack was different because he was a horny wild man. That was part of his character. His omnisexuality was part of the fun and that's because John Barrowman brought so much enthusiasm and energy to the role. He's attractive no matter what sex you're interested in.
It was a pretty cool movie in the theater and the title was completely appropriate for the plot. It's not like it was a waste of time.
I read the novelization of Survival before I saw the episode and I thought that was mediocre in my imagination. Then I saw the episode and thought it was horrible. We didn't get Sylvester McCoy episodes in Milwaukee (ever I don't think, at least not while I was living there) so I had to get tapes taped off public…
I ended up liking this show a whole lot more than I thought I was going to and I binged it on Hulu the past couple of weeks. My favorite network show in a long while. I thought the Regan reveal was great, I liked the priests, and I thought they used Chicago as a location well.
I actually thought part of Batman V Superman might be a clue that Negan was going to give Maggie the Lucille treatment. I'm also an idiot.
I remember this in the theater. I'm not the world's biggest football fan, but I watch Packers games. Around here, people talk about the Packers in hyperdramatic language constantly. It's all "legends" and "glory" and shit. Which, is fine, because it makes the games more fun, but this movie captures that kind of epic…
Agreed. MaddAdam has its moments but I had to force myself through the bore of Year of the Flood. The first book is terrific though, it coulda ended there (like The Matrix should've!)
Damn, this reviewer hates Murphy. I think getting the gringo perspective is part of the point of the show. The lead is Wagner Moura (he gets the first credit) and we spend more time with Pablo than anyone. The narration doesn't bother me and I like that it lightens the ultra-serious tone.
It's totally a Trek reference because Warped Speed is a Scotch Ale. It's an homage to everyone's favorite Chief Engineer!
That stretch of episodes you're talking about is right on. That's where Fringe went from pretty good to classic. It never reached those lofty heights again I don't think, but they were willing to change things up every season and I really appreciated that. I think FOX let them alter the narrative from the original…
My teenage self thought he was hilarious in "Made In America" and that was the movie that made me like him.
There are way too few factual errors for it to be written by Bricken.
I've got to agree here. I'm sure that some of the backlash is the idea of an all-female cast and that of course is going to be part of the narrative in a world of Gamergaters and Vox Days, some of the people who are pissed about the movie are mad because they see the all-women thing as a gimmick, pandering, etc… I'm…
I was so excited for this movie because I was a huge Carpenter fan. I bought the soundtrack before the film came out (only good song Sugar Ray ever recorded), grabbed the Starlog magazine that talked about the production, went to the preview screening in Milwaukee with my parents and this French foreign exchange…
Hey, when I was 14, I loved Delirious! But I was a sucker for a John Candy vehicle, had a crush on Mariel Hemingway, and that was my favorite Prince song for a long time. Anyway, it wasn't a big hit, but it's not fucking Clifford.
I don't know if I'm embarrassed or proud that I find a way to use this line somewhere in my life on a weekly basis.
This is the same story he told on Howard Stern when he also said that he was in debt because of Horace & Pete. The AVClub reported that story the next day so they've already heard this one.
Agreed, while this is a good article (and the more content from Noel the better), I don't see the Cobra connection to communism either. I never saw The Oktober Guard as bad guys in the show, even though as a child in the 80s, I saw the Russians and Communists (Reagan's Evil Empire) as bad guys in real life. I always…
