Captain Jack Harkness when he’s on Doctor Who and definitely not when he’s on Torchwood.

Yeah, it’s hard for me to cast aspersions on the Royals when we have our own fucking tangerine Caligula in the White House. But I sure as fuck won’t be cheering his next wedding on, either.

Equally, as the article stated, there is no conclusive evidence that the presence of the royal family significantly impacts on tourism (or at the very least that their absence would be detrimental).

Holy shit, outside of Vijay’s dropped plot thread, this ep would’ve made for an almost truly perfect finale for the show. While I adore it and would love more (as with almost all cancelled/revived shows), I’m a little bummed that they didn’t get to use this as the cap to the whole series, as it checked just about…

Surely you saw him in Zoolander.

The current (though soon to end) series is written by Marguerite Bennett.

You’re right, this impromptu group of culturally and professionally disparate people who came together through pure serendipity to do something positive and adorable really ought to check its privilege.

Maybe that was a backdoor pilot, disguised as an episode of the Cosby Show? IIRC, was that the one where Theo went to college, and Adam Sandler was one of his friends/roommates?

Man are you guys humorless.

I figured this was no place for me to talk about my love of the other Star Wars prequels but MAYBE it was a place to mention how Last Jedi owns.

Go be tired somewhere else. I’ve been doing this for years on the AV Club, and solely about Alien 3.

Wrong. Neither of those would have invalidated the ENTIRE POINT OF THE PREVIOUS FILM.

Alien 3 as conceived didn’t have to be Ripley movie to work. But their insistence on doing so is why I’m glad Alien 3 never happened.

And why do you say Biehn would have to have been recast?

Huh. An article about a movie that doesn’t and never did exist. That’s new. What an interesting thought experiment about how freakin terrible such a third Alien movie would have been.

Could a transition to a 13-episode format, and the possible resulting budgetary muscle it provides per-episode, be just what Agents of Shield needs to keep going beyond season 6? I hope that this means they have the ability to bring in more interesting concepts from the comics and do them justice on the small screen.…

Maybe they are declaring their direction, but Last Man Standing couldn’t do that much for ABC. CBS isn’t seeing more than mixed results with their multi-cam comedies (Big Bang Theory is the exception). If they want to change direction this much from where they are now, they need to build a whole slate of shows and…

Prediction: ratings for the first couple of episodes will be high because a right-wing Twitter campaign will try and push watching it as some kind of victory, then they’ll get lazy and move on to some other stupid cultural bugaboo and the show will fade into obscurity.
