I liked the reveal of what was going on, but the first half of the episode committed too hard to the generic horror movie stitch in that it moved too slowly and none of Bill's friends had any personality. Probably the weakest episode so far this season, and I think that's in large part because Bill and the Doctor were…

The FNL connection makes me imagine they're casting Josh Radnor as the Coach Taylor of theater kids, which doesn't work on multiple levels.

To lightly borrow a John Oliver joke, is there a single person alive who knows who Josh Radnor is?

Don't know anything about him except my little cousins went to one of his shows like a few weeks ago. Apparently they enjoyed it.

Your Star Trek comp makes me want them to take it a thousand years into the future and make it a Sci-Fi space series that's only connected to the original GOT in having the same cynical portrayal of politics and violence, a wide scope of characters and cultures, and some of the same base mythology at work- I feel like…

I don't think this is a very good idea, regardless of how many of these proposed spin-offs they actually produce. People always say "Oh, this fantasy world is so big in scope there's so many interesting side stories you could do once the main thing is done" but in practice I don't think that's really true. The side…

While I can certainly think of individual moments from other shows that were more emotionally impactful in a specific way, I don't now that I've ever seen a short scale emotional rollercoaster like those 15 minutes. Amused by Daisy going Moses, emotionally distraught at the confrontation between Fitz and Simmons, Awe…

I feel like this article's description of the video as pitting the movies against each other is very misleading; it's not really a "which one is better" video so much as it's just using both of them at the same time as examples to discuss broad storytelling techniques

Finish Him

Good episode, but- and I say this with no judgement towards Alasdair's freedom to give the grades he wants- wouldn't have considered this an A episode. I think A should be reserved for stone cold classic, and this isn't really that- there's nothing memorable in this episode like a great monster/villain, no awe…

I'm into the idea of a Jeff Goldblum blockbuster-neissance starting wiith this and Thor Ragnorak

A question I have is whether the Avengers exist in the framework. Not that I want the show to address that since its outgrown token references to the movies (though I'm imagining a scene in my head of walking into some Hydra Room where they discover body bags containing the Avengers inside, which feels like a really…

Brett Dalton and Chloe Bennett were so good in that one heart pulling scene that I like felt proud of them for coming so far as actors over the course of the series.

I like the idea of avoiding doing a boring traditional take on King Arthur, but it feels the movie suffers from not going far enough with that idea. The trailers still look like a lot of really generic fantasy stuff that just happens to presented with some modern film making quirks. It could have worked if you cranked…

Huh. I thought it was weird and creepy

If you're just saying Sangster was better in Human Nature than Capaldi in Pompeii, sure; If you're implying Capaldi is not doing great work as the Doctor, then we have a problem

Really interesting set-up, didn't quite stick the landing. I was thinking where it was going there at the end was that after the robot was killed, the Emoji Bots would now understand the concept of grief and that it wasn't a terrible emotion that necessitated murder. Having the Doctor just push the reset button feels…

I think it's completely possibles these movies flat out tank domestically. Internationally, though, could still be huge enough to make up for it

Yes, but the same thing didn't stop Capaldi

Agree on the no to Kris Marshall, but if BBC is really set on another young white guy, I really like the idea of Thomas Brodie-Sangster (the kid in Love, Actually). I like the contrast of going from an elderly doctor to one even more boyish than Smith, but Sangster can still pull of that whimsical centuries-old feel…
