Robin: "The police searched this whole building, Batman. Not a clue in sight."

The line about Chuck made laugh a lot harder than any dignified person should (so I'm fine)… the series ended on the perfect note and the story had nowhere particularly left to go, but the idea of it incomprehensibly earning yet another season, despite being totally finished and not having any ratings AT ALL (albeit…

Robb is 16 in the books? Wow. I'd always assumed that his weak decision making was less down to age and more from inheriting his father's inability to accept that his enemies won't adhere to the same staunch code of morals he does, hence his letting his guard down at the wedding. Richard Madden's performance…

Upvoted for flawless deployment of the word 'travois'.

As someone who has never read the books, I don't see why the actors' ages has much to do with anything. I've read that there are changes in how the series handles certain scenes and characters compared to Martin's work, so personally (unless there's some important revelation to come based around certain characters…

It's nice to see people defending Martha after years of hearing how bland, insipid, underdeveloped, etc. etc. she is by people whose (understandable) hatred of her unfulfilled crush on the Doctor overshadowed the many wonderful things about her. Yes, the 'longing for the Doctor' thing was and is endlessly tedious, but…

The greatest shame about Six's era is that it has some terrific individual elements going for it, yet the execution (particularly in writing) is absolutely lousy. Colin Baker has all the ingredients to make a great Doctor, and the idea of the character being a darker, less capable and mentally unstable version of the…

I see this rough, take-no-shit, mega-macho city from hell is still content with one stripper who won't take her bra or trousers off.

Oops.

I found the movie fairly enjoyable as well, particularly the weirdly inventive voodoo-type stuff, but then I've never read the comics so the changes to the main character weren't really a problem. No idea what the plot was supposed to be, but as a delivery vessel for diverting pseudo-religious imagery, androgynous…

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Neeson works rather well as an unsubtle metaphor for the failings of post-9/11 Western society. See also the first Taken, where he played a one-man embodiment of America's brutal, xenophobic foreign policy.

I think that's more because people like Tennant as a Doctor, then separately remember Rose as their first companion (and because RTD never shut up about how magical and perfect she was), so assume that having them together made the best pair. Obviously I'm generalising, but it's always seemed to me that people like…

AoS is mostly just underwhelming and a tad incoherent while Torchwood, Children Of Earth aside, is completely dreadful almost all the time. I'll concede that Torchwood is a lot braver, throwing all kinds of craziness at the screen where AoS shoots for easy targets and scrapes over the line by hitting the outer edges…

I've always found this two-parter functional without being especially exciting, with many fantastic moments (Mickey! Daleks! Time Lord tech! Jackie and Pete! Bad Wolf Bay!) weighed down by execution feeling just a little too pedestrian considering the outlandish ideas at the story's core. It's a bit unfair to hold…

Great shame to lose him, but few will leave behind a legacy as magnificent as this one. http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Never has the c-word been so consummately captured in human form. It's as though, in 1965, God looked up said word in the dictionary and found the definition lacking, so in His eternal wisdom decided to create a perfect embodiment so a picture could be placed beneath said word in the dictionary and allow all who saw…

In defence of poor 9yr old Will Grantham, the Abzorbaloff design might have worked a lot better had it been made at the intended scale. One of the most painfully awful things (among many) about Love & Monsters is having to watch Peter Kay waddling after Marc Warren in that hideous makeup, looking both disgusting and…

"April 19: Seventh Doctor serial, to be determined."

This conversation is the perfect blend of art and commerce.

Thanks for posting! There's no end to how much I love Sly, everything about him is so naturally affable and hilarious, he's as natural a Doctor in real life as he was on-screen.
