I for one am eternally grateful to 'Parasites Lost' for introducing me to the joy of saying the words 'pelvic splanchnic ganglion' over and over again, especially in the Professor's voice.

Interesting to see whether this or the new Twin Peaks is more successful at recapturing the old magic. My money's on David Lynch over Chris Carter any day: the latter was never a particularly nuanced writer at the best of times, with many of the series' greatest hours coming from Glen & Darin Morgan, Vince Gilligan…

The Avengers movie is fascinating to me. It's undeniably atrocious, yet clearly someone involved in the production had a good deal of passion for the series as there are a significant number of nods which only a dedicated fan would think to include. Its biggest problem is failing to understand how the series at its…

Then get me her non-union Mexican equivalent!

Have to wonder if this is a nod to Roger Moore rocking the tactleneck/holster combo in Live And Let Die. Either way, it's an odd choice. Maybe the big twist is that the person behind the SPECTRE revival is Baron Samedi, desperate to finish the job against Bond after being tossed in a coffin full of snakes and then…

The scene is problematic because it feels contrived that Ernesto should turn up at the precise moment when Mom needs someone to support her and nudge her children that she's actually worth listening to and independence is something to strive for, not resist. Ernesto himself is not presented as a caricature, as a…

Everybody's dead, Dave.

OH MY GOD MAKE PUPPYBOX HAPPEN RIGHT NOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU

It's remarkable how the words 'Maroon 5' can slump even the most indomitable Lily Aldridge-related boner.

Pedro Armendariz was diagnosed with inoperable cancer in his hip whilst playing Kerim Bey in From Russia With Love. Its cause is often reported to have been the result of the US government running nuclear tests in Nevada while he was shooting The Conqueror (produced by Howard Hughes) nearby in Utah - 220 people…

Somehow, even in an episode containing THAT conversation (you know the one), Fawn Moscato turns up for thirty seconds and manages to be the best thing in it. Vote Moscato!

It's a shame the show didn't follow through Adam's frustration at not being at least told that Mimi-Rose was having an abortion and instead made it an issue about him being threatened by an independent woman. It was, momentarily, nice to see a seeming acknowledgment that a male perspective on these things exists and…

Another white guy? Disgraceful! Who will sign my petition to have Indy played by a Chinese lesbian?

I'm not seeing any sources for those accusations yet.

Wow, is that ever a snotty reply based almost entirely on unsubstantiated assumptions. E.L. James has creative control as part of her contract, meaning her wishes take precedence over screenwriters hired to fill a mandate set by her and the rest of the creative team. She had demands as part of selling her work and the…

"E.L. James appears to be rather full of herself."

Am I missing something here? The first person is saying that he didn't think Selma was good enough and the implication that there was a racist rather than artistic motivation to it not getting nominated is offensive to him - which is not a remotely racist opinion by a long shot, even if it is perhaps blind to the…

So this features a pre-teen girl getting molested by a gorilla and some sort of robot sex maid? Sounds like an accurate portrayal of the lives of the repulsively affluent.

I think he's attempting re-entry, sir!

Well, arguably the biggest (of countless) problems with Heroes was how so many of its characters ended up insanely overpowered, thus leading to plotlines mostly concerned with stymying those powers rather than telling interesting stories which developed rather than hindered those involved. The first season (just…
