I think it’s a powerful indicator of something the show’s been hinting at: for all Whittaker’s surface affability, this Doctor might just be the most closed off of all the regenerations ... the one with the hardest limit to how close anyone’s allowed to get. I suspect that’s going to become a central theme of #13's…

The last line of that movie was the worst of all.  There is no way it shouldn’t have ended with Hoffman wordlessly letting the doors close on Streep.

You Yankees don’t deserve any credit for avoiding incest. We’ve seen some of your sisters.

Honestly, the whole Star Trek franchise deserves no better.

I’d rather listen to Lincoln or Apollo 18 any day of the week, but I grant that Flood is probably the best choice as a “Young Person’s Guide to TMBG” album.

I hate to come right out and say this ... but the Marvel and Sherlock Holmes franchises make us forget just how hit-or-miss RDJ’s career has been otherwise. This might be less an unexpected downturn than a reversion to the mean.

Turn into a scary-ass, CO2-breathing monster with a mouth full of fangs? Be right back—I’m gonna start me some garbage fires.

Correct.

Yeah, because that’s setting the bar low.

If homicide were totally disallowed, we’d have to do without the glory that is Michelle Williams. Gee, think of what we might’ve missed.

I liked this two-parter, but it feels as if it took an entire season for the writers (Chibnall very much included) to get over their hang-ups about what NOT to do with a female Doctor, and start thinking about what TO do with her as a character. Whittaker’s Doctor is finally starting to take on a persona of her own,…

Okay, Gervais might be something of a hypocrite, but he’s not wrong about anyone in attendance.

“No damp little girls required.”

For gracious living.

I grew up before the internet, so you had me at “nude scene.”

If you only knew the power of Sithbux®.

Excellent points! However, this is Palpatine. The guy who conceived of the freaking Death Star. Pointless, labor-intensive, and vainglorious engineering projects are his personal brand.

Let’s just say that you don’t want ‘em in your kidneys.

Ahem: lapides.
