  1. Mr Nobody

    Dr. Who

    Possibly. They'd have been wrong, because "Look! A woman!" isn't interesting (I mean, ~50% of the population are women). And this might be news to them, but women also have character. Even more of a shock (but only to certain types in suits and box-checkers, maybe) is that *gasp* they're also...

    It's Turkey Time

    Since it's unlikely I'll be around to post tomorrow, I'll wish everyone (well, the US lot ;)) a happy Thanksgiving now. Hope you all have a great few days (especially you, Scott; I know it's going to be rough, but...well, enjoy it where and as much as you can. I wish you and yours all the best).

    The Walking Dead ***please use SPOILER tags***

    Ah. Cheers, arista. That clears that up. (I really need to pay a bit more attention.)

    Not bad for the one lifetime.

    THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE -- Netflix

    I thought it was a great series. Well done to all concerned.
  6. Mr Nobody

    Dr. Who

    Re: knowledge of alien species, I can't remember if it was always the case, but certainly in recent times (i.e. post-2005) the Doctor has displayed an encyclopaedic level of knowledge of who/what they are, their history and culture, and so on. Then again I suppose that kind of knowledge, or lack...

    Dr. Who

    Re: Chibnall as show runner. Tbh I'm not at all sure of the process. It does seem to be a case of 'currently writing for the show? In you go, then'. Russell T Davies got the nod to get everything rolling because he was known to be a fan, was one of those involved in keeping DW going unofficially...

    I know what you mean.

    Yes. :)

    What Are You Reading? Part Deux

    I agree. I had looked forward to seeing the movie after reading the book, but as you say, they effectively just took the title. I know it wouldn't have been the easiest book to film, given the way it was structured, but in that case why not simply leave it alone? There are hundreds of books out...

    The Walking Dead ***please use SPOILER tags***

    Yep, it was a good 'un.

    Dr. Who

    From what I can remember, I thought The Hungry Earth was a little bit slow to begin with, while Cold Blood ended up feeling a little too rushed. There was no problem with the story as such, but the pacing felt off. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is one I don't remember at all, though I must have seen...

    Idris Elba voted People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2018

    I agree to a point, however try saying that as a man and the response would be...interesting. With that in mind, then, and in the interests of equality, my position is more in line with what kelliblue said above, in the sense that if appreciating a woman's looks (and body) is always...

    Dr. Who

    Yes, unfortunately Chibnall seems to be the weak link, at least in terms of writing. Then again I'm not entirely surprised. Looking back over his past work, his previous scripts for DW included some of the weakest. In fact his reputation only really seems to have taken off because of Broadchurch...

    Dr. Who

    Have to say the latest ep was pretty weak, and IMO certainly the worst one so far. I was actually bored by it, and kept checking the clock to see how long was left before it was halfway through. I couldn't even find any redeeming factors in the performances. JW didn't mention any confusion...

    The Walking Dead ***please use SPOILER tags***

    I've really enjoyed this season so far. The format is working again and there's a renewed sense of danger from the walkers, who for the past couple of seasons had been peripheral and their appearance mere nods to the roots of the show. And I guess all the while ratings continue to be above those...

    The good doctor

    It is odd that none of the best/biggest US shows seem to come out of the old stables anymore. OK, the market has changed (again, since there was a sizeable shift back when cable operators started finding and flexing their muscles), but IIRC the mainstream networks also have restrictions placed...

    2018 SKMB October Horror Movie Marathon!

    Dana Jean: Have at 'em. You're welcome. Neesy: It's been a long time since I saw that. Agree entirely that Neeson's OTT performance was appropriate for the role and type of film. There were some funny bits, too.
