    Arrow TV Show

    I wouldn't be surprised to find that Oliver was part of a "most dangerous game" type of scenario. Wasn't Deathstroke's mask on that island? He's suppsoed to become a chief anatagonist. I could see Slade Wilson using an island as a human game preserve. As for the show on the whole, I was hoping...

    So, who wants to talk about new Doctor Who (spoilers likely)

    Well, apparently somebody started looking at it real hard as soon as it arrived at the hotel, because even when the characters came onto the roof and were oblivious to it, it just stood there like a dope. Also, note that our obligatory bald-headed, repugnant villain was able to damage one of...

    Well, if you have crossbows or muskets, you can have Zorro-esque swashbuckling. With revolvers...BANG! You're dead!

    That sounds yummy, Rune.

    Revolution

    Well, that seems a neither-here-nor-there response, as it doesn't actually speak to the context of the remark. All shows are not held to this standard. Nobody picks apart Castle or Chuck to this degree, but the setting seemingly make it difficult to process as a swashbuckling adventure rather...

    Green Lantern: The Animated Series

    I wonder what kind of car he'll get to drive around space in?

    Revolution

    Interesting how much nitpicking this show is being subjected to. Its creators have stated that they intent this to be a series with "swashbuckling" action, not details like potable water or firearm minutae. They chose the wrong genre for that. Not saying it's an awesome show or anything, but...

    Also inside the sheriff's office.

    So, who wants to talk about new Doctor Who (spoilers likely)

    ??? The whole "mirror" element was brought up. The Doctors' outrage was specifically fueld by his own self-loathing.

    Backed it. Thanks.

    Well, it's not very good plastic. In practical terms, there should be more clothes with holes and rips. Then again, you'd see guys with beards far outnumber guys without them, and you'd see some women sporting them as well. But when it comes to post-acopalyptic America and deserted islands and...

    GLEE Season 4 Premiere: The New Rachel

    Same thing happened here a couple weeks ago. Just woke up one morning and started hearing what their promos insisted were today's hottest hits. I actually want to discover new music, since I'm tired of shuffling the same couple-thousand mp3's over and over, but the stuff I'm hearing just doesn't...

    Favorite Doctor from Doctor Who

    Don't think I've ever watched any of the third Doctor episodes, despite their Netflix availability. The idea of the Doctor being inserted into the role of earthbound geriatric secret agent doesn't sit right.

    GLEE Season 4 Premiere: The New Rachel

    Funny how they had a self-deprecating attitude towards themselves for how they featured so many old songs from the last century, because now that they're emphasizing more modern songs, it becomes evident that most of it's not very good. They want to belt out passionate power ballads, but music...

    Favorite Doctor from Doctor Who

    I think Sylvester McCoy is highly underrated. He's the perfect doctor IMO: one part tweedy noble laurieate, one part shabby vagabond. I think today's doctors--Tenant and Smith--with their over-the-top mania are taking the path of least resistance. I also love that episode "Silver Nemesis" that...

    So, who wants to talk about new Doctor Who (spoilers likely)

    Should you ever write for Doctor Who, remember this one simple tip: if you want the Doctor to do something that seems utterly contrived, have him start to act all giddy and frenetic. If you can get him to start grinning while spouting glib non sequitors, then the audience will accept what...

    Terrible pacing pretty much ruins what should have been a real whopper. Worst time-travel, dinosaur, giant mech, Egyptian queen TV show episode evar.

    So, who wants to talk about new Doctor Who (spoilers likely)

    Personally, I think the fact that the Daleks have been around a long time means that it's okay for them to undergo some cosmetic changes that make them look a little less like a production for a high-school drama club. They're a little more polished now, but the basic rubbish design is still at...

    So, who wants to talk about new Doctor Who (spoilers likely)

    Amy, Martha, Donna, and Rose seem like minor variations on the same companion. Pert, sassy, and full of chutzpah one minute, then scared and vulnerable the next. That's the spirit of the show now and I'm kind of desensitized to it, mercifully. The twist with Oswin seemed heavily telegraphed...
