keep punching joe posted:Did Toxx ever get round to watching Adventure in Space and Time, and if so, can someone link me to the review? Craptacular! posted:I always thought he should watch it just because he seems to be a fan of TV production in general. The fact that it has any relevance at all to a show still being made that you're watching is simply sweeter.

I thought Captain America was the character specifically devised to punch Hitler? Than again, most all of the Golden Age superheroes were devised to punch Hitler. Jerusalem posted:I'm so glad to see LtW acknowledge just how loving creepy Grant comes across as. Especially in the way he has the Ghost leave Lucy on the rooftop with the Winter Shoal despite easily being able to defeat them, just so he can return to save the day and impress her as Grant. The fact they grew up together and are ostensibly the same age makes him calling her Mrs. Lombard really creepy too. Anyone think Grant's name came from Grant Morrison? He did write All-Star Superman, after all - although if they were aware of that book enough to make it a reference, you'd think they could have pulled off a better Superman. Escobarbarian posted:From a "criticising the review" standpoint I gotta say there's far too much discussion of Grant and superheroes in general and too little about the actual episode. Which I guess presents a point, while obviously the recaps are long gone, should the review still generally make sense to someone who hasn't seen the episode? I dunno what the answer is (obviously this thread is mainly for fans of the show, which is an argument against it) but I know as someone who hasn't seen the episode all this review tells me about it is "there's a guy called Grant who is a superhero and also parts of the episode revolve around the Doctor". Is there a villain? Were they good or bad? What was the Doctor doing in his half? Was it good or bad? Who is this guy Capaldi apparently leaves to die? etc E: And Jerusalem just rendered my post redundant. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 8, 2017 |

Jerusalem posted:Which, as much as I'm looking forward to the new Doctor, is one of the reasons I wish he was sticking around. He finally seems to have settled firmly into the role in this season and I can only imagine his confidence/ease in the performance increasing with each new season he would have had afterwards. Big Finish is probably already waiting in the wings for him.

I think Toxx makes a solid case for bringing Charlie Brooker onto the DW writing staff.
