This series of Doctor Who is very very bad. There's a really weird dissonance between the old school stern tone of how the Doctor is being played and Moffat taking the programme towards the children's TV/soap opera ends of the spectrum.

Also the scripts have all been poo poo.

I haven't yet watched this latest episode, but I'm really enjoying this season. These are the first episodes I've ever watched as they air, and, for some reason, when I marathon to catch up to a show, I tend to not like the new episodes as the air. Probably because the pace changes for obvious reasons. But these have really got me on board. I like the new sort of crazy, grumpy Uncle thing they've got going for the Doctor. And Clara is interesting for the first time in her entire run. The only script I was wild about was the first 30 or so minutes of the season premiere. But it settled into something pretty great after that. And Capaldi seems to still be honing in on exactly who is Doctor is, but the result is I like him more each episode.

Anyway, Doctor Who is probably the most subjective TV show I've ever watched, because it's so out there and so inconsistent, so no opinion is really wrong. I've hated pretty large stretches of it. But I'm on board for this season so far.

That's the problem, I like the new Doctor. I think the RTD-esque CBBC meets Eastenders drivel that I do not like. Everything wrong with this series can be summed up with the sentence "Clara is a time-stalker in love *uguuuu*, and the Doctor shot a spaceship with Robin Hood's golden arrow."

Hello, my name is Goony McGoonerson, and, as a upstanding feminist and progressive poster at Something Awful dot com, I would like to submit my official objection to Doctor Who's Clara Oswald character for failing to live up to my totally not arbitrary and unrealistic standards for Perfect Female Protagonist. Please note that while I throw the term 'misogyny' around constantly, I am allowed to insult and belittle female characters for exhibiting normal feminine traits and interests because, as I said, I'm a feminist and that's what all good feminists do.

I really enjoyed Red Band Society but nobody wants to see "the breakfast club" with dying kids so it will be cancelled.

I found "How to get away with murder" to be pretty boring and Gotham was alright.

I haven't watched Forever or Blackish yet though.

I enjoyed Scorpion but it's a little silly.

The only pilot I've really liked so far was How to Get Away With Murder. It's set at a law school, where the professor (Viola Davis) is a practicing defense attorney, and unlike most defense attorney shows, the client is pretty clearly guilty. The opening five minutes of the pilot has four students panicking because they've just murdered someone, and it flashes back three months, then goes back and forth all episode.
Oh yeah I forgot about this too. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm currently on the Lost Finale, I haven't watched it yet. This is it. This is the final episode, the sort of make it or break it deal that everyone here has argued about for the last four years.

Anybody up for joining me in the IRC tomorrow, Tuesday September 30th at 9 pm EST, for a live watch/rewatch of the :lost: finale? I think it might be a lot of fun.

After the first season I thought an American remake of Utopia would be completely pointless, but after the sorta repetitive but still good second season (aside from the actually very good and fresh first episode) I can see the room for improvement and exploring the premise in different ways in a longer story.

I blitzed my way through all 10 episodes of Transparent. What a fantastic series. I hope it gets the acclaim and attention it deserves. Jeffrey Tambor better win an Emmy for his performance as the most believable transgender woman in TV yet. Most believable transgender woman going through a transition, no less, which is the remarkable part. It's treated with the utmost respect. Gaby Hoffmann probably deserves an Emmy too. I hope Transparent becomes a huge hit akin to other outside-the-box programming like Orange is the New Black. Now go watch it. Everyone. All of you.
