Jekyll was actually Steven Moffat's most consistent series - although Coupling was ok until some of the original cast left. The last episode was a mess, but it was imho far more promising than Sherlock.

Batman & Robin is a gorgeous movie. I really, really, really, really, REALLY like it.

Batman & Robin is a gorgeous movie. I really, really, really, really, REALLY like it. It is visually striking, for all its many, many failings! And Uma is a bit of a Vroomer...

Yeah the "Davros should have stayed dead" thing is such a tired old fan trope. He's a great character so no he shouldn't. One of the few things Big Finish got right in the old days was not to have Davros appear against every incarnation of the Doctor. Instead the Malloy version is often paired with Six and in those stories were he's allowed to work without the Daleks, he functions very well as a villain. Davros, I' Davros and Juggernauts being the best examples. Even his early outing with the Imperial Daleks in the Curse of Davros is pretty good. The problem with Davros is that most writers try to tie in the true daleks and not only is that idea bone dry by this point, it dose neither side any favors. Both lose out by the others presence. Part of the reason Revelation works so well is that the Necros Daleks are just goons to do Davros' bidding, letting him take centre stage. Hell I'd be open to Davros abandoning the Daleks all together and try to create some other type of super weapons to fulfil his ambitions, ala Juggernauts.

Based solely on what I've seen of him in the show, I think Ncuti is a worse actor than Jodie. He might prove me wrong and settle into the role, but if for some reason season one didn't air and the Giggle and Church were the only episodes he was in I'd probably rate him as my least favourite next to Eccleston. Nothing against the guy personally and he isn't entirely to blame. He never really had a chance with RTD's total misunderstanding of the character.

I like Jaws 3 more than the original. I respect the original as a blockbuster, but I kind of like the B grade monster movie of the week feel of the third more. 3 has Lea Thompson as well.

Ironically, despite being a gay man Joel Schumacher is probably the best at bringing out the peak sexiness of an actress through his visual style. He shoots them with so much grace. There's a slow shot of Nicole Kidman lying in bed in Forever which is beautifully shot as well. It's always sexy, but never in a trashy way.

At least with Forever and Batman & Robin the sense of fun feels genuine, indeed Schumacher insisted on it. He never denied B+R had gone a bit wrong, nor the screenwriter or Clooney (who didn't just apologise for the film but personally refunded anyone he met who'd seen it!) He even said sorry to Adam West...

Season 22 is better than the entire Davison era. Is that because Nicola's breasts fill up half the screen? I'm surprised anyone could see the violent scenes going on behind her to complain about them! 🤣

I like RoboCop 2 more than any of the Terminator sequels. To be fair that isn't unpopular for any film past 2 haha. I guess my unpopular opinion for the day would be that I quite like Terminator 3 and saw it as a good end to the trilogy. In fact I'll go as far as to say that T2 is overrated by fandom and T3 is underrated. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying T3 is better than T2. It's just that I don't think T2 is a tenth as good as the first film. That truly is one of the best sci fi/horror films ever made. Everything about it is perfect. T2 however I think drags a little bit and has some cringey moments like Sarah's "you don't know what it's like to have life growing inside you" which is honestly "I'm having a woman's period" type dialogue. Still a great sequel, but I get fed up of people acting like there is as big a gulf in quality between T1 and T2 as there is between Star Trek 1 and Wrath of Khan and that T3 utterly disgraced the series. Not true in my opinion I'd say T1 is one of the absolute best films ever made, T2 is a really good sequel that does carry the story on in an interesting way, by showing us John cope with it and how Sarah has changed. T3 meanwhile is weaker than 2, because by that stage we have seen this idea play out twice, it's not when the franchise or even Arnie himself are at their absolute peak, so yeah it's never going to match the events that the first two were, but it brings the saga to a close and has an ending that is both horrifying, yet somewhat optimistic for the future as we do know humanity wins and John's attempts to change history by averting the conflict failing because you can't fight destiny mean that Skynet can never win either. Everything after 3, yeah that's absolute bollocks. There clearly was nowhere to go. It's funny because all three films were meant to be the start of a trilogy and as someone pointed out there is now a trilogy of failed starts to a trilogy of films in the Terminator series. (That said though the Sarah Connor Chronicles was excellent. LOVE Lena Headey, she is so gorgeous and talented and just amazing, and Summer Glau was actually a good replacement for Arnie as it did bring a new dynamic to the story.)

What giant gulf in quality between The Motion Picture and the Wrath of Khan? I basically see Terminator 3 as what Terminator 2 should've been, but executed in a watered down way. Terminator 3 threw out all the nonsensical BS about changing history and committed to having Judgment Day play out. In an ideal world, you'd have T1 > the story of T3 told by James Cameron > post-apocalyptic movie maybe using some ideas from Salvation. That's it. That's the trilogy.

I like Grace Holloway more than every NuWho companion.
Paul McGann nailed the role better in forty five minutes than Eccleston did in thirteen episodes.
The TV Movie is in the top half of stories ever made.

I've never seen the earlier stuff. Burrunjor is probably familiar with the era I saw bits and pieces of with the likes of Helen Flanagan, Alison King and Michelle Keegan in it. It's actually better than most other British soaps.
