It’s not fair what happened to Barb, but she may not be the hero internet fandom wants to make her out to be.
This is the first time since “The Five Doctors” back in 1983 that my first viewing of a Doctor Who episode took place in a […]
Even though “Hell Bent” is as unrepentantly sci-fi and literal as “Heaven Sent” is allegorical and rich with subtext, even though it’s as chaotic and […]
I’m tentatively planning, in good company with a whole bunch of other people, I’m sure, to watch the first six Star Wars movies in Machete […]
