Having debuted at the Camden Fringe last summer, ‘Something Bad’ is hitting Cornwall at the Performance Centre on the 17th and 18th...

Just FYI Khan was supposed to be from northern India and yet he was played by Ricardo Mantelban who spoke with a Latino accent so it’s not like they got his race right the first time either (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

If you really, really love Moffat a lot you might...
The man cannot showrun. He can write single episodes beautifully. He can create minor characters with really interesting, insular story lines. He can carve mini-arcs that are clever and charming. But he cannot maintain it for an entire series. He can barely hold it up for a two-parter. Moffat has the writer’s equivalent of erectile dysfunction, and I’m so incredibly bored of holding up...

you walk through the door after a long day at work. your feet hurt, you’re sweating, and you smell something amazing. could it be that dinner is waiting? your mouth waters. it’s a tantalising scent. truly delicious. you know it would hit the spot in just the right way. it’s your dream food, you’ve been craving it for hours. the thought of it has got you through work.

it is the 50th anniversary. clara asks the doctor why he chose the name “the doctor”.
john hurt appears out of nowhere and says “the wand chooses the wizard, mr. potter. it’s not always clear why” and turns into the great dragon and flies away
the screen turns black
that’s the episode

Surely it makes far more sense in The Monk that The Great Mogul isn’t the Wandering Jew, as suggested by the Cardinal, but Cain? The Wandering Jew mythos is derivative of the curse/mark of Cain, and with the persistant themes of violence perpetrated by and on families, surely the Mogul being Cain makes far more sense? Obviously there’s the appeal of the gothic grotesque in the whole...

Your god is Old. He killed children in Egypt, murdered lovers in the night, swept sinners dead in a righteous wave. He told Eve she would die if she ate the apple, knowing that he had already planted the seed of the tree of Knowledge inside her. He lied. He stole. He coveted. Just because you create something, doesn’t make it yours.

my biggest downfall in my academic study is my tendency to favour (or only really see or appreciate) criticism with a narrative, that adds or extends the narrative of the text, makes it richer, makes it more. i tend to fall away from more complicated philosophical arguments, leaning towards points that make moments richer. in essence, i’m trying to pass off tumblr meta as academic criticism....

Sidenote—out of curiosity, if tumblr user liberace-egalite-fraternite and I were to put together a ‘zine on NBC’s Hannibal, would anyone be interested in reading it/contributing to it?
I replied with a yes but I need to reblog with a yes as well so that my response is DOUBLE YES.

when a 35-year-old man interrupts a teenage girl in a room filled with hundreds of people and accuses her of “ruining it for everyone,” that is called bullying.
hdkrock asked: To be fair, he's a married man and it's been pretty heavily confirmed his character is into women. There's no reason for asinine questions on a fanfic level to be asked when there are much more important questions that people can be asking. You're just wasting time by allowing those questions. And if you say "does that mean all stupid questions should be banned at...
watchthelightfade said: he’s allowed to be uncomfortable???
WHY does that make him uncomfortable? How is it different from all the ‘YOU AND YOUR COSTAR WOULD BE HOT TOGETHER’ narratives? What does this say about the heteronormative state of media and how we’re meant to regard that as acceptable when a leading man says ‘the gay makes me uncomfortable’ and we all go...

Jensen gets asked the same/similar questions all the time. ‘What’s something funny that’s happened on set? How long will the show run? Will you direct another episode? What’s your favourite episode/colour/fruit/variety of postage stamp?’ etc

Domestic service was viewed as a national service, as kitchens were the locus of many efforts to ensure the continued survival of the populous. With resources increasingly slim throughout the war, propaganda was directed towards the domestic habits of homemakers. “FOR GUNPOWDER – SAVE WASTE FATS – RUSH THEM TO YOUR MEAT DEALER”. “BUY FRESH FISH – SAVE THE MEAT FOR OUR SOLDIERS AND ALLIES”. There...
