As am I! I'll be sure to play along with you guys via Netflix, but I would like to suggest something for the future. As someone who's not really a Trekkie but looking forward to learning more about the series, I'd love it if the two of you went as in-depth in the background of the series as you did with Doctor Who. I'm sure a lot of listeners who've watched TOS know a lot about the behind the scenes stuff, but folks like me who're coming into the show new really enjoy hearing whatever details can be shared, so please don't hold anything when it comes to background info!

Yes! New episode of HAA! Take that work shift boredom! I hope it's not too late to e-mail in for the Bale episode. I'm still fighting off a chronic case of lazyness and shiftlessness. *HOURS LATER* Oh...it is too late. Blast it.

Sean Howe's Untold Story of Marvel Comics is a MUST-READ for comic fans

I know right?

Don Newton has to be the most universally underrated major Batman artist in the character's history. He drew the first appearance of Jason Todd (pre-crisis) and the special 'Tec #500 issue which included every major Batman character at the time, from Alfred's daughter Julia to villains like Signalman and the Spook.

This may be my favorite Ree-lief yet because of all the snide remarks. Loved the rundown for the Bay Turtles movie and the line "All your favorite X-Men actors return...as well as Hallie Berry!"

AWESOME. I totally co-sign on Dan's assesment of Gil Kane, especially the nostrails sentiment. Have either of you been interested in getting the Legends of the Dark Knight: Jim Aparo collection that recently came out? It's full of his Brave/Bold work. THE LOTDK collections have been covering several noted Bronze Age Batman artists, including Alan Davis, Gene Colan and Don Newton. It's fantastic.

The Prestige could be a good one because of...well, I don't want to spoil the ending but it's a great venue to see how he acts opposite certain characters in certain situations. For the purposes of the show, I think that would be a great choice. American Psycho's a must though. It's the one major performance of his that the world always goes back to.

Really liking it. It looks slick. It's a nice changeover from Smith's kinda of...for a lack of a better phrase, "hipster-ish" look in that this older Doctor doesn't need an older fashion sense.

I think it's funny that when the Moffatt era in the podcast started you guys sort of scoffed at the notion of him being sexist, yet in practically every episode since you've noted how it's become more and more understandable to think that he is. Not denegrating you guys or anything, but it's interesting to consider both the terms and evidence for or against. I myself hesitate to label him a "sexist" or "mysogynist" as I think there's enough evidence to the contrary to stave off those accusations...BUT so many people have cited reasons why he might be according to certain interpretations of the terms that I'm close to changing my mind. Just today, this article was written which is basically a laundry list for his quotes about certain things pertaining to women in both DW and Sherlock. http://www.dailydot.com/opinion/steven-moffat-sexism-sherlock-doctor-who/

I now want an episode of Earth-2 with Dan and Mike discussing Lost Girls.

Season 9 confirmed for 2015????? http://www.cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/8879-doctor-who-series-9-confirmed-for-2015

http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/12/the-captain-kirk-problem-how-em-doctor-who-em-betrayed-matt-smith/282690/ Thoughts on this?

Good point, I would agree with that. Not to say that the complaints may not be valid, but it's almost as though some people are trying to outthink Moffat. This little girl's summation of the episode makes me like it a bit more.

This is the first regen I've seen after watching the Doctor's run from beginning to end as it was happening in real time. Personally I feel very melancholic, and it still hasn't fully set in yet. Whenever thinking back to that last scene, my brain can't reconcile the great writing with the heavy emotion. DAMN YOU INTERNET AGE FICTION!

Fair point. It's more of a personal hang up than a genuine writing problem. Looks like Moffat really agrees with Dan in how they both disagree with Ten's/RTD's approach to regeneration.

Was a bit iffy on it myself. On the plus side I really like Clara in this. I felt bad for her throughout and was rooting for her to get back to Smith each time. The last five minutes were great.

Dan beat me for the suggestion of Sam Jackson. Switching to another Avenger, mebbe Chris Evans? He was known primarily for comedy but has since done more serious roles.

The only other Foster film I've seen was Nell. I figured Taxi Driver would be denied as a DeNiro film, so I reached into the deep recesses of my mind and remembered that I saw Nell about ten-ish years ago.

http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/what-if-eccleston-had-returned-for-50th-56889.htm I like his reasoning for making up a new Doctor. Once he broke it down, it all made sense on how the War Doctor wouldn't be either 8 nor 9.

I dunno if I agree with Dan that this wasn't a good season. It's certainly uneven, not being as consistent as the previous season. I the second half I like quite a bit. "A Good Man Goes to War", "Let's Kill Hitler", "The Girl Who Waited", "The God Complex" were episodes that really sold me on Matt Smith, as I wasn't fully warmed up to him throughout season 5. I agree that lesser episodes were interspersed throughout, but I dunno if they weighed the season down as heavily as let's say season 3.

Holy crap man, I LOVED this show! What a terrific idea, and the Brothers Wilson is a podcasting dream team! Cannot wait until the next one! Bravo gents! My favorite line was when Pandy said "It's not really an argument, it's more one-sided. It's homophobic. Case in point: the film." That cracked me up
