Past traditional Survivor Series matches, the thing I'm most excited about is Zeb. I hope he gets a real stable.

I hope the advent of the network means we get an all tag Survivor Series. I want Rollins/New Day vs Reigns/Ambrose/ ... are there no viable babyface tag team challengers right now?

A.) It's not a Feud. It's a Celebratory Survivor Series match to mark Taker's 25th year. Very likely one and done. Maybe with a singles match blow off in December, but probably not. B.) As such, Kane is the #1 person who makes sense and is appropriate.

Frankly, I think Coleman's been very good this season, portraying the general competance of a long-time companion, authority over people not in the know, actualized bantering with the Doctor as she's hit the end of her character arc with him and the witty back and forth and sufficient horror in a situation such as when she was within the Dalek shell. Not sure where the complaint is coming from. Alternatively, while I think Williams' performed valiantly with a much harder role, there were definitely moments in this episode where I didn't quite buy her performance (some of that could have been the character pretending to be various shades of herself, but I only felt it worked maybe 2/3rds of the time). Most of the time, I really did, especially in that last patch which was the best part of the episode.

It had some moments that could have been better, though I do think all of them were character driven. The last few minutes were very good. I'd call it a solid double in a season of triples.

I am reading the Kirby/Lee SHIELD stories from Strange Tales right now. Previously, I'd only read post-Steranko stuff, and it feels very different than the SHIELD I'm used. Much more Kirby-ish. The first few issues especially were fun with a sense of not knowing what was going on and the introduction of AIM has been just as much so, as, more than the super scientists they would become, they feel like the CIA of the 60s, mostly rich, aristocratic, self-styled adventurers.

I like how they tease you with silence in that video before getting on with it.

I like comics, not MMA.

Skipping menace is a primary suggestion.

Pretty soon their main TV will be cubs fan.

You have to think that if this keeps up for the rest of the season that's it for Moffat. Who is different than other shows at this stage; it almost feels like a sports franchise. Success fading? Time for a new coach.

The biggest difference between this and the prequels is that Lucas didn't give a shit about our nostalgia.

So Abrams really had no emotional attachment to Star Trek, huh?

I would be concerned if you like an older Doctor and less romance though

That small moon?

I'm calling this 5 for 5. This might be the best Doctor Who season in years.

I wish Sting had his own podcast. I think he'd be great at that actually.

I'd say happy birthday, but I think we all know you had one.

She's the world's second nicest Dixie Carter to her sycophants?

My ability to put people on ignore is my weapon.

John's hat:

It's very BENDIS-y.

I have very little use for Inferno or any of the Nuhumans (Kamala aside, but she could have gotten her powers any which way, like, you know, being a mutant), but the Royal Family is pretty awesome.

NXT watchers would suggest the last two Takeover women's matches?

I just want to see Rush vs Del Rio. Is that too much to ask for?
