On I Beg You Hold-Outs To Join Me In Watching 'Doctor Who'
Yes, it's camp and daft and frequently ludicrous.
But just as frequently it's laugh-out-loud funny and finely-written enough to get some really thinky ideas about narrative, causality and modern physics across without detracting from the fun.

On 27 TV Shows They Killed Too Early, In Order of Heartbreak
Really surprised to see "Rome" up here, and yet no "Carnivale", the show it killed.
And no "Pushing Daisies" if we're listing shows that went for more than one season? And no "Wonderfalls"? I know people who still mope over that one (and the way it was treated)...
But we all know "Firefly" should be no. 1 here. If you could find some way of turning browncoat angst into electricity, the energy crisis would be solved. Fact.
