Yeah, every analysis of the RCMP I've ever seen seems to agree that the elimination of their local policing responsibilities has got to be the first priority.
Willson, a LaSalle, Ont. native who played eight seasons as a tight end in the NFL, performed sideline analysis during Friday night’s game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Argonauts. The 35-year-old later took to social media to post a long, critical note that has since garnered almost 300,000 views.
In the message, Willson called the game “hot garbage,” citing the high number of penalties and quarterback sneaks, Saskatchewan being awarded a point after missing a 33-yard field goal, Toronto’s high number of late-game check-down passes, an overall lack of deep throws, and the Argonauts being short a man on Mario Alford’s last-minute 99-yard return touchdown. He also accused the league itself and members of the media of telling “bold face lies” in order to “protect the game.”
Hell of an analyst y'all found, TSN.
Yeah, for quite a long time - I would guess at least eight months of lane closures while they took down the barriers.
Huh, it's apparently a Canadian thing. I didn't even realize.
Quite honestly, it's not a very common term here, either. One of those things that I see in print, but never hear people say out loud.
the story sacrifices all its complexity by making the Gelth generic evil monsters.
Oh, good call!
I didn’t really like the cgi, even considering it’s a couple decades old.
I was originally going to comment on how much I liked it...but then the humanoid Gelth showed up, and looked pretty awful.
But I did like the earlier, wispy stuff, which reminded me of old-school hand-drawn animation.
This one is pretty average. Not great, not bad?
It serves to establish the time travel rules for new viewers - the past can be changed! Just because you know what 2005 looks like, you shouldn't assume it will look like that next time you visit.
The Doctor's edginess continues, turning on a dime to snap at Charles Dickens (and eventually turning back to apologize), and making it clear that he's perfectly willing to let the Gelth inhabit dead humans - it's like recycling!
I don't think the Gelth themselves hold together very well. They're stated to be gaseous, but they act more like stereotypical "non-corporeal" life forms for the most part. But the climax hinges on them being "drawn out" by the gas from the gaslights, so I guess they're attuned to that specific mixture, rather than a standard nitrogen/oxygen mix? Not really the sort of thing we should dwell on.
Of course, this episode also establishes the Cardiff rifts, and introduces us to Eve Myles, which will be important soon-ish.
It's modern fandom, so...probably.

The Bombers took control early, and never really relinquished it. The Lions defense tightened up in the second half and kept them in it, but their offense had a pretty rough go of it.
And hey, we got to see a Big Man Touchdown!
Where'd you find it?
What do you mean, you've seen this? It's brand new...
