A Town Called Mercy
BBC has a giant tormenting bug up its collective ass about American resistance to "sensible" gun control laws. Having surrendered their own firearms freedoms, and the whole place being basically London and its suburbs, they simply refuse to accept other developed nations do not share their values on this subject. And they cannot stop their incessant nagging until they see that we do. Their London-centric attitude is aggressively obnoxious. I read it every day. No amount of equally aggressive counterargument has any affect at all. They are impervious.
Their productions involving guns are ridiculous. Everyone says eventually, "Drop your gun," and they do. The sound of hollow plastic squirt gun hitting the hard surface is not bothered with overdubbing the sound of solid metal. And doesn't everyone in America alway say drop you gun? "And kick it away." All that gun dropping, and kicking. Does that even happen in real life? Isn't that dangerous? It's ridiculous gun handling I suppose they imagine from American Westerns.
There are a few really good moments in this episode.
Here's your horse, It's name's Joshua. It's from the Bible.
No it isn't.
What?
I speak Horse. His name is Susan, and he wants you to respect his life choices.
Who looks rather dashing on a horse but we all know he's a big clumsy klutz. There is another scene, a few scenes actually, where a British actor speaks American English and nails a hayseed accent sounding perfectly natural without any stereotypical exaggeration. I respect that.
This brief scene has me doubled in laughter whenever I see it. It is perfect, and counter to my general complaint. It shows BBC does have a great sense of humor.

I'm hoping when it's time to get a new companion he'll say,
"Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off"
That is a comment to a YouTube video Best of Malcolm Tucker. Peter Capaldri has the role of new Dr Who. The person who uploaded the video has no idea the traffic his new role brings to their old uploaded video.
Apparently the new Dr Who has a potty mouth and Glaswegian accent. I'm glad the wearisome Matt Smith is gone his homiletic Pecksniffian sanctimony was annoying, but then that was the script. Besides, who needs a gun when you have a sonic screwdriver that does whatever you want or a robot dog written into the script who zaps foes for you or an American come along with no such qualms or restrictions.
And nobody throws guns down like that. They say, "throw down the gun," and they do, like something that's hot, something distasteful anyway, something to get rid of, so toss, clickity clink, like the prop is made of hollow plastic, an obvious toy. There is only so much of that pedantry and issue indoctrination a viewer can take.
