So why wasn’t the trailer better?

Didn’t we see Voq’s corpse in the room with all the bodies stacked on top of each other? He was on top when they threw in Tyler’s torturer. And that reminds me, would Tyler have all those flashback memories of torture if he was Voq?

I stopped watching late in season 2 because I grew tired of the “number of the week”. I enjoyed the long arc plot, but hated the procedural elements which seemed to take up 90% of the showtime. Did this ever change? From the description above it sounds like the procedural is still more than half of the show.

The Thermians believe they finally understand the concept of “fick-shun” and teleport Earth’s best scientists onto an actual working ship loaded with Big Brother style cameras. They want to make new “historical documents”.

He’s like a cool older brother on tap for today’s mid-puberty teens.

The bigger it is, the longer you can wait to wash it out.

I call BS. The potion glowed in the dark. Who would paint over that?

Aspartame quite literally ruined my life. In my late 20s, shortly after the introduction of aspartame to diet soda, I suddenly started having grand mal seizures. Over the next decade, between the seizures and the problems caused by the medications I lost my job, eventually my marriage ended, I even lost my driver’s

I always thought Brits called tangerines "satsumas". Are they something different?

Permutations of 2 switches.

In a world...

Although there are exceptions, when I find myself dithering about a choice its usually the cue for me that I really don't need whatever it is I'm dithering over and choose "none of the above".

Oddly, cordless is better for those doing frequent work. Corded is better for those only doing occasional work. I bought in heavily to cordless when I got my new house, only to have all of them die on me within the first couple of years. You have to use cordless tools to keep them working. I replaced them all with the

Flutterbys instead of butterflies.

I don't know why this question popped into my head last week, but this seems like as relevant place as any to post it: if you ate a bunch of beans and glued your backdoor shut, would you explode?

I have to wonder what the advantage is to the Nation estate to have this arrangement? I mean, what would the estate do with the rights if they were deny their use with Doctor Who?
