best news of the day!

If anything, Moffat is obviously prejudiced: against women other than headmistresses, and against anyone of color unless that color is green and scaly.

I hate your grammar but I love your thinking. Good luck with the former, and thanks for the latter.

Right, okay. I have serious disagreements with the review, and I haven't read any comments. There are nearly 800 already, and it's my birthday weekend, so I've been too busy and drunk to watch and record my thoughts on this episode. Brace yourself for some streams of consciousness and incomplete lists of bullet points…

Residuals are why actors do commercials. Every time they air, it's a few pennies in their pocket.

"i don't watch the show" with the best filk in town, c'mon

The "Don't sue us Joss" etc is copyright acknowledgment, effectively (legally, due to rules regarding evidence) copyright defense.

The whole intro was non-linear, up until the Doctor got back to the Aris+otle with Clara. Pulp Fiction storytelling for humor.

10: "Weeeelllll, maybe I will, but maybe it might be easier if you were to, oh, ask, more, ah, politely?"

Tennant and Smith never nailed the dichotomies inside the Doctor, I thought. My Doctor is Nine - or at least it was, Twelve might be my Doctor if he keeps up like this. After I started with the reboot I went back and watched what I could find (or stand) of the earlier doctors, and I really liked Two and Four.…

We didn't need another Matt Smith. I didn't want another Matt Smith. Casting Capaldi might be the best thing Moffat's ever done for the show.

Probably. The Doctor won't be able to change his mind about his soldiers rule, and Clara will set him right, but their relationship will be damaged irreparably, and they will part ways with respect and regret. He'll wander alone for a Christmas special and find a new companion immediately thereafter. Maybe not a woman…
