Britta spitting the chewed up warning into the trash instead of at Chang's feet was a great touch, What kind of activist are you really if you're not willing to risk a littering ticket?

"I liked Erin’s cold coffee moment. She didn’t actually think he shouldwant cold coffee: She was simply making sure he got exactly what he wanted, which meant ignoring her own logic (which one feels she would likely doubt) and sticking to his exact words. It’s maybe a bit silly, but it’s not stupid, which is a better

I don't think anybody told Garret that there wasn't really a crisis. The longer it went on the more frantic he got. You just know he spit all over the lens.

In theory, a Jeff-Annie hookup would be creepy, given the gaps in their ages and experience. But somehow when that theory is brought to life in Joel McHale and Alison Brie, it just doesn't look as creepy as it sounds on paper. But that's probably because, as great as she is in the role, Alison Brie just does not look

I really liked Adam going to bat for Alex. But the whole time he was basically begging that kid's parents not to press charges, I really wanted him to bitch them out for having a house full of drunken high school kids. But maybe the way he finally did bring the subject up was better. He was kinda sly about it,

I thought Haddie's hair looked like it's on its way back to human.

I didn't see it solely as a joke, although that was certainly part of it. Since the phrase tired of waiting is in there it could be a message to the Doctor that Amy's patience is wearing thin on the Melody situation. I kinda hope it was since Amy and Rory's reaction to losing their daughter - or almost lack thereof -

Me too. And I'm still not convinced she wasn't making it up.

My latest half-baked theory is the Doctor spent those 200 years checking up on the people he'd encountered in his travels, not necessarily all of whom were companions. Almost like he was taking an inventory of the good he's done versus the damage he caused. When he showed up on Craig's doorstep he didn't really seem

In my head, your mash up is blasting from the speakers in the Mystery Machine.

You're a pizza burn on the roof of the world's mouth.

If I had to guess, I'd say he'd been working at the store about 12 hours tops. Sophie was still away for the weekend so i don't think any significant amount of time had passed. It's a nice callback to The Lodger when the Doctor became the star of Craig's office in about half a day.

Right, thanks. How could I have forgotten the fez? Fezzes are cool.

I liked that the excess sulphur emissions tipped the Doctor off to Craig not being alone. What can I say, farts are funny. Yes, I'm 7.

It was blue right before the Cyberman knocked the Doctor out.

I think you could be on to something. I'm thinking that the name of the perfume and the tag line are Amy's way of trying to catch the Doctor's attention like he was waving at Amy and Rory in history books and Marx brothers movies. Or was it the Three Stooges?

I'm really hoping that that recurring theme is going to wrap itself up satisfyingly in the finale. I've been growing more and more annoyed with the Amy-Rory-Melody situation as the season has gone on, and I've been reserving judgement until the end since I've come to trust Moffat. I just can't see how they —

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a few more to see what they could do with it. This could be entirely in my head, but I felt like the guys were really nervous and it came across as kind of frantic and trying too hard. They've been doing the podcast long enough that even when they're being total fanboys about something

I did. And as much as I like the podcast and LOVE Matt Smith and Craig Ferguson, it just didn't work for me on TV.

Somebody else mentioned the bass line in Cannonball, which got me thinking about Soul Coughing's Super Bon Bon. I don't think I ever heard it on a top 40 station, but the modern rock station where I grew up played it constantly. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was the top song on their 1996 countdown. I still love that
