Him: "Where I come from, everything is like totally sepia-toned, and it's so totally like some hipster Instagram-land!"

Paige and Henry don't seem like particularly observant kids.  Their parents come home from (what they believe) was a car crash and presumably a trip to the ER.  Neither one of them asks "How did you happen to be taking a ride with Dad in the car that he drove off to work in this morning?  And why did you leave a whole

What about Carey Mulligan - nominated for "An Education" after playing one-off character Sally Sparrow in the seminal Doctor Who episode "Blink"? You can't get weirder than an intrepid girl reporter who is combating a race of evil sentient statues with the aid of a time displaced time traveller who converses with her

Congrats to you & your missus.  Suggestions for twin girls names:  "Sarah" and "Jane."  Middle names: "Liz" and "Beth."

"Hey, it’s 1981 alert":The cover of the magazine that Paige is reading has a shot of Jo (Nancy McKeon) from "the Facts of Life."

I have to disagree about "Fame."  I was one of the kids during that era when it was on TV.  I still love that movie, watched it a dozen times on HBO.  The TV show was an also-ran.  Saw maybe one or two episodes.  It was one of those syndicated shows that I was aware of, but never bothered to watch if anything else was

"As someone who is adopted and almost certainly was not breast fed, I thank you, show, for your implications."

Diane Keaton's character in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" also had an abortion. Her rationale is that she feared her child would suffer from the same genetic disposition toward severe scoliosis that she had as a child- and as her father confesses her did as well. As in "Godfather", the scene is over the top melodramatic,

Some interesting background info for this serial: the "two part historical" was revived by necessity because of the show's first spin-off.  Y'see, in the previous season one of then-brand new producer JNT's first major moves was to get rid of K-9, who he deemed gimmicky, designed to appeal to juveniles, and an

I haven't watched this serial in about 20 years.  This and it's sequel were never my favorites.  What I remember most about the story is the very weird alien Alpha Centauri, with his squeaky, effeminate voice (though always referred to as a "he.")  On one of the DVD extras, even one of the production crew members

I don't think there were billions of Time Lords.  Perhaps there were billions of Gallifreyans (though the images of Gallifrey depicted in "A Sound of Drums" show a farily desolate world with civilization confined to a few large structures), remember that not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords.  There is a whole
