Tsk, tsk. You should know by now only to be surprised when a pairing doesn't exist. It's rule 34. Or 36. I always get the two mixed up, but in this case, I think they both apply.

Being a kid's show doesn't stop Avatar from being really complex and awesome, and that gets discussed to death, so why not Who. Actually, thinking of the whole "it's a children's show" argument, I'm not sure that it's entirely accurate- surely it's more of a family show than a children's show…at least as we imagine…

I think the Peter Pan themes are actually pretty strong in the Moffat seasons…and something of a deconstruction of them, too. Amy gradually losing the idealized image of the Doctor and the life he leads, the Doctor being forced to acknowledge the destruction he wreaks across the lives of his companions and the people…

I love Vincent and the Doctor despite myself. It is so beautifully done, the emotional cues and the actual story…if just not for that awful monster. If the episode could have just deleted the monster all together somehow, it would have been one of the best.

Even the whole paving stone thing? Eugh. That should have never been played for humor. But as nightmare fuel, it'd have been awesome.

The first half worked pretty well, but the second part was such a mess. Fairly typical for RTD, considering.

Don't forget "Fear Her." (Or maybe that should be 'please god, why can't I forget 'fear her'??)

It was one of my favorite episodes of television until Fringe came along with "White Tulip" and "Peter"

A Good Man Goes to War will always be OK in my book because of the opening scene with Rory saying, "would you like me to repeat the question?" in full Roman get up as all the cyberships behind him blow up.

And I hated how much worse it made the already horrific "happy ending" of Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead.

I agree with this. There were things that I kind of side-eyed, but no more so than usual. I rolled by eyes at her attempts to seduce the Doctor, I appreciated that she wasn't lovesick- she just wanted to jump his bones, and was pretty direct about it. And I really kind of liked her story as one about a young woman…

Season 5 is- overall- one of my favorite seasons of television. It dragged in a few places, but god, did it come together well. The last two episodes are just sheer joy.

I'd agree, if Moffat had taken over sooner. By the time the season with Catherine Tate was over, I really felt completely burned by the show. All the goodwill I'd had was gone. I hated the Doctor, and I was so sick to death of the usual RTD excesses that it was nearly a year after Eleven's first season before I could…

I love Tennant as an actor as well, and I loved the 10th Doctor at first, but he turned into an utter asshole by the end…and for most of the run, it seemed it was like: the Doctor does this assholeish thing, but it's okay, because he's the doctor, and therefore it is right and good.

Only if the showrunners have been reading a lot of the fan fic. (So….like fifty/fifty odds?)

There's an argument to be made for euthanasia for television shows…letting them go out with dignity has got to be better than the ugly, endless slog.

Trolling dead threads, eh?

You might actually be thinking of this show, just a bit fuzzily- they did have those shapeshifters that had been sleeper agents for so long that they basically became the people they were imitating.

Oh, anyone who has been watching the show for a few seasons knows… probably more than they want to, thanks to Becky, the Wincesting Sam!Girl.

I thought the wrath came from the cup that was chosen…poorly.
