No, but according to The Enemy of the World, all the world zones were ruled by a World President in 2018. It seems unlikely that that much could change between now and then but now we know that at least that specific position is something that can apparently just pop up all of the sudden.

I know time could have been written many times over by now, but I've been hoping they'll keep The Enemy of the World as something that "happened" allowing for a 2018 under Salamander. The existence of the President of Earth position in this episode has gotten my hopes up a bit, though then again the Valeyard was…

That could have been her Zygon double.

I just wish he would have addressed Susan's status in any way at all. The Time War took out Gallifrey; why would that affect Susan? Even if they decided to ignore the audio dramas and have her back on Gallifrey for some reason, I'd at least want a hint as to why the Doctor wouldn't take her away with him again.

If you have 13 lives and you can turn into a different sex in each of those lives I really think use of gender in Time Lord society is a pretty different thing from use of gender in human society. Also keep in mind we're hearing this stuff translated by the TARDIS into closest equivalent English words; the connotation…

This episode completely confirms my suspicions that I'm totally into Moffat's style as a personal preference even when I'm aware what I'm watching isn't perfect. The assumption that Missy was the Master was so widespread upon the series premiere that I'd have expected them to go a less obvious route; the Cybermen…

I hope the audience brings lots of… ibuprofen.

Are you talking about that long montage in Stray Dog where it seems like nothing's happening? 'Cause while I can appreciate what it was doing in retrospect it doesn't really make for the most compelling viewing and I wouldn't point to it as a strong argument for moving away from more traditional story beats.

Yes, the word "balding", and his username.

Did they actually get Lorde to sing the song at the end with "Ya ya ya, I am Lorde"?

I know, but I wasn't laughing at what was in the episode, I was laughing remembering the parody of it

The biggest laugh I got watching the episode was when the beer part reminded me of Ukinojoe's parody.

I really hoped they were actually going to end up destroying Springfield and killing its entire population including the Simpson family. If you're gonna revel in iconoclasm you may as well go all the way.

Recently at the mall, one of the shirts on display in a store window had a bunch of Disney princesses together under the caption "#SELFIE". I then walked a few more paces and encountered a big Red Robin ad reading "BURGERS YOU'D TAKE A SELFIE WITH."

It's an outdated file format now though.

Interesting fact, Japan's least manufactured pop idol is Hatsune Miku.

The movie's currently at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and many of the reviews linked are rather glowy. I don't know what to believe: the consensus or the one pop culture site I trust!

"The Pirate Planet" is the first Doctor Who story I saw (just last year), and I remember my "I love this! Why has it taken me so long to watch this show?!" reaction.

Traditionally that's the case, but now lip flap is often retimed digitally to fit better, especially in cases when animation is revised for home video release. Adventure Time does air in Japan (or at least did) and works done for America usually have more time and money available than TV anime so it wouldn't surprise…

I'm not a huge DreamWorks fan, and I'm frustrated with the inbred nature of Hollywood animation in general, but for example Madagascar 3 I felt got away better with its rote story beats because it didn't expect you to take them seriously. (I'm pretty tired of the "You lied to me?!" fallout/reconciliation but it was…
