I felt the same way Doctor Memory did after watching Part One and I really liked the character in the Library two-parter. *NOT A SPOILER PER SE* Part Two made me feel much better by introducing a great deal of ambiguity about her character.

@Snugglesaurus - I completely agree with your second paragraph on. To me, the whole "I'm the Doctor! I defeat things and you should run fleeing for the hills! Because I'm the Doctor!" is such a lazy shorthand. Such a huge violation of "Show Don't Tell" and completely dependent on all the older stories that provide…
I thought it WAS implicitly stated that the Angels in Blink were scavengers…
Alien vs Aliens
I read somewhere that Moffat said that Blink is like Alien while this two parter is like Aliens. And it really does feel like that.
As long as you don't mind an explanation that makes no fucking sense and ending that's kinda anticlimactic (word has it that Moffat had a Season 2 script of Jekyll ready to go, but then things fell through) then Jekyll does indeed rock the socks off.
And probably has a very small penis, Snugglesaurus. But now I feel like we're invoking them (Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary) by talking smack and giving them so much power…
After I saw Avatar, I thought about it and I realized I would definitely shoot one of my scripts in 3d, if I could. My other scripts, I would do in 2d because they don't need the depth of imagery. But the idea of shooting that one script in 3d and playing with that extra dimension in terms of mise en scene and…
We should just never ever mention Indiana Jones 4 again.
I concur with the cutlery.
@Jorge - All I know is that Power of the Dark Crystal was The Chinese Democracy or Duke Nukem Forever of Muppet Movies. I heard all this stuff about it years ago, promo shots and stuff, then nothing. Every so often I'd check to see if it was officially dead and there'd be some post from Tartakovsky on some forum…
If he were to agree to be anally raped by Lexington Steele, I'd totally be willing to give him a pass on the jail time.
Wouldn't it be the same thing as the X-Files episode though?
I was in Montreal a few years ago and the hotel tv only had 3 channels. I ended up watching Teletubbies while really stoned. That's some scary shit. Instead of a soothing woman's voice coming over that periscope loudspeaker thing they had this creepy deep man's voice. Made me think of a WWII internment camp run by…
"Just so you know, we're not laughing at Jesus getting beaten…"
Fraternity Vacation is good stuff.
That clip from the promos had a distinctly "Tomb of the Cybermen" feel.
No, it was original for this season. Moffat came up with the idea after taking his kids to the Cabinet War Rooms and asked Gatiss to write "Churchill vs The Daleks".
Season 2 is the strongest finale for me because the emotions were actually earned. But the actual Dalek vs Cybermen showdown was a bit crap and anti-climatic.
@Prole Hole - Good points. I see where you're coming from. ("Hard Lads From the Future" is totally going to be the name of my new Jazz Fusion Trio). To me, the episode was pure set-up and I didn't need the Daleks do anything but escape to fight another day to satisfy me, but I can see how it would annoy people. Also…
The thing that I was most impressed with the clerics is that Moffat didn't make them fucking morons to take cheap shots at religion or to make the Doctor look that much smarter. That's something RTD would have absolutely done. I like that Moffat tries to treat all his character with respect by giving them dignity and…
