Never actually considered that, ATPC. It's sort of refreshing after the Tennant era infatuation with all things human, right down to the pop culture references. His reaction to Liz 10 and Pond in the Beast Below was quite alarming also. Almost like there's resentment there. He keeps saving us so we can fuck up again.

Space Dementia
One thing that I found interesting about this episode was the number of moments where the Doctor seemed every bit as helpless and fallible as his human companions. First he loses Amy yet again (and seems less than convincing in his reassurances to Rory that he will get her back safely). Then he lets…

If Ms.Pond told you to smack an octogenarian with a log, I'm sure you'd to the same thing.

It's a pleasant enough diversion for the hour or so it takes to play through, don't know if I would pay money for it (although as a British TV licence fee payer I suppose I already have). How much are they asking you guys to pay? I know it's being touted as an 'interactive episode' but it doesn't really have much in…

I want a shirt from Rory's Stag do! That's nerdy even by the standards of A Doctor Who message board.

Ironic, when you consider that at the time everyone was desperately scouring this record for subtext after that guy whose name escapes me killed himself.

69 Love Songs
Of the 69 songs i'd say about 64 are awesome…It's like crawling into a big mug of hot chocolate with acerbic one-liners in the place of marshmallows. And you can sing along to every word without getting an complex because Merrit and pals are so adorably tone deaf!

The former…it's mentioned in the sleevenotes if I remember correctly.

Will this have a laughter track? Might give him a chance to catch his breath between lines…

Don't filch…we gave you Monty Python and The Office, and we can take them back by god!

Speaking as a Brit, I could quite happily go the rest of my life without EVER hearing another Oasis song. I always thought they sounded more like Slade crossed with Rutles crossed with Slowdive than the Beatles.

It seems inevitable he's going to make some dreadful cameo…continuity and logic be damned.

Was sixteen when Pulp Fiction came out: had loved reservoir dogs and was just getting into Gus Van Sant and David Lynch, but Pulp just floored me. It was just this rich cultural artefact that was in love with everything, both highbrow and lowbrow. The idea that a gold watch or an alleged foot massage could be a…

If that's going to happen to another one of our guys then please god let it be Whedon and not Guillermo Del Toro.

Excelsior!

Five years ago I would have been apoplectic with excitement about this, but I agree that the whole "heartless Hollywood fucktards ruining my work with their constant notes" excuse is starting to get pretty old. I gave up on Dollhouse pretty quickly. It seemed like a failed attempt at hard sci-fi and had none of the…
