The Wibbley-Wobbly is a means of telling interesting stories for Moffat.  I don't think 'glib' or 'trite' are accurate assessments of the storytelling.

A bottle episode would take place entirely in the TARDIS.  They don't do bottle shows on Doctor Who.

Any time people complain about the technology of Doctor Who not making sense, I know they don't get it.  The tech exists to tell the story.  The sonic screwdriver works except when it doesn't.  The TARDIS can go anywhere except for when it can't.  The aliens have set up a time compressed holding facility to show us an

Plan B is doubling their flexibility and decreasing their penis size so they can fit their dicks in their own ears.  We'll never see them again.

Thank you.  Alcohol, insomnia, and 60 hour work weeks due to staffing shortages has made me thankful for any science fiction distraction.  I don't know if I would have made it to the end if I had been mentally well, but it gladdens me that someone acknowledges my sacrifice.

You are far to clever, sir.  I will have to sit here and accept my resemblance to female genitalia.  Unfortunately I'm not enough of a misogynist to feel ashamed by that comparison.  How do women like you, knowing that you hate them?

It was good.  It was fun.  It wasn't legendary, but it was solid.  We want solid sci-fi entertainment.  Children was solid entertainment.  It wasn't A Tail of Two Cities or Hamlet, but it was good enough to make me want more good stuff.  Miracle Day was not good stuff.

Just watched the last episode, or just watched the series?

Night Terrors has a more coherent theme than Black Spot.  Black Spot had more fun stuff that happened, but that's really all it was.  Both rely on central concepts that have been better executed in previous seasons.

So we learned that you have to face your fears.  Locking them up and hiding them away without exploring them, makes them seem more real.  If the little god fears you, he puts you in the cupboard where you are transformed into what he fears.  And the source of those fears is insecurity.  It's definitely more coherent

We should have known all about The Blessing and The Family by the second episode.  We should have known why this was all happening by the third.

I wish I was as strong as you, friend.

I hear Jack Donaghy doing a Christian Bale as Batman impersonation.  It borders on parody.  I kind of think of the main character as the corporation's beloved idiot savant pet.  He's an idiot with no personality, but he's our idiot, and boy is he good at fucking people up.  

That's what we just saw.  He knew she would become River Song.  When he whispered in her ear, she said 'I'm sure she knows.'  Then Melody finds out she's the 'she' he was referring to.  Melody, with the help of a friendly Tessalecta, that The Doctor is a huge part of her future.  That's why she saved him.  It was

After genitalia, it would be the first thing I would check if dumped into a new body.  I'd look in the mirror and check my teeth.  I have no idea why.  Think about it.  What would you check out first?

Yeah, I think the rushed, clipped, and frantic pace of this series episodes will make or break it for people.  It's some of the leanest storytelling I can remember seeing.  Every other show would take the time to show Mel shooting the TARDIS, or would set the action in a less fraught time-period.  River Song goes from

They cleared that up tonight.  The TARDIS taught River how to fly her telepathically.  It could do that because she was conceived there.  It's cheap, but there it is.

In Forest of the Dead, River Song told the Doctor that she would rather die than change one instant of their time together.  My guess is the Doctor told Melody Pond to tell River Song that he wouldn't change a moment of the time he spent with River Song, and that he loved her or something.  When Melody finds out she

Yeah, The Silence just had to wait until people stopped watching the Moon Landing to come back and start messing around with humanity again.

2.  The Doctor went off to find Melody.  It's pretty clear that The Doctor should have been out of Amy's and Rory's lives long ago, so he went solo.  The Ponds wanted an update so they made a crop circle to get his attention.
3.  This is the first time he knows the location and the date.  Amy let that he would die
