That's how I read it. What sold it for me is that Robin's clearly been around and she and Ted have not done anything but be friends for years by the time he's telling his kids about it.

Only if by "kind of," you mean " a really fucking entitled and obsessive. "

Where do you rank Blown Away?

I have told Mrs. Pontifex that if I go first, she should do whatever she wants with whomever she wants, except for a couple people I didn't like in college. That'll get a hauntin'.

You could probably break him, mentally, by telling him that sweater he got at Kohl's was never actually being sold for $49.99.

Perhaps I'm just thick, but my first thought was that this was as much about the pasteboard treacle of the greeting-card-industrial complex as it this dude's daughter.

Politics is showbiz for ugly people. 90% of the time I crack up when journalists talk about a candidate as being "good-looking." That usually means their features are more or less symmetrical and they don't currently have any visible scars or open sores.

He strikes me as the type who is proud of himself for tipping shitty.

Walker never quite finished college, either.

Less that it was still on than that it's in its seventh season.

Dear God, that top slice of bread in the top image looks like poop that someone pooped on.

It wasn't a complaint, exactly - more that I was thinking, wow, this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how Drive opened!

All through the opening sequence, I kept thinking, wouldn't this be easier in a carefully driven, nondescript sedan that blends in with traffic, is hard to track, and attracts little notice?

Can we also conclude that the shots of him getting his ears examined mean he leaves prison with at least some of his hearing restored?

When that episode first aired here on Sci-Fi I turned to Mrs. Pontifex and said, "Wait, this is by the guy who did Coupling?"

From my perch over here, it's obvious that the Doctor is a scholarship kid, not an officer. "Officer" is about the most colossal misreading of the Doctor you can get.

I did not anticipate enjoying him as a companion — prior to this Matt Lucas' name was an instant nope for me. Happy to have been proven wrong.

Thank you for this. Moffat's work has always resonated with me more than most other TV writers' — I laughed too hard at all the wrong parts of Joking Apart — and you've summed things up better than I've ever been able to articulate them.

I'm normally a big fan of the cable/Brit shorter seasons model, but I could have watched two seasons' worth of Bill-and-Professor-Doctor, going on adventures between lessons.

I'm so old I remember when everyone was complaining about how awful RTD was, and how he was ruining the show, and Moffat couldn't get here to save it fast enough.
