When was it ever kid pandering? It's always been pretty dark, which is what I thought built it's appeal.
It did however never take itself too seriously like a BSG did.

Oh no, even I won't go so far with my Britishness to buy Jammie Dodgers.I am however having Cadbury Creme Eggs (the imported type, not the rubbish Septic version) for brekkie.

Production note: nix this phonebox thing, people won't buy it.

Oh there's ways to get around that then.

Stop saying Lampshading!

He got it right for that Doctor still living with what he did and never being able to let it go.
Honestly though that tortured persona was getting really tedious well before The End Of Time, and I'm glad they've let the character lighten up a little.

I don't see it. He seems the type of actor who never looks back on past roles.

River is jealous of the fez because she can't pull it off.

It's not a natty hat, it's a magnet.

If they were worried about the marriage, then last episode's snogging was a funny way to show it.
I suppose the ambiguity of the marriage's legitimacy gives a get out of jail card.

I had the same sort of reaction to Victorian Clara. At least write the character to act more like a woman from that era, but I liked her anyway and wrote it off as part of what they'll reveal the character as.

Gosh, I hope I haven't been to much a negative Nancy so far.

I never actually saw the US Life On Mars, how bad was it?

Isn't Sutekh trapped somewhere for a thousand years?
Then the Daleks have been destroyed how many times, so I guess I have no point.

I liked the idea, but wow did that feel so not in the spirit of Who.

That sounds terrible, actually in that case why even call it Doctor Who, apart from wanting name recognition?

It'd be interesting if they stuck to it and didn't have it be something he really has to stop happening, just an occurrence.

I think part of the problem is that Amy and Clara are such conventionally attractive characters, and that the show knows their looks will appeal to the male fans, that it's easy for people to think that.

I agree. Small doses. That's always kind of been a companion problem, that the more you see them the more annoying they can get.

Mickey was the black Adric.
