Pfft. If it's only two, my immune system is ROCKING.

Even easier: grab a container of pre-marinated butterfish at Costco. Do they it at mainland locations, or just Hawaii? If it's not available, you should petition your Costco to carry it - super awesome easy yum.

So, was there any significance to the name "Jack Daw" (aside from, yes, also the name of a bird)? It was said so many times! It reminded me of Sergeant Jack Rum from Pratchett's "Monstrous Regiment"…

Any love for the TARDIS door to the motel room?

They were IDed as dredgers, so dredging, I'd guess.

You… are not wrong.

Yep. Especially hot from the oven at 3am, ripped in half and dunked in smoked-salmon-flavored cream cheese.

It's not a metaphor for perseverance, it's an example of perseverance. Yes, I'm that person.

I accidentally made balut once. A neighbor gave me a bunch of duck eggs, swearing they were fresh, and I boiled them up without checking. Imagine my horror when I peeled them and found they were more duck than egg…

I don't think role models necessarily have to look like you. It's more that, the more commonalities you have with someone, the easier it is for you to imagine that you could do what they're doing. So, if someone from your hometown goes on to be President, for example, that makes it a little bit easier to imagine that…

I had a signed copy of "Last Chance to See…", but a 'friend' borrowed it and 'lost' it. Dammit.

Jesus of Montreal, maybe? I love that film.

That, right there, is comedy perfection. Simple, elegant, couldn't change a word.

Exactly! Talk about burying the lede. I can't for a year without new nuWho!!! [sighs, resigns self to audiobooks]

Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere - 1500 comments definitely strays into TL;DR territory.

If the increased mass (which doesn't make a lick of sense) of the moon is what's causing the problem, how the hell does killing it solve the problem? A corpse isn't any lighter.

Rewatching this in the lead-up for the upcoming season. Goddamn, this episode doesn't make a lick of sense. None of it. I can buy a lot of nonsense in service of a good plot, but… wow. Amniotic fluid? Giant single-cell spiders? The whole gravity thing? Blowing up the moon as a solution? The instantaneous replacement…

What makes you think they have a grandchild? Orson's related to Danny, yes, but why do you think he's a direct descendant of Danny, or related to Clara at all?

I disagree. Orson is a clearly a relative of Danny's (same last name, same appearance obviously), but not necessarily a descendant. Danny and Clara's relationship was enough to establish an essential connection between the two, and if you throw in her 'distraction' while embedded in the telepathic circuit, you have…

Isn't this a list of cases where science got it right (i.e. by being a process that discredited popular but incorrect ideas)?
