I know that it's a contract thing, but "Dalek" should have been the last Dalek episode. I'm so sick of just another offshoot of daleks that miraculously survived the time war popping up all the time. "Dalek" was all we needed. It told us that yes, the Daleks are scary as hell but they're relics of a past age just like

Hmmm… I guess it depends on what you like about Davies' run, but I'd say
Benefits of Moffat:
- More serialized
- Rory
- Less "forgettable" episodes. Even the one-off episodes usually have some tie to the bigger picture
- Rory (this has to be stated twice)
- Matt Smith is great
- Three dimensional supporting characters that

It's just them saving Leon every week

I don't know if it was mentioned in the London episode but Mycroft's restaurant was called Diogenes. Loved it.

Olivia d'Abo saying "Bobby" was the best part of Law and Order: CI. It was such a shame that in the midst of the show switching networks and stars her arc got such a sloppy ending

I would put White Tulip on the list as one of the best episodes of television in the history of television

There is no possible way that Mark Sheppard isn't going to be on this show at some point, right?

Loved the super awkward hand on shoulder and "this is so you can heal" thing he was trying to do. It's always nice when he's thrown out of his super-smugness

I would watch a whole episode of vampire book club

"Blonde women who resent him"- someone has serious mommy issues

I can give awkward Jess a pass this episode because she was still 100% more articulate and graceful than I would be if I was hit on by someone who looked like Taye Diggs

I can see Schmidt making Sterling Archer his personal role model. As he should be for all of us.

I was a little bothered by that too. It's a testament to Diggs and the writers that it came off as just sort of dickish and not anything worse.

This is obviously just laying the groundwork for the big bad of season 10

I for one hope that every episode now starts with Dean giving a long winded explanation about why Kevin isn't present and that they get more and more weird.
"Well Sam, as you know, Kevin got abducted by aliens last night and now the poor kid has to sleep it off."

I bet they're glad they watched Game of Thrones last week so they got the reference.
They should be able to bond with Crowley over their love of HBO shows

SPOILER
Or get shot in the face.
Is that a spoiler given that it has absolutely no impact on any of the characters?

Once Rookie received the face punching he so deserved his whole purpose in life was gone and it was only a matter of time

Loved the reference!

I swear this entire episode probably started with a white board with "Crowley meets the Wicked Witch" and everything else was secondary. But how did he even recognize her? Just from being as old as he is?
