She could even be one of the reasons that it's so difficult for the Doctor to cross his own timeline.  He can't "re-do" any of his adventures because she's already distributed across his timeline according to what they are.

Power is a perfect word for it.  There's a real sense that Smith has worked out a great method of "becoming" The Doctor.

I agree with you, although I'd give it an A-.  I'll be very surprised if they bring back River, because this really did seem like her final hurrah.

I'd say that it was implied by Clara switching from "I don't know where I am" to "I don't know who I am" that she ended up with at least some of her other iterations' memories.

You have oddly strong opinions on this.  Wrong ones too.

"So, was that the Fall of the Eleventh?"

Loved it.  Two questions:

Cuban is the worst thing about Shark Tank imo.  Everyone else does a much better job.

@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus , that interview is one of several where they talk about how difficult it is for them to have the the same person playing both roles in a single scene…  
With Orphan Black on the air now, I can't help but wonder if TVD just doesn't have the technical expertise on-hand to…

@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus , was it ever explained how the vervain came back?  Last episode, Rebekah said that Caroline was taking it.

I find Kevin O'Leary's co-host on the Lang and O'Leary Exchange (Amanda Lang) to be one of the more attractive people on the planet.

I agree.  I don't go out of my way to my way to watch it, but I'll stop if I come across it to see if that's going to happen.  There's a report in the Toronto Standard about an upcoming episode where two guys ask for $5 million for a 20% stake in a Klondike gold vein they found, and O'Leary actually offers $1 million…

Ah, our valedictorian criteria wasn't based on academic performance so much as overall performance and evidence that you can make a great speech in front of two thousand people.  

That's an interesting system.

Nardwuar is very off the wall, but still worth watching.

I agree, but I suspect it has to do with them compressing the entire storyline into a single episode, when it should have been an entire arc.

I don't Ship anyone, but I fully agree with you and @avclub-fc338fa43180570a8ea616e97bb20dfa:disqus  that they are by far the best romance on the show, quality-of-plot wise.

I didn't like how close they brought Elena to death before she won. It made her ability to shove a cure down Katherine's throat more implausible than it needed to be, and if she had done it while in the middle of a fight, it would have made far more sense.

"the first thing we realized was she would of course be the one person we couldn't cure because it was just too easy."
