The Doctor has had soldier companions before, but that was before the Time War. He was extremely disappointed in Martha when he found out she joined UNIT.

Soldiers are by their nature antagonistic as opposed to the kind of people that look for peaceful solutions to problems, at least in the Doctor (or the shows) view of the world. The Doctor wants to be the latter, but is afraid that he is really the former. This is a pretty common theme of the show and especially it's…

The Doctor hasn't cared about UNIT for at least 1200 years

Pretty sure he hates soldiers largely BECAUSE he was a soldier in the time war. Also, he resisted being that for an incredibly long time. Don't forget that he suppressed the memory of that incarnation and he has always had issues with soldiers in 11th Doctor stories, from criticising the use of guns to outright…

How many times to I have to hit myself over the head with a brick before your insane rumblings make sense to me?

I think you should save these kinds of ideas for your slash-fic

I'm loving the new darker tone of the show. It's reminiscent of the Hartnell / Troughton years which is the darkest the show has been since.

That bit where he merged minds with the Daleks is really when the episode crossed the line into brilliance.

I didn't get it.

I love that the Doctor is a cynical arrogant douche again. It actually brings a lot more humour back into the show. There used to be a lot of good stuff mined from the Doctor being a know-it-all and then being proved wrong by the universe and ending up with egg on his face. The exciting thing about the preview for…

I felt like they're really trying to bring back a lot of stuff from the 60s version of the show in the visuals in particular, especially with that blur effect when they are entering the Dalek

What did you think?

That ending would have been better than the one we got. Fuck you magic plughole.

I would argue that there definitely is a higher power in the shows universe. When Salvatori sees the Virgin Mary it is implied I think, by the fact that we see her reflection in the mirror behind him, that she is real and not a hallucination.

So many people missed the point of the coma dream episodes. It was I think designed to convey the idea that deep down Tony conceives of himself as a decent ordinary guy struggling to survive in a Kafka-esque world in which he is trapped and forced to go to great lengths in order to survive. As the season goes on he…

His daughter presumably escapes the massacre.

The only idiots who hate Skylar are douche-bags who think that Walter White is totally badass and all the awful stuff he does is really awesome and Skylar should shut up and stop complaining and getting in the way of his badassery. In other words, people who don't get the show at all.

I think art that questions the definition of or value of art is the lowest form of art personally and the easiest to create. Even so, the character / prank itself is a pretty funny and interesting statement, but the actual art is pretty much without value.

I don't know if his films were that bad for ultra low budget student film-making. It was more that he started showing it to people to quell their doubts about his ability as a film-maker without explaining the genre which just made him look even more mentally unstable than people may have already suspected.

People have been taking pleasure in watching other peoples misery for millennia. Especially when those people are flawed. It's been a convention of storytelling since the ancient Greeks at least.
