Did anyone else get kind of a Red Dwarf feel from the scavengers?  I was half expecting the ship to belong to the Jupiter Mining Corporation, or one of them to call his brother a smeg-head.

Both Leela and River have used the pool before, so I figured at least one of the pools was relatively close to the control chamber, and a well known part of the TARDIS geography.

Being a History of the Time War, perhaps it was written before the Time War, by one (or more) Time Lords.

When I was nine, and my brother seven we moved into a new house.  I got the room in the basement, while my brother got the room upstairs next to my parent's bedroom.

I was initially thinking that the Car Czar and Penny had already got it on, but then I realized that was BJ.

My grandmother, going through the late stages of Alzheimer's, would often tell people (unprompted) "I used to vulcanize tires", which was her first job when she was a teenager.

Hmm… not sure what characters he's using to categorize the clade.  While avians are certainly descended from reptiles, the distinctive features of the Class (feathers, lunate metacarpals, beak without teeth) are generally considered sufficient to separate them from Reptilia.

As it happens, I am actually going to be in Vancouver in early September.

There was a Fantastic Four comic where Invisible Girl went all evil, and dressed like a slut.

I don't know how widespread they are, but we have a supermarket franchise called Sobeys here.

How the hell did I never notice this before?!?!

I didn't think it was all that tacked on.  Even when the boogie-creature was chasing the Doctor through the forest, I thought it was obvious that the creature didn't mean any harm, it was just fugly and wanted to go home too.

As she sat down at the computer, it clearly showed a login page.

Or all of the clones are triploid chromosome or something, genetically engineered to be reproductively incompatible with "standard" humans.

Wait… there's a handedness to how you hang up your clothes?

While the term technically refers to those of the Bohemian-Hungarian region (which is now part of the Czech Republic), amazingly enough those who would use such a derogatory slur are not particularly pedantic about the application of the appellation, and it quickly got used to refer to any "lower class" labourer or…

Um, yeah, that term is actually a derogatory term - usually used as a slur against those of Ukrainian ancestry.
