I'm not interested in watching an unfolding story about a man having an emotional crisis. Too much like what once was my real life. If the ending's not insulting I'll watch the last seven episodes after they've finished, because at least then it'll be Ted looking back from a healthier position. But in all honesty Ted…

Google 'Amber Tamblyn House' and you'll see how this was a joke.

I thought that was homophobia rather than racism. Though I suppose it could be both, but if it's racism I don't see that he made that clear to Martha, Jack et al. It's also sexism: he uses 'girlie', after all. Also, 'he's a homophobe/homophobia-user and a sexist/sexism-user but at least he's not a racist/racism-user'…

I find her to be an interesting and well-handled portrayal of how a highly irritating character can mature into a mostly self-assured, confident, inspiring person whose flaws can readily be excused by 'Moffat can get too into his own characters.'

Tell the people of New New Earth that honesty is not a mood, not RTD. The Lazarus Experiment is better than OK because it has a great climax and quotes Dylan Thomas; 42 while not great has Martha thinking she's going to die and it's named after Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Quoting Harry Potter in TSC was a bit…

'Venting prevents explo-see-on.' A great maxim for handling life stress (as long as you vent it responsibly).

Makes me wish there had been a crossover between the Simpsons and Gilmore Girls.

Since first seeing this episode 10 or so years ago, every single time I look at my watch and it's something:58, I think 'First time I've ever been early for work.' If it's 8.58, I have to say it aloud. And it's extra delicious if it happens when I'm about to start work.

I remember being really upset when Rose left the show, and thinking 'how can I ever watch another episode now with the dynamic changed so much?' (I was less than a month past my 18th and still at school). After an enjoyable Christmas episode marred only slightly by Donna's occasional gratingness and the…

Would you then have preferred it if Amber Tamblyn's character from House had been a companion?

Sir, if you'd just quiet down, I'd be happy to treat you to a ^.

Oh, and it's raspberry!

As an atheist I have no problem with spirituality as long as it a) does not at any point demand a cessation of thinking and b) does not insist on the truth of its hypotheses in the face of disproving evidence. I can't say the same about 'religion' because as I understand it the dictionary definition of religion is the…

In a way, it is. The story of the episode is based on it; that's my point. See the comment I wrote on the subject a couple of hours ago.

'If you look into the abyss, the abyss looks also into you' - Friedrich Nietzsche. Absolute nothingness can effect things ('effect' as a verb, i.e. cause things to happen). It's a physical construct that happens to sound like an abstract one.

Not stupid. They must have produced a lot of Dust or something.

We'll have to agree to disagree on whether she's annoying. But what the smeg is 'noy, noy'?! Are you trying to steal a pizza but you have a cold?

The only person I feel sorry for come the end of this episode is Rose's friend Shareen. Thinking Rose is dead; probably never to discover otherwise.

I don't personally feel it detracts from the rest of the episode, but it would seem that the controllers of the UK 'Watch' channel, which used to be called 'UK Gold' and shows primarily if not exclusively not-new terrestrial UK TV programmes (e.g. Only Fools & Horses), agree with you. When I've seen the episode…

In case no-one else has mentioned it: these two episodes are based on the in-my-opinon-philosophical-masterpiece that is Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy: primarily in that SPOILER: the world is at risk from a consciousnessness-destroying void inadvertently enabled by a shady organisation, and two people…
