Any love for the re-imagining of "Santa baby" by Rev Run & the Christmas All Stars? Or too coverish?

Wasn't the show forced to turn United Nations into Unified Intelligence. Probably no need to keep the blue berets at that point.

That's actually how I recommend it to people - "Watch this, you'll love it, but don't go on. Go back four seasons and catch yourself up. Trust me."

Zoe was supposed to be nearly as smart as the doctor, but was often just displayed her proficiency at screaming. And wearing sequined cat suits.

We see her as human interacting, everybody else sees her  in robot form. She will then teach the skinjob daleks about the one true God. Ronald D Moore then gets really pissy.

yeah not hard to believe the daleks could insert or delete (or at least repress) whatever memories they wanted to into her brain.  With the audience "knowing" her fate gives them a huge opportunity to change it when we are least expecting it too.

Great, now I'll have "Wheels on Fire" stuck in my head…

Going on my second year here. The drivers are truly the worst I have ever seen.

Didn't she read his name on his crib on Demon's Run? Or am I mis-remembering?

Moffat explained all these things, via a monologue form the Silence. You just can't remember once the camera cut away…

Not sure Lewis Black was famous enough back then to be stunt casting. Giamatti hadn't really done much either at that point.

Family Ties
I instantly got Family Ties flashbacks when I watched that dance, so there are at least two of us in the viewing audience who were watching Alex P Keaton and Ellen(?) in the 80s.

I thought Danko gave puppet man to Sylar as a present. I must have confused him with one of the other 9 million characters who don't matter.

oops I meant Puck. I shouldn't talkback late at night.

Three dimensional chracters
I would add Turk, Emma and Ken to the list of characters who have come along way from the pilot to being more formed.
