My dad, who's been a doctor for decades, wants to move to Connecticut to get trained as a CSI.

Dumbest episode so far. It's like everyone was trying to be at their stupidest, and they decided to stop following their own rules on time travel.

I had this episode running in the background while playing Fallout 4, but I eventually had to focus when it got to the Fitz-Simmons bits. Pretty ok episode.

I had the same idea, but with everything ending in Batman v. Superman's stinger instead of AoS.

To be fair, the messed-up ethics never bothered me as much. Kill The Moon is basically a rehash of The Beast Below, with the moral question of the day being: do you kill one thing to save whole shitload of people?

Even sadder: that an otherwise intelligent grown up thinks tidal forces can only be explained with mysticism. There's a lot of "magical" things in this world that science has clearly explained.

Note, I said "even by Doctor Who standards." I know that a certain suspension of disbelief is required, but usually there's some explanation — or as is usually the case of a lot of episodes, a strong handwave via "timey-wimey.

So you'd rather the cycle is continued by meaningless violence?

Not forget; forgive. That's the problem: if each side keeps blaming the other for past conflicts, then war will never end.

Oh, I watched Kill the Moon.

I hated Kill the Moon. Aside from the fact that it was a huge reset button at the end, the science of it all was wonky, even by Doctor Who standards. If the moon hatched into a giant space creature then laid a second moon in its place, the tidal forces alone would've killed us all.

I remember people not liking her stuff throughout most of Capaldi's first season. Then again, a lot of nothing happened during that season.

People had a high opinion of her when she was Oswinn the Dalek. It's the succeeding seasons as Clara that soured her to most audiences.

Who'd have thought that Jenna Coleman's most powerful performance is when she's playing a character playing her character?

Thanks for reminding me that Person of Interest did this exact same plot, but much, muuch better (at the cost of one of the main cast).

And after half a cancelled season, we get the best episode of Constantine yet. And it's on another TV show.

I couldn't even finish it, what with the infodump intro and what seems to be an Ally McBeal with superpowers treatment. Is this meant to be the show's main draw? Because if so, then this isn't for me.

You think he's not really black? Or are you implying astrophysics isn't really a science? Because you're wrong on both counts. Tyson can moonwalk, and has multiple peer-reviewed papers published.

So Neil DeGrasse Tyson isn't really black?

So the moral of the story is: black scientist = bad, black athlete = good?!
