That is a lot of work for something that simply isn't going to add up. Save it for Primer, Parkin! ;-)

I think the important bit of canon to remember is that "time can be rewritten" ;-) Whenever the writers please.

I always thought part of 10's whininess about regenerating was because he was still recovering from his God Complex from the end of The Waters of Mars. He loves Wilf, he's going to save him but he can't help having the thought that it's a bitter irony it isn't some grandiose unavoidable threat taking him out, it's…

I don't know where we are Toclafane wise but I'm curious to see if the Master/Missy wants the Doctor dead or not or their relationship is going to be more along the twisted friendship lines where the Master apparently doesn't want the Doctor dead but also apparently wants him to suffer.

I liked that this story has some lasting consequences for the Doctor because that feels pretty rare outside of regeneration stories or on an emotional level stories where a companion leaves. Usually he's pretty untouchable, so the blindness added weight to the story and also meant Nardole was in the right (again it's…

That's not enough to be the brightest timeline, the Pence problem also has to get fixed.

Upstream Colour and a UK sci-fi series called The Last Train. I was ten when I saw The Last Train and it had a crucifixion scene which was a bit intense.

Maybe Trump will fire Spicer next week when he wants to look decisive again and people won't stop talking about the Russia thing…..

The problem is by the time I get the 15 or 30 minutes it is night, work has sapped all my energy and I'm too zombified to do what I need to do properly. That said I'm also sleeping badly at the minute which is probably skewing my perspective.

How many years are we going back on that one? ;-)

If you trust someone you don't (unconsciously or consciously) test them. Also surely if she trusted him, continuing the relationship would have been more of an option.

On the backburner thanks to a lack of free time :-(

Our songs always being bland shit also hurts our chances in fairness ;-)

Saying she didn't trust him isn't necessarily a reflection on him. Some people have trust issues because of things their partner does and some people just have trust issues full stop. I wasn't making a point about him so much as saying that her trust issues ended the relationship. (Not trusting he loved her enough…

If people see other people with contempt as either objects to use and discard or tokens in a game, it's on them and no-one else.

You have to take what you can with most of 5's stories ;-)

I vaguely remember it winning some points with me for having a vibe like that of The Prisoner ;-) Plus there are definitely worse Peter Davison stories.

I like Tegan but some of the writing for her was terrible. I don't think her exit makes a ton of sense in "Resurrection of the Daleks" (they needed to have 5 do something more morally questionable or put it in one of the other stories) and there are plenty of other lowlights (that scene where she's sobbing/out of…

I really love "Enlightenment". I thought it was a cool, trippy story (powerful beings basically plucking people out of time to play games) and it's probably as close to being fun as a 5 story gets. (I say this despite the mind rape and Turlough being suicidal for a few minutes).

I really liked Martha deciding to leave herself. They need to figure out more ways for companions to leave in new Who than having them become so attached that they have to be wrenched away from the Doctor. I'd quite like to see them do a Tegan sort of exit where the Doctor drives someone away because he has to make…
