CVS owned People's for a while before changing over the name. People's existed in DC when I arrived in 1993; I want to say the name was changed in '96 or so.

You people are reminding me of Doctor Who fandom trying to work out the Season 6B timeline of the Second Doctor.

As I read it, Nazir intended to survive by hiding in the tunnel. The endgame works out with or without him.

FWIW, in the real world some of the electronic networks are far less monitored than regular communications. Skype is unbreakable unless it deliberately puts tapping mechanisms in at the countrywide level (which it has done in several cases; unclear if that's true in the US). FBI went on record last week that Apple…

Coming in three months late after catching up on the season, and before delving into the 1,000 comments that preceded me, but I have to say: Todd, you're nuts.

While I was watching it, I thought that the TARDIS was slowly catching up because eventually everything was translated. But since that wasn't mentioned later, you might be on to something.

You know, I actually managed to know that without ever before realizing that the Fifth Doctor is the Tenth's father-in-law.

"Since the reboot"?

Naturally, at some point this deliberate change in prop will be used to show that the two shows actually occurred in similar parallel universes, which will be the key to the multiple Claras.

My strategy is, "give 'em all a try and bail if I'm bored." I don't much care how many parts they have.

Agreed 100%. I watch several TV shows at once, and randomly mix up current shows with full seasons I'm catching up on. Two classic Whos back-to-back is the max I can take, but some of the series can be excellent if you take each ep in small doses.

Having seen a few theories about "the TARDIS doesn't like me", I have to say I thought it was a throwaway joke because the door was locked.

I'm relying on memory, but I don't buy that the Tenth Doctor meant what you're claiming by "blood of your species". The Doctor adjusts his language to the species and culture he's talking to; he talks to a Sycorax the way a Sycorax is most likely to respond.

American cultural export is a very different flavor than British was. Ours is, "anyone who could see what we are will naturally and automatically become like us, because we're just that great." It's not paternal except when it includes "teaching what America is 'really' like." British colonialism was much more about,…

I'm a big fan of portentousness.

Out of the park. Leaf. I see what you did there.
