People, please stop griping about the "grades." AV Club writers put 99% of their thought into their reviews and just slap a grade on because the site considers it click bait. Gripe about the points made in the review if you like, but getting indignant over a grade here is pointless.

Thank you. I disagree with you, but the oddly hostile negativity of everyone else was bringing me down.

Don't be ridiculous. There are only 652 comments in total to this article. I'll guess 484.

Osgood, of UNIT, is returning next week. After "Day of the Doctor" some people speculated that Osgood's "prettier sister" (mentioned by her Zygon) might somehow be Clara Oswin Oswald. That speculation seemed far-fetched at the time — they showed no sign of recognizing each other in the episode. But in an episode

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. They were looking after the trees' health care benefits.

FEMA vs COBRA, racing to uncover the mysterious secret behind an ancient and/or alien artifact, sounds like a good bad-movie.

The Light at the End, part of the 50th anniversary celebration last year.

12 has self-hatred but so did 11, as mentioned explicitly over and over. Furthermore, self-hatred seems to be the new revisionist explanation for why — going back to "The Three Doctors" — the Doctors have never gotten along when they meet. Only 4 and 8 got along (in a Big Finish audio) and their lack of tension was

"We've got enough warriors, and any old idiot can be a hero."

Well, it could have happened any time AFTER the writer decided that the Doctor had solved the mystery.

Well, no. Clara could not have soniced away the bad guys. The conflict as stated at the end was that the Doctor had figured out how to solve the problem just as communication broke down between her and him. Clara said as much — that they had to get to the Doctor because he had solved how to beat the baddies. It

So the obstacle for the Doctor here was that he could not get out of the Tardis because the door was too small. Couldn't he simply have sent the Tardis away without him, Sally Sparrow style?

When the Tardis shrank here, it only shrank on the outside. When the Tardis shrank in "Carnival of Monsters" it shrank inside and out.

I do not understand the appeal that Davison has for some fans. He seems pleasant, but bland. At the end of "The Five Doctors" he notes that he has outgrown the eccentricities of his previous incarnations, but to me that just meant that he is no longer as interesting as a character.

A 4-way tie is immediately followed by fifth place…

At the end of "Name of the Doctor" (when they were in timestream-land) Clara was surprised that she didn't know the War Doctor's face because she thought that she had met them all. During "Day of the Doctor" (when they were in the Tower of London dungeon) 11 asked Clara if she remembered meeting 10 before. (Her

Whatever you are, or he is, descending into Arnold White-styled public defensiveness was probably not your smartest move.

Rushmore of Doctors is much easier:

Remembrance is fun, but the story makes no sense (even for Doctor Who) the more you think about it.
