She's awfully shrill, though… I mean she just looks like that girl at parties who'll talk for an hour about something she's obviously very passionate and offended about, but whatever it is doesn't seem very coherent - she's more thematically pissed off than specifically, if there is such a thing

Wait,, Are you telling me that at least one of those two brothers isn't playing for the other team? Prefers manly men? Good with colors? I really didn't think those buck teeth came from cooking socks.

I hate all the "inspired" christmas episodes - the wardrobe one, christmas carol. Not particularly a big fan of the santa one. I know a lot of shows borrow from the classics, and some shows outright retell them, but I prefer it when DW does the former.

I'm shocked they didn't have Miller as the sceptic, and Einstein as the believer… What up with that?

Well, probably more the problem is that cigarettes don't kill 100% of the people that smoke them… I know when I smoked I always had that "out" that not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer, or another smoking related disease.

Wait, what? Alien was 1979 and the ARK IN SPACE was 1975… Did you mean to say that Alien was inspired by Doctor Who base under siege stories? Which after all went back to 1965?

It would have been pretty awesome if he had absent-mindedly referred to Courtney as his grand-daughter. It would have been tougher to sell with a whiter-than-white grandparent, but that could have played well into The Doctor not understanding human ways.

Seems a deeper interpretation than was suggested by the text… I think the show was going with the simpler I don't like soldiers, and Adrian looks like Matt Smith.
Back to your first point, I don't think it's as much the soldiers actions that are in question, as their lack of autonomy. The Daleks are essentially pure

Reading through these comments (and I didn't read them all), but no one things the guy's pretty wealthy? That that's the real reason why she doesn't want to ditch him, not the "best friend" bit?
My advice would be to find some bullshit reason and file for divorce first, before messing around. At least you'll get

I think it's two different things, though. Filming a live-play so that it can be televised or put in a cinema is fine. You're just expanding the audience, and it's clearly announced as a filmed play that is being re-broadcast. If you adapt a play to make a movie, you have a choice as to how much you should

I thought the biggest plot-hole (if that's what they are) was Victor taking Walt to the lab / Laundromat to do the deal. That didn't make any sense to me at all.

Are we looking at causation or correlation here? Discuss

Interesting read on the gold-coin falling through the crack in the floor signifying that they're over material possessions. My take was that it would come up in some future episode - like somebody or something was under the treasure room at that time, and the gold coin coming in would set off some chain of events.

It is somewhere said (or more likely written) that he used up all his regenerations - it may have been in the books rather than the show, though, but I had a feeling it was around deadly assassin.

I was… It used to be pretty clear in the DVD reviews that the movie itself wasn't being reviewed, just the transfer. I think that's still the case.

I say it's lack of assertiveness… The older guy clearly is into her, but she's dating. Perhaps she even says to him "I'd be with you, but I'm with someone right now", to avoid hurting his feelings. So when she breaks with her boyfriend, she feels cornered by her previous lies.
That and the combination thing that

One last time, I believe the grade is on the transfer and the additional content on the Bluray… Nothing to see here, move along.

Again, I believe the grade is on the transfer and the additional content on the Blueray… Nothing to see here, move along.

I think the grade refers to the transfer / additional features…

The kids know him, though, and they know his story telling style… They've heard all these stories before, and they've been sat there for a while trying to figure out what he's getting at.
