I think she's more than a model. The name of the perfume, Petrichor, is a callback to "The Doctor's Wife" and the slogan is about her freeing herself of her crush/worship on/of The Doctor. A model doesn't have that kind of influence on an ad campaign. Amy is more of a Coco Chanel type, I'd think.

In a TrekBBS thread where everyone was bitterly denouncing the new Dalek design as looking like toys. I pointed out that it was consistent with the Smith era's toyshop aesthetic.

I'll put some tranquilizers in your jelly beans (jelly babies?) and you'll be fine.

"you've redecorated. I don't like it." Nice Patrick Troughton call-back.

I was taken aback by how rancid their relationship seemed. He's an overworked drudge and she's apparently a whore he's sick of fucking.

I thought it was interesting how Dharma and Greg—on their own show, very much in love—were presented here as just as spiteful and nasty as anyone else.

And by calling Amy "Amy Williams," he finally said he does. Sexist maybe, but touching.

Hence "Amy Williams." Rory is now in charge of that relationship.

The Doctor's relationship with Rory—one of grudging, mocking admiration—is oddly reminiscent of his relationship with the Brigadier.

I just watched that episode for the first time ever about a month ago. Interesting how Seven destroys Ace's faith by tearing into her but Eleven destroy's Amy faith by tearing into himself.

Indeed. TNG did truly suck.

Old Amy was still in love with Rory—she was mad at him but she never said she hated him. She loathed The Doctor, though.

Must have been when I was kissing you.

"The Doomsday Machine" works as hard-ish SF within the pre-existing fast-and-loose Trek setting.

The "peppers and eggs" line is one of those Uncle Juniorisms—a nothing line delivered so perfectly by Chianese that it becomes as resonant as Shakespeare—that they named the second Sopranos soundtrack compilation after it.

Not only is that wipe terrible, there's a scene where the film slows and stops for the dumbest of reasons. I remember seeing Figgis's name in the credits and thinking, "eh, how can he fuck this up?" I found out.

COCONUT-RELATED SPOILER

It was funny watching America (through the media) try to make up it's mind for those few days when the Octomom first hit the news. For a moment, it really seemed like it could go either way.

She and Jon could re-unite for a Brazzers "Punishment" (i.e.: terrifying rape fantasy) scene.

Especially when you already have two kids.
