Scooter seems like an outlet for Bill Prady's Big Bang Theory jokes.

Or when they killed Raina to motivate Daisy.

Someone needs to check Hooks BAC, because it seems like becoming the Dark One has made him permanently drunk.

For me it's not that he put them on and then took them off so quickly, but that the entire rest of the time he was in the castle he didn't use them ONCE. He was trying to figure out all these things about where he was and what was going on, but didn't think to use the Sonic Sunglasses once? Really? If he didn't have…

"We lived a Rock 'n Roll lifestyle."
"It was five years ago!"
"Rock and Roll never dies."

Yea, that final injection did make it seem like he was gonna go full purple.

But they kind of finished the "Girl who waited" and "The Last Centurion" stuff for Amy and Rory in their first season, but they kept bringing that stuff up throughout the rest of their run.

I guess it's just more of a general thing with TV shows for me, where I like it when characters who left a show come back later in some capacity (if it makes sense).

I'll agree that Rose's return wasn't the best execution, but I think it was a nice idea. And even with Donna's terrible fate, they found a way to bring her back one more time.

But even though they both technically survived, but trapped, Rose's situation at that point was still somewhat better, since they'd already shown dimension hopping technology, I guess the out for her coming back was always there.

I would hold out some hope for that, but ever since Capaldi's Doctor started they haven't really ever mentioned her "Impossible Girl" stuff. Not that I can remember, anyway. So I'm just not really expecting it to happen. It always could, I'm just not counting on it.

Oh god, you just made me think of some terrible cop out to Clara's death, where the Clara who died this episode was one of those eye-crust monster things that the Doctor had tricked into thinking was the real Clara.

To us, and the Doctor, Amy and Rory might as well be dead.

To us, Amy ond Rory might as well be dead.

I wouldn't rule out there being a "different" Clara in it, but I feel like no one writing at the show (including Moffat) even remembers any of that stuff. I can't remember an episode past 'Name of the Doctor,' or at the latest 'Time of the Doctor,' where her "Impossible Girl' stuff was ever mentioned or brought up…

But in terms of the Doctor, and us, they died.

And even Brian was only in like two episodes, right? Granted it was the Pond's last episodes, but still.

I don't like that Moffat kills the companions. Even if this is some long game where the Doctor starts realizing his most recent companions keep dying and there's some bigger thing going on (isn't there always?), I liked in the Davies seasons how the companions had the possibility of coming back for an episode or two…

I'm not surprised she didn't. They seem to have completely dropped the whole "Impossible Girl" aspect of her almost immediately after 'The Name of the Doctor' finished.

It may be my Conan bias, but the only band leader I've liked is Max Weinberg. I couldn't stand Paul Shaffer's laughing at everything Letterman said (mostly because he was mic'd and it was as loud as Letterman) and Batiste seems to be the same way. I guess Weinberg had the benefit of having Andy around for a while, but…
