Also didn't Ezra stun him in a similar situation a few episodes ago? (Although Kanan got the worst of it both times.)

Yeah, I think it has a very cool disturbing Leftovers-ish vibe as long as we don't know exactly what's happening, as it seems like it could equally be a Christian horror movie or a Secularist utopia. Once the answer start coming out (or really being SLOOOOOOOWLY worked around) it kind of falls apart until the very…

Mary as the "mystery client" was my favorite part of the episode. Nice to see her taking the initiative, and I have a weakness for Holmes saying a bunch of seemingly contradictory stuff and then it all slotting into place.

Hey, no slut-shaming the landlady.

With lupus!

It also seems like she has a sense for when the Doctor needs her, not just for her skill set, but emotionally.

I think she said she was some sort of projection from the library.

Yeah exactly. Things can persist, long enough to matter, but not forever.

I'm now picturing RIcky Gervais character-within-a-character from Extras popping his head in during each cycle to say: "Are you 'avin' a larf?!?"

Doesn't seem too hard for some space radiation to start Me aging again.

His attitude towards the book version of her in Angels Take Manhattan wasn't all that aesexual ("Va voom!"). I mean, it wasn't gross or anything, but it was enough to make Amy uncomfortable (even before she knew he was talking about her daughter).

Sort of a dino saur, as the romans would say?

Well, then as now there were all kinds of isolationists (anarchists, libertarians, religious pacifists, "America for Americans" types…) but during WW2 there was a perception that isolationists wanted to keep us out of war against the Nazis because they were sympathetic with Nazi goals.

They don't seem like an entirely objective source. The way he would take _Johnny Got His Gun_ in & out of print depending on whether the American Communist Party was being pacifist or pro-war at any given turn of international politics (in-print during the Nazi/Soviet pact, out after the invasion of Russia, in during…

Maybe all the hand loss was the result of Disney owning both Marvel & Lucasfilm. ILM are the all-time masters of hand-losing technology.

It does seem kind of like a rebuttal to a line of criticism of Man Of Steel: Jessica has to ignore the victims, go straight for the villain and kill him, judging that the collateral damage of doing this will be less than of taking extra time to find a better way.

And there's a precedent: in Blue Velvet Kyle refers to a guy as "the yellow man" just because he wears yellow clothes.

David Tenant does have some experience chatting with would-be gods and space emperors.

ABC was more about her having chemistry with the camera.

I miss her red hair.
