I agree, but there are times when, for legitimate reasons, complete transparency isn't feasible or advisable. It's in those situations where there's give and take.

Read the second sentence please. The Fourth Estate, meaning the free press, is there to be a means for keeping the government honest. That's why it's first in the Bill of Rights.

The relationship between government spokesmen and the press is meant to be adversarial. The Fourth Estate's job is calling government on its B.S. - that's how it's supposed to work. The press asks hard questions, the spokesman makes the press work for the answers and tries to steer the narrative.

I'm not generally a fan of remaking classic Sci-Fi movies.

Also, This story meshed nicely with Missy's plan in "Dark Water," in which she is working to take over with a Cyberman Army peopled with recently deceased Earthlings.

Alas, poor Adrick. He'll never know if he was right…

True dat.

She was only mostly dead.

I think it was an affirmation of the fact that Bill and The Doctor enjoyed a totally platonic relationship, as opposed to the sexual tension he had with some of his previous companions.

Thank you Dean Wormer, may I have another?

Probably more "A Christmas Carol" considering it's a British production.

The Master chose a young body like the Tenth Doctor (Tennant) when he regenerated in "Utopia," going from Dr. Yana (Jacobi) to Harold Saxon (Simm).

This episode was all about redemption and getting what one deserves.

That would be wicked!

I think it's either Mondas, which became an ice planet after breaking its orbit around Sol, or the Mondas-like environment on the colony ship.

Jacobi can do it all! He has been awesome in everything I've ever seen him in.

Yes! She needs a deliciously wicked role in which we can love to hate her!

Didn't mean to uncheck myself - damn touch screen!

True, people go insane after a few days of solitary confinement. Jack should have been a babbling idiot after the first time they buried him alive.

Also, I watched "Interstellar" again Friday and was totally going over the physics in my head as the event horizon in this episode came into view. I really liked the quick, dirty and totally accurate explanation the Doctor gave on how gravity affects time-space. Fundamental Einstein. Nicely done.
