The Doctor doesn’t have to be the ‘Oncoming Storm’, but the Doctor should be able to walk into a room and take control no matter how insane s/he may sound. S/he should dazzle with language and insight and if not ahead of the curve, able to get there in a few bounces.

We’d also need the parrot. 

I know this is your personal list, but how dare you! How dare you put Rory so low.

I said it in another comment thread, but this really was a joyless The Pirate Planet. 

But the Doctor should always be the Doctor. We should know who s/he is. It’s finding out what aspect of the personality comes forward more that makes it fun.

Agreed. When they let Jodie have Doctorly stuff, she’s wonderful. But they insist on writing her Doctor in unDoctorly fashion and it really annoys me. Male or female, she’s still a Time Lord, and still the Doctor. Write her that way. 

Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster! That is horrible. Japan TV can be sadistic and insane but this one takes the cake for the most cruel.

Yep. If you travel here, make sure you get the top tier travel insurance. I’m going back to Australia next year because I can’t live like this. And it’s absolutely astounding the amount of sane and to the left Americans I know who argue against universal healthcare.

It’s brilliant, isn’t it? Christian Sassy is my favourite, if you haven’t watched it, I recommend it. What does he do to all those bibles?

oh, go look up on youtube Sassy Trump. Peter Serafinowicz does the voice.

I’m half in agreement. I hate hate hate NYC pizza that’s covered in hot plastic (cheap cheese). But then there are pockets of beauty where the pizza is just sublime. Balance is everything. And, if you’re going to insist (America) in keeping limits on ingredients, then quality is queen. 

I am scarred. I make my pizza from scratch, and was actually to do so this eve, but people are out of the house, and i’m not making pizza for one.

as part of this ridiculous campaign they claimed women can’t call themselves feminists if they eat eggs and dairy. 

Because it was a terrible Australian accent?

good lord. what is wrong with you people?

My friend/ex-roommate gets terrible migraines and had to cut garlic and onion from her diet. My heart goes out to all who suffer this. Doubly so if it’s also making tomatoes evil.

you should make buttered eggs. 

you’ve never watched the gymnastics floor section of the Olympics, have you?

Don’t annoy the spider! My dad loves spiders and we were never allowed to kill one. We had a spider jar and they were all released outside.

It’s the gympie gympie (stinging tree). It has silcone spines on it are so toxic and horrific when you get them on you, people would pour gasoline on themselves and burn that area (or so I’ve read).
