Well, assuming nothing else time-travel related happened in the meantime, Melody would've been about 30 by the time she hooked up with young Amelia and Rory, even if she still had the appearance of a child. A child with the intelligence of an adult, especially one trained in assassination and whatnot could probably…

Far be it for me to stick up for "The End of Time," but Ten only died because he saved an old man. He could've saved the Earth and walked away in one piece. In fact, RTD considered having a random scientist trapped in the radiation box instead of Wilf, so it wouldn't look like the Doctor only did it because it was a…

Yeah. They were just snapping necks left and right in the catacombs without sending anyone back in time, and they got the lead priest/commando in a headlock before the Doctor looked away so they could finish him. An Angel also grabbed River without sending her back in time in "Angels Take Manhattan," when she had to…

Maybe they're for the Daleks, so they can see what their puppets are seeing remotely. Do the Daleks really seem like the kind of people who'd let their servants go unmonitored?

I did think it was very silly in "Day" when he was using the front panel phone. It's odd that they would've neglected that when they redesigned the console room, considering that the Moffat era used it much more than in RTD's era. IIRC, Nine just used the console phone once during the Slitheen episodes, and Ten used…

New spin-off idea:

I like to think Moffat's extremely lengthy gaps in the Doctor's history are a fannish reaction to the RTD era, where we apparently saw pretty much everything that could've happened to the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, leaving little room for books, comics, audio plays, and so on.

The original intent of the Library episodes was apparently that River would have had a few adventures with Ten, though the lion's share would've been later. Her line about, "Judging from your face, it's early days for you," having a regeneration-specific nickname for him ("Pretty Boy"), and that she only suggested two…

Expectation-managing. If you're ambivalent about the new guy, you can be pleasantly surprised or right, which has it's own joy. If you're optimistic, then you can be right or disappointed, which isn't a win-win.

On the other hand, if we take into account Moffat counting the War Doctor and the half-regeneration, that vindicates all those theories that the half-human Doctor who went to live with Rose in the alternate universe was the Valeyard.

"Final death," yes, distant future, no. The TARDIS console room was the current version (they could've done up something if they wanted to suggest a future TARDIS), and the enlarged TARDIS had the same crack in the window the present-day TARDIS got when it crashed at the beginning of the episode (a detail they…

I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend one of the better fan-projects I've ever seen, "A Fistful of Arrows," a Reach sequel-prequel comic that shows what happened to Jun, the teammate who "died" by calmly walking off-screen with a preexisting character while implying he was going to shoot her.

The new developers explicitly aimed to give the Chief more character development, to the point where he even talks during gameplay during Halo 4, which feels weird.

The advertising tagline literally was, "From the beginning, you know the end." Which I just realized works in multiple senses.

Why wouldn't he? Some terrorist looks like a younger version of a comfort woman he'd seen a handful of times ten or fifteen years before? If anything, the logical assumption would be that Nerys wasn't Meru's biological daughter, but was adopted by Mr. Kira, or there was some switched-at-birth mixup in the refugee camp.

The Prophets had their own inscrutable reasons for bring Darvin and the Defiant back in time. Maybe to let The Sisko meet his hero. Maybe to save the tribble from extinction. Maybe they were still trying to get a handle on this "time" thing, and wanted to see what would happen if someone changed history.

On the other hand, imagine if an iPad cost, like $5. Sure, you could get by with just one, but how long before you have one for work, and one for home, and then one in the kitchen with all your recipes, and then one in the living room in case someone Skypes you…

No, it sucks because they cut out the sun-blocker being pulled down and crushing Shelbyville.

On another site, there was a fellow who had a theory that coming to terms with death was the great theme of the RTD era. You had the Time Lords being killed, the Earth succumbing to old age, Cassandra making herself into a grotesque creature to avoid death and age and so on for the rest of his run, like the End of the…

It's a trick they've used on every new companion in the revival. Their first episode is present day, and the next two go into the future, then the past (or vice versa).
