It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good, it was just kind of boring. After the last two excellent episodes, it’s a bit of a let down. The Zygons aren’t really great enemies, the plot was just kinda meh and the acting was actually pretty poor across the board. I dunno, this felt phoned in. I just kind of didn’t care? Oh, okay,…

agreed...had more fun talking to my fellow whovians than anything else...less vendors than last year too...

I don’t know if that’s true. I feel like she’s made mistakes. You watch her struggle as the parent of a teenager, she married Teddy (woah, big mistake), she called off a huge multi-media publicity wedding the day off (which is like, super scandalous), and she’s back together with her recovering alcoholic baby daddy…

Well, she also could have felt the need to go back because she believes there is a human being abandoned on an alien planet and she is now his only hope of escape...but obnoxious none the less.

It would cut communication off from everything outside of North America. But it would be no simple task because it would require cutting every single one of them and once we figured out that they were being cut it would be rather obvious someone was getting ready to attack us or nuke us. If you look at the interactive…

I read the story 3 times trying to see where the connection was to Congress. I’m just going to give the benefit of the doubt here that it was a Freudian slip of sorts, and not that someone who is covering politics for Jezebel doesn’t know that state legislators are not called congressmen.

They are state representatives or legislators/state lawmakers... not congressmen.

I always got a kick out of the clip show episodes that would try and weld together all the various episodes from the past season, no matter how hard it might be. lol

no its on fox...

So I respect his royals – I’m pulling for his royals – but we just make fun of each other all the time.

Wasn’t there an episode where Abbie went into the past and they thought she was an escaped slave?

Smoakin’.

Thank you! I think Clara is underrated and gets a lot of flak despite being the only companion to really be a fully formed, complete person. She’s not in love with The Doctor, nor are her travels required to fill in some missing part of her growth as a person (the way Rose and Donna both had to learn a “believe in…

Quite liked this episode. Last week’s was not much, but this one brings it together. Not amazing, but nice. Missy is, of course, the greatest.

What about the titles? Last week’s was “The Magician’s Apprentice” where Clara is shown as the stand in when the Doctor is out. The lessons she’s learned from him allow her to…

This was far from my favorite Doctor Who story. I got pretty bored at times. But, the stuff with Clara in the Dalek was beautifully tragic when you think about it. The living Daleks could be inside those things screaming for help, or making declarations of self expression and emotional outbursts all the time, but the…

This actually made me happy the way ordinary house keys used as TARDIS keys made me happy. Little kids can pretty easily get a hold of a cheap pair of shades or an old key to put (safely) to use, and I know I loved having ‘real’ things like that to mix into my make-believe. It’s silly writing but excellent for…

Ugh, gross. I would not want it to be so soap-operaish and convenient. I think there are a frillion more creative reasons she could be so protective. Though... she did go on and on about how infertile she was. Hm.

That’s EXACTLY what I proposed to my friends last night in our group chat. It would (handily) explain how he got into the school last-minute from the wait-list, and is so freaking untouchable.

Never knew this existed!
Shit. Thanks for sharing!

It’s funny, because in addition to the more popular video version that you mention, there’s also the album version of the song where she sounds like she’s crying. I love that one.

He’s just jealous that Old Christine won Emmys, while he get bupkus.
