The Star-Child is still better than, "Oh, wait. Did I say that was definitely the Doctor, and he's definitely dead? I meant that's the Tesselecta being piloted by the Doctor!" And in my head canon, this also explains why Bill's brain wasn't fried by the Monks' transmitter.

So far, this is the third story I've seen make dramatic effect of gravitational time dilation. The other two: Stargate SG-1's "A Matter of Time," and Gunbuster.

There was a movie that tried the "one heart, two bodies" idea. It involved a computer-animated dragon voiced by Sean Connery. As I recall, it did not fare too well.

I saw the military arc as a variant of the show's conclusion: an apparent resolution to a major problem, in the alliance of three major militaries, playing into the hands of the monks when the alliance turns against the Doctor.

My question, then: what's the punchline? Was he merely playing to stereotype, or was there a genuine understanding of the irony of that choice?

Seriously? Fight Club? The movie about how people like him are easily conned by the charismatic into joining personality cults?

I'm way late to post on this, but I will because it's my absolutely favorite Tennant episode. I had a very different read of The Doctor walking away: you knew exactly what was going to happen, and you knew it was going to be a terrible thing, but it could not be escaped. And everything you'd cheered about The Doctor…

But I liked Leonard Part 6. Granted, I'll admit I have something of a weird sense of humor.

But I kinda like the “here are some awesome things, enjoyed by an awesome dude" aspect of _Mind of a Chef_.
