I somehow missed the news that Orlando Jones was playing Mr Nancy.

I just googled. Very attractive Cuban lady probably propelled to the top by the fact that she's in the Blade Runner sequel.

Cloris Leachman? That just makes me sad about the loss of Raising Hope. Oh, and then angry that we never found out what became of Elsie on Westworld.

They could have his petrified skeleton (complete with badge) found in with a bunch of fossilised dinosaurs.

Ace 2.0? Just because they're both working-class girls who the Doctor is mentoring and educating while they get angry at injustice, question whether they should trust the Doctor, fail to get on with their (foster-)mother, and like girls?

For one thing, it didn't leave you asking: "Wait, they destroyed and then replaced the Moon? How the heck does that work?"

A brilliant scientist/surgeon/musician/miniature horticulturalist?

At the end of this episode I thought to myself: "Well, that was pretty great." And then I thought: "Wait, how long since I thought this about an episode of Doctor Who?"

Historical point: At the time, legally, there were no slaves in Britain. In 1772 a judge had rather smugly declared that English air was too pure for a slave to breathe, and as such any slave setting foot on the soil of mainland Britain was automatically emancipated, and the slave trade had been outlawed in 1808.

The beginning is weirdly disconnected from the rest of it.

*Googles* Well, today I learned.

Well, provided you haven't seen her in the sequel. Which was terrible. Even with Eva Green playing a naked femme fatale, it was terrible. Seriously, don't bother.

What does he hope to gain by saying that? Sympathy?

For many years the only thing I had seen Jessica Alba in was the Fantastic Four films, in which she was grossly miscast and had a horrible dye-job. Then I caught a few episodes of Dark Angel on the Horror Channel, and suddenly I got it. That woman is ridiculously pretty.

I think it was called The Press Baron who Couldn't Recapture his Childish Innocence.

Terry Pratchett would be 69 today. I miss knowing he was out there writing.

Daniel Day-Lewis! *Taps glass eye with a steak knife, drinks somebody else's milkshake, has romance with Madeleine Stowe*

Samantha Bee is bringing the blackjack and hookers? Cool.

Karma has to be the most box-tickingest character in comics. She's a gay, mutant, female, Asian, immigrant, Catholic, amputee, and formerly obese.

When they had the sexual predator teacher get burned alive.
