Are we now going to get a subplot with Richard being constantly in the bathroom every episode? I mean, he's just discovered a fun new way to get into hell.

Favourite little moment of the episode: Jonah not being sure whether he just slept with Tanz's daughter or his wife. And her noticing and not even giving a shit.

I was half expecting Selina to make a pass at Mike. I wouldn't expect Mike to go for it; he seems to genuinely love his wife, and destroying the one piece of good luck he's had throughout the entire series would be a little too dark.

Okay, Ben and Kent need to strike an alliance with the soon-to-be Mrs Ryan, make sure they're all pointing Jonah in the same direction.

No, you see, it's different because this time we're not going to pretend to not be borrowing ideas from the X-Men.

First boyfriend: Badass vampire hunter.

Yeah, but in his case I think the appearances are less about him being a skeleton dipped in jello and more about him being a horny idiot.

So, her husband's a hypocritical fascist, her children are petty thieves, and she's dyed her hair blonde. I don't want to criticise Amy Acker's life choices, but I can't shake the feeling that something went wrong somewhere along the way.

And that's why you never try to compete with Rory Gods-Damned Williams. Whatever the category, he's already won.

"ASS-ets"? Oh, I think I see what they did there. It's a pun on the fact that Anikka Albrite has a lovely bottom.

Indira Varma is ridiculously gorgeous and very talented, and the fact that she keeps getting wasted by TV shows remains a constant source of frustration for me. Even Rome managed to underuse her.

Hasn't America just learned an important lesson about letting businessmen go into politics?

So what you're saying is, WGN is going to have to try to assassinate Lucy Liu?

I did expect Bill's life to be saved by Nardole suddenly remembering that he doesn't actually need to breathe. But that would have reduced the drama (even if being too scared to realise he wasn't in danger would have been very much in character).

Strangely political episodes are a grand and ancient Doctor Who tradition. The most obvious examples I can think of being The Happiness Patrol ("Margarate Thatcher sucks, everybody!") and The Sun Makers ("Capitalism taken to an extreme is bad, and evil corporations will charge you for essentials we take for granted").

I don't think so. He said he'd been enslaved by the Kree, and I kind of assume if they were his own people he'd have phrased it somewhat differently.

Yeah, the sheer size of space (and time) means you could have had hundreds of solar systems under corporate control for hundreds of years, with the workers kept completely unaware of the Democratic Space Alliance of Post-Scarcity Utopian Worlds right next door.

That, and the company is probably headquartered on some privately owned planetoid, and the incident is taking place on a privately owned space station, so what legal jurisdiction would you sue in? Or rather, would your family sue in?

Killing Bill twice in one episode. Is that a record for a Companion? Even Rory I don't think ever managed to die more than once at a time.

Turns out it wasn't Trump who fired him, it was his twin brother Ronald. It was all a big, wacky, misunderstanding, except no takebacks so sorry you're out.
