Man, I loved that season.

And GUS is the Rani. Duh.

This. I find the dialogue nearly inaudible lately, to the point where I've had to to turn on captions just to understand what's going on. Glad to hear it's not just me.

In this order:

Exactly.

I was going to ask you to reiterate your point, and then I realized I couldn't care less.

In the real world, men absolutely have recourse. They can press charges. There are actually responses to violence other than reciprocal violence.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to breathe on the moon, and handwave it with the TARDIS or the sonic or something. And I wouldn't be upset either. But then we clearly watch the show for different reasons.

"So, Clara gets the right to threaten The Doctor with more physical violence, but he doesn't reserve the same right? Where's the equality?"

It's mostly meaningless magic. 11 used the sonic screwdriver as a magic wand, many times literally.

Yes. In doctor who, plot holes are everywhere and answers have been. It's surprising that you haven't figured this out by now. I actually think the plot holes lately have been much improved from 5-7B.

Filler in doctor who would be a problem I'd love to have. :)

I think one thing we can all agree on is that the long form plot structures in this show would be a lot more believable if there were simply more episodes to back them up. In fact, I'd say almost every systemic problem with this show stems directly from a simple lack of quantity.

Six redux meets one redux.

Yeah, I think that's the point, but it's hard for a lot of people to suspend their disbelief when it comes to characters falling in love.

"with lines in more than one scene"

Also explains why he thinks they're the same age.

I get the feeling they're going for the same arc they did with six - start off curmudgeonly to allow room for character development.

For some reason some of my replies aren't showing up, so you may see this twice, but:

I accept your compliment.
