It was the Daily Mail, so presumably they just blamed the typo on immigrants.

I may be wrong, but I think the last time I got such a “This is on, but for God’s sake, don’t watch it!” vibe from What’s On Tonight was the Presidential Debates.

A thousand times yes! If you’re going to emulate a writer of Classic Who, first choice should always be Robert Holmes. At the very least, Terrance Dicks, as then  you can tell a cogent story. I did think during the episode that the characters Chibnall seemed to be writing the best for were the Daleks. Since the Daleks…

My favorite part was when Robertson decided to betray the Doctor to the Daleks as part of his evil plan to extend the running time of the episode.

The thing I most admired about the trailer is that it admitted it was bilingual. Considering that they could have cut the whole thing, as many others have done, so that there was only English dialogue or indeed no dialogue at all, this one goes ahead and states “Yep, there’s gonna be reading.”

The political sketches have been bad for 45 years. Never forget that in the early days, Chevy Chase’s insightful political commentary as Gerald Ford was falling down a lot and when Dan Ackroyd played Jimmy Carter, he didn’t even bother to shave off his mustache. It was only with Joe Piscopo (and later, Harry Shearer) t…

As an Episcopalian, I will say that this is indeed correct dogma. Episcopalians are not allowed into heaven but we do get to attend an absolutely lovely garden party on the grounds outside.

I am genuinely excited about this, though not quite as excited as when they got Tom Baker.

I misheard the fish’s name as CJ and was hoping for him to speak to Hargreeves thusly: “I didn’t get where I am today floating upside down on my back, Reggie!”

Will next week quote all the crimes of Elagabalus in elegiacs? And will we then floor peculiarities parabolous in conics?

Lady Ante-Meridian! They only perform in the morning!

1) The title of the episode is Theatre des Vampires, which may have been lost due to trying to put all the funky little accents on it.

The “problem” of The Winter’s Tale, in case anyone is interested, is that the first half of the play is a tragedy about a jealous king. The second half takes place sixteen years later and is a comedy about rednecks (or the 17th century English equivalent thereof). The problem lies in reconciling the two halves, as the…

I thought Carol was supposed to be a Deep One, as in Lovecraft’s Shadow Over Innsmouth, which would explain why she was living in the sewer.

Please let there be a scene in which the Reverend tries to disguise himself as Prince Frederick (or vice versa) and someone else says “How could anyone possibly believe you were the same person?” (A Young Doctor’s Notebook burn)

Ah, yes, the two most romantic words in the English language: spousal privilege.

My favorite moment in the episode is when Mike prepares to McGuyver a phone battery charger, has all the materials set up, and the nice lady goes and hands him one. Suggesting, of course, that there are times when all the elaborate plans one makes really aren’t necessary.

“Well, this is my sister and this is my daughter. My sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter!”

So Rassilon is now Tectuen and the Celestial Intervention Agency is now The Division and The Doctor is an alien from a distant planet, but a different distant planet. Chibnall gave us the episode that changed everything, that simultaneously changed nothing. Oh, and Gallifrey was destroyed, again. 

My favorite bit in the story of Brendan and the O’Kents was the shot at Brendan’s retirement, which, in order to show that time had passed and it was now the 1970's, had a police officer with such an Afro that I thought Dean Learner had joined the Garda.
