Yea, I was worried when she suddenly became more robotic after revealing she was an android because it didn't match her appearance from previous episodes but knowing she was teasing him makes perfect sense.
Plus this is starting to pave the way for a female Doctor which is excellent, I don't expect/want Capaldi to

"a. Not all the babies. They've dome nothing"
I don't know, I was stuck on a bus with one the other day and it wouldn't shut the fuck up. Also I've seen babies steal toys and hit each other and studies show babies are racist. They're no more innocent than adults

That depends on your definition of innocent.
I was simply going by "not guilty of a crime that would be punishable by death" but you seem to be using a stronger (almost biblical) definition of innocent "completely free of any wrongdoing" which is a definition no one lives up to (not even children), so of course I

Depends on your definition of "innocent" I wasn't thinking in the biblical sense. I was thinking "innocent" as in "not deserving of the death penalty" which is what Sigourney Weaver's character was trying to give him.
If you say those college kids are not innocent so deserve to die, then everyone deserves to die and

The idea that people should be expected to sacrifice themselves to save the world is one I can't get behind.
If you're going to die anyway, it's your choice how you die and you should die doing whatever you think is morally right.
If that's letting all of humanity die too, then so be it, the human race is very arrogant

Because the team doesn't deserve it.
Either they die and let the human race continue to exist through the sacrifice of innocents or they say "enough" and decide a civilization built on murder is no civilization at all and let it crumble.
As Marty says at the start of the film "Society needs to crumble. We're all just

Yea, I liked it in general but I think he was trying to hard to find specific references.
Joss Whedon himself said they tried to lay off the specific references, it's more of a commentary on the general tropes, which he does cover in the video but he seems more interested in name dropping specific films with similar

No, they're good guys.
If the world requires sacrificing innocents to survive it's not worth surviving. I'd do the same thing in their situation, like Marty said "might as well give someone else a chance".
Why should someone sacrifice themselves to continue human life? Because life is sacred? I'll let George Carlin

Surely it would be cheaper to buy all the hard-covers at the same time. Don't they go down in price over time.
I'm not an expert on collecting comics to feel free to correct me, are you worried the hard-covers will go out of print?

I hope you're not being sarcastic but I'm worried you are. I shall hold off on a down-vote until I'm sure but I've got my eye on you.

Yea, out of the few comics I started reading with the New52, Wonder Woman was the one I kept up with for the longest.
Eventually I dropped it because I needed to save money and didn't have much free time. I should really pick it up again though, glad to hear it stays that good.
Hopefully Comixology put it on sale when

I always get those two muddled up, being dyslexic probably doesn't help.
We don't have to agree, I think the episode failed because the characters had no effect on the story and the character development wasn't enough to make up for that lack, you think the character stiff did make up for it.
Out of curiosity what did

Yea, if it does that for you then the episode is worth while.
I thought it did a few interesting things with Clara and Danny but nothing that couldn't be covered in a ten minute (or even five minute) webisode. The Doctor stuff was probably the most interesting but for me it still didn't justify the lack of stakes.
I

It can be reductive, as it's just a rule of thumb, and like I said there are films that break the rule but it takes something special.
This episode didn't have anything close to enough character work, interesting themes or emotional resonance to make up for the lack of any character agency in the story.
When all the

She's the burger designer and the burger flipper, her music is the burger.
With some other corporately owned pop stars, their label manufacture and design, the burger they just flip it.
Suffice to say I like this analogy.

But their reactions have no affect on anything. Essentially nothing they do matters, you're left watching people react to stuff happening to them with no way of changing it.
Why would you route for characters to succeed if you know they have no control over whether they succeed or not?
If a character is incapable of

Not really. I'll admit I didn't study for very long but I know the basics: Engaging characters enter a situation they have to deal with, which causes them to change.
That's according to Dan Harmon and many other scholars. If the characters can't or don't have any affect on the situation they enter then you loose the

"it's just more noise in an episode big on noise"
Yea, I'm not a big fan of the episode and that's how I saw it. As Zack Handles said (in his Hemlock Grove review), I think people are "grabbing onto the worst interpretations as an act of self-defense, because everything else was so hackish and empty".

Yea, I didn't mind it for the 50th.
That kind of silly fan service is fine for a "special" episode but if they're bringing the characters back they better do something interesting with them.
It didn't even occur to me they would be more than one-off characters, like Rose returning or a cameo from old man Tom Baker it's

Yea, I knew she was the one with the Tom Baker scarf and inhaler but I thought she was also the Brig's Daughter (which I now realize was someone else).
It doesn't help that there was so much fan service in that episode and those characters barely had any personality.
Their enter characters could be summered by "they're
