Serial—my coworkers were obsessed with it and kept hailing it as the most brilliant thing ever. I got sick of hearing about it and never listened to any of it.

I loved that the school's team name was the "Logs" (since it's Abraham Lincoln Middle School, they're the Lincoln Logs).

My favorite part: Louis tells the boys about the white lie he told Jessica about her jeans with the six-inch zipper. And then in the very next scene, she's wearing them (and they're hideous)! An awesome visual joke.
I also loved Evan's cracking up over Naps 101.

Thanks for your response; that makes sense!

I didn't mind that Moffat used S8 to explore the Doctor's identity and conscience. He already had Eleven sort of jump into the Doctor role after only one episode of transition at the beginning of S5; I'm glad he did something different with this regeneration and really had the Doctor examine himself and reaffirm his…

Right, I thought that the "I'm an idiot" line was Twelve renouncing the arrogance that we often saw in Ten and the occasional smugness of Eleven (don't get me wrong, I loved both of those Doctors, but they could be self-satisfied at times—maybe as a cover up for their Time War guilt). He might be gruff and cranky,…
