Did John Hurt's whole speech on what the Doctor's "regret" leads him to accomplish have no impact for you at all? Eccleston's arc is if anything even more tragic because the others decided that his entire PTSD existence was necessary to create the sort of Doctor who could sit humans and Zygons down to hash out a peace…

The line was "in the last days", and it's not out of sync at all if you keep straight that Rassilon and the High Council believed the Doctor was going to blow up Gallifrey, so they hatched their Master plan and tried to break through the Time Lock in 'End of Time'.

I don't know that it's fair to say Moffat's UNDONE the Davies era. I think he's just recognized that we've had seven years now of Doctor Emo and there are only so many stories you can wring out of that conceit. Doesn't change the fact that it was an excellent way to resurrect the series in 2005.

I think we've found this generation's Unit Dating Controversy, everybody!

I assume it was just for appearances. If anyone happened to be watching or asked, the last time anyone saw Ian he was being handcuffed by a cop.

I don't know why, but I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when the narrator of the Magic Trailer filmstrip identified himself as "Eduardo Grimm".

Alan Moore briefly broached the notion of a Time War in 'The 4-D War', a story he wrote for DW Monthly back in the 80s. Worth a read.

Terry ****ing Nation…

He means NASCAR. He's just calling it "goin' 'round in a circle tiem" to show that it's stupid. Unlike people who can't spell the word "time," who are obviously geniuses.

I had to explain "You Soloed me" to my sister and brother-in-law.

"That would lead to the Fourth Doctor needing to confront and conquer the
part of himself that attracted the Mara, which would in turn have
provided a natural lead-in to the much more placid Fifth Doctor."

Maybe over the fact that the entire relationship has grown and progressed through Jim's initiative, and Pam has been content to sit back and coast on how crazy in love he is?

To take it a step further, if we accept that humanity actually got the meaning of 'doctor' from The Doctor, perhaps we drew our understanding of the term 'master' from the Master. So really, in a way, 'master' has always meant 'colossal dick.'

In all the Gus talk one crucial story element seems to have been overlooked: the death of Tyrus! I can't tell you how glad I am that we don't have to put up with his perma-smirk anymore.

I would think the video would have to be saved somewhere, at least until someone reviewed it. Badass though he may be, I don't think Gus was capable of just watching his laptop cams 24/7. There's shit going on he'd only see on the replays.

His law degree was real, it was his bachelor's degree that was invalid because it was from Columbia. Not the university, the country. It's funny! LAUGH.

You are being a cheer-tator, Spencer!

"But, to go back to the asylum episode again, at least there the show was clearly trying to something."

The issue isn't whether Walt would kill Brock, it's the logistics of the matter.

I'd completely agree, and I'd go a step further. Given how Meg feels about the family, even if they do need her to dump on, why should she give a flying fuck? She already said when she was 18 she was considering just cutting her mother out of her life. The show undermines its own shoddy justification.
