Well that's just like, your opinion man. But I respect it.

TBF, it sounds like her stopping would be more because of her not wanting to fly back to Britain, Moffat seems to be receptive to her returning.

Yeah, it's different so we notice a Cyberman kills her and not her weapon.

No worries, it happens to all of us. I totally get being frustrated with not understanding the opinions of people you respect.

True, for all his super amazing morality, he does like getting his digs in whenever possible.

What a depressing episode that would be.

Yes, cause that's how I reacted to that scene in the End of Time too. (Though there were plenty of actual problems I actually had with that story.)

I too remember when Santa Claus is Coming to Town made history as the world's first stop motion documentary.

And as we all know, no one else has actually really loved that much in the history of humankind.

Was there a theme to Davies' first two seasons? I remember the repeated phrases, but not really any overarching messages.

Sorry, but he is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. I disagree with his opinion (and moreso his tone) too, but the grammar is sound.

I wish I could like this a hundred times.

Don't you dare mention the (literally) fucking sidewalk!

It wasn't a good episode or a bad episode. It was an idiot episode with box and a screwdriver.

This implies you've been bitterly disappointed to see Santa Claus before.

Hmmmm, maybe I should rewatch The Caretaker. BTW Flatline was in my top 5, cause I considered both parts of the finale one story.

I agree with most of this, but given where we are I think pedantry is appropriate. You don't think Curse of the Black Spot, The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People, and Night Terrors are mediocre? They're practically mediocrity incarnate!

It really looks like Moffat seriously looked at and deliberately addressed his flaws. The overarching mystery was intriguing, but not impressive, and Clara was fleshed out from a bland cipher to one of the most complex companions ever. I couldn't help but read a bit of self-awareness every time a character complained…

Permission denied, soldier.

And I don't care. We're all free to find different things important in fiction (thanks free will!) and I find even the most basic of scientific accuracy the least important part of Doctor Who. Certainly not important enough to overshadow how exciting I found that final scene, plus all the build up to it.
