They did sort of leave themselves open to the possibility by not explicitly mentioning what happened to his body. Though I hope not because one improbable escape from death is enough for one show.

Maybe they were doing another take on the notion of what Sherlock would be like if he were a villain: someone who uses his extraordinary mental powers to destroy people and gain great wealth and power.

What bugged me is that Magnussen decided to tell Sherlock and John that he didn't have a huge vault filled with sensitive information, that it was all in his head. I instantly figured he was a goner. If not at Sherlock's hand, then perhaps at John's or Mycroft's. It was a moment of Bond villainy that made him seem…

As a regular listener of Harmontown, I'm afraid I'll have to decline this generous offer.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I like being out of my depth. But I think other people find that situation threatening or uncomfortable.

Yeah, I love culture that requires some effort on my part to fully appreciate. I love dense symbolism and complicated mythos and obscure allusions.

Ah, The Dexter problem.

Good observations about the overlaps among those shows.

Though he was the showrunner, RTD wasn't the only one writing for the show.

Grimm & Grimmer is more like it.

I'm super excited for the second season.

But that's begging the question a bit, isn't it? The dispute is whether the Doctor deliberately invoked sexism to oust a female PM.

Is the Doctor even aware of sexism? I can't recall anything from the new series, at least, that suggests he is.

Senseless butchery. So many cats orphaned.

Agreed! The writing is definitely uneven throughout Tennant's run, but that's how I prefer to think about his character (contradictory evidence be damned).

I don't think the Doctor was motivated by sexism by making that comment. But his comment probably helped lead to Harriet's downfall because of other people's sexism.

The hypocrisy made him more human, I think. This is a man who's still trying to find his way, still staggered by the events of the Time War, but is hiding his stumbling behind swagger and mania.

Says Mrs David Tennant.

Jackie also develops quite a bit from her early days as the most loud and annoying mum on the planet. Despite the jeers it still gets, "Love & Monsters" did a great job of showing what it was like for her to be left behind by her adventuring daughter. I think she became very sympathetic toward the end of her run on…

I like how your comment suggests previous transitions have been marked by violent strife between fandom factions.
