River Song seems to fall into that category, though.

It struck me that the episode was saying: When the responsibility falls on Clara, she can't handle it. And because she thinks she's entitled to everything, she blamed The Doctor for forcing her to pull her own weight for once.

Fair enough. I love the title A GOOD MAN GOES TO WAR, CASTROVALVA, THE UNQUIET DEAD, and my utter silly favorite: THE DEADLY ASSASSIN! Because, not all assassin's are deadly, you know…. ;)

Because he's smarter, more experienced, actually SEES the big picture, and she's an insufferable, small-minded, control freak human that was only angry because he forced her to take some responsibility for once. She actually had to take responsibility for traveling in history with him…for ONCE….and she lost her shit.…

You are a sad, sad, man. :( I'm sending Neil deGrasse Tyson to your house right now.

So, to be a fan of the show you just have to swallow any and every episode as it's told? There's no bad episodes? Everything is awesome and equal?

Especially if you take them out of context completely to have a point, eh? LOL! You couldn't be more silly.

Well since the show is only 45 minutes now, no they wouldn't spend the first 20 minutes on the Companion. But they spent the first 5-10 on Rose before Nine showed up. And they found a way to balance it where it wasn't just all about Rose. I would say some episodes slipped into a more dominant Rose category, but for…

The show in 1963 is the exact same show that's on right now. It's called DOCTOR WHO. It's about The Doctor. He's the star. He's the main focus. Nothing prohibits exploring or expanding the companion's background like with Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, Sarah, Tegan, etc. But in the end, this season has focused on "The…

That is pretty much what I said clearly. The rules of Doctor Who are set up 50 years in advance. Gravity suddenly no longer being gravity, tidal forces suddenly being and not being relevant in the same context and episode, and all the rest of the ludicrous hand-waving of known, simple, elementary physics is a…

LOL! Knee-jerk reaction much?

*brain exploding*

I agree about Courtney, I disagree about Clara. She threw a whiny tantrum because The Doctor demanded she take responsibility for traveling with him. I don't remember Rose going apeshit when Nine told her "It's a different kind of morality" in UNQUIET DEAD. Humans have to adapt to the bigger picture. He doesn't have…

When it comes to time travel and compressed dimensions for the interior and regeneration, that's fine. But, when it comes to simple physics like space, the moon, gravity, etc., it seems almost insulting that the show would assume the viewer would swallow stuff like that. Like I said, it either has some type of rules,…

Dude, it's Doctor Who. I took no offense. If we didn't love it so much, we wouldn't get so passionate about it. But thanks for being fair. :)

Watch out! Those eyebrows are killer… ;)

LOL! God, that one was horrible…. ;)

No, I think I'll stay right here and voice my opinion in whatever form I please. :)

Because the X-Files is about a team of equals. DOCTOR WHO is about a thousands-year-old Time Lord called The Doctor and the various companions he picks up and takes throughout the universe. Not comparable at all.

Carl Sagan called. He said call him, he wants to make CONTACT with you sometime. Also, Arthur C Clarke called….etc, etc. ;)
