Handles?? So any guest-star of any episode counts as a Companion now? : /

LOL! It's not "built" to piss me off. But it sure is built for fans that aren't me. ;)

Tegan's Aunt Vanessa…

"Never touch…never trust…gimmicky gadgets!" - 4th Doctor (who obviously doesn't appreciate the early 21st century of iPads and etc.)

This explains a lot of probably what rubbed me raw, then. I adored MUMMY. But FLATLINE fell flat for me. I've been burned out on Moff's stuff for about two seasons now. I'd wager this, and the Clara-centric nature of the whole thing, was what got me.

No, but he would be a welcome Companion.

It was….okay. The Ainley Master had allied himself with Adam, giving him the ability to go through time and kidnap all of his companions. Not enough meat to the story, though.

…did you write that? And if not, please let me know where the rest of this story is. I'd never put Adric's demise into that perspective before. Well done, man!

Oh, I don't deny your point at all! In fact, I totally encourage and agree with it. I'm just, as always, in awe that a show I started watching when I was six years old is still going 35 years later. Not even Star Trek can claim something as fundamentally true as that.

As I said, I love that it's been used sparingly. A positive move, as far as I'm concerned. But the jump from what it could do for the first 42 years of the show, to the "magic wand" it's become in the last eight isn't an "over the millenia" type of thing. The Sonic couldn't do anything more in the entire run of the…

Hmmm. Technically, I'm okay with that. What I've really never been down with is the idea that the TARDIS/The Doctor "chooses" to keep it a Police Box. That seems like an excuse to maintain a copyright/trademark, when there used to be a valid reason for such a thing other than "just cuz". I always saw that Colin…

"Most of the time" was the end of my statement. Search long enough and you can find exceptions for anything, depending on what you want to believe.

Your opinion is noted. Meanwhile, I am not responsible for your personal perception on things. Don't like what I say? Don't read it. Don't agree with my points? Feel free to debate them. Meanwhile your opinion on how you read words freely and honestly presented? Yours alone. It's not my responsibility to make you feel…

LOL! Yes, of course. Speaking of "pseudo-intellectuals", it's always fun to watch the ones who take the time to reply to my post by taking personal shots at me, while ignoring the subject of the thread or any points of discussion made within. Thank you for piping up and letting me know how important I am to you.…

Agreed. Although, I think Capaldi is really starting to gel with his Doctor, and with the right writer, his temperament is balanced instead of exaggerated (kind of how Tennant stopped being so ineffectually shouty after his first season). It will be nice when the show actually gives him a little focus once Clara is…

Courtney is the new Sabalom Glitz….

No, I apologized for overreacting in my review of the episode and being too nitpicky, after Much Loved Character and Liebkartoffel discussed it with me in this comment section. But nowhere have I "insulted" you, unless you believe your opinion is so sacred as to not withstand dispute and debate?

My bad. I meant the toy itself, not the actual model prop in the episode.

Okay, I'll buy that line of reasoning. Doesn't mean I don't think it hasn't been way overused for the first seven years of the revival.

I think that makes Clara the new Peri and Danny the new Kamelion….
