No, please leave DC out of this.

That's the rumor, ever since it was revealed she had been in talks with Marvel about an unnamed project.

Semantically correct. However, when one thinks of UNIT, one thinks of the guy that lived with them for five years: Jon Pertwee. So where was her frilly shirt and smoking jacket? The obvious answer isn't that she was "pulling from UNIT history" and was instead merely a placeholder for fourth-wall-nodding to "fans",…

Agreed. I got no problem with The Director. She's a legacy character, a decent actress, and had already established her character in POWER OF THREE. She's also been a longtime character in the non-canon apocrypha of the franchise, so it's nice they canonized her. The Scarf Girl, though, was something I thought we…

So, then Moff gets none of the credit for how awesome MUMMY was, right? It works both ways. If he takes credit for the good, he has to take his lumps with the bad.

I really hope it's not that……..that. It would fit with the "simple theme beating you over the head with an anvil" of this entire season. But, man. I'm really hoping it's not that obvious and simple.

Right….Director Katherine Lethbridge-Stewart (blonde older lady) is running a PC-ed version of her father's team, UNIT.

I suggest a fun game: do compare-and-contrast with which people are
bitching about FOREST OF THE NIGHT and how many of them are the same
ones bending over backwards trying to defend the exact same mediocrity
of KILL THE MOON or LISTEN in weeks past?

Sorry about everyone. They're basically dealing with having their eyes opened to the "Emperor with No Clothes" theme of this season by suffering through a particularly mediocre episode this week… ;)

LOL! D'oh! ;)

No, Scarf-Girl isn't The Brig's Daughter. Vanessa Redgrave is The Brig's Daughter. Scarf-Girl is the one with the glasses and inhaler.

Nope, wasn't talking about the Brig's Daughter. I was talking about Scarf Girl. Re-read my post.

But that doesn't change the point that YOU didn't pay to read it. Even if he is getting paid to write it, the only obligation he is under is to meet the requirements set by his employer. Since we're not paying him, he's not under any requirements to be "objective" or "fair" or whatever. He's writing a subjective…

"As a long time reader, I have a right to point out…"

And the kid asked what the "round things" were in the console room….

So, this was its Name of The Doctor, then? ;)

I know. I'm surprised people give a shit about her, as well. She's just another one of Moffat's Female Duo teams. I'm waiting for her and the Brig's Daughter to be revealed as hooking up on the side…

I propose a TORCHWOOD with Jack and Gwen, but an entire new cast made up of ex-Companions and a few new characters. Use that show to utilize the history and canon of Doctor Who, while leaving the core show itself to cover all new ground. Shelve the Cybermen and Daleks on the main show for awhile, and let Jack's…
