Yes and no? This iteration of The Doctor spent half his life NOT on earth, but on Trenzalore, which he did defend so if any place was his adopted home it was Trenzalore. The Doctor is more like a visitor who keeps returning to his favorite vacation spot. The only time he stayed on earth was when he was forced to by…

But he did. Clara said they didn't have to worry because they (or at least he) had gone to the future and the moon was still there, end of problem. The Doctor pointed out that there was something that looked like the moon hanging out where the moon belonged, but he couldn't say if it was the moon, or a hologram, or a…

And I do understand that now. We all live in our own culture and in America the attacks on reproductive freedom are omnipresent. I'm really glad that things are so settled in the UK that there wasn't a reason to even think of this is terms of abortion rights. I wish that was true here in America.

I heard it as of the United States, mostly because all I could think was that would require a change to the Constitution, and after all the brouhaha about President Obama being a Kenyan usurper, there is no way they are changing the Constitution any time soon, especially if there is a chance in hell of a black female…

The same thing I would put in if it was a Swedish corporation that came to the moon, a flag and pictures of the astronauts families.

The thing is, they repeatedly called the unknown creature a baby. They used that symbolism, not that this is a dangerous creature that might destroy the world. I'll be honest, if the language had changed to creature and we had not had Courtney, in particular, saying over and over "but you can't kill a baby!" I would…

Except he told her he didn't know! I mean it's stupid and disingenuous that The Doctor could know that the fate of the Mars expedition was a fixed point in time that could not be changed but whether or not the mood blew up (hatched an egg, left another egg in it's place) isn't a fixed point in time. But basically, The…

She should have been and started out that way. Then she became someone who was brainwashed into having her entire being and mind revolve around The Doctor. I admit, I wasn't that attached to River, so I don't remember a lot of her episodes, but I don't remember her standing up to The Doctor even as strongly as Donna…

And apparently in the next few years The United States changes it's constitution so that non-native born Americans can become President. And it does it so that a black, female, British subject can become President. That part had me laughing myself silly.

And she wasn't whiny about having to make a decision that could affect the human race and another race (see the Ood) or save one small family (see Fires of Pompei).

Because the idea that the baby always, always takes precedence even over the life of (in this case not only) the mother is exactly what pro-lifers espouse. Plus they had Clara demanding that people not be responsible for making choices that will affect them and their race, but instead defer to someone (male) who is…

Well I thought that sucked six ways to Sunday. it started off just fine, tense and interesting. The Mexican stereotypes were ridiculous. The suddenly we got a Right to Life screed telling us that even if the life of mother is in danger abortion is wrong, wrong, wrong and if you even consider it you are destroying the…

Simon.

I actually didn't get the feeling that she wanted the writer to kill Marian. She could have had Marian dead simply by getting the hell out and letting the monster kill Marian. Everyone else was unconscious, so no one would have known to blame her. I actually kind of like the idea that she finds the writer and tells…

Which is confirmed by the closed captioning. Hey, I can't watch without CC on, I just don't follow it.

True, which is one reason I was glad? surprised? to meet her parents. I was already wondering if Courtney was something other than a normal human girl.

not a marketing department cliche of famous guest-stars. It's TV, in some way it's ALWAYS about marketing. As for overwriting the Time War, they weren't creative enough to do it, or they are going with the TW being a fixed point in time. Frankly, Gallifrey not being destroyed in the TW is parallel to the Doctor not…

And that is the pitfall of following an episode where not one but two people were "disintegrated" or "atomized" and then turned out to be perfectly alive and just transported. In order to establish the robot as an actual threat, they had to show (part of) an actual body, or people will be wondering when he's going to…

Although I'm like 99% sure Clara is Orson's grandmother, the only thing we know is that his name is Pink and that at least one of his grandparents traveled in time. The second Danny travels in the Tardis, it opens the door to Clara NOT being Orson's grandmother.

He's not really arguing against himself. The cultural norms of the American South were that black people were slaves who were slaves by virtue of being less than human. The fact that it's a cultural norm, doesn't make that norm NOT racist.
