Clara and Rose are the two companions that seem superficially very popular, but who have always alluded me a little. I liked Clara okay, but kind of think she deserved some consequences for her recklessness, not her own TARDIS. Rose getting her own ready-made Doctor also seemed to cross a line for me. So the

I am not a huge fan of the romantic undercurrents they have brought into the rebooted show but I think that may be because I was an obsessive fan going back to the Tom Baker days. Nevertheless, I suppose I would like it better if they didn’t seem to have this undercurrent with EVERY companion. Part of why I liked the

Doctor Who as a whole really could’ve benefited from one less season with Clara and one more season with Bill.

I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy the digs (especially Capaldi being 1's nurse), but it did make it feel a little like we were watching a modern Who take on a historical figure that slightly romanticizes & pokes fun at the person in question simultaneously - in the same vein as Churchill, Shakespeare or Queen Victoria

The most important moment in this whole story, and arguably the entire Who canon, is so beautifully underplayed that I only caught it the second time I watched.

This. I am a low-level faculty member at a cut-rate state school and academics can be the biggest abusers of gate-keeping and rent-seeking behavior. Some will do whatever they can to usurp someone else’s shine for their own purposes without offering nothing of substance in return.

You know what came to mind after the scene with the kid and the broom? The moment in the Buffy finale when all the Potentials are fully energized.

Unfortunately, at least one of them did:

Hey! Hey 1st Amendment defenders! Here is a literal—and I know that word is used incorrectly far too often—but an honest-to-God LITERAL example of 1st Amendment rights being threatened.

It’s fake. Made up by the anti-Semitic far left Tumblrs who HATE Gal for being Israeli and have been trying to spread different rumors about her since she blew up. The same person that posted that on Medium was in the Jez comment sections last week trying to spread the story. Username was Kateri.

Don’t worry; they plan on coming out with a new cult with a much easier method of interaction with the public, based on selling the women they have collected. It’ll be called “Vendo in Nomine Domini Obsequiosum Vestrum Sororium”.
