    I'm pretty wary of this. Not because The Doctor is now a woman (I've been waiting for that) but because The Doctor isn't supposed to be dour and grim and maybe because I've only seen Jodie Whittaker in Broadchurch AND that was Chris Chibnall's baby, I'm nervous that Capaldi's time wasn't the darkest but that this will

    I agree. That said I think I mostly got hung up on some terrible decisions she made toward the end of the series.

    Not much but it is notable because the last Scot to play The Doctor didn't (David Tennant).

    Haley Atwell! That would make me SO happy.

    TV shows can still surprise people. Even the internet.

    Yes! That's Prozakk.

    I love Gorillaz but that sounds awful.

    I have loved him in every role I've seen him play. He even found a way to embed a very real soul into what could have been a very one-dimensional character on Elementart this year. It's a real shame.

    I've rewatched that episode twice and every time it truly does seem to be about abortion. Even the way the Doctor says "it's your planet, your choice" is pretty reminiscent of body rights but the WAY in which he does that by just leaving when Clara needed her friend most again reminds of the abortion issue. I.e. Just

    Again, I don't even know why the Monks cant just try again in a few months. And either way, that can't be WHY Bill did it. Given the way the "consent" rules were laid out, she could only consent by not being strategic at all. So she just did this to save The Doctor. Nothing else.

    Weeeeellllll…. there's actually a huge ecclesiastical debate about that. The central belief of Catholicism is that it is through good works - that is demonstrating respect and love for all God's creations - that one can be saved as faith alone does nothing.

    Nope. We can't. It's OUAT. No one knows.

    Oh! At some point, Elsa put up an ice wall. And there was something about another Ice Queen lady who was also Emma's other mom/sister person?

    To those people saying that being gay doesn't make it impossible:

    I have to say, the moment that there was a big button with the word 'ABORT' on it and that the Doctor said he was leaving it to three generations a of women, it became abundantly clear that that's what it was about. As a matter of fact, the first thing I did when that episode was over was post on Facebook, "Did Doctor

    That's what's so weird! If they say, "The whole world is going to die unless you consent," then it isn't actual consent.
    And if the argument is that Bill does this because she believes the Doctor will come through, then she's just like the generals and therefore in the mindset that should get her killed. If not, if

    But no. PEOPLE ARE DEAD!!! The episode makes it very clear that people have been tortured and have died and for what? For the Doctor to keep his current eyesight and body? How the fuck is that morally acceptable?!?!?!

    I'm not okay with the moral choice made in this episode. Maybe I expected something different in part because Bill mentioned the concern about slavery earlier, but I wouldn't sacrifice the freedom of over 7 billion people - notably WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT - for any one person. Myself, my mother, or for anyone else. This
