The "W's" are the three words, being "Don't cremate me," not three words which begin with W. Honestly took me a second viewing too.

I do love the differences in this fandom…I might not have called that his worst two-parter but for me Pandorica Opens/Big Bang is without a doubt the best finale, and maybe best episode, this show's had since the revival, plus Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone and Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon also excellent.

I suppose, as a very pro-choice person myself, what kept me from being offended by the rather obvious abortion tones is the unknown aspect. We have a LOT of history to demonstrate what will happen if someone has a kid instead of aborting it, or vice-versa.

Oh yeah I can see that, though I suppose his eventual comeuppance in Waters of Mars only works so well because that arrogance is so thoroughly established…and Waters of Mars was brilliant so I can let somethings slide.

The funny thing is, "Robot of Sherwood" was the first Gatiss episode (including the ones he acted in) that I actually enjoyed. I went in very apprehensive because I know I'd hated pretty much all of his prior episodes and came out laughing and thoroughly entertained. Sure it didn't have as much depth as most of the…

I'm holding out for the finale. For me it's Season 5 by a nose over Season 4 with its biggest boost that IMO The Pandorica Opens/The Big Band is probably the only finale in all of New Who with a resolution that actually works.

I agree with pretty much all of your points about 10, but in defense of Human Nature, technically he wasn't actually 10 during those moments. I consider Tennant's acting in that episode probably his best during his entire run - save maybe Waters of Mars - because he feels so human during that episode's peak moments.

Meanwhile, on my end I always felt 10 was fundamentally a bit of a dick so Waters of Mars was an amazing episode for me as a validation of what I felt he had coming for a very long time.

Loved the title, hated Matt Smith's uber-hammy delivery of said title. And I LOVED Eleven.

Made the mistake of watching the Doctor Who episode "The Angels Take Manhattan" for the first time riding the train into work. Not only was I a blubbering wreck in public but then had to try composing myself for an early meeting. Barely held that together.

If you're talking about the rat-at-tat drum fill into a more electronic beat, it was Deadmau5' "FML", which I recognized instantly after the static.

I felt similarly; I missed episode 4 but wasn't quite willing to write the show off. These last two removed any doubts I had, for different reasons. Last week tied the show's story/character threads together wonderfully and hilariously. Meanwhile, though this week felt more like individual sketches, the cast and…

Same here, as soon as his name popped up I knew something big was coming, but definitely didn't predict THIS.

Yep, that's what I'd resigned myself to…the asshole was going to last until the final season and then get his after a series' worth of buildup. Definitely not complaining though.

Well, aren't basically all versions of something like Sherlock Holmes that aren't straight, Victorian-era re-imaginings of Conan Doyle's stories basically "fan fiction"? I mean, the original author's been dead nearly 90 years. That doesn't, to me, seem to imply it can't be taken seriously, or that you must stay…
