"as proof when I sue their asses"

Glad it is back!

Wow, my first slut-shaming! Thanks for mansplaining it to me.

I get what you're saying, and maybe I'm just old, but as a woman, there are definite guidelines to how long your skirt should be in different settings. Miniskirts that short are great for going out (I can still rock mine!), but in a professional setting of any kind, they need to be a bit longer— not to the knee, but…

You can't fight Evil on an empty stomach, lady! :)

"eye[less] candy" HAHAHAHA :) Awesome! You win the comments section!

Oh goodness, I'd forgotten about all that…

Well, yes… and the Scottish stuff… true.

I think they learn to fly a TARDIS, rather than gain the ability, as it seems this Time Lord has had rather a long learning curve on flying his.

I get all that, and I don't mean to be argumentative. I understand this is a serious issue. I just don't understand how any show—referring to your comment it was "tone deaf"— is supposed to cover all the tones that anyone ever could hear. Especially when it seems we all agree it wasn't intentional, right? It seems we…

My cousin did that (taught something and coached), which I think is largely budgetary (as long as we're paying you, you also have to teach a couple of classes of whatever). I think that's still pretty common, that it's hard to get a coaching/PE only gig as a teacher. And what you said about paying for college is also…

I don't know, was I the only one whose coaches had all been in Nam? And also taught some other class like history but taught it like it was boot camp, yelling at us all the time? Maybe I'm just old. It made perfect sense to me.

Especially with skirts that short. YOU ARE A TEACHER, FIND LONGER SKIRTS.

The ten year old lonely Who fan I used to be, staring wide-eyed at Tom Baker on our little black and white tv, with no one to share it with, is thrilled everyone's talking Who now! :D

I love it when they show "drive-by" adventures— one of my favorite bits of Blink is the Doctor's and Martha's explanation of what they were doing as they ran past Sally… I don't ever have to know what that was about, "four things and a lizard" is all I needed to hear!

I thought he'd gotten into a fight *with a river* because he was, you know, an otter… and I was confusing them with beavers and thought they were making a "dam that river!" joke… but I *may* have been under the influence… :)

"There's much more subtext about it being a metaphor for the establishment duping the lower classes and making their lives miserable than some hidden racism by Moffat." This, this, this. And while they haven't chosen to reveal it, they've been alluding to him feeling quite rankled at the orders he was given by…

"Ozzie loves the Squaddie." (Which is why Clara kept reacting to it so nervously.)

And as Danny pointed out, he wasn't so much a soldier in that war as an officer.

It wasn't racist so much as "soldier-ist"— the idea that soldiers are all brawn and no brains, that all he'd care about is physical fitness and barking commands at the kids, that sort of thing. It didn't read racist to me at all, it didn't occur to me until I saw these comments.
