Philosophical thought for the day… We all want to be Rory Williams, but in reality we’re all Harry Sullivan.

I think we're all Ray, with a lot of potential, probably, but in the wrong story for us and doomed to be so forgotten that we're more remembered by a nickname comparing us to somebody else.

watching Last Christmas. seems good so far, and the elves are at least to me some of Moffat's most successful comic relief side characters.

The Lego games are great, but for some reason I hadn't been paying any attention to this, and now it's instantly rocketed up to the top of my most wanted list (and not just because of Doctor Who).

I was looking at wikipedia's Series 8 list of episodes, and I noticed a thumbnail of Capaldi... Is it me or does he look a bit like an older version of Rory?

He definitely does in that picture. So although I've long past gotten over getting legitimately angry or annoyed about anything in the DW thread thank christ I still have what is probably going to be a heck of an essay post coming up after Listen. Basically I mostly adore the episode - it sold me on Twelve, it's one of my favourite Moffat stories ever, I love that you never find out if there even was a threat, and the "fear is a weapon theme" is fantastic....but the scene where Clara becomes responsible for the Doctor growing up to be a good person is easily the most "egregious sin", if we want to be hyperbolic, that Moffat has ever committed as showrunner. His whole thing with leaving his mark and having his era and his characters be IMPORTANT has manifested itself in crappy ways before, notably with making Smith 13 and aging him so loving much and Clara telling Hartnell which TARDIS take and the entire climax of Name actually, but this is the worst one. This is the one where he literally says the entire reason for this character who has existed for over half a century being the good, brave character we know is because a companion from 2000+ years in his future who has barely had a personality for three episodes is a bit nice to him as a kid. I'm not a huge DW fan, and I've never seen the old show, but how could any fan be okay with this? It's so blatantly disrespectful to the character and the show and their histories.

I think that speech was more for the audience's benefit instead of the Doctor's. Unless you think that the main reason why he wanted to find the invisible leg grabbing creatures is for them to explain what exactly they meant with all that.

Check and mate.

I don't think we entirely know how the content works on that front; it might be that the levels themselves are all part of the game and you only have to buy the characters, or it might be that you need to buy the Doctor Who minifig to play through the Doctor Who stages and whatnot.

That's why I don't accept the modern series as anything more than fan fiction (apart from season one) which occasionally puts out a good story worthy of the title. And when I'm getting all worked up over the plight of the show I remember there are lots of classic stories and good audios I've yet to watch and listen to, and I chill out.

What's the difference between the opening sequence in Name of the Doctor, and any given Big Finish story with a past Doctor? They're both insertions into the 'past' of a show almost defined by its shifting relation to its own non-canon.

Copies of all the advertising satellites that have ever been sent out. All the posters. I had a long correspondence with one of the founder programmers too, soon after it started. Although I never got to see the early days, I know it's not as good as it used to be but I'm still terribly interested.
