All the "The ____ that _____" is really trodden at this point. I'm dreading those episodes simply on title alone.

Besides the first two, none of them sound particularly interesting either.

This is the most "Jaded Doctor Who Internet Fan" comment I have ever loving read.

Ugh
Is it? Yipes.

Not really jaded, I just enjoy titles like 'Kill the Moon' or 'Mummy on the Orient Express', something that instills an image of what excitement the episodes gonna have. It's why I like the first two titles. I suppose last season just really nailed it (for me) with the episode titles.

Stupid used up formulaic titles are as much a part of doctor who as transgendered timelords. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't have any more "...of death" episodes, or "the robots of blah" or "the aliens of something"?
Naw. Those things would be rad, as they get you pumped for robots or aliens. "The Girl who Lived" and similar titles that include pronouns as the subject and dull verbs don't really have any effect. Going back though, it does seem they haven't used that as much as I thought they had for titles, just for characters.

It's just my opinion folks.

Lady doctor! Neat! Also, bout' time. Hope she kills it.

Weird that any fans of the show would have any issue with it given the whole premise/character/morals of the show.

Counterpoint: hey why not. Seems like they're going well out of their way to highlight that this is a different actor. Not like they're Crispin Glovering it.
