Not quite finished my retrospective on The Krotons so in its stead have a section that I think sums it up pretty well:

http://youtu.be/-oB2KZsaAtM?t=20m12s

(20m12s in)

One of them is getting really flustered that the Doctor and his companions are not Gonds, and when a Gond finally appears on the scanner he sounds so proud that he recognises it. "THAT'S a Gond, motherfucker. I know my loving Gonds when I see them."

Followed of course with a joke about Jamie being thick.

If we never get any more of an "answer" to that question beyond the Doctor's musing about his subconscious trying to tell him something I'll be absolutely satisfied. It's a question that doesn't really need to be asked or answered.

So I'm watching the Day of the Daleks episode 2 and the Doctor just killed someone with a ray gun. When exactly did his "no guns" thing come about?

Whenever the author wanted the Doctor not to like them

MattD1zzl3 posted:

Yay, an episode i liked that didnt turn out to be "The new worst ever" in the SA thread :)

The last time this happened, Freema Agyeman was the assistant.

So the only episodes you've liked in the last seven years were Planet of the Dead, The End of Time and Lets Kill Hitler? Why do you even watch this programme any more if you hate it so much

After The War posted:

The creators said they were going for a "West Wing" feel, but since I didn't watch that, I'll compare it more to Babylon 5: backstabbing politics in the foreground, but something massively powerful and beyond comprehension just beyond the edges. It's a good way of combining the Lovecraftian scope of War Games with the Gormenghast stasis of Deadly Assassin (you listening, JaKiri?)

No, I'm not
