The pre-credits part was really well filmed and my s/o was getting really scared by the bedcovers scene so at least the horror parts were done really well.

I think i'd have preferred the young doctor scenes to have ended with Clara getting him to go back to bed then not having the Clara's Big Emotional Speech bit, 'cos it was too overly labored. But overall I liked it.

Has it ever been established why The Doctor took such a liking to Earth and hangs out there more often than not? I know he protects anyone he can, but this place seems to have taken a special place in his heart.

I think its covered in eps between nov 1963 - current day

I generally feel that the m-word is overused, that overuse of 'misogyny' dilutes it's meaning in circumstances where 'sexist' is more accurate... but the constant belittling of a woman (particularly of her appearance) is such a key component of abusive relationships (the intent being to destroy her self-confidence and keep her from believing that she can do better) that it's really difficult to read these constant put-downs as being anything different. It's been present in every episode this season and hasn't really been in the past, and it's kind of hosed.

Theres a word for sexist towards women tho, so people should use that.

I recently rewatched snowmen and it was actually a really fun episode to rewatch. It really gave a wonderful sense of magic and fairytaleness to the doctor that was really charming

Though, The Shakespeare Code does stand out in my mind as an episode that wasn't just bad, it mad me embarrassed to be watching. All episodes where the Doctor writer masturbates over some historical figure are like that, but The Shakespeare Code is excruciatingly poorly executed to boot.

Care to elaborate? I'm not saying you're wrong or anything like that, I'd just like to hear your thoughts in general on what didn't work across the season - did the season-long plot not resonate with you? The characterization? The structure of the episodes or even the general aesthetic. Or was it as simple as the show simply just didn't click with you this season?

The thread gets (bizarrely) accused of hive-mind consensus views a lot, so it'd be nice to hear a deeper discussion of the reasons why and how the season didn't work for somebody familiar with the show who watched the whole season and was left feeling it was flat.

I'm going to bed now but will try and piece something together tomorrow

I'm considering doing a Regenerated Dr Who Toxx Guessing game, but either I need to find a way to make score spread out more or run it over a longer period of time. Currently I'm wondering about running over the duration of the Amy/Rory Companionship so 2 and a half season. Thoughts? General feedback?

The main issue is that one season doean't give too wide a point spread so the scores are too clustered. With just one season its too likely there are muliple tied scores, especially if more people join.

I'll step in and say this is a bad idea, if only because there's no guarantee either one of us will even last that long.

I could take three seasons. And if you break off early decide what to do on what things look like at the time... Unless you're hinting that he got really angry at journeys end
