Both love or a sense of duty require emotion…which Danny supposedly no long had…

Perhaps you missed the ending where Danny blew himself up with the other cybermen, this time dying for real and permanently. That spherical e machine that captured his mind the first time, was not in play at the end (because he was separated from the…[Read more]

Another shipper fiesta with the cybermen in the background.

They didn’t seem threatening. Just spent a lot of time standing around.

After Clara shut Danny’s emotions off, he still had emotions and motivation to help them? The “love conquers all” theme has been overdone.

Even through Danny wasn’t connected to the…[Read more]

I was waiting in line at Chipotle’s tonight and overheard someone say that a person he knew was old because he was born in 1981.

Holy Sh*t…if someone born in 1981 is old, then what does that make me?… a mummy? or maybe a litch?

“How about this for a twist- Missy wants to help the Doctor rescue Galifrey using the Cyberman to
fight off the Daleks ?”

As I recall, the last time the Cybermen went head to head with the Daleks, the Cybermen lost by a wide margin. 🙂

Instead of shooting him outright, they often devise an elaborate means of killing 007, and then leave the scene, giving him an opportunity to escape. Or they will launch into  a long monolog giving 007 an opportunity to figure something out.

He’s a Time Lord, why not just go back in time and kill…[Read more]

I beleive physiologist would regard this statement as evidence of a co-dependent relationship. 🙂

But really, I think it was obvious before that comment that he cares about Clara a lot, and would forgive her human failings.

In any case, I didn’t expect the Mas…[Read more]

Not all of the people who die on DW (this season) show up there.
I’m guessing she’s an extra-dimensional being who is able to selectively “capture” souls, or a beings essence (for some yet to be discovered purpose). I’m also guessing that Clara is…[Read more]

You do realise that all humans – ALL humans – are primates, right? Including you (assuming your are human and not a NotVeryCleverbot

Now you’re just playing a game of semantics. You know what I meant.

Yea, I’m human.

Why not 1,000 or 3,000 years old? (or some other number)

You don’t need to be a theologian to understand what’s being implied.

But you can view things from a certain perspective to fit your own internal narrative…so we are not going to agree.

Also, that was not the only point…[Read more]

Apes are generally considered less intelligent than humans and brutish. Therefore comparing men to apes is an intentional insult pretending to be a good natured jab. Clearly you disagree, so please explain why.

It was just an unintentional typo, hardly a crime.

I’ve been a fan of Doctor Who since the Tom Baker are, and enjoyed all of the modern episodes from 2005 to last season. But this season has just been uninspiring.

The Clara character just rubs me the wrong way. She seems one dimensional. Too perfect, always right, no apparent meaningful flaws, and she really seems to have no regard for the D…[Read more]
