I’m not sure if the warning is enough, there’s a few swear words on this, but essentially this is a brilliant look at all the times the show has done something that’s had a negative backwash.  I chuckled quite a bit.  (Please remove it if it’s not appropriate though.)

Notice the complete and utter lack o…[Read more]

Did anyone watch this thinking the whole time that Maisie’s c…[Read more]

After some odd dreams last night, I feel like I may have started to piece together some of the theories floating around but I wanted to check.  A couple of times, I have read that Clara might ac…[Read more]
