like Johnny Fever
What a wonderful episode. And no one complained, because it was so obviously a case of "Well, Johnny has permanently destroyed his system. Look at his life, do you really want to exist like he does?"
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
As I suspected, for Moffett, Doctor Who and Sherlock are basically the same show. This felt so much like a Who episode I expected Moriarity to be a Missy.

Always Anti-fascist!
Heh, heh, totally reminds me of "You're Munch--the one that took too many drugs and destroyed his brain." from Meldrick's Auntie.

I think I wish that Moffatt would develop as many high concepts as he likes but let someone else write the actual plot and dialog.
The Monstrous Regiment! Nice. In fact, I rather like that last little scene a lot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Speaking of things Moffat, Biyi and I watched a Doctor Who ep last night (a rare occurrence, she's not a fan of scary monsters), and we had a discussion about the "Next Time" teaser at the end.
Me: "Oh, the next episode is one of the highest-rated Doctor Who adventures ever. First place, on many lists."
Biyi: "Oh, I think I recognise those monsters. They're the, um... The Blinking Angels, that's it."
Me: "...The Weeping Angels."
Biyi: "Whatever."

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The Monstrous Regiment!
That made me giggle, because of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes novels written by Laurie King. The second one is called "A Monstrous Regiment of Women."

The Monstrous Regiment!
This made me smile so hard. I wonder who is the Pratchett fan.

Pratchett is what I thought of, too, but its cuter as a Laurie King reference! The internet tells me they are all alluding to a 16th century religious tract.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Actually, there was a pamphlet by John Knox that used that phrase first. Never read it, but have seen it referenced elsewhere.

Ooohhh...off to google.
I did google, but given my browser history, ALL the references I found were TP related.
