Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, they didn't smack the old people willy nilly. Rory had the same objection and Amy was all "SHE'S AN ALIEN, DO IT!!!"
I appreciated that the script addressed it and didn't just start granny wackin'.

I'm kidding. I was laughing at my own squeamishness over old people. Women can totally be threats. There should be more threatening women hit in DW!

I know. I'm just squeamish.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I once yelled at a guy "Stop saying obscene things to me! You have no right to talk to me that way! Stop harrassing me! Security!" I was in McDonalds, and this random homeless guy was talking to me. Now, I must admit that I at least contributed to the situation by suggesting that the reason that he was being ignored by the cashier was that women don't like to be called sweetheart by strangers.

I was really trying to bend that onto topic, and wondering if there was incipient violence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus a pretty great anecdote.
I didn't see that one coming....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yes but were they saveable old people! They weren`t aliens, they were hosts to aliens...ok, yeah they were threats. But I feel bad for old people!
I had to laugh at the mullet accusation, `cause, okay, true. But I had a soft spot for mullets in their heyday. So I stand by my hrmph.

Are we sure they were saveable old people? I thought they were pretty much disguises for the aliens -- that's why they'd been 'alive' for so long.
