Neil Gaiman says, "Here, let me pour buckets of untold stories and potential fic over your head. Oh, and mind if I break your heart while I'm at it?"
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Doctor's Wife: The Lost Scenes
The BBC have released two videos by The Doctor's Wife writer Neil Gaiman, where he discusses scenes from the story that he enjoyed writing for the story, but ultimately were dropped from the final shooting script:

Bizarrely, one of them is UK-only and the other isn't.
Either that or they forgot to make them all UK-only, then changed it WHILE I WAS WATCHING.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I watched them both without problem.
The name Idris is confusing me - she was Niece at first, I thought, but House calls her Idris when they show up in the control room, where did that come from? I prefer her to think of her as named Sexy because that's what the Doctor calls her, it reminds me of Tao Soup. And it's just cute.

TARDIS lady was definitely the best part about this episode. I loved the actress -- she did a great job being earnest and amazed and strange and perfectly comfortable with the Doctor.
Anyone else keep envisioning Helena Bonham Carter in the role?

Okay, that was just great fun from beginning to end, with a really spine-chilling horror sequence in the middle.
That said, I guess they blew the budget on the control rooms and the House sets, because that can not be what the TARDIS' corridors look like. Seriously? My inner Hardison is not buying it.

Barb, I'd seen that comparison before I watched the episode.....I think it was in someone's spoiler-free review.

Has this picture of David Tennant been posted?
Wow.
