Also, if the Doctor couldn't survive by regenerating(which was explicitly stated), likely River couldn't either.
She didn't even touch her pumpkin. It's a freak with no face.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Would Divine discussion belong here?
At 10 EST tonight a new web series begins. Stars (co-stars?) Misha Collins. Sounds like there's supernatural elements.

Wow. I don't quite know how I feel about that episode of Doctor Who. A whole lot of WTF moments, but not much that adds up to real character development or forwarding of the plot. I did kind of like that they just left Hitler in a closet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think it might have been that the writers wanted to get off of the Melody-River plotline, so they needed to wrap this section of that up in one episode (Find Melody! Oh, we did. And now she's grown up and needs her space...'kay...). That way, they can go have other adventures.
That they put themselves there in the first place is a whole other thing.
I also have deeply mixed feelings about the choices they made around the inter-racial regeneration.

Why did Melody decide that she needed to start wearing jumpers in her new fab body? I thought that was a sweater?

They accentuate the bustline.

I liked that they showed that inter-racial regeneration is possible. I'd love to see Chiwetel Ejiofor as The Doctor.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I thought she said johdpurs, since she was All About Her Ass.

Johdpurs makes sense.
Divine was . . . short. Very short, and the one female character is played by a terrible actress, but I could watch Misha have a wordless existential crisis of faith all day.

Vortex, the positive feelings, I think, are pretty obvious, but did she have to be the juvenile delinquent sociopath? I may be being over-sensitive. I was going to post being all "yay! precedent for open season on ethnicity for regenerations!" and then thought "well, but...bus-jacker."
