I also liked the nod to dads. Dad was "Not Mum" but so was the Doctor. Everyone else was just "peasants".
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

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.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved the name Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.
What does it say about me and/or this show that I thought the episode was then going to be about an evil overlord baby?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So has he been wandering around the universe for 200 years without Rory and Amy?
And, I guess, catching up with River.

Just pretty much every normal baby ever.
I would like the Doctor to time travel and meet Stormaggedon again as a mild mannered college student. Maybe take him on a trip.

Did anyone else think the kids at the end were going to be Rose and Mickey and, I don't know, Sally Sparrow? Or that he was going to bring them all on a crazy adventure? You never know with this show.

I didn't imagine that about the kids, P-C, but now that you mention it, nothing every seems to be about nothing on this show.
Speaking of such, I'm still trying to figure out where I have heard the word "Petrichor' before. I'm terrible at anagrams, but the name of the Amy's perfume has to be significant in some way.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It was in "The Doctor's Wife."

It was the word that elicited the feeling or smell or something to open... something. Wow, I have an awesome memory (which is to say, no, I don't, because I can't remember what they were trying to open!). It's the smell of freshly fallen rain on dirt, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I won't see the ep until I get home, but...

That has a name?!!

Riiight.
Check out your big brains!
I could only grasp that I'd heard the word somewhere before...not even that it was a Who word!
