I guess it's possible to manually just pick up and move the TARDIS instead of making it transport the usual way? I probably weighs a lot more than it looks though!
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Is this why we are supposed to pick our men's clothes?
Oh, this made me laugh.
I find the new opening credit sequence on Grimm to be kind of cheeseball. But I'm loving Hank. And Monroe and Rosalee. And Sgt. Wu. And even Nick's mom although I get Alias flashbacks when dead parents show up.

So that's what the Dalek's eggbeater is for. Soufflés!
When they first arrive at the Dalek Parliament and the Doctor tells Amy to make them remember her, does that make him being erased from the Dalek collective memory kind of ominous?
I really hate that "I'm giving you up for your own good" thing Amy was pulling, So so much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I found that bit striking, especially considering how much it's mattered, the Dalek's response to the doctor. I kinda don't care for the humanizing thing. It seems more like a Cybermen or borg move. The Daleks are their own species. Or were.
Totally hate the giving you up for your own good thing. Especially considering their history, Rory would deserve a clean breakup if they were going to. It's a loss of agency that Amy, having been denied agency in the past, would surely have recognized and not propagated at this point in her life.

It's a very Cybermen thing, now that you mention it.
Creepy effect, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I was appropriately creeped out by it in the moment, but on reflection, I didn't really like it. Although maybe because it's coming directly on the tails of my rewatching the Rose/Dalek interactions.
Sigh. I miss Christopher Eccleston.

Why is Colin in the TARDIS?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Dr. Who - Only one thing to add to other comments. Why did Oswin felt the need to justify her first love being "Nina", as "I was going through a phase"? According to Captain Jack, the human race moved beyond narrow little categories when it came to sex.
Lost Girl: After being taken by the Norn, Dyson failed to carefully consider the exact meaning the words of the prophecy that was guiding his behavior. Bo actually did ask him exactly what they wolf spirit said, but I guess there were too many big words for her to notice that nothing in the prophecy said Dyson should take point.
Also no one except Bo thought of asking for the exact words? Not Kiera who managed billions in the human world and was Queen in the world of the Fae where Queen is not just a symbolic position? Not Hale who is one of the heirs to a rich and powerful Fae family? Not Trick who was once a King himself, who makes magic by writing things down that come true? Trick was not conscious of the importance of discovering the exact wording of the prophecy they were using as a guide to their next move?
I know Lost Girl is not the greatest example every of the screenwriter's art, but this particular plot hole seems a bit extreme even for this show.
Also Kiera chooses as her last words to give Dyson advice from a thousand self-help books?
