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?

That pinged me a bit as well, but what has that got to do with Captain Jack? Do we know what time Oswin is from? Jack was from the 51st century, correct?

I sort of assumed that Oswin was from then or later or that at any rate once we get much beyond the 21st century that particular prejudice disappears.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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!
It can, and has been, moved by various peoples/creatures/creatures who are also people.

Why did you assume that? Was there a reference I missed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I don't get why you assumed this bit. We have no idea when it stopped being an issue.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I really hate that "I'm giving you up for your own good" thing Amy was pulling, So so much.
Ugh, yes. I gotta say, though, it seemed pretty consistent with Amy's character. But then again, she's probably my least favorite character on the show, so I'm perfectly willing to believe she's capable of crap like that.
I mostly liked the episode, and the reveal about Oswin worked well for me -- obvious in retrospect, but I totally did not see it coming, and I really felt for her. And although I am also pretty tired of the Daleks, at least wiping the Doctor from their collective memory is an interesting twist on their story.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'm still skeptical of the "everybody's grown beyond all that sexual orientation nonsense" premise of the 51st century. I can see society advancing to the point that no one cares who anyone is attracted to (except in a do-you-like-me-or-not? respect), but I don't think 3000 years is enough for major changes in how human beings are actually wired.
