I think this one was worse than usual. Worst Christmas episode ever. Maybe the worst episode in new series, I can't think of a worse episode in the original series for that matter, but it has been many moons since I watched the original Dr. Who, and I never saw all of them so maybe it is not the worst Dr. Who ever. Certainly a candidate.

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.

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

Still not worse than the one about the fans. "Love and Monsters"?

Love and MOnsters was more offensive. But this was worse storytelling.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Adventures in Doctor Who with my son. We visited the ABC Shop and checked out the Doctor Who DVDs together.
Ryan [pointing to a picture of Amy Pond]: "Is that the Doctor's Opinion?"
Me: "That's his Companion, Ryan."
Ryan: "Oh. Look, that's a picture of the Doctor's ship, the Hardest!"
Me: "He calls his ship the TARDIS, Ryan."
Ryan: "Oh, it's the TARDIS. Daddy, can I see another adventure with the Garlics?"
Me: "...I think you mean the Daleks, Ryan."
Ryan: "Whatever."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That is simultaneously awesome and makes me wonder if his hearing needs to be checked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An interesting article that I agree with:

Pretty good article. I think that they've also broken their own rules about changing history way too often.

The arrogance is why I preferred Nine (we may have to revisit numbering) over Ten. Nine was well aware of his limitations and what horrors his interference could wreak. Ten, I didn't get that so much.

I agree with the article. Except the use of the word "betrayal" bugs me a bit. Good and even great actors often end up in badly written shows. "Betrayal" seems a bit strong for that.
