"That arachnid fellow" may become my preferred nomenclature.
Constantine - I'm very much enjoying how they are skirting the smoking ban.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Doctor Who: Really liking what they are doing so far, but Moffat has effed it up before so it's with some trepidation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I am very happy where they went with this; it was the direction I was hoping for.

Agreed. A very evil cliffhanger ending. I REALLY dislike that the first serious female Time Lord in the series is the Master but I do like how it makes things make sense.

I like how it establishes that the Time Lords can switch sexes.

Oooh, Zombie Mary Tamm just walked by my window heading in your direction. You might want to hide in the attic.

OK, in my experience. I mean Donna was The Doctor (if not a time lord, which may have been why she had to suffer the fate she did - yep, still bitter on that one). I know we've seen women from Guarifray (sp?) but I don't remember one in my somewhat limited viewing experience who was significant show-wise.

Yeah, I was even farther wrong on that one than I thought I was (the spelling, I mean).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Doctor Who: That was fantastic. I loved the callback to The Invasion.
I'd been, not exactly spoiled for the big reveal, but I was aware of the "Missy = Mistress = Master" theory, which was much better than the "she's the Rani" idea.
