(Except that now I'm going to expect the Doctor to swear all the time.)

I'm kind of hoping.

Do we find out who the companion is?

Still Clara, for now.

Capaldi was so awesome in that horrible Torchwood miniseries.

Children of Earth was amazing! What didn't you like about it?

I mean horrible in "HOLY SHIT THAT RIPPED MY GUTS OUT AND WILL MAKE ME CRY FOREVER" kind of way. So, horrible is a good thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(Except that now I'm going to expect the Doctor to swear all the time.)

Or at the very least, some really hilarious mashups.

Ok, that makes total sense now.

Oh, thank god. I was all "Why is Nora possessed by THE DEVIL?"

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

Calling past 12 to tell me you'll be late for *your* scheduling of "between ten and eleven" is so fucking unprofessional. At or by 11:30 is when you call. Not after noon. Especially when you estimate incorrectly.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I thought the general plot of "Children of Men" was okay, but the character writing was really off. It's almost like they decided: oh, let's kill a couple of characters. How can we do this? THIS is how.

I'm with le nubian. "Children of Men" was not the Torchwood I signed up for.
