RE: Doctor Who season eight
I enjoyed this season and I look forward to what the Christmas episode will have to offer.

RE: Doctor Who season eight
Dissapointed yet again....
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

RE: Doctor Who season eight
Am I going to get stoned to death if I say I actually liked this season a lot? Tongue It's had its weak points (Robin Hood cough cough), but it felt overall very exciting and different from the Smith era.




Anyway, did anyone notice that in Dark Water, when Chang sees the Doctor's psychic paper, he asks him "Why the swear words?"
I completely lost it at that point.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I did like how the doctor lost it and started smashing the centre console when he found out the Mistress was lying about Gallifrey. It actually showed he was capable of emotion.

Wow, I can't believe the Christmas special got such good reviews. It was pretty good but I have two complaints:

1. Children watch the show and this episode showed them that Santa isn't real.
2.
