no, if anything everyone's on the incorrect side that the margaret storylines are the worst parts of any BE season, because people are dumb and incorrect and kelly macdonald is a great actress

Yeah, the Margaret storylines in BE were amazing, and I never understood the almost seething hatred some people had about them. They explored the really hosed up bullshit women of the time had to deal with, as well as issues of morality, guilt (both religious and pressure from family/society etc), sacrifice and self-esteem. Throwing in Kelly MacDonald who IS a great actress just made them some of the best parts of a sadly underrated show.

I don't think there should actually be a female doctor until Moffat isn't running the show anymore. For reasons. :colbert:

What I like most about this episode is how often you're watching scenes that you know don't matter at all. Like you're watching all these scenes about the peace talks, but you know it doesn't matter because the lizard lady's already dead and you know it's all gonna collapse when the other characters learn. But then you know the lizard lady's death doesn't matter because the lizard lady commander is already doing the coup.

Also the Doctor fistbumps the vivisectionist surgeon who seemingly took sadistic pleasure in cutting open conscious human beings, who suddenly is all about caring for the well-being of his patients.

At the start getting the audience to applaud louder by telling us that if we didn't show we liked him enough they had Colin waiting on a plane to replace him, and no-one wants that.

So if Rory never existed, does that mean that you can no longer rate episodes on the Rory scale?

Didn't this episode have some teleporter to the surface thing? Because the one thing that annoyed me with the last one was, how do they kidnap these people from deep underground? A really deep Bugs Bunny hole?

It's really masterful the way they lulled us into semi-consciousness with a dull as dirt 2 parter, and then just when you're giving a thankful sigh that it is nearly over . . . wham! Right in the Rory.
