You could just skip a step and set fire to your money. It would all look the same to me.

For the most part I ignore any of the nonsense that people request be made canon. If it was in a piece of fiction written and published by Greg then that's fair game. If it was suggested by someone on the internet then I turn my head away and sigh. I think it went from a competition or two, to people rushing to leave their mark on the Bionicle universe in some way.

People seem to consider it a good substitute for humour. I'm not sure I see why.

I say go for it. Both Time Heist and The Caretaker were by far a low point in the series, and Kill the Moon is a few steps up but also a couple of steps back at the same time. It has some strong moments for the relationship between Clara and The Doctor that I feel probably shouldn't be missed. That said, Mummy on the Orient Express and Flatline are by far the best episodes in a long time and I'd strongly suggest catching up on those. The Forest of the Night, or whatever it was called...yeah, you can probably skip it. It was a nice idea but wasn't exactly executed brilliantly. And frankly, I'm loving the series finale so far. It's by far one of the best we've had in a long, long time and just more proof as to why Doctor Who needs more two-part episodes again.

Why do we even have to resort to labeling a bunch of people just for their opinion? Calling anyone an "ohwunner" is a pretty dumb thing to do, if you ask me, since it suggests a very close-minded approach to why someone might not like the new line. Why can't they just be someone who preferred Bionicle from 2001-2010 and is simply not interested in what Lego has to offer this time around for reasons that they appreciate but others don't seem to?

In fairness, whilst 11 showed no signs of despising soldiers, 10 had a pretty prominent disliking of weaponry and combat as well. It disappeared during Matt Smith's run but seems to be making a comeback now. If we want to interpret character motivations, then perhaps we could postulate that 10 grew to hate all things that involve killing and became "The man who never would" (a dumb term) because of his PTSD from the Time War. 11 would then completely do away with this character trait because The Doctor was regressing into a more naive and child-like form of himself to escape the pain of what he did. Then came the events of The Day of the Doctor and the Doctor's actions were mostly reverted. He was saved of his guilt and later became 12, who after his time on Trenzalore was sick of fighting and war and combat, and grew to hate all things soldiers. I'm not going to pretend that it does seem fairly out of left field but I can see where the writers are coming from on this one. Points B, C, and D are completely legitimate. They're some of my biggest problems with the series right now. I won't even bother addressing those since you already did a pretty good job. Because he is. That happens when the Doctor regenerates. Not only his appearance, but also his entire personality and his outlook on life changes. When 8 was dying, he wanted to become a warrior and so he had that wish granted, completely doing away with his prior fears of guilt over combat. 10 was well versed in human culture and would even reference our media from a major movie such as The Lion King, to an evening-time soap opera such as Eastenders. Compare this with 11 who thought that football was "the one with the sticks" and had a strong disliking of the taste of alcohol. I'd say the Doctor changes because with each regeneration comes different priorities in his 2,000 year old mind. From 12's "planet of the pudding brains" comment it's obvious that he doesn't hold humanity in as high a regard as his predecessor 10, which is fairly acceptable given he's, as we've already said, 2,000 years old. He's busy adventuring and doing equations on his chalk board so it's obvious that his mind is elsewhere when it comes to social norms he was once aware of. Most of the time when he "insults" Clara, he never shows any intention of doing so. He seems his same old scatterbrained self that he's always been and I think that's fine. Again, consider the situation. He doesn't have to be nice to her. He's just had his entire reality shattered by the knowledge of other worlds teeming with life. He was nearly killed a few minutes prior, and now his girlfriend has revealed that she's living a double life in which she encounters that kind of situation on a daily basis. I find your desire for him to be calm, measured and practical to be a little unrealistic. Also that last comment was your interpretation so I probably won't say anything on that. The episode was mainly written by Gareth Roberts. No association with Sherlock.

Finding out your girlfriend is an alien-hunting time traveler is kind of a big deal. I mean, at a guess. It's not what the average, run-of-the-mill relationship encounters. When she's refusing to talk about it, I think you're fairly justified in deciding you want little to do with it. If anything, I would say that he took it pretty well. He's actually fairly tolerant. Again, I don't really see a problem here. It's amusing. There's no shortage of people saying that either Clara or Jenna Louise Coleman is good-looking. Danny does it, the media does it. The show emphasises that the Doctor is in the wrong whenever he does it. It's not even really insulting, it's just playful banter born of the fact that people seem desperate to ship the Doctor with his companions, so now the writers are creating a pretty clear divide. I like that the Doctor doesn't understand the nuances of flirting anymore, because both 10 and 11's constant romantic inclinations towards other characters got incredibly frustrating. Frankly, I have issues with series 8 so far and none of them are what you brought up. Of course it's not perfect, because very little is. But I'd actually say it's one of the best series since 5 and I'm fairly confident that unless something massively horrible happens in the final two episodes then it will maintain a high place on my ranking list.

Meh, I have no issues with this. The show is usually at its worst when it focuses on the Doctor, because it kills all sense of tension. I couldn't have been less involved with the Series 6 arc, because unless the stars have aligned and Cthulhu starts lumbering out of his watery Premier Inn, the Doctor obviously wasn't going to face his final and ultimate death. The same with The Time of the Doctor. It was pretty darn obvious something would jump out of nowhere and help the Doctor to regenerate because otherwise the show would be over. And that would mean the money the BBC makes would be over and I sure don't see them letting a cash cow like this go following the hype built up by the 50th anniversary. Heck, the only time when the Doctor being in peril was genuinely surprising was during The Stolen Earth when Ten started to regenerate right before the credits rolled. Almost nobody who didn't routinely scour the web for leaks could see that one coming, and that's what got people excited. Unfortunately Moffat likes to think he's cleverer than he is and that he does the unexpected, but in reality what he does is just trite and typical. Ultimately, the point I'm trying to make is that companions come and go, but The Doctor is a constant that must remain for the series to go on, and the BBC isn't about to let that happen. And so for the sake of drama, I'm happy for the episodes to be companion-centric because that keeps them fresh and interesting. That and the companions were always meant to be the centre of attention, because they're the audience surrogates who ask the Doctor "What's this?" and "What's that?" and get him to explain everything in basic terms that the general viewing public can understand. So long as he's still there to do so, I don't see the problem. Of course, it could still be more interesting. I've never found the drama in a relationship to be a particularly pulse-pounding part of the show, at least not to the extent where it deserves to be centre-stage of the story. This Skovox Blitzer was apparently one of the greatest weapons ever created and for some reason it deserved to be in the background under Clara's angst over the Doctor and Danny meeting. It took the wind out of the episode's sails as a result, and just felt like a massive missed opportunity. I'm not upset that the episodes have been Clara-centric, I'm upset that the fact that them being Clara-centric has caused them to be more soap-opera than science fiction.

I will be so disappointed if it turns out to be a continuation.

This happens every single time I try to nap. I guess I kind of deserve it for going to sleep at 5am or the like, but hey. Whatever.

^Gosh darn it, beaten to the punch.

Good grief, Bionicle returning? I'd never heard of such a thing! Whatever. It's not like I wanted to pay rent or anything.

Not to mention the scene in the bus shelter during the torrential rain. I cringed about as often as I laughed and given that's what the show wanted me to do, I think it did a darn fine job.

Ah, board messages. I remember when they had a little more personality. And bubble wrap. Lots more bubble wrap.

I'll be honest, I know plenty of groups and fandoms that like to team up on individuals the moment they differ from the norm. It's both ironic and unfortunate that it ever happens in the MLP fandom, of course.

Oh yeah, it's stuff like that that really made the game for me. It's such an unlikely mix, Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton, but the two worlds blend together so seamlessly that you'd almost think it was planned from the start. I don't know what the inspiration for this crossover was, but I sincerely hope it strikes again sometime.

I notice it's finally been released in Americaland now then. Without wishing to spoil anything, my reaction was more or less the same and yet there was a lot that soured the experience for me. I'm so glad everything about it happened, I just wish it was handled a little more carefully.

You mean how does he live to be 2000 when he has such a tendency to die a lot? Well the important thing to remember is that even the Doctor doesn't remember how old he is. As he says in Day of the Doctor, he can't tell if he's lying anymore. We barely know how old the first Doctor was before he set off with his granddaughter. Then we have to call into question how canon we consider the audio dramas, because if so we can add several hundred onto 7's run. 8 had almost as long with another several hundred years. 11 survived for 900 years on Trenzalore, let's not forget. Really, the Doctor's age doesn't matter at this point. What matters is that he is incredibly old and yet still looks pretty darn good for his age.

Welcome back! Not much has changed beyond the arrival of the Vargons.

I've already gotten all the mileage out of my 3DS to acknowledge that it was money well spent. At this point it's starting to hurt my hands, and with all the games I still have yet to play I'd rather play that on a bigger screen than all cramped up and tiny.
