So? Are writers not allowed to do something unless they are sure their audience actively wants it beforehand? And who decides who does have the right? If there is anyone in the world who decides who has that right, it's the show's lead writer, and Moffat is obvious more than ok with gender...

Yeah I was expecting the Rani as well, or maybe even the Doctor's granddaughter when she started talking about being abandoned by him, though I think I actually knew beforehand that the Master was turning up this series. I think they are actually going to use the End of Time to their advantage...

Read through your last few posts a few times and still genuinely can't tell whether or not this is meant to parody. Anyways, I'm actually a bit sad about gamer gate, because their's would have been a genuinely interesting discussion to have under different circumstances. Unfortunately, there...

I mostly agree, though I think I see the situation differently. I don't think Ridley Scott considers any movies other than Alien and Prometheus to be part of the universe he's working in for further films, so I think there's a good chance that anything further from him that touches on the alien...

Well I thought even in the trailers the film didn't really have a horror movie aesthetic (though the aesthetic was creepy) and looked as it was going to be too action oriented with it's set pieces (exploding/falling engineer ship and the like) to be a horror film. To be fair though, I followed...

Because its very blatantly meant for and enjoyed by 12 - 16 year olds, of which there is not a single one on the planet that has a mature, well thought out view on sexuality. Secondly, as Sarkeesian points out at the start of just about every video, you can enjoy things without agreeing 100%...

I don't really see Clara's interactions with Robin Hood and Vastra being particularly similar, and the similarities between what's happening with the crashed ship is on purpose, setting whatever the promised land is going to be. As far the episode being deep goes, the show has never been...

As I understand it, that would mean that the outcome would vary between loops over whether the grandfather dies or not. So would the grandson within a one-half probability loop where he succeeds just go on existing then?

To be fair, the show has gotten a bit more creepy since Matt Smith turned up, with the Weeping Angles being more prevalent and The Silence turning up and such. As far as a darker Doctor goes though, Matt Smith is about as light as it gets. Capaldi's Doctor does seem to be pretty unfazed when...

Responded to this argument already in the post following the one you quoted. Also, when did everyone decide that take precedent meant utterly ignore everything but this.

It's done wrong sometimes, I agree, but I also think the show is one of the few platforms to tell stories like Blink or Girl In The Fireplace, and it actually doesn't do it all that much anyway. Besides, I also mean the way it's integrated into the story in smaller ways now, like the Doctor...

To be honest I think if a show has time travel as one of it's fundamental concepts, it really should be an important part of at least some of the stories. I agree at Moffat's time travel rules being a bit iffy, but at least in episodes like Hide and Blink it was actually a part of the story...

I don't think the story telling is any weaker than it ever was. If I think back to the end of Tennant's reign, as in everything after the 3rd season other than the Silence In The Library episodes, I can't remember many decent stories, and the 2nd season also has it's fair share of weak episodes...

Internet was down for a few days, so I only got this now. I don't really think I can respond with anything I haven't already said, and to be honest I think we're arguing approaches more than ideas at this point, so I don't really feel the need to take it further than this. I will address one...

Binary in this case essentially means something is limited to two options. There is nothing binary about saying there are multiple degrees of attention to give each problem based specifically on that problem. There is when you're saying I'm either accepting your argument or completely dismissing...
