Well if Tennant's Doctor died and regenerated into another Tennant in Journey's End that means Tennant One died gawping at his girlfriend when he should have been watching the road for Daleks.
Not quite as bad as falling over and banging his head like Colin Baker but hardly a noble sacrifice. |

Anything featuring 'dwarves' has been influenced by Tolkien.
The plural of 'dwarf' is 'dwarfs': Tolkien changed the spelling. |

There's a lot of Lord of the Rings in both - and Tolkien drew on King Arthur and Grendel.
Dumbledore = Obi Wan = Gandalf = Merlin. |

I suspect the whole Star Trek reboot was a Terminator-like plot to prevent the birth of Weasel Crusher.
The destruction of the planet Vulcan was acceptable collateral damage. |

There's a line in This Island Earth where someone 'explains' how the cat got it's name:
'We call him Neutron because he's always so positive'
Wrong, on so many levels! |

My favourite Doctor Who writer of all time was Robert Holmes and at one time he was in the police.
I bet he got called 'Sherlock' sometimes. |

| Many aspies are excruciatingly rules oriented , that includes rules of propriety. So yes, it can be distressing, often because we don't understand when and how it is OK to break the societal rules. NTs instinctively have a good grasp on life's 'artistic license' . Does that make us prudes? Pretty m... |
