oh man I just started feeling emotional
Can we please talk about how pretty it was inside the Doctor’s mind with all that Gallifreyan in there like asdfghjkl;
I did like the visuals. I loved Warwick.

I miss the golden era of Who :( did anyone else notice how Clara had about three lines in this week’s episode? I’m not even surprised at this point.
Reblogged from An Impossible Oswald Mystery to Solve
This is a trope that, at its root, is about finding a way to cut through the Gordian Knot — a time paradox is an insoluble tangle, literally a knot you can’t untie, and you have to take a radical solution. Very literally, these stories present suicide as a kind of shortcut to get to someplace you need to go, or to get out of an impossible situation. It’s the radical solution that fixes everything.
And I worry about presenting suicide that way — since in real life, people commit suicide for similar reasons. Because they are faced with a knot they can’t untie. (Full disclosure: I just went to the memorial the other day for a friend who committed suicide, so this is currently a bit of a hot button issue for me.) Dealing with horrible depression, chronic pain, money problems and heartbreak can feel exactly like your past and future are colliding in a way that makes your present unbearable. Your days repeat endlessly and nothing gets better, and it’s a time loop you can’t break out of. So I do worry about science fiction’s habit of presenting death as the easy escape route from every insoluble paradox.

Annoyed me even more.
I’ll stop now.
This was Rosi’s favorite bit in “The Power of Three,” what was yours? Let us know in comments.

Awkward! Maybe Louis should write an opinion column for LeakyNews?
Being trolled by your own son. I like it.
