I'm sure that by now you've all heard the news that Matt Smith will be leaving Doctor Who around the time of the 50th anniversary special.

I wrote a slight variation of the following over in boji's journal, and I'm sharing it here ( Read more... )

We watched Doctor Who tonight. I'll try to post without spoilers, but leaving a certain character in the cupboard was just sloppy writing. And, yes, I get that leaving that character in the closet was probably a semi-subtle jab, especially combined with another character's remark about attending a gay gypsy bar mitzvah ( Read more... )
