Yes.  Give them credit for sure for Rory's evolution.

To be honest, I think I liked Rory more than Amy. But by their powers combined, they made the best Who character, River Song.

Now watching all of the surviving first doctor eps.  I think I'm going to go through all of the classic Who this way.

So Netflix UK had season 1-6 of NuHu on it so I basically binge watched all (most) of it so I was adequately prepped for the new season. Spoilered for some actual spoilers and also for length.

What about series 7?

Also I also got a little pissed off when they announced things like "this character will leave in this episode". How the fuck is it ok or even wise for them to spoil that for us?

I'm going to fail to do so is how.

And because Netflix UK, while vastly improved since it started and something I love using and do use all the time, sucks a bag of dicks and makes no sense. It's got Saw II, and Saw VI. Doesn't have the others. Also I believe it has Insidious 2 but not the first one.

Yeah British Netflix is appallingly bad compared to US Netflix, there's almost nothing. I've read USians talking about how they have Netflix instead of a TV and that just wouldn't work here, it's got so little decent content.

Do you guys have Hulu across the pond? I think they've added season 7 on this side. Honestly we downloaded it because fuck waiting. And, you know, the big special was being shown in theaters, so we had to catch up.

They're plenty good, especially when it comes to regional shite.  Also, one of them is in Switzerland, where piracy is legal, so I'm pretty much covered (I also like the fact that the Swiss would happily tell the NSA to fuck the hell off).

yourprivatevpn.com   And even though it's €10 for 6 Mbps, it's only €15 for whatever your connexion can handle, and of course, they give discounts for paying ahead of time for 3+ month blocks of subscription time.  I may not care much about anonymity here, since it's semi-public, but otherwise, I consider my privacy to be worth the price, as well as the ability to bypass a lot of regional locks.

Well, Scottish is certainly a different accent than previous incarnations.  Welsh was a little on the incomprehensible side during the British stint of Torchwood.

Ditto that. So much that. I'm pretty sure Moffat at least wants to do it. He keeps having them show up. That's an awful lot of times for the Doctor to show up in their particular time period, both accidentally and deliberately. Just so they can be on the show and be their awesome selves.

I've got to admit, I found yesterday's episode pretty dull. I feel like the Daleks have been overused now; yes, we get they're the Doctor's biggest enemy, and yes we get they're incredibly dangerous etc. But there wasn't a whole lot of plot last night, despite the attempts to shoe-horn big drama and philosophical pondering into the episode. I'm hoping for a couple of light-hearted, not very important episodes because constant manufactured drama gets tedious.

I remember reading somewhere that the Daleks aren't actually (fully) owned by the BBC and must use them at least once an <interval, not sure what> or lose their rights to them. I don't know how true that is.
