First his assertion that problems can’t get solved unless the US and China agrees. This is a foolish statement, that suggests that we have to get Chinese approval or corporation on any move we want to make. Really dumb statement.

Now if we can get them to help on things fine but to suggest that without them we can’t solve problems is just nonsense.

Secondly he is talking about the freedom of the internet and how a totally free internet is a plus, he explained that an uncensored internet forces him to hear opinions that he might not agree with. Considering his administration’s full scales attacks on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh his statement is a real joke.

I swear to God this guy doesn’t believe that videotape, google or youtube exist.

We are rapidly reaching the point were it isn’t worth listening to what he has to say since rational people will assume he will be speaking idiocy.

Remember we did this to ourselves, the government we deserve.

decision to go for it on 4th & 2 on his own 28 with a 6 point lead and 2 min to go was the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in the game.

That is the closest thing to someone trying to throw a game that I’ve ever seen.

The episode was pretty good but had one large plot hole that you could drive a truck through.

The first issue is the problem itself. It is a problem he has faced before and it is very strange that he doesn’t remember what he was once told.

One could argue that the hole is due to the Doctor’s hubris as he gets beyond himself. He has been in this position before but recognized it for what it was, but of course that was in the days of Tom Baker, truly his finest era and he hadn’t suffered the traumas that affected both his 9th incarnation and his current self. Thus he skips the obvious solution (as per the Marian Conspiracy) and it leads to issues as he passes on his fatalism to another.

As you can see I’m doing my best to avoid spoilers, the episode is first rate television and likely leads to what happens in those last two episodes.

Although the plotting is great and you will appreciate this episode I think I will be very happy if the 11th doctor becomes once again a happier traveler.

…one the show is done and the proxy is set up it’s off to the BBC site to see it.

Countdown to the 11th doctor is in progress. Matt Smith will have a tough act to follow but lucky for him he is also getting the best writer from the series.

I’ll let you know what I thought.
