xrevan86: > I almost forgot about the new Doctor Who season. Looking at the comments, it seems it's not that good. @commagray The first four episodes were pretty dull. Also packed with social commentary, which is painfully obvious because of the overall weak execution including the said commentary. But the fifth episode (the last one aired to date) was fun though. Pure fantasy, love it. The influence of the Classic Doctor Who is pretty obvious too, but… the contemporary popular Internet culture references are still there and as strong as ever. I was hoping they'll be gone with Stephen Moffat, but apparently not. Ugh, mediocre. I will still tune in for the sixth episode of !drwho :-). Have a Jelly Belly and allons-y!

rozzin: Read the #ThingExplainer chapter on nuclear bombs to my son @rafael this weekend. He thinks most things in that book are dumb, but sat rapt for this one. So did I. It's less like "up goer 5" and more like how #DrWho describes the Last Great Time War, and utterly terrifying in its real-ity. !parenting
