The one line #11 (Matt Smith) said that will forever cement him as one of my favorite Doctors was when he exclaimed, "Dinosaurs On a Spaceship!" with absolute delighted glee on his face. It was SUCH a Doctor thing to say! Super old dude still able to view the universe with childlike wonder. That's what Matt Smith brought to the character (right from the beginning in Amelia Pond's kitchen) and that's what I'll always love about #11.

Yeah it’s one of those roles that, after a certain actor puts their own spin on it, you can never see anyone else being that character. It’s kind of like how we now know that Will Smith turned down the role of Neo in The Mattix. After seeing Keanu Reeves as Neo, it could never have been anyone else.

Well, there was the musical/opera episode of 'Xena' that was much better than I would have expected it to be. And Ulvaeus and Andersson (from ABBA) had created the musicals "Chess" and "Mamma Mia", so they've had some success at it before. Now, let's see a musical version of 'Space Battleship Yamato' first (kind of like the musicals of 'Sailor Moon' and "Revolutional Girl Utena').

If anyone's interested: Wilhelm Reich was a real person, and he was Sigmund Freud's pupil, albeit the wacky one Freud disowned somewhat (as opposed to Carl Jung). Cloudbusting was inspired by a book called A Book of Dreams, by Reich's son Peter, about their relationship and Reich's treatment by the FBI. I'm not going to say whether or not it's actually possible to induce rain with an orgone gun, but I don't think they should have thrown Reich in prison and burned his books.

Was this around the time of Kristina? Would BAO have gotten involved? What do you mean they're Torchwood fans!!!!??? I can imagine something similar to the sound of Inga Theme working really well for a Torchwood score. Would Björn, a man with a better grasp of the English language than most Brits, have written the lyrics? Did B&B start to work on any of the music? I need to go through their entire discography and put together what I think a Torchwood musical would sound like 😂 Russell, please can we make this happen with Ncuti's Doctor!?!?!

5:23 I didn’t know that fact about Kate Winslet, but it’s really interesting. Funny enough, she wouldn’t have been the first Oscar winner on Doctor Who. Several Doctor Who actors had been nominated through the years, but the very first academy award winner to be on the show was Peter Capaldi in 2008’s The Fires of Pompeii. He won an academy award in 1995 for Best Short Film. Later, Olivia Coleman, who played Prisoner Zero in 2010’s The Eleventh Hour won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2019.

I really wish we had seen more of the subwave network. My favorite part of series 4 and it's finaly was how big the group had gotten. Of course he still had his main companion but on top of that he had Jack, Martha, Sarah Jane, Torchwood team, unit and Donna's family all on earth ready to help him. It all felt so much more connected knowing that whenever he returned to present day earth he could run into old companions. We did get a similar thing when Vastra connected people through a dream but Clara and River were the only big characters. I just wish we had seen more of Martha and Jack meeting and helping the doctors older regenerations. It would have kept the world more connected. Now whenever the doctor loses a companion or regenerates it feels like starting from scratch but in Tennants era we always had Jack and Martha to keep in connected.
