->''"I am starting to worry that Clara is going to turn out to be [[MyGrandsonMyself the Doctor's mother and daughter one day]], in an insane timey wimey twist that sees her fulfilling every role he has ever had in his life. My only real problem with Listen is Clara and how she is still as insubstantial as a character can be...It's getting beyond a joke now how slight this companion is, especially since [[Creator/StevenMoffat Moffat]] keeps manoeuvring her into vital points in the Doctor's life. The least substantial companion turns out to be the most important...[[{{Narm}} that's so funny I almost fell off my chair]]. Clara is now the architect of all things ''Doctor Who'' and given her opaqueness that is rather embarrassing for the show."''

->''"If there’s one thing in wrestling that seemingly never plays out in any positive way, it would be the infamous MYSTERY man gimmick. [[DynamicEntry Partner]], [[TheDreaded opponent]], [[ShockingSwerv thing coming out of an egg]], whatever, it almost always bombs."''

->''"Watching Neelix sloughing in the Captain’s chair on the Bridge is enough to make you feel nauseous. What has ''Star Trek'' come to?"''

So now not only is Lex despondent and ready to [[MoralityChain become an evil man without Lana,]] per the Christmas episode, now she's his[[SatelliteCharacter reason for living at all]]... Someone suggested to me that they're purposefully making Lana into a villain, someone to be hated. No. They're really not. The creators of this show just honestly think that she's not being inconsistent. I kid you not. When they make a character more villainous, they comment about it in interviews. There are subtle hints, like [[PaintItBlack black clothing]] and [[KickTheDog overtly evil acts]]... They really think Lana is uncontradictory, pure, and [[PuritySue worthy of being loved by EVERYONE.]] Clark has had, what, two girlfriends? Lana has had, what, six, seven boys? And all of the others just fascinated with how wonderful she is. Even a girl started killing to be in [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a lesbian alluding relationship]] with her.\\\

->''"Simply put, it's difficult to imagine any Doctor other than [[Creator/ColinBaker Baker's]] in this situation to begin with. It's telling that throughout the trial the Doctor's sole defense tends to be [[NotHelpingYourCase to yell about the injustice of it all.]] He never actually goes about saying any of the sensible things like 'you do realize that if I hadn't gone to Ravalox we'd probably all be dead'... Instead he just blusters on about ''[the evidence]'' being tampered with (on [[MoralMyopia the quite tentative grounds]] that he wouldn't do that) and objects to the entire idea of his being on trial. His reaction is defined by is egotism, and this sort of egotism is a trait unique to Baker's Doctor.\\\
The cliche is that Baker's Doctor is in many ways [[AuthorAvatar a self-portrait]] of Creator/JohnNathanTurner. This is, I think, a bit strong, but there's a strong sense in which, in Trial, he's an inadvertent stand-in for the series itself. Conceived in the afterglow of [[FanConvention Longleat]], he is a fatally flawed idea too arrogant to admit to the possibility of his failings even enough to defend himself. That only Baker's Doctor could be in this story is, in some sense, the point."''
