the observation that Melina is “Sophie’s fourth best friend, who thinks she is Sophie’s best friend,” coupled with the character of Clare, who is “Sophie’s third best friend, who thinks she is Sophie’s second best friend,” a joke which says so much about Sophie.
What does it say about Sophie?

[up] That Craig is her Second Best Friend and she is her first?

(Notably, her second best friend is never revealed at all.) I assume Craig is meant to be her best friend.

That she isn't very clear about where people stand with her? That she's friends with people who assume slightly more intimacy than they have? And there's something in the reversed order, I suppose. But that doesn't seem to be very much.

“The Lodger” plays at this occasionally, most notably when the Doctor wins a video game without firing a shot because “there’s always another way”

ffffffffffffffffffuck that story

I can picture Ten smugly putting down the Xbox controller next to a gobsmacked Mickey.

Anyway, that was a good Eruditorum article. I've always been fond of Gareth Roberts as a writer.

Gareth Roberts has got an episode in series 8 hasn't he? I quite like him. His episodes are consistently quite good, in my opinion. The lodger was a really fun episode. Was it the Bottle Episode of series 5?

Rob Shearman everybody.

Seasons of Fear. From Big Finish.

...I'll admit it, that got a laugh out of me.

Me too.

Apparently Smith and Tasha Lem's actor had worked out a history between the two where they'd known each other since, like, 1, but not when he's 11.
