Here’s how it works:
-us changes to -i (in most cases; there are other declensions of -us nouns in Latin),
-is changes to -es,
-es stays the same.
It’s pretty simple.

And don’t get me started on “biases” and “processes”.

In the second video, Karen Gillan looks so much like Ellie Kemper (Erin on The Office), I wouldn’t have known otherwise, but then I don’t watch Dr. Who. I would if I had the time and the channel, but what are you going to do?

As to gay marriage, etc., that is no more to say that the first era of “Doctor Who” was in the 20th century and the new era is in the 21st.

River Song is every bit the doctor’s equal. She deserves her own series which would be an admirable replacement for the prematurely demised Sarah Jane Adventures.

And who missed Amy’s recent acceptance of a wedding invitation, the wedding being that of a girlfriend of Amy’s to her girlfriend? There was (and indeed could not have been) any of that in the older series.

And how can you have missed how far out of a different closet his companions have come?

Science isn’t the only issue, nor is education rightly confined to history alone. It used to be, in the antiquated series some are championing here, that the companion was merely fluff employed for the sole purpose of getting into trouble so that the doctor could rescue her. Indeed, one companion in the old series quit the show precisely because that was all she was allowed to be.

If you haven’t noticed how much the doctor’s three most recent companions (River, Amy, & Rory) have been accomplishing, and what strong roles they’ve played, then you haven”t been paying close enough attention.

Alas Amy & Rory are now gone, but River continues and furthermore, this winter of our discontent is about to be made glorious summer by a daughter of Lancashire.

Onward and upwards, I say.

B) Tipler’s rotating-cylinder idea is, from an engineering viewpoint, on a par with building a complete solar system starting with only a sufficient mass of hydrogen, and it can’t take you back to a time before the machine was turned on. It is also generally believed that the resulting time travel would work as in “Babylon 5” or “Harry Potter”—you can only change the past the way you always changed it; however, this is less certain.

C) Yes, the Sonic Screwdriver can be overused. It was overused before, which is why it was written out back in 1982. But, honestly, it’s no more overused than any TV cowboy’s six-shooter. It solves many of the Doctor’s difficulties, but it doesn’t solve his problems.

“The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can. But for that very reason he cannot possibly read every work solemly or gravely. For he will read ‘in the same spirit that the author writ.’… He will never commit the error of trying to munch whipped cream as if it were venison.”
― C.S. Lewis, “An Experiment in Criticism”

I don’t think it is a religion, but it can be something that one obsesses about. I have to say that I think Amy is way more beautiful than River Song.

At least I hurl pumpkins. How many other nerds can say that?
