Bad, the Alpha Centaurans don’t look nearly as penis-like as the [Vervoids](http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Vervoid). ---

> [@Merijeek](#): > > Yeah, really, this was a case of someone really looking for something truly ridiculous to complain about. :rolleyes: You complain about what you want to complain about. I’ll complain about what I want to complain about. To me, it made sense when he showed up in America wearing a hat from America. But now we find out he didn’t get it in America, it makes it … out of place. He could have had that showdown with the hat anywhere. Australia, Africa, 2756 on the planet of Juba-Gooba. The hat no longer has connection to where he was wearing it. Is it a major deal? Not at all. But it bugs me. > [@Monkey\_Chews](#): > > Why did they get married again?

Are there 2 different Amys running around the Universe now? Does that mean there are 2 Doctors as well? Amy, Rory, and River are complex space-time events, having traveled through the vortex. That’s why Amy could remember the Doctor back into existence - she still remembers those things that happened in the universe that blew up and was reset. That’s why she woke up surprised to find her parents there for her wedding. Those events happened. Otherwise, it’s possible River doesn’t die in the Library, because that was all part of the universe that was. Right? Of course - Ack, Monsters, Run! ---

The most recent episode of Supernatural had a character named Amy Pond, I suggest next season Who return the favor and feature a character called Bobby Singer. Or an alien species called the Padeleckis. Also a replica of the TARDIS was part of a plot on a recent Gray’s Anatomy. Guess the BBCA’s push to get the show more over in America hasn’t been without some success! ---

I belong to a Doctor Who fan group here in San Antonio, where once a month two episodes are shown at the Alamo Drafthouse. Before the episodes start a 20-30 minute montage of various DW related clips are shown, and this last Friday they sent out a message asking for new material. I decided “what the hell” and figured I could do something. So, 2 years late to the fad, I finally made my first [Downfall mashup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vz6-tJcVvI), this one with Hitler being pissed about Billie Piper/Rose Tyler not making a journey to Berlin. Hope y’all enjoy. For a first-time effort, it’s not horrible. Of course, I would say that. 😉 ---

That was hilarious, JohnT! I will say, however, that I find Martha much hotter than Rose. ---

Yeah, but Hitler was, shall we say, a bit prejudicial. There’s no way he’ll favor any NuWho companion over the blonde Rose. ---
