    That would be something. But I don't know how they'd get Nardole back. (No lip, I like Nardole.)

    Although, curiously enough Matt Smith was listed as "Matthew Smith" in the credits for Terminator Genisys.

    Well, it didn't work. We still knew it was him.

    That's things get weird. The promotional stuff for the movie called him Matt Smith, but the movie itself lists him as Matthew Smith.

    He's been guarding the vault for 50 years, and maybe possibly, there have been no problems... So, maybe there never will ever be any sort of vault related calamity.

    Smile was a great nod to classic Hartnell Style Doctor who. A human colony, robots on the rampage. Bill was perfectly a companion. Had great visuals, excellent story! It felt like a modern Hartnell story, all the way to the robot human negotiations. Perfectly awesome. A great sci-fi episode. Every bit as worthy to that of a classic Twilight zone, outer limits, and a classic Hartnell serial. Fun! I watched it 3 times now. Still gets better. Not Sure about the latest episode, but I'll comment after watching it on DVR when I get home from work today.

    I thought they looked a bit like the so-called Handbots.

    Half expecting "This is a kindness."
