Sorry but It's pretty clear she says Shiting NOT biting
Oh yeah, I loved this episode.
Surely it'd be Shiteing?

Spelling isn't my strong point

Because have to have something to argue about.
Oh, well why did you say so? If that's all it was, then...
RTD is a talentless hack who never wrote anything worth seeing after his early 90s episodes of Chucklevision. He turned Doctor Who into a soap opera platform for his own agenda, and wouldn't know coherent sci-fi if it clapped him around his smug luvvie face.
Or maybe we all agree on that now Moffat's in charge.

You have a random generator for that sort of post by now, right?
It's an automated template isn't it?
I'd agree he did his finest work around that time.
Doesn't mean it was any good, mind.
Same here, I loved that. In fact there were so many great lines and moments that just reading the script would probably be a blast.
Lol. Who watches Doctor Who for "coherent scifi"?? RTD's stories were more often than not fun and exciting and emotional, which are elements the vast majority of genre shows NEVER get right (SGU, anyone?).
Personally I'll take those things over an iron-tight, hardcore scifi plot anyday.
That's a very good point.
No, the scene went this way:
Steven Moffat said:
"Fighting" -- that is, refusing to acknowledge that the Doctor was not real -- is obviously much less serious an answer and more in tone with a romp for the whole family than a child biting someone. "Fighting" is a word that simply implies a refusal to accept what they tell her to accept; "biting" is an actual act of violence.
"Fighting." The idea of her biting someone is just disturbing.
Hey Sci, remember when I made the point a few months back that you never ever admitted when you were wrong and you (of course) disagreed with me?
Hey Starkers, remember when I told you I didn't care?
Yes, I saw the same episode you did. I heard "fighting." I saw it again, and I heard "fighting." Then I saw it again, and I heard "fighting. Then I saw it yet again, and I heard "fighting." Then I looked at that scene again after this debate popped up, and I heard "fighting."
Now, I could be mishearing it, but so could you. Until I see a script or hear from Moffat or Gillan, I'm not buying that she said "biting."
For this, however, you win the Internet.
What, I don't get a consolation prize for setting up Starkers? 
On a more serious note, I'll have rewatch the scene, but thought Amy said "fighting" for the same reasons Sci has outlined.

Two different subtitles both said "biting." The majority of the people heard "biting." "Biting" fits the tone of the scene. Yes, subtitles can often include typos. But that's not a typo. That's what people actually heard, and it makes sense.
You're wrong. So very, very, very painfully wrong.

Biting, fighting... I don't give a rats..
Can we just move on?
Can we just move on?
no!
Biting, she said biting. But could this be taken to another thread, since the line is in 'The Eleventh Hour' and let folks get back to discussing 'Amy's Choice'?
On that topic, could the Doctor be assuming too much guilt and darkness to say the Dreamlord was him? These parasites were accessing his mind through the TARDIS systems, couldn't they also be accessing Rory's and Amy's psyche's as well? The Dreamlord could be better seen as a compilation of all three folks?
