This isn’t the first time The Doctor has used chess to play off against an enemy with Very Big consequences.
This thing with chess in the recent episode, how central it was to the defeat of the enemy and the stakes on the outcome reminded me of an adventure from the time of the Seventh Doctor called ‘The Curse of Fenric’.
One could maybe call it a habit even, and a pretty fantastic one at that.

If Facebook had a theme song….
are you kidding me this isn’t even Facebook’s theme song this is my theme song
i sing this at people and they get scared
there was a time when men were kind
and their voices were soft
and their words inviting
there was a time when love was blind
and the world was a song
and the song was exciting
there was a time
but everything changed when the fire nation attacked
